Personality Assessment

Personality assessments measure personal characteristics. These assessments portray statements which you, in return, rate on a scale of "likely" to "unlikely" based on knowledge of oneself. The assessments seek to define specific traits, to measure them objectively, and to relate them to socially significant aspects of behavior.

The personality assessment I took related to the Five- Factors. This report estimates the individual's level on each of the five broad personality domains of the Five-Factor Model. The description of each one of the five broad domains is followed by a more detailed description of personality according to the six subdomains that comprise each domain.

Oppeness to Experience = 29

Artistic Interest 70
Emotionality 61

Extraversion = 47

Cheerfulness 84

I agree completely with my Conscientiousness results. However, I expect myself to score higher on Cautiousness.  I consider myself I fairly cautious person. I believe a more relatable score for this section would be at least a 50. 

I also agree with my Agreeableness score. I have a compassionate heart and I find fulfillment in helping others through difficulties. 

I found the Neuroticism questions and explanation very interesting. I was unfamiliar with the term prior to this test. I didn't realize I was being tested on the level of my unpleasant emotions. I find this part of the test incredibly useful because it is common for many people to not associate themselves with mental illnesses. In reality, though, everyone has some degree of mental illness, rather small or large, and we should all be aware of this truth.

I disagree with my Oppeness to Experience score. I consider myself full of adventure. I would much rather experience new places rather than stay home. However, this score does insist that I am down- to -earth, practical, and conservative. With that, I agree.

My Extraversion score indicates that I enjoy both time with others and time alone. This is definitely true. This is the most accurate out of all the Big Five.

  1. Reading your first blog and the results that you show in this new blog, I see that you be inclined towards people. In this type of traits is common to find people who collaborate and socialize with others, and leads to build relationships in the environment that are developed. I would even think that circumstances often help to strengthen traits in a person. You have known how to take advantage of those good times and build a future with your personality traits that your score has been high in your assessment.

  2. That is very interesting. I, too, found that my scores were off on the personality assessment that I took. It's interesting how accurate these things can get off of just a few questions. It will be interesting to see how these assessments progress as technology, and knowledge, is advanced in the coming years.

  3. I also think that this is very interesting, and I also noticed that my scores were off, however my roommates scores were very accurate. I think that it is really great that you added in all of your scores.
