Personality Tests

       I find personality tests to be very reflective of how I view myself. I have taken both the "Big Five Personality Test" and the "MBTI" previously on my own. I think that they are fun and I enjoy seeing if I receive the same or similar results every time. This time was no different than the past, and I am proud of the results that I get. I like to know new things about myself, and these tests tend to open my eyes to different aspects of myself that I hadn't noticed before, but now realize to be true. I feel as though it is extremely important to answer all of the questions on these tests as accurately as you can, so that none of the results are skewed. I also think it is important to read the full summary explanation of the results because there is a ton of interesting information in it. The results I got from both tests reflect each other for the most part. I am mostly an introvert, except around people with whom I'm comfortable with, in which case I'm extremely outgoing. I am very hardworking and determined, and can always be relied on to get the job done thoroughly.
       One thing that I just discovered about myself while taking the MBTI this time around was that I am a defender personality type. I tend to put others first and like to make sure that they're alright before I take care of myself. The specific lettered results I got from the Myers Briggs test were, ISFJ, which in short translates to, "A high sense of duty."
       I believe that the biggest traits that "The Big Five" got right about me is that I am a huge worry-wart. I worry about everything, from super important to not at all relevant to my life. The other trait would be the fact that I am extremely close-minded. This translates into my life because I hate change, I'm not very good at it at all. I'm also the kind of person who refuses to try new foods or go to parties where I'm forced to hang out with people I don't know. After seeing my results and just how close minded I am, it makes me realize that it is probably something I should work on.
       In my free time I'm one of those people who always takes the random personality tests that one would find on Facebook. I think that they're fun and silly, but at the same time I also think that they really make you reflect on yourself and see if you like the person that you are.

The following is the charted results that I received from the Big Five:
