Personality Tests

Jung Typology Test

ENTP
Extroverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving

This test labels me as an inventor, in which sense it seems fairly accurate. The inventor is described as pragmatic, easy-going, and non-conforming, all traits that describe me. This test also says that ENTP personality types like to argue, which I do quite often. I have a lively circle of friends that I am very close with.

As far as the career options go, I would never consider any of these: education, engineering, natural science, or information specialist. These are definitely not my cup of tea. In fact, these are almost my anti-jobs, things to be sure to stay away from.

Planet Personality - Big Five

Expressive 2.6 (M)

Interpersonal 2.5 (M)

Work 3.2 (M)

Emotional 4.7 (L)

Intellectual 4.1 (H)

This test was also fairly accurate. I enjoy social gatherings and being active. I am good at working in groups, and am creative in my work. I handle pressure well, but my self-acceptance can lead me to "erode my desire to excel".

Explain Your Brain - Attraction

I scored about 50% in each category. My test results basically said that I am apathetic. This test is not valid, however, it was fun to take.

Personality Lab - Understand Yourself

Extroversion 40

Agreeableness 47

Conscientiousness 68

Neuroticism 10

Openess to Experience 61

This test said the same things as the other ones. I'm sociable, good-natured, competitive, responsible, calm, and imaginative.

I did find it interesting, however, that both high extroversion and low agreeableness is associated with having more dating partners and smoking.

EQ Test

Score: 38 Slightly Above Average

This test did was not valid. Half of it did not apply to me, but leaving the answer blank was not an option. It says that I am sensitive, which also does not apply to me.

I agree that some of these tests were not very valid and that they had a lot of faults in them. Good post.
