Personality Test!

Please take the personality test at this site and be sure to read the results carefully. Be sure to return to the blog to leave comments about this journey of self discovery.

  1. for the most part, the profile was right, but there were some things that I believe it got wrong. Such as that some of my aspirations tend to be a bit unrealistic. The other things though, like "You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations." are exactly on point.

  2. The personality test for the most part wrong, although it did get a couple things right. I wouldn't call this a "journey of self discovery," since it didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know. This personality study was specific enough to be valid. I had to pick a "YES" or "NO" when the answer was much closer to "It depends on the situation. So, I don't believe that anyone should take this test very seriously. Most personality tests get some things wrong, so you really cant take ANY personality test too seriously, because everyone, at least at some level, is different. You can't just classify everyone, since everyone is at least slightly different.

  3. This site had a general profile, that was about half right in my case. It was fake however. It was just a scam in my mind, so they just go lucky in my case. They must have put a general profile that sounded right a little for most people.

  4. After finishing the personality test I was shocked at my results. The test said I was the personally type of HDC. A lot of the characteristics that this test talked about described me a lot. For instance, "You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself." Which is very true. Also it talked about how I like to be involved but at times I also like to be by myself. The only thing i did not like about this test was how it said my aspirations seem unrealistic. Which I find completely untrue, because I know for a fact that I will fulfill all my dreams. I also didn’t like that it said how I have unfulfilled potential (I know it’s true...I just don’t want to admit it).

  5. After taking the personality test, I would say I would mostly agree with its analysis. However, its statement that "some of my aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic", I completely disagree with. My aspirations to attain a career in the sciences appears completely realistic to me. After reviewing the results of others who have taken the test, I am a little troubled with the test itself. It appears that it generates the same personality summary for each person. So my thoughts are that it may be a trick, or a psychology experiment in itself. If it were a trick it seems it would be designed to see how many would agree with the same personality summary it generates.

  6. Well first I didn't like this test. It was rather long and pointless. Anyways, after reading my results I did agree with some things such as "being self controlled and disciplined" and how I am sociable. However, I don't agree with being insecure of myself. I know who I am and where I am headed. Also, it said that "some of my aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic" which is so not true because to me my aspirations are so realistic. Anyways I see everyone got the same thing so yeah I don't understand the point of this test.

  7. The test was fairly "bland" and didn't delve very deeply into the human mind, so I doubt whether or not it can be called a valid test. Human beings may have very similar minds and can be grouped into categories depending on how they react to certain situations, but our perceptions and reactions to specific stimuli can be vastly different. I don't believe that there can be any test to accurately estimate the personality of a single person. (Beyond obvious psychotic behavior like bringing a mannequin to prom)

  8. I thought the test was pointless (sorry Mr. V) because it was long and the result was slightly inaccurate. I didn’t agree with the result because it said I’m insecure on the inside. I don’t think I’m insecure at all. However, I do agree with some part of the result like being worrisome on the inside. I also agree with the disciplined and self-controlled on the outside part. I love the part, “While you have some personality weaknesses…” which is absolutely untrue but funny.I like to think of myself as a person with a lot of personalities. I don’t understand the acronym TSHI, what does it even stand for?

  9. The test was rather boring, but I really felt that some of the questions the test provided were either not specific enough or too specific. I also would love to know the purpose of some of the questions and how they would play into one's personality. For example, one question asked, "You easily understand new theoretical principles." It doesn't make sense. But as for the result, it was slightly inaccurate. Some of the points made were in accordance to some aspects of my personality, but then again, they are general characteristics of personalities and could be in accordance to anyone because they are too broad...

    I think the Personality test was rather long and because some of the questions are repeated it kinda got rather annoying. Also because of reading my peers responces I have found out that many of us have the same results which makes me believe it was a hoax. But, anywho, the results we pretty accurate. Especially, when it talked about "at times I have serious doubt about my decisions. I also "pride myself in being an independent speaker". Although, I do not agree with the part saying that my aspirations seem to be rather "unrealistic". That' definately not me. I also noticed that many of my answers were yes, and that they could apply to anyone. That is probably why we all have the same results. It's amazing how people can be manipulated by things that look correct or "professional".

  11. After i finished my personality test I was surprised to see that my results fit me perfectly. It had me matched to the letter. I didn't think it would come out correct but it did. A lot of the questions were the same question just asked in different ways. Many test like that tend to do that because it gives them an accurate response. I didn't even really read the question but the test still came out accurate which was the most surprising part. The test was rather long, but I felt it was a good eye-opener.

  12. First of all, I love taking personality tests because I like to learn about myself and my tendencies. The personality test that we took today was the most accurate one I have ever taken. Although I don't want to admit a lot of the things that the personality test results said, I can say that everything is pretty much ture. The only thing that I did not agree with at all was that "Some of [my] aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic." I think that my aspirations are very realistic.

  13. My results said that I have an LJCG personality... I didn't agree with the beginning because it said that I have a need to be liked and accepted by others which is not true. The second half though was true. It said that I over think a lot of things and also I hate having restrictions. Also that at times I’m extremely happy and social, and at other times I am reserved and value peace and quiet.
