Personality Tests

Today we're going to be taking a Myers-Briggs personality test.  This will give you an estimate of what your "personality type" is.  Personality types can help you select occupations or college majors if you are undecided.
  • Answer the questions as honestly as you can, and try to not leave the sliders in the center.  If you're honest about your feelings, the results are more accurate.
  • When you have your result, write your personality type on the top [as a title] of a new piece of paper.  (Mine is ENFJ).
  • Summarize your "Strengths" in a paragraph.  Make a note about whether this is accurate or not.
  • Summarize your "Weaknesses" in a paragraph.  Make a note about whether this is accurate or not.
  • Click the "Personal Relationships" button.
  • Discuss how your "Personal Relationship" results are right or wrong.
  • Click the "Career" button.
  • Summarize the "Work Habits" section and discuss whether you think the results are accurate or not.
  • Summarize the "Career Plans" section.  Make a bulleted list of careers that might work for your personality type.  End with whether you think those are careers that might interest you.
Next, take another Myers-Briggs test here:  https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

  • Did you get the same personality type?  How are they similar?  How are they different?
  • Click "Start Reading" and read about your personality type.
  • Having taken two different Myers-Briggs tests, how has your view of your place in the world changed?  Why or why not?
