Assignment 5: Personality Test

The O.C.E.A.N. and the Myers- Briggs test were a highlight of this course for me. I love

to learn why people think the way that they do. Through both personality tests some results that I

received seemed to describe me exactly, while I was surprised by some results that were

displayed.

On the O.C.E.A.N. exam, the O portion compared openness vs. closeness. For this

portion, I scored a 34 on openness. The only part of O I can say that I am alike would have to

be aesthetics. I do have a huge appreciation for arts but, I am not a fan of change. I do not open

up and share my feelings willingly unless I know you well enough to know you are not going to

hurt me. I have walls and it takes certain people to break down them down. This was the lowest

score on the O.C.E.A.N. test. O.C.E.A.N test say, people who score on low on this part are both

traditional and conventional. I would have to agree. My dad is military man, from upstate New

York. He is Italian and Catholic. My mother is from New Jersey and is Italian and Catholic as

well. One could say the way were raised were as traditional and conventional as possible.

According to the Myers- Briggs test To evaluate goals I use more feeling than thinking which

is not that surprising. I would agree that I base a lot of my decisions on my feelings. If I do this
will I be happy or content? is the question I tend to ask myself a lot. To summarize, I am not

one to share my feelings with others but I do tend to use my emotions when making decisions.

The next portion of the O.C.E.A.N. exam was conscientiousness verse lack of direction.

For this examination, I scored a 95 on Conscientiousness. O.C.E.A.N. test says, if you scored

high on this category you are careful and diligent. I would definitely agree with my score. I

believe that everything has a place and I love knowing what the task is at hand and what the

steps are to get the task completed. I am a perfectionist and do not like when things are not exact.

I will give 150% in whatever is asked and nothing less. I have back up plans for my back up

plans. You could say the hit the nail on the head for this one. On the Myers-Briggs exam the

results were also a very accurate representation of me. The website? states judging is a

preference for a structured lifestyle to describe the judging personality type that I was

characterized as.

On the O.C.E.A.N. exam E section which was extraversion versus introversion I scored

a 78 for extraversion. On the Myers-Briggs exam I scored only slightly past neutral towards the

extroversion side. I think I agree nor disagree with on both scoring outcomes of each test. The

best way to describe my personality would be a turtle. I am shy when you first meet me so I am

in my shell. Give me about ten minutes and I come out of shell and I am good to go. I love to

meet new people but I must be with group of friends, rather than on my on my own, to talk to

someone new. I do look at life as the glass half full. I am excited about new adventures and

meeting new people. Life would be to lonely to keep to myself. I have this painting in my room

that is a picture of the world. When I look at it reminds me of how much I desire to travel. I want

to travel the world, and meet new people. Get to know their stories.
 Next the O.C.E.A.N. test was A, agreeable verse antagonism. For this test, I scored a

95 on Agreeable. I would have to concur that with this scoring. I believe I am extremely friendly

and optimistic. I consider myself to be an easy person to talk to. I love meeting and talking to

people and getting to know their story. These results correlate with my tendency to be more on

the extraverted side. I believe everything in life happens for a reason and as I stated before I view

life as the glass half full. You are in control of how your life will play out and you can either

dwell on the negative that life throws at you or you can choose to focus on the positive!

Lastly on the O.C.E.A.N. exam was N. which was neuroticism vs. emotional stability.

During this examination, I scored a 48 on Neuroticism. I agree with these results. I do get

anxious easily when I do not know what to expect. I am extremely self-consciousness and I am a

perfectionist. I like to be in control of my body. I guess you can say I am control freak when it

comes to myself. I need to be in control. I am extremely vulnerable to stress. When things do not

go as plan it stress me out. In my head, I have had a certain way of how everything was going to

play out when that goes off track it scares me. It all comes down to a common denominator

which is that I have a fear of the unknown. Tell me the when, where, why and I am Zen. The

results of the Myers-Briggs exam also were an accurate representation of me. Specifically my

results that stated I was more on the judging side correlate well with the results of this section of

the OCEAN exam. I love to know what is coming and I am a control freak maybe, but I just do

not have the personality for a flexible lifestyle.
