Everyone in class had to take a personality test. The point is to try to gain a general sense of what type of person you are and possible career choices one may consider to follow based on the outcome of the test. The categories I fell in were ENFJ. Extroverted (11%), Intuitive (36%), Feeling (12%) and Judging (56%). Although I'm in a low percentile for each section, I re-took the text two more times and the percentage was just about the same.
The professor mentioned in class that he scored a high percentage in each of his categories and when he re-took it, it was the same. Although I scored the same each time I took the test, they were all low in percentage, So what does that mean for me?
The outcome of the personality test I took does not affect my career choice because I feel strongly about what I want to do in life and psychology was listed in possible career choices. My strategy for success is the same also but I'm curious about the schools that were listed for psychology after I took the test. They were online schools and I would like to find out if those schools are any good and if its recommended to take online courses to fulfill the requirements for earning a degree in psychology or is it best to actually attend a school and interact face to face and one on one with the professors ans other students.
Hi Ash, don't worry about the low percentages; it just means that you are a little more of one than the other. Personally i think it's a good thing because i think it means that that you are more well rounded and fit right in the middle of people with opposite personalities. As far as your education goes, don't worry too much about it; just plan ahead and keep doing what you are doing now. i do think that you should interact with people 1 on 1 since the experience couldn't hurt for your goals. i wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteHey Ash, you actually don't have to worry about those schools that were listed. I'm assuming those were listed because the personality test was taken online. In my opinion, I believe Psychology majors should be able to interact with other people just to have a sense of what it will be like interacting with others when we start out as Psychologists. We have a similar career path, as well as similar results on the personality test, except I am an introvert & you're the opposite.
