Example Of Essay On Three Personality Tests

All three tests offer detailed and extensive insight into my personality and the associated traits. Test 1 brands me as someone extrovert, moderately conscientious, less agreeable and not very open to new experiences. Test 2 reinforces these claims as far as Extraversion and Conscientiousness are concerned but it terms me a very open and agreeable person with low tendency to experience negative emotions. The big five personality test (Test 3) rates me on the same parameters but produces some considerable changes in the results compared to other two tests. It indeed calls me a very conventional, very agreeable, relaxed, moderately reliable and well-organized personality.
The results, though not totally satisfactory, do help me paint a picture of my personality. By ranking me well on the conscientiousness scale all three tests prove me to be a rather reliable, dependable, competent, well-organized and futuristic individual who is not very extrovert and open. The percentile scores of Test 3 (The Big Five personality test) indeed reflect my personality very well.
Tests results for test 2 and test 3 do match to a great extent and for most of the parameters while the results of test 1 are totally out of sync.
Test 3 (The big five test) almost very effectively gauges my personality. It judges me as a helpful person, a good organizer, well organized, a good manager, self-disciplined and futuristic and hence quite rightly examines my personality. These are some of the traits, which I do possess in real and am often commended for.
The Big Five personality captures my personality better than Myers-Briggs type indicator test as the latter fails to capture some of my personality traits correctly, while the big five test does pretty well on all five indicators or parameters and hence does help me better than other two tests in general and Myers-Briggs in specific.
Personality test helps a great deal in a number of ways and more so in the context of engineering design as it helps one identify his/her weaknesses and strengths which are something of paramount importance in pursuing any engineering design.
