Chapter 13 First Impression

When taking the personality tests, I felt like the yes or no answers were difficult to answer. I wanted to say maybe or I do not know, but they were not an option. Other than that, I think that most of the personality tests are credible. It is difficult to be accurate though, because of all the exceptions. Some people. including myself, do not fit into the categories the quizzes presented. I would say they were all reasonably credible. They are free quizzes that are not very thorough, so I did not expect them to be these amazing quizzes.

I think the quiz that most accurately describes my personality was the color quiz. I was confused on why they had me pick the colors in order of how each made me feel. I did not see the correlation between them and my personality. On the contrary, when my results came back, they were more accurate than the past sixty question quizzes. I also liked the Humanmetrics Jung Typology quiz. When I got my results, the were pretty spot on. They said I was 16% extrovert and 19% introvert, which I agree with. In certain situations, I tend to be one over the other. It just depends on where and who I am with.

  1. Ally, I feel the same way about the yes or no type questions. There were also some with only two responses, but I didn’t necessarily agree with either of them. I feel like they would be improved if they were more like the other tests which let you respond on a scale. I think those ones are more accurate because most situations aren’t clearly a one or the other type. Often times, you can choose to be more neutral or leaning slightly towards one option because most times both choices offer positives and negatives which make the choice more complex than one or the other.

    I also agree with you about the color test. At first glance I thought there was no way that the test could possibly describe my personality based on what order I clicked the colors. When I got the results back I was shocked to see that it was the most accurate of the tests. The rest of the tests took way longer and then left me with results that weren’t necessarily as clear as the color test. I think there’s definitely room for improvement on those tests. Overall, I agree that the tests were good enough for the purpose of this, especially when considering the fact that they were free.
