Part 2: To tell you the truth, I really enjoyed taking both of the tests. While taking them, I didn't try to interperet what my scores were going to be. I just answered them with my own perspective. I viewed it as a way to see if your perspective of your personality matches up with the results from another test. Since both of them asked typical questions that led up to results, I'd say it is a true test. Yet, it also depends on how you look at it. Some might say no, because the people who made the test could have interpreted those questions and base it around their own opinions. I was very surprised when my results came out relatively high on dependability from the BIG 5 test. Don't get me wrong I knew I can be dependable, but I never thought of myself to be that dependable. Even if I wasn't, I always remember to try my best and give 100%. I also agree with my results from the MBTI test. My scores match up to my own perspective of my personality. Dispite the test results, nothing can take away who you really are inside. Don't let test results change the way you are, just be yourself.

Part 4: Scientist are wanting to move from the MBTI to the BIG 5, because they say that the MBTI isn't 100% accurate. It starts out with asking you typical questions that someone would ask you. Then instead of giving you your own status, it takes your answers and sumorizes them into specific catagories. What they do is have sevral catagories that has a letter fall into a certain catagory. In other words, you are either labled as one or the other. Once your classified as a ENJC for instance then your a ENJC for life. This test basically is dividing people into two groups called the norm and the abnorm, wich is saying, "We have normal people who can talk properly, think smart, and learn quick and some who are stupid, don't know how to speak, and learn too slow. Now that sounds pretty vauge and harsh don't you think? Scientist didn't think that was a fair test, because people do change as they grow and develope. Now they decided to move to the BIG 5 since its more flexible to work with and the results don't have you fall into a certain catagory with a final decision. They want people to feel comfortable taking the test and viewing their scores, not neglected.
