=**Personality Assessments Activity**=

After taking the MMDI and the Factor Five personality assessments, I believe the results are pretty valid. Two days prior to taking these assessments, I took a different personality assessment that was much like the MMDI. The results were nearly identical besides the letter at the end, on the MMDI it resulted in a "J" for but on the other assessment a "P." Personally I believe I am higher on the Perspective side rather than the Judging side. The Factor Five personality assessment was more accurate than the MMDI which is strange due to the MMDI having a more broad outlook, however the Factor Five was nearly spot on my personality. For example: "People high in extraversion are energetic and seek out the company of others" (Buchanan). Considering these results are reliable and valid, one would be able to see changes in an individuals scores over time from different experiences that individual endures. Especially if a traumatic event was to occur, this would eventually condition one to have a different personality over time (Boyd). This goes along with the nature-nurture debate, one's nature is able to change due to experiences through nurturing and development (Boyd). Research on the effects of losing a loved one could be enhanced by using these personality assessments over periods of time to see how drastically an individual's personality has changed after such a difficult experience.
