Personality Assessment Response Reducing conflict; developing your management skills; becoming more influential; navigating midlife. Sixteen Whole Types; The MMDI thinks your personality is closest to **ESFP**, 2 and 2nd closest to **ESTP**. If your closest personality type is ESFP then you are an action-oriented people person. You seek to live life to the full, and enjoy applying your people-skills (and other practical skills) to achieve a tangible benefit for people. You have a strong sense of immediacy or urgency - realizing what needs to be done now - and are probably often urging your colleagues to stop talking and get on with doing something. Your Unique Type Dynamics deepen your self-awareness; explain some of the contradictory aspects of your personality; show how you can develop and grow. Leadership; your leadership profile is a mix of eight leadership styles. The style you like to use most is as an action-oriented leader. Action-oriented leadership involves taking action and leading by example. An action-oriented leader has a strong sense of immediacy, focusing on the task in hand and seeing it through to fruition. The role of other people in the organization is to support the action-oriented leader (e.g.: a sports captain or racing driver). **Factor I : Extraversion (AKA Surgency) ** This trait reflects preference for, and behavior in, social situations. People high in extraversion are energetic and seek out the company of others. Low scorers (introverts) tend to be more quiet and reserved. Compared to other people who have taken this test, your score on this dimension (33) is //about average//. **Factor II : Agreeableness (AKA Friendliness) ** === This trait reflects how we tend to interact with others. People high in agreeableness tend to be trusting, friendly and cooperative. Low scorers tend to be more aggressive and less cooperative. Compared to other people who have taken this test, your score on this dimension (27) is //about average//. ===
 * Part 1- Preferences; ESFx, Relationships; improving relationships;

Factor III : Conscientiousness (AKA Will or Dependability)
=== This trait reflects how organized and persistent we are in pursuing our goals. High scorers are methodical, well organized and dutiful. Low scorers are less careful, less focussed and more likely to be distracted from tasks. Compared to other people who have taken this test, your score on this dimension (42) is //relatively high// === **Factor IV : Neuroticism ** This trait reflects the tendency to experience negative thoughts and feelings. High scorers are prone to insecurity and emotional distress. Low scorers tend to be more relaxed, less emotional and less prone to distress. Compared to other people who have taken this test, your score on this dimension (19) is //about average//. **Factor V: Openness (AKA Culture or Intellect) ** This trait reflects 'open-mindedness' and interest in culture. High scorers tend to be imaginative, creative, and to seek out cultural and educational experiences. Low scorers are more down-to-earth, less interested in art and more practical in nature. Compared to other people who have taken this test, your score on this dimension (24) is //about average//. Part 2 I think the second test is more accurate. The second test is also easier to read and easier to interrupt. It also seemed to hit things you go through every day. For example, when doing a project do you wait or get started right away or do you like meeting new people. The first test had all the charts and you could not see the full thing unless you buy it, so it made it harder to read and understand. The only part I do not agree with on the second test is the extraversion. If I do not have to talk to people I will not. The only time I talk a lot is on at work, but outside of work and I see and I do not like you I will not talk to you. I might say hey so I do not seem rude. The second test was the test I liked the most. Everything was easier. It was not that and easier to read. If I had choose to take the personality test again I would choose the second one any day of the week. Part 4 I do not think a personality test should determine if you get the job or not. Yeah a test may tell how a person acts, but some people can hind their feeling very well. For example, could hide how she felt about a person. You do not have to be nice to the person outside of work. More likely than not you will only see that person once or once a year depending on the field you are in. Using a test to say if a person should or should not get the job is crazy. The only time a test should determine if you should get or not get the job is if it is a test that deals with the company or your safety. I think that is all that should matter and how you act with others. I know I do not like people I work with, but I do not let my boss know. And it does not show at work. I only see that person for a couple of hours a day. It is pretty easy to keep my thoughts and feeling to myself and not let others know how I feel about something or someone. The only thing that matters is if you can get the job done and have a smile on your face while you are doing it.
