__**Personality Assessment**__

==== The results of the two personality tests I took were very accurate. The first test said I was logical and practical, and that I enjoyed solving problems (MBTI), this is true. The second test I took described me in five factors: quiet/conserved, average on interaction and trusting others, very persistent and organized, relaxed state of mind, and practical (Big Five). The second test is accurate except that I am not always stress free or in a relaxed state of mind. I tend to create stressful situations when I shouldn’t. Both tests have similar questions and a similar way of answering, except that the Big Five test had a label for each answer unlike the MBTI test. I think that in the future the Big Five test will be more accurate because of the detailed labels for each answer. The difference between a personality test and assessment is that a test is a set of question with a scale to calculate the results. An assessment would be the use of a set of tests, interviews, and interpretation of the data to decide a person’s personality (hansgordon). Psychological research uses personality assessments, especially in the nature-nurture debate. This debate is on whether or not behavior is inherited through genetics or environmental factors which is an ongoing debate in psychology between nativists and empiricists (simplypsychology). ====
