Four Preferences ENFJ
The easiest way to look at your personality uses four preferences, which are detailed in the table (right). You combine your results, shown by the green bars in the table, to get your personality type code, i.e., ENFJ. The MMDI suggests that you also consider whether your type might be ENTJ.

Part 2

My results from the test was ENFJ this is suggesting that I'm an Extrovert which I think is accurate and have found that result from various other assessments. The N from the test stands for “ looks at potential and possibilities, and tends to be interested in what is not yet known.” The F in the assessment stands for the “Feeling involves using values, taking a personal, subjective view as a participant, valuing and appreciating.” The final letter J is defined Perception retains flexibility, inquiring, being spontaneous, keeping options open and waiting to see what develops. I think all these accurately define my Personality and this test is very useful giving me definitions or words to describe my personality. I think the Five Factor Personality Test was more accurate for a couple different reasons. There was more questions in the second one which I think you will find out more about the person doing the survey, giving them a more accurate result at the end. The assessment from team technology was brief and I think the questions were too simple to give an accurate result. My results that were more accurate were from the second one it gave me a closer representation of who I am. They both were easy to interpret and take for personality assessment tests.

Part 3

I thought that the MBTI article was interesting when it stated “ Because the MBTI is a theory of types, a person can have only one preference. Although it is possible for people to develop the complementary style (an introvert, for example, could learn to be more extroverted when speaking in groups) the primary preference will always dominate the person's personality.” This theory I think is interesting because I think you can can change and grow as a person from a intro to extrovert and viceversa. I think it takes certain characteristics to in a person to be able to adapt to these sort of changes. If you are strong in the categories Thinking, Feeling, and perception I think it would be easy to change from an introvert to extrovert. I think the MBTI is accurate way of going it states “ In summary, the differences between the two-letter categories are not as sharp and clear cut as it would appear. Because the MBTI uses an absolute classification scheme for people, it is possible for people with relatively similar scores to labeled with much different personalities.” This expands on different personalities so students with different backgrounds can participate in it and get an accurate assessment. In the textbook “Mastering The World of Psychology” it talks on page 371 about other ways too for Personality Assessments offering different interviews, observations, and rating scales. In the article “ Reinterpreting the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator from the perspective of the five-factor model of personality” it talks about the Myers Brigg and how there the Reinterpreting the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator from the perspective of the five-factor model of personality. Meaning that there is not enough proof or evidence to provide a sound basis. In the text book for Human Growth and Development “ Lifespan Development,” on page 279 it discusses the five big personality traits. Banduras Reciprocal Determinism suggests that personal, behavioral, and environmental factors influence personality development. There is lots of different personality assessment in the fields of psychology and human growth and development each takes in different characteristics into factor, testing different theories, and gives you different results for your personality.
