Personality Test Assignment

The Personality Test revealed that I possess a Protagonist Personality ENFJ-A/ENFJ-T. The results suggest that I am a natural-born leader full of passion and a great deal of pride and joy in guiding others to work together to improve themselves. I agree with this because I am always reaching out and inspiring others to achieve and do well by going back to school and getting that degree. I do feel that I have a lot of passion and drive. I love to see others bettering themselves and provide them with the tools to do so.

The Protagonists individual also finds it natural and easy to communicate with others and possesses reliable, tolerant and charismatic characteristics. It states that Protagonist Personality types care very much for people and tend to model their goals and ambitions after helping people. I believe that was extremely accurate for me as I would like to spend my entire life helping people in any way I can. I was amazed I received the protagonist personality type. I always knew I wanted to help people, although I never depicted myself as the leader the test illustrates. I agree that I can easily talk to people, although I don’t believe that I would lead a large group successfully on my own. While reading about my personality has taught me not to be afraid if I can lead a large group, I can motivate many people and even rally a team.

I learned that there are many positive attributes to my personality. I am very passionate and charismatic. I have a strong ability to lead those around me. My character thrives best when I am put into a position to inspire those around me; I can honestly say that I am one of the most straightforward people you could ever meet. I communicate my thoughts and feeling well. I enjoy bringing people into the fold. These traits will serve me well in the business.

In taking the personality test, my weaknesses are getting involved in a person’s life, of whom I believe. I am too genuine, and people may feel like they can take advantage of me. Although, I may inspire people. My personality tends to push boundaries and thresholds of what people are capable of, and I tend to transpose other people’s problems and limitations and take them on as my own. While reflecting on these negative traits, I can see how they could become a pitfall in my future career plans. I will probably be responsible for shouldering significant burdens, but I must remember that I cannot take their problem upon myself. It is perfectly alright to help someone without allowing their pain to consume me.

I do not think personality tests are an effective way to determine if a candidate is right for a role. However, I find this unproductive as contestants often. They could very well lie on the quiz so that their personality fits perfectly for the job. Personality tests are useful for collecting data, but formal testing or interviewing can inadvertently motivate candidates to answer questions based on what they think the organization wants to hear, not based on how they feel. I believe it is imperative that instead of relying and being stuck on personality tests because they could sometimes be inaccurate, people should realize their strengths and weaknesses and make the best decisions for themselves based on that. Reading the unit and taking the test myself has allowed me to break down and fully understand emotions and personality and has led to so many possible research and question.
