This last personality test that I had to take was especially more interesting to analyze because I was able to compare and contrast the results directly to those of previous tests. Basically, the result of this test was very similar to the results of other tests (especially the Keirsey test). The Big Five Personality Test is based on the five factors of openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. I think all the factors are quite straightforward but since the information provided after taking the test is very brief, it is difficult to delve further into more specific parts that potentially could be analyzed. Like the result of the Keirsey test, this test shows that I am more conventional (rather than innovative and attempting new, radical approaches), well-organized, meticulous, and introverted. Moreover, like the Type A & B test in which I was characterized as a Type B person, this test similarly demonstrates that I am generally relaxed instead of being stressed. Yet, I think I do actually encounter frequent high-stress levels because there is a large workload in junior year and I often have to sacrifice other things such as leisure time and sleep to accomplish things in this academically challenging school. The only information that was new from this test was the "Agreeableness" factor; this result states that I am neither very forgiving nor irritable. Yet, the Keirsey test analysis asserted that the ISFJ type, which I belong to, was one of the most altruistic and sympathetic types. Of the two conflicting results, however, I believe that the former (that claimed that I am neither too sympathetic nor irritable) is more accurate. Simultaneously, I could be very sympathetic in some situations because I enjoy helping out and I am involved in volunteer activities such as Habitat for Humanity. Overall, the observation and analysis of three separate personality tests allowed me to better understand the different aspects of my personality, which I do not get to spend much time thinking about in daily life.
