Week 6: Personality Tests
This week, I took multiple personality tests, and the results are below.
1. Jung Typology Test
This first test gave me 64 statements and assessed my agreeableness on each statement. While I was taking the test, I could tell how my answers would affect my personality results. I would say that this test is valid because the results are pretty close to what I perceive my personality as. The amount and variety of questions further allow for more accuracy on the results.
2. Big Five Personality Test
Just like the Jung personality test, this test proposed a series of statements, and I had to agree or disagree to each statement. This test was longer and more tedious than the Jung personality test. However, the length of the test could mean that the test is more accurate because it covers a wider variety of personality aspects. The results from this test also did not deviate too far from my view of my personality.
3. Hogwarts House Test
This test was in the same format as the previous personality tests. As I was taking the 160 question test, could easily identify which statements corresponded to which house. A lot of the questions were repeated, and towards the end of the test I (and probably other test takers) wasn't putting as much thought into my agreeableness of each statement due to the length of the test. However, I was expecting myself to lean towards the Hufflepuff house because the other three houses don't suit my personality very well. The results matched my expectations, so I would say this hogwarts test was pretty valid.
4. Visual-Spatial Test
This test required me to visualize objects and choose the correct image after something is done to the object, such as rotating it. There were ten questions total, but I spotted some flaws. One of the questions had two answer choices that were nearly identical, and another question was very unclear as to what it was asking. However, the majority of the questions were good assessments of one's visualizing capability. The test told me that I was average, but I wasn't able to see which questions I got wrong. I apparently had to pay money (who would do that) to get more detailed results. Despite these flaws, the test is pretty good at testing visualizing skills.
5. Multiple Intelligence and Learning Style Test
This test made me rank from 1-5 on how much each of 33 statements related to my personality. The questions were fairly reasonable, and I thought that I would be able to predict how my results would turn out based on my answers. However, the test result was opposite of what I expected. It told me that I was interpersonal, meaning that I have "people to people" intelligence. This means that I'm supposedly good with communication, leadership, emotions of other people, etc. I think this test is somewhat valid because even though my results were not what I expected, the questions can determine the type of intelligence other test takers would have.

Since the all of the tests that I took were very lengthy, I decided to google a shorter personality test and see if my results turned out similar. I went to https://discovermyprofile.com/miniIPIP.html. This test gave 20 statements (compared to the 65+ from the previous two tests) and asked me to agree or disagree on each statement. My results turned out somewhat similar to the first two tests I took. They were just more extreme and slightly inaccurate in my opinion. However, this is very predictable because a shorter test usually means that it doesn't cover as wide of a scope as longer tests.
