Name: Date: Psychology - Personality Assessment

Part I - Tests // Directions: Visit the following web site and fill out the survey to find out your personality type: // []

Answer the survey online and submit it to find out your personality type. When taking the survey, it is best not to dwell on the questions but to follow your first instinct. Answer the following questions.  1) What is your personality type? What does each letter mean? List the strengths of each of your preferences. ENFJ   || 2)
 *  Your Type is
 *  Extraverted ||  Intuitive  ||  Feeling  ||  Judging  ||
 *  Strength of the preferences % ||
 *  22 ||  12  ||  19  ||  78  ||

 3) Click on the two type descriptions for your personality and read them. Print out __one__ of the personality summaries. Name 2 or 3 parts of your personality summary that stand out in your mind. Why are these parts most important to you?   Teachers like things settled and organized, and will schedule their work hours and social engagements well ahead of time -- and they are absolutely trustworthy in honoring these commitments. Valuing as they do interpersonal cooperation and harmonious relations, Teachers are extraordinarily tolerant of others, are easy to get along with, and are usually popular wherever they are.    I think it is very important for people to have these qualities to attain a leadership position in a work place. I feel it is essential to be a trustworthy and able to work with people to be successful.

 4) Is your personality assessment accurate? Why or why not?  I feel that this is pretty accurate in my case. I have to plan everything out because I have so much to do and I have learned to manage my time very well. Everyone I know trusts me and I’ve never given them a reason to think otherwise. I’m an honest person, I work hard, and I care very much about other people. I’m very patient with people and easy to talk to from all my work experience.

 5) Which statements in the personality summary do you disagree with?   //Without a doubt, they know what is going on inside themselves, and they can read other people with uncanny accuracy.//

Warmly outgoing, and perhaps the most expressive of all the types, Teachers are remarkably good with language, especially when communicating in speech, face to face.//

Here is another example of a popular personality test, the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. Y ou have to provide an email address to get your results. http://www.keirsey.com/sorter/register.aspx

8). What were your results? How do they compare to the previous test?

Part III - Unconscious Tests One of Freud's major contributions to the field of psychology was his study of the unconscious. People often do not say what is on their mind, either because they are unwilling or because they are unable to do so. You will explore this theory in a series of tests at the Project Implicit site run by Harvard. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/

Click on "Demonstration." read the IAT Home page, then click on the "go to demonstration tests" link at the bottom. Read then Preliminary Information and then click on "I wish to proceed." You may chose any of the sample tests.

1). Which test did you try? Why did you pick this one?

2). What were your results?

3). Explain your reactions to this test. What does this say about your unconscious?

Part IV - Freud The following site lets you explore some of Freud's personal belongings and furniture. The first one shares background information on Freud's life: http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/freud.html

This one explores his belongings: http://imet.csus.edu/imet3/drbonnie/sp02project/ex1intro.htm

1). After exploring these sites, reflect on what you learned about Freud.

2) Has your opinion of him changed? Why or why not?

After you've answered all the questions, add the numbers you selected for each response to obtain a final score. The higher your score, the greater your level of addiction and the problems your Internet usage causes. Here's a general scale to help measure your score: After you have identified the category that fits your total score, look back at those questions for which your scored a 4 or 5. Did you realize this was a significant problem for you? For example, if you answered 4 (often) to Question #2 regarding your neglect of household chores, were you aware of just how often your dirty laundry piles up or how empty the refrigerator gets? Say you answered 5 (always) to Question #14 about lost sleep due to late-night log-ins. Have you ever stopped to think about how hard it has become to drag yourself out of bed every morning? Do you feel exhausted at work? Has this pattern begun to take its toll on your body and your overall health?
