Multiple Personality Test

The 4 personality types that I got from taking the Jung Typology test was ESFJ, which

means I am an Extrovert, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging person. I agree with the fact that I am

50% an Extrovert and 41% Feeling and the 6% Sensing, but I just quite couldn’t believe that I

have even 6% of Judging in me because I just don’t feel like I can judge anything without first

perceiving it first. I am the type of person who is willing to give people a chance, even if I don’t

know them because it’s not right to judge a book by its cover.

Yellow was the color I received when I took the color code test, and I agree with it all the

way. Yellows are defined as charismatic, spontaneous, and positive; but can also be

irresponsible, obnoxious, and forgetful and that couldn’t be more correct about me. Anyone you

ask will tell you that I am a lovable person; that I am a person with a big heart for the whole

world.

The multiple intelligence test gave the top 3 on what my strengths were language,

musical, and logic/math. All of these felt like it was accurate because I love reading books,

listening to music and hearing/feeling the rhythm in it, and I enjoy doing a puzzle game as well

as games with mathematical concepts.

 The learning style test felt off for me only because it said I was 50% auditory learner, and

I just couldn’t figure that out due to the fact that I am half deaf and have had multiple hearing

problems since I can remember. I have always felt like when I watch someone do something that

I was obtaining more information than when they were trying to explain it. For this test, it was

the only test that I felt like I fully disagreed with

All of these have helped shown me how I could possibly approach the world of teaching.

With the learning style test I learned that there is more than one way people perceive information

as well how I may express those regions. With both the color code test and the ESFJ I learned

what I am personality wise and how I could possibly use this as a means to learn more about

myself. Overall, these tests were really helpful with learning more about myself and how I could

use everything I have obtained in the classroom.
