Discussion Questions:
My experience answering the twenty-statement test was both fulfilling and frustrating. It
was fulfilling because it gave me the awareness that I am this kind of person, and it gave
me time to know what kind of person I am. It was frustrating because I did not know
myself enough to answer that twenty-statement test easily.
2. Was it easy or difficult to answer? Why?
As someone who answered the twenty-statement test, it was difficult. It was due
to that fact that I had a hard time thinking about what kind of person I am to
accomplish the "I am" statement. It was difficult because I really did not know what
I enjoyed doing and what I did not enjoy doing. I had to think critically about my
personality to complete the twenty-statement test.
My responses were spontaneous. It was voluntary act that was done with a natural feeling.
It enabled me to freely respond to the twenty-statement test.
Yes, I do really think first before answering. Just like how I answered the previous
question. I really did know myself well enough to answer the twenty-statement
test, to the point that I really had to think thoroughly about my personality just to
provide 20 answers.
How do I feel about my answers? In all honesty, it made me feel at ease but also
downcast. The fact that I can do a lot of things that I just assumed I couldn't do
gave me comfort. I felt melancholy because it made me feel like I had no idea
about my own personality.
