Personality Type Tests

1. On a piece of paper, on a Word Doc, or in the comments section of this post, answer the following questions: a) What do you know about your personality, either how you view yourself or what others have said about you?  b) Has your personality changed over the years?  c) Is your personality different from place to place (i.e. in school, with friends, with family, etc.) d) Is there anything about your personality you wish were different or you wish to work on?

2. Choose two of the personality test below and complete them,* taking as much time as you need.

3. Do some more investigation of your type (see links in each personality test below, do your own research online, or ask Rachel for a book on the test you took) What do you think was accurate about the test? What do you think was not accurate?

4. Using the same method you used in question 1 (paper, Word Doc, etc), and take some time to reflect on the results for each test you take.  What did you learn about yourself that you didn't know at the beginning of this test? What do you think will be useful in your future jobs, career, or college work?
