Personality Test



So I finally got my PSAT back! I didn't do that well on the math (most of it I hadn't learned,) but I did alright on everything else. With my result information, I was told to go to a certain www.collegeboard.com/quickstart to register myself for future help for college and practice tests. While I was searching the site, my dad told me to take a personality quiz on the website. The test is supposed to describe me, and tell me what kind of things I should be looking for in my future profession. It was a really scary, and extremely long personality quiz that was nearly 200 questions. The scariest part was the result... I never thought that I would hear anybody describe me so accurately and well as the personality quiz did! Take a look at my results! If you don't really know me that well, I think you will learn a lot about me from this. And if you do know me well already, this might tell you a lot more about me that you didn't know.

According to this test, I'm similar to a startling 5% personality-wise compared to the rest of our planet. 5% which is a shockingly small percentage compared to the rest of the percentages. They call my personality type ENFZ (which stands for Extroverting, Intuiting, Feeling, Organizing.) In their even simpler words, "The Communicator."

"ENFZs are social, compassionate, and creative. As an ENFZ you take an organized approach to helping others overcome their problems. In fact, you prefer structure and predictability in all your activities. You are particularly concerned with expressing and living up to your personal beliefs and values, and you tend to understand the world in emotional terms. Your attention is most often focused on improving conditions around you. In that regard, you strive for harmony within yourself and peaceful coexistence with others. You value personal growth, authenticity of expression, and loyalty to others.

You like to talk things over with friends and family members, but when you sense potential conflict, you tend to change the subject in order to avoid unpleasant interaction. You care a lot about what people think of you and try to please others through deeds and actions; likewise, you have a deep concern for the welfare of others and enjoy talking with and helping them whenever possible. You make friends easily and quickly share your feelings, opinions, and ideas. Your openness enables you to establish deep and lasting friendships.

Your greatest task is to find a fulfilling path, and once identified you will pursue it to the end. You have an abundance of energy and enthusiasm for your vision, but little patience with those who don't share or support your goals. You excel at communicating ideas verbally, which facilitates your capacity to get along with many different types of people. Your attention is drawn to a broad range of interests and activities: you love to study and learn and can find value in almost any topic although intellectual, theoretical, and spiritual subjects interest you the most.

ENFZs are often found in career fields where they can forge meaningful relationships with people and generate creative solutions that make the world a better place in which to live. As an ENFZ you will be most satisfied and productive when you're involved in work that allows you to work on projects and tasks with other people you like and trust. You are most interested in jobs that allow you to achieve your personal mission."
