HW 54 - Similar Minds Thinking Test analysis

ESTJ - "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population.
Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI)

This test is supposed to define a person for the personality they portray. Out of 48 questions, maybe 20+ i answered the 50% mark. So that answer right there can go both ways, whether i slant more towards very much disagree or very much agree with. The results could lead to any direction if thats so. It even states that in order to see your alternative personality results, to simply refresh the page. That's just dumb to me. One final result would have made me feel more comfortable than two.

For 48 questions i sort of breezed through answering them. They were pretty simple. But i dont know if 48 simple questions can help define a person better than 48 hard questions. Truthfully, i dont think these results were so accurate. Because one time i took a free presonality test from Chase Bank, and they used the same rubric, only they're questions were compiled of only 5. After five questions, it labeled me as a "ENTP." the results explained alot more on that one. Coincidentally, i also received a ENTP on this one, but as my first results, the ones posted show the 'alternative'. I dont think this was useful because if a test with only five questions can give me the same results, is it worth it taking 43 extra questions? the answers no.

I think this test is more to infer you on what kind of career you should look into. Naturally, adults never love their job. But they have to do it day in and day out. Im guessing this test is just to help someone pursue their dream-job. In class we been discussing alot about interpersonal relationships. Any relationship you can think of. But we been discussing the outer shell of it, like how we interact with our everyday mailmen or MTA workers or teachers or sanitation workers. The difference from how we act with teachers to mailmen is very different because for starters, teachers know us by a first-name basis. Mailmen only deliver their mail, to several people in an apartment building, this isnt the movies where the mailman is very friendly and knows everyone that is on their route. For us to not speak to them means we will be less open and share alot less than with teachers/friends/families. Also it all depends on your social level etc. i guess thats where this "personality test" comes in.
