Personality Type Tests
The classic, generic, Type A or Type B personality type tests are the most famous and popular style of tests available. These basic tests ask a series of questions to determine if you have a fast paced, or slower paced personality. These tests will refer to you either as having a Type A, or a Type B personality after a series of typically less than fifty questions. A Type A personality means that you are a fast-paced individual who is always on the run. You are considered by some to be a stressful person, who does not accept failure easily, and expects the most in others. A Type B personality is exactly the opposite of a Type A personality. Instead of being fast-paced or stressful, you are instead more reserved and calm. People with a Type B personality are not easily bothered by small problems in life, whereas Type A personalities are easily agitated. Another classic example of personality type tests is the Rorschach inkblot test. This test was first introduced in 1921, and has been in popular use ever since. In this test, you are presented with 10 images of random inkblots. You are then asked what these random inkblots appear to look like to you. There are officially 5 black inkblots, two that consist of black and red ink on white paper, and the last three are multicolored. During this test when you are asked what these inkblots look like, the person giving the test will write down everything that you say, no matter how trivial. After the quick test, the results are then determined by a professional, such as s psychologist. The Meyer-Briggs Type Indicator is an example of one of the more standardized personality type tests. In this test, there are a resulting 16 different personality types that you might be, based on your responses to the test questions. The Meyer-Briggs Type Indicator is a nationally recognized personality type test that is extremely accurate, consisting of 93 total questions. These questions are mostly about everyday life, and how you would react in a given situation. Although the Meyer Briggs test is one of the longest and most detailed personality type tests in existence, it's results are considered to be the best in the industry, surpassing even that of the Rorschach test. No matter which personality test you may be taking, the point for taking personality type tests is to relax and have fun. Try to be truthful on these tests, because there is no point in faking answers, or trying to be someone that you are not. We are not all the same, and personality type tests help us to understand each other.
