Assignment 3

http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html

My Myers-Briggs personality type test resulted in the four personality type letter of I, S, F, and P. The text concluded I was an introvert that understood by sensing, made choices by feeling, and perceived the outside world. I think I am an introvert for the most part but I do tend to act out first and then think about what I have done. However, I find as I get older I tend to think first before acting. I also completely agree with the sensing over intuitive category as I tend to use common sense to fix problems that are in the present era, but I do think sometimes on how to fix future problems before they even occur. Thinking critically on how to pre-emptively solve conflict is something I tend to do a lot of. I also like to know facts or details when I am 100% sure of them, if the information is not clear I will normally not attempt to answer a question or offer input to a conversation. I am not sure about the category that said I make choices based on feelings. I do tend to think of others thoughts and feelings when making decision but sometimes that is not always the case. The test said “disharmony was toxic” to me but I can handle conflict very well and often act as a mediator. The last category on how I perceive the outside world by perceiving instead of judging was something I was really not sure of, I do tend to move without a plan and make plans up as I go along, but I also like to have some sort of general plan in the back of my mind at all times. I feel I am very flexible to my environment and can adapt quickly to cope with it even though it may be against my wishes

The results for the learning styles test was harder to evaluate as it did not give an explanation for each style as the personality type test did. My styles scores were a 5 for visual, 11 social, 5 physical, 16 aural, 10 verbal, 12 solitary, and 5 logical. I knew my aural would be very high as I am prone to learning and listening to all auditory sounds. I use listening to help me because my eye-sight is not very good. This is proven as I got a 5 for visual. I did not agree with 11 for social because I got a 12 for solitary. However the more I think about it I am about the same as far as interaction with others and spending time on my own. I have a high verbal score of 10 which I believe is a result of constant history and English classes so I do agree with that.

It may be possible that you do equally well in solitary settings and in social groups.
