Personality Tests!

Jung Typology Test:
In this test, I answered yes/no to several statements and found out that ... I am an ISTJ personality; this means that I a have a very introvert, slightly sensing, and moderatley thinking and judging personality. I think this test is pretty valid; I find myself to be pretty introvert, and it also says, as an inspector, I am superdependable - I'm happy about that. I don't think the career choices were valid though, I don't really want to be dentist, repair, or military person.

Are you racist test?
      In this test, I had to place pictures or words in right or left categories. "Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for European American compared to African American." I guess I am a little racist even though I try not to be; this makes me a little sad. I don't think this test is valid, though because I am sure that all of us have a little racism in us due to past experiences or from what we've been told through family or entertainment sources. I don't think you can label someone as racist just through grouping items.
       
      EQ Test (emotional intelligence test)
      I rated several emotional? statemets and scored a 42 on the test. I'm not quite sure what this means, but in the information section it seems pretty accurate: sensitive to others' emotions, fixed on getting the job done, needs to work on self-emotions. I think this test is valid, but it could be even more valid if it had more questions. I guess I need to go work on my sensitivity!
 
      Hogwarts Sorting Quiz =D
      In this quiz, I rated several statements on a scale of 1-9 based on my characterisics.  I was put in Hufflepuff; the next choices in order were Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and then Gryffindor. I was very surprised at this: I thought I would be in Ravenclaw or Syltherin (they were my second and third places though!) yay! Cedric was in this house, and he's cool. I'm not quite sure with the validity of this test because it seems like everyone would try to come out as a Hufflepuff: friendly, fair-minded, modest, and hardworking and not rate themselves correctly.


      My Life Goals: 
      In this quiz, I had to rate certain statements on a scale, and agree/disagree with certain statements. My answers were divided into six categories: Financial Success, Social Recognition, Attractiveness, Affiliation, Community Involvment, and Self-Acceptance which were divdided into intrinsic and extrinsic categories. My results seemed about right: I value financial success, afflilation, community involvment, and self-acceptance whereas I don't really prioritize social recognition and attractiveness. I was surprised to see that I prioritze intrinsic values over extrinsic values though. This test seems valid because it asked a wide variety of questions and the results seem pretty accurate.

  1. Great job on this weeks blog! Us Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs should stick together against those awful Slytherins and snooty Ravenclaws. Lol. AS for your results on the racism test, i guess it is understandable how you prefer 'European Americans' over African Americans. America is predominantly 'white' so its okay to like white people more. Did that make sense?

    And is the 42 on your EQ test out of 100 or 50?

    Overall, 10 out of 10! (:

    I wonder what that EQ number really means. I still don't know what EQ is even after we looked up what it was. Sad huh?
