First Post- Personality Indicators

As instructed, I took 2 different kinds of personality indicator quizzes; "The Big 5" (which I have taken in the past) and "16 Personalities".

As far as the big 5, I really wasn't sure if I agreed with the results I got. Actually, I felt that a lot of them were quite the opposite of what I would have said about myself. Below are the results that a received. Unfortunately, I would have said I am more nervous and high strung than I am calm and relaxed. I know it's not the best trait to have, but it's the truth. I would also like to think that in general, i'm more open to new experiences than this quiz said I am.


Although I wasn't so sure of the validity of the big 5, i thought that the 16 personalities quiz was pretty accurate. It decided that i was "CONSUL PERSONALITY (ESFJ, -A/-T)". "People who share the Consul personality type are, for lack of a better word, popular – which makes sense, given that it is also a very common personality type, making up twelve percent of the population. In high school, Consuls are the cheerleaders and the quarterbacks, setting the tone, taking the spotlight and leading their teams forward to victory and fame. Later in life, Consuls continue to enjoy supporting their friends and loved ones, organizing social gatherings and doing their best to make sure everyone is happy." This was almost a complete 180 from the results I got with the previous test, but I found these to be much more accurate about what I see in myself.
