Many in psychology believe there are five primary personality traits. Learn about the "Big 5" personality traits, as well as what it means to be high or low in each.
The Big Five personality traits are five broad dimensions of personality, often remembered with the acronym OCEAN: Openness (to experience), Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism (emotional instability).
I noticed that some personality tests are going around on facebook lately, at least around my circle of friends. Those tests typically confirm what you already know, but I couldn't resist taking them. Why? Well, I've been trying to figure out the true design of who I am and what makes me come alive (you can read about it here and here). So, I'm open to anything that gives me insight on that matter. You'll never know. Those test results might surprise you in a way you never expected. This is the first test I took: What career should you actually have? image via Buzz Feed And the test result says, Interesting. I'm not sure if I am an architect type of person, but there's some truth to it: I am a creative being and as long as I get to create something, I am happy. And oh, just so you know, I also have a perfect artist's temperament (expressive and explosive). Now, do you want to be my friend? And this is the second test I took: What door would you walk through? Connection To Creative I'm not going to tell you which door I chose, just in case you are going to take this test. But based on the door I chose, this is what they say. It is obvious you are a quirky individual and very interesting to the people that you let into your life. You are good at many things... a “Jack or Jill of all trades”. You are an artistic individual that expresses yourself in many ways. You can make something out of anything and are not a stranger to your local thrift shop. You can basically make vintage “new” again. It is easy to get stuck inside the house or inside your urban bubble; but remember that you have to get out and connect with nature. It is time to come down out of the clouds and get grounded! How do they know I am a "Jack of all trades," not stranger to my local thrift shop, prone to get stuck inside of my little bubble? I guess it's about time for me to get out of that bubble and connect with outside world. I'd have to say this test result is more accurate than I expected. At least it was for me. Last but not least, I took this famous personality test, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), from this book: Do What You Are by Tieger & Barron-Tieger You can take a free online MBTI test here. Do What You Are One of the major factors you have to decide is if you are Extraverted (action oriented) or Introverted (thought oriented). Now this was a tricky one for me and I honestly could not decide which one I am. I think I am more thought oriented, which is an Introvert. But according to the test, I qualify more as an Extravert. Let's take a look: Extraverts: Introverts: Are energized by being with other people Yes Are energized by spending time alone Yes Like being the center of attention Absolutely avoid being the center of attention No Act, then think No Think, then act Yes Tend to think out loud 100% Yes Think things through inside their heads Yes Are easier to "read" and know; share personal information freely Depends Are more private, prefer to share personal information with a select few Depends Talk more than listen Yes, and I'm not proud of it Listen more than talk No Communicate with enthusiasm Yes Keep their enthusiasm to themselves No Respond quickly; enjoy a fast pace Yes Respond after taking the time to think things through, enjoy a slower pace No Prefer breath to depth No Prefer depth to breath Yes I tend to think out loud, and talking with others helps me clarify my thoughts. Interacting with like minded people gets my creative juice going and gives me the inspiration and ideas I need. But, I'm also a deep thinker, and I need plenty of alone time to indulge that part of myself. The quiet time alone helps me reflect on the ideas I get from interacting with others, and I prefer working by myself when I am actually creating something. And yes, I am an attention hoarder. I am enthusiastic. I talk fast, loud, and respond quickly. Which am I? I think I am both of them. I think I am a deep, quiet thinking Introvert with some strong Extravert qualities. So I decided I am a cross between ENFP and INFP. ENFP: image via CPP, Inc INFP: image via CPP, Inc Personality facts by The Sixteen Types And here are some occupations from these personality types that I can resonate with. Occupation Personality Type Newscaster ENFP Documentary filmmaker Television producer Interior designer ENFP & INFP Artist Researcher INFP Clinical Psychologist The top three are the type of jobs I wanted to get right out of college while I was still in Japan. The bottom two reflect my former life before motherhood (I was in the field of early childhood developmental research). Interior design and art is something I am currently interested in pursuing. It's fascinating to see how my job preferences have transitioned from ENFP to INFP to ENFP/INFP in the different stages of life. I think my ideal is to have my own studio where I can focus on creative tasks alone (INFP), while I have plenty of opportunities to mingle with like minded folks for inspiration, bouncing ideas, and organizing my thoughts (ENFP). How can I satisfy attention seeking side of myself? I have no idea. I will figure that out as my life unfolds. In the meantime, hand me that microphone and don't even think about taking it away from me! Which personality type are you? Do you find taking personality tests helpful?
