It's Michelle...I really can't remember my password! :) I have taken many personality tests and they always come out pretty accurately. Funny how that works. I took my first IQ test and surprisingly did better than I thought I would. Not too shabby. I wonder if that's even accurate. These are always fun to do though.
Michelle again...2 things I learned about myself was that I am smarter than I thought (haha) and well...I guess that's the only thing I learned about myself. I knew everything else. :)
I think some parts of my personality test were pretty accurate and hit right on whereas other parts were kind of general and seemed a bit vague. I learned that I have an imperative need for affection and that I'm overly uncertain about things. I already knew that I escape into a substitute world, like television/movies, to get away from whatever ails me.
I have done many of these sort of tests before. However this time in actually going out to search for them, I found it incredibly hard to find any that didnt actually need to be paid for, despite being under 'free test.' Also many wanted phone info, and last name so it took a while to surpass these ones. But overall I would say they are fairly accurate. My answers always tend to be very mixed and I have difficulty in choosing answers as I see both options (tense or easy going?, organized or messy) So with my answers as well as results I feel they could follow me correctly, but not all of me and not always. Some of the IQ ones varied in methods of grading, but came up fairly equal. They also stayed true to IQ tests I had to take in my early years of schooling, so I suppose they were pretty accurate despite the varied methods of testing.
I found it VERY surprising that some of the comments that the results mentioned were actually accurate. I feel they are right because I have been told the same things by my friends and family. How do they do it? I have no idea. I wonder how they can come up with such accurate results. I wonder if my classmates test results were accurate for them as well. Taking the career test I learned that I am a “trustee”, I am pursuing an engineering degree and that field came up as one I could be good at. Another thing I learned is that these quizzes actually exist; you can bet I will be sharing them with people I know and see what they think about the results.
I took a personality test based on color. www.colorquiz.com. It seemed to know who I am and where I am coming from. The answers were what I think of myself and how I feel. I learned that I have some fears to overcome and I say that because the test basically spelled out exactly how I feel about my life. I don't have another item but I wonder whether how I view my life is holding me back from achieving greater things.
Ijah Harris..
I believe these test can be useful in helping one "find them self" or pointing one in a particular professional field. The tests I took were fairly accurate but at times seemed vague, and in some cases I had a hard time choosing an answer because none were completing accurate. My results were not surprising but rather more reinforcing.
ITs Ijah...
I forgot to mention the two things I learned about myself, one thing I learned is that I do not have the patience for these types of tests, another thing I learned is that I am more motivated to do thing based on the percieved results. I wonder what my results will be if I take the same test again in ten years.
Katie here ... I found these tests very intresting. They did show my strong points as well as my weaknesses. I did better then I thought I would.
