Personality Tests

Jung Typology Test
ENFJ: Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging
78% 62% 25% 67%

As an Idealist, I am described as being enthusiastic, authentic, giving, trusting, loving, and kindhearted, all traits that I would use to describe myself. Idealists are also supposed to make inspirational leaders, a description that I would like to have some day. I am naturally drawn to working with people, and I like to hold myself to a standard of personal integrity and kindness. I cherish my friendships and strive for personal growth, and I want to be able to help others achieve their goals as well. I believe that my description as an Idealist fits me.

As an Idealist Portrait of a Teacher, I am outgoing and expressive, and good with communicating with people. I don't hesitate to speak out let my feelings be known, and I have a lot of enthusiasm for my passions. I honor my commitments and I try not to be late. I identify with others easily, and I can read people well. I am also easy to get along with and tolerant of others. I agree with my classification as a Teacher.

Some of the careers listed for me are careers that I have considered. Psychology, education, politics, science, and being a physician.

Life Goals Test
Compared to other test-takers, I scored about the same on attractiveness, financial success, social recognition, and affiliation. I scored higher than other test-takers on community involvement, self-acceptance, and my value of intrinsic goals over extrinsic goals. I agree with my results for this test.

Attraction Test
I scored high on the Counter-Culture Dimension, which indicates that I prefer people who are rebellious and non-traditional. I also scored aboved average on the Seductiveness Dimension and teh Trendy Dimension. On the Cheerfulness and Intelligence Dimensions, I scored below average.

I would agree that I prefer people who are well-dressed, well-groomed, and rebellious. However, I don't believe that I take seductiveness into high account, or that cheerfulness and intelligence is unimportant for me. I believe that this test displays results for immediate attractiveness, rather than attractiveness for longer relationships.

Hogwarts Sorting Hat Test
Hufflepuff - 88/100
Gryffindor - 81/100
Ravenclaw - 78/100
Slytherin - 54/100

Hufflepuff students are described as friendly, fair-minded, and hard-working, traits that describe me. Gryffindor students are described as brave and daring, which also describes me. I agree with these tests.

Advanced Global Personality Test
This test gave me high extraversion results, moderately high orderliness results, and medium stability results. I agree with all three of these classifications because I am generally relaxed, calm, and optimistic and I like to keep things organized. I do enjoy talking and being outgoing. Some adjectives that were used to descrie me were expressive, positive, assertive, and leadership.

Personality Disorders

Dear Lilly,

College has been awful so far. I wish you were here with me. You told me to tell you about that food here. The food is great for a cafeteria, but I know the cashier has something against me. Twice now she's messed up my order and I'm afraid the next time I order mac and cheese she'll do something horrible like poison me or make the cheese too stretchy. My math professor is also being weird. When he taught the Pythagorean theorem to the class, instead of using a, b, and c as his variables in the equation, he used x, y, and z! I am sure that he is plotting something horrible. My roommate took my shoes away from where I took them off next to my bed and placed them inside my closet. She said that she was only trying to help me so I wouldn't trip over them, but I can't believe she would insult my sense of style like that. I really hope you don't tell anyone what I am writing to you about. And could you please discreetly try and find out if Ben is cheating on me with that new blonde girl he's working with? He mentioned her once, three weeks ago, as a new friend, and now I’m afraid he might like her more than me.

Love,
Maya
