1PERSONAL ASSESSMENT
The personality is one of the main human characteristics that differ one human being
from other. According to many researcher it is termed to be a set of characteristics which
relates to cognitions, behaviours along with the patterns of emotion which is generally
developed from the environmental and biological factors (Lewin, 2013). It is controversial to
state that there is a prescribed definition for personality but many critics also acknowledge it
on the basis of motivation and psychological interactions with the individual’s environment
(Fairbairn, 2013). Personality of one is also believed to be a key aspect in the prediction of
that individual’s behaviour (Rogers, 2013). The concept of personality is observed to be
significantly influenced by the habits and learning of an individual (Cervone & Pervin, 2015).
The paper is focused on assessing individual personality and the evaluation of how the
emotion is experienced. The paper also analyses two personality tests in summarizing the
important findings of my personality.
The Big 5 personality test generally depends on the OCEAN model of personality
analysis where the aspects of the evaluation are Open-mindedness, Conscientiousness,
Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Negative Emotionality ("The Big Five Project - Personality
Test", 2018).
The evaluation enabled me to assess my personality where I found that I score bit less
in the Open-Mindedness with a percentile score of 20. This acknowledges that my behaviour
and the human characteristics reflects that I am bit close minded in nature. I am bit
conventional where I usually feel limited when there is any sort of action needed to
acknowledge a change.
I score significantly low in the aspect conscientiousness with 10 and it describes that I
am significantly disorganized in terms of handling any situation. Along with this the low

score also specifies that I am significantly negligent in my nature with significant limitation
in acknowledging responsibility.
The extraversion score of 63 reflects that I am a sociable person who loves to make
friends and enjoy other’s company. Along with this, the score also reflects that I am fun
loving person and I do talk a lot.
My score in the agreeableness is 21 which specifies that I am bit rude and harsh in my
approach and I do not hesitate to express my irritation. This also describes my critical nature.
I score significantly high in the aspect of negative emotionality and it reflects that I
usually get significantly nervous. Along with this I worry a lot about the incidents I
experience and do have the feeling insecurity in my nature as well.
The Myer Briggs is also one of the reputed tool for the test of personality of human
beings. The result of the test generally lies in one of the 16 types where I belonged to the ISFJ
which is Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging ("Personality test based on C. Jung and I.
Briggs Myers type theory", 2018). The test results define that I generally belong to the group
which has the desire to serve others and likes the feeling of being needed. The general give
and take policy is not something that we relate a lot. We the ISFJs like to be working without
getting involved in any sort of political and moral controversy. We are usually unappreciated
for our work and there is a general tendency that people around us take us for granted. Apart
from this we generally do not believe in claiming rewards for our excellence in work even if
we deserved better as we consider that it is wrong to want a reward for doing the job. In the
general workplace we are significantly accurate and follow the proper method in operating.
We do have good analytical skills and sharp memory. We are incredibly good in smaller
group interactions because of our patience and sympathetic approach towards other while
interacting. This is instrumental in making pleasant and trust-worthy co-workers but we
