Personality Test Report - Psychology Module, University Name

The assignment is a personality test report analyzing the student's personality traits. The student discusses their extroverted nature and contrasts their intuition scores. The report explores the limitations of personality tests, including time constraints and the potential for inaccurate self-reporting. The report references Kline (2015) and Soto & John (2018) to discuss the modifiability of personality traits, the influence of genetics and environment, and the challenges of conclusive research in this area. The report also addresses the role of goal setting and the potential for modifying behavioral patterns to affect personality. The report is a valuable resource for psychology students and anyone interested in personality assessment.

1PERSONALITY TEST
The report has been partially true I am an extrovert with very good communication skills. I
like talking and interacting with people
The second value is wrong with 3% score stating I have marginal or provide no referencing
of sensing over intuition. I never rely on my intuition and rather like to rationalise different
situations.
The third one is somewhat wrong. I am quite emotional and consider both thinking and my
feelings to help me reach to a solution
Individuals can undertake personality tests to identify the negative parts of their
personality and try to set goals for themselves to overcome them (Kline, 2015). They can
realise their weak points and strong points, accordingly polish their strengths, and work on
their weakness traits to achieve success. Disadvantages are that such tests are time taking and
they do not ensure that the individual is aware of all his traits and might not incorporate
correct information in the test. Providing false answers might result in “fake good” result that
affects the entire motive of personality tests.

2PERSONALITY TEST
There is a persistent belief that underlying personalities are impervious towards
alteration and modification. Again, in the present generation, many individuals set goals and
thereby work hard to tackle their potentially problematic traits (Soto & John, 2018). Again, to
this, other researchers have stated that altering the behavioural patterns, beliefs and habits
that lie under the surface of that of the broader traits can be one of the ways of altering
personality (Kline, 2015). Again, many believe that a mixture of two forces likes genetics and
environment determines the personality of individuals. Hence, coming to a conclusion is
difficult and more researches are required on it.
