Part I - Tests // Directions: Visit the following web site and fill out the survey to find out your personality type: // [|**http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp**]

Answer the survey online and submit it to find out your personality type. When taking the survey, it is best not to dwell on the questions but to follow your first instinct. Answer the following questions.  1) What is your personality type? What does each letter mean? List the strengths of each of your preferences. Your Type is  **ENFJ ** Extraverted- 22%, Intuitive- 50%, Feeling- 38%, Judging- 1%

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are: slightly expressed extravert moderately expressed intuitive personality moderately expressed feeling personality slightly expressed judging personality

 2) Click on the two type descriptions for your personality and read them. Print out __one__ of the personality summaries. Name 2 or 3 parts of your personality summary that stand out in your mind. Why are these parts most important to you? Two of the parts of my personality summary are that ENFJs are organized, decisive, and have thinner psychological boundaries. These parts are most important to me, because I strongly agree with two of them and strongly disagree with another. I believe that I'm organized and decisive. I feel like these two traits are very accurate, but I don't agree with the idea that I have thinner psychological boundaries. I don't think that I am more at risk of being abused by others. I don't agree at all.

 3) Is your personality assessment accurate? Why or why not? I don't agree with my personality assessment. I don't think that this test can tell me what my personality is. It's only asking me a few questions. I don't think that just answering questions can accurately describe me.

 4) Which statements in the personality summary do you disagree with? I don't agree with the idea that I have thinner psychological boundaries. I don't think that I am more at risk of being abused by others. I don't agree at all. I think that trait makes me sound like I'm weaker than most. I definitely don't agree with this. I think I can hold my own and I have thick skin. The personality test doesn't seem to think so.

I agree with the fact that I am organized and decisive. I get told all the time that everything I do is very organized. My room, my papers, and even my binders are always very organized. I also think I am very decisive. When I make a decision, I stick with it. I don't waffle back and forth. I am a very decisive guy.

Exchange personality summaries. Below, write your partner’s name and personality type. Do you think that your partner’s summary is accurate? Why or why not? Philip's personality is ISFJ. I don't agree, because Philip is not that judging. I don't think that the assessment gives an accurate description of him.

Here is another example of a popular personality test, the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. Y ou have to provide an email address to get your results. http://www.keirsey.com/sorter/register.aspx

**Artisans** are the temperament with a natural ability to excel in any of the arts, not only the fine arts such as painting and sculpting, or the performing arts such as music, theater, and dance, but also the athletic, military, political, mechanical, and industrial arts, as well as the "art of the deal" in business. Artisans are most at home in the real world of solid objects that can be made and manipulated, and of real-life events that can be experienced in the here and now. Artisans have exceptionally keen senses, and love working with their hands. They seem right at home with tools, instruments, and vehicles of all kinds, and their actions are usually aimed at getting them where they want to go, and as quickly as possible. Thus Artisans will strike off boldly down roads that others might consider risky or impossible, doing whatever it takes, rules or no rules, to accomplish their goals. This devil-may-care attitude also gives the Artisans a winning way with people, and they are often irresistibly charming with family, friends, and co-workers. Artisans want to be where the action is; they seek out adventure and show a constant hunger for pleasure and stimulation. They believe that variety is the spice of life, and that doing things that aren't fun or exciting is a waste of time. Artisans are impulsive, adaptable, competitive, and believe the next throw of the dice will be the lucky one. They can also be generous to a fault, always ready to share with their friends from the bounty of life. Above all, Artisans need to be free to do what they wish, when they wish. They resist being tied or bound or confined or obligated; they would rather not wait, or save, or store, or live for tomorrow. In the Artisan view, today must be enjoyed, for tomorrow may never come. There are many Artisans, perhaps 30 to 35 percent of the population, which is good, because they create much of the beauty, grace, fun, and excitement the rest of us enjoy in life.

8). What were your results? How do they compare to the previous test? For my results, I got Artisan. This compared pretty well to the last test. Basically they are both telling me that I like to socialize and like to have fun. If I was not doing something exciting, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I'm someone who needs to be having a good time.

Part III - Unconscious Tests One of Freud's major contributions to the field of psychology was his study of the unconscious. People often do not say what is on their mind, either because they are unwilling or because they are unable to do so. You will explore this theory in a series of tests at the Project Implicit site run by Harvard. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/

Click on "Demonstration." read the IAT Home page, then click on the "go to demonstration tests" link at the bottom. Read then Preliminary Information and then click on "I wish to proceed." You may chose any of the sample tests.

1). Which test did you try? Why did you pick this one? I picked the Presidential test. I picked that one, because it looked like it could be interesting. It looked more appealing than most of the other tests. 2). What were your results? Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Thomas Jefferson compared to Barack Obama. 3). Explain your reactions to this test. What does this say about your unconscious? I agree with these results. It says that my unconscious mind prefers Thomas Jefferfson to Barack Obama. I agree. I definitely agree with these results.
