Today, fun little activity, you will take a few personality tests online and then we will evaluate the results. Remember, these are self-reporting tests, not projective tests – we might anecdotally do some of the projective tests in pairs in class, so be ready to discuss the differences in the two formats. ALSO = be prepared to discuss the Barnum Effect that might happen with these self-reporting tests. (Some are valid…others might fall under Barnum…be ready to figure that out and why.)
Teake each test – read the analysis of your results. Slow down and think about it.
WORK DUE – For each of the tests below – in a Google Doc – put the name of the test, then a statement of your results, a synopsis of what it states about your personality, and whether or not this is accurate or not in your own summation of your personality. — Do this in a GOOGLE DOC and share it with me middletonpsych@gmail.com – Title the Doc: BLOCK, YOUR NAME,PERSONALITY TEST. Example: Block 1, Sherri Middleton, Personality Test (Also, print the doc and bring it to class tomorrow.)

Google your Meyers Briggs indicator. I am INTP and sometimes ENTP – my I and E are always right together. Interestingly enough, I got the same results on the real Meyers Briggs test in college and have always tested this type on all the free ones since. So – Google your type and read about it. Wikipedia will tell you quite bit about it and what percent of the population has your type…famous people that share it… all the highlights.
“I ain’t got no type” … yeah ya do, killa! 😉 Research it.
In the comment section below, Put your four letter Meyers Briggs type indicator and whether or not this fits your self concept with an EXAMPLE and EXPLANATION of why or why not. One brief paragraph. 🙂
