Reflecting on my personality type, I can absolutely recognize qualities that draw me to certain preferences including observant, feeling and judgement. I believe it is important for me to understand my own personality type in order to work with others. It is essential to know and understand own strength and weaknesses.
According to my sisters results from the test I had a very strong preference towards caring and sincerity. I think this is also true because I tend to care for my beloved ones and always there to help anyone who needs help . As an introvert, I prefer to think first and then act later. I don’t need much private time to feel balance within myself. I believe being an introvert is not that bad as well.

I also have a very strong preference for sensing because I use all my senses to determine what is real rather than imagination of what could be. I tend to live in the now and like using common sense to determine solutions rather than trying to look into the future. Another quality I have as a sensing preference is working better with having clear and concrete information. I have a strong preference toward feeling because I base decisions on more personal feelings rather than logics and objectives. I am sensitive others’ needs and don’t like conflict.
I have a strong preference for judgement because I need structure and organized rather than being spontaneous. I like to have plans and know what dates and deadlines are coming up rather than trying to figure things out last minute. I think this will help me in my future career. I also work best with encouragement and praise. My main interest is in things that directly and practically help people’s lives.
I completely understand why I got consul as my personality type because some of those qualities fits my personality. Most of these qualities have been positive but I know my personality has some negative qualities as well. I am a people pleaser and sensitive to other needs, which can be helpful, but can also be a drawback.
Overall, I am thankful I was able to take a look at my personality preferences and get a better understanding of who I am as an individual. I think it will helpful for my future career. There are strengths and negatives to all personality types and I feel as if I will be able boost my strengths and work on my weaknesses as needed. If we can all recognize our traits and notice our similarities and differences, it will be much easier to work.
Take the comparison between me and my sister test result it is clearly been seen that it’s not that different from mine but also not same as well. I think I am a mixture of both the personality and every personality holds some features.
Theories of Personality
Trait theory (Gordon Allport): it is also known as dispositional theory, is an approach to the study of human personality. Trait theorist are primarily interested in the measurement of traits, which can be defined as habitual patterns of behaviour, thought and emotion.
Psychological theory (Sigmund Freud): This theory explains human behaviour in terms of interaction of various components of personality. Freud divides human personality into three significant components:- id, ego and super ego. Freud believed that adult personality is dependent upon early childhood experiences and largely determined by age five.
Cognitive theory (Piaget): Cognitive theory is a theory of personality that emphasize cognitive processes, such as thinking and judging. In this theory child psychology is different from adult psychology.
Humanistic theory (Maslow): It focuses on subjective experiences of persons as opposed to forced, definitive factors that determine behaviour. Maslow believes all who are interested in growth move towards self-actualizing views.
Behavioural theory (Ivan Pavlov): It is the theory of learning based on the idea that all behaviours are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with environment. Behaviourists explain personality in terms of the effects external stimuli have on behaviour. Pavlov is well known for his classical conditioning experiments involving dogs, which led him discover the foundation of behaviourism.
