Assignment 2

REFLECTION / INSIGHT ABOUT THE PERSONALITY TRAITS TEST

Our professor has given us an assignment or shall we say a reflection or insight about the personality trait test that we have been taken and answered it through the internet. He said that we construct a two thousand (2000) words about the personal traits test we have taken, but unfortunately I don’t know to start this two thousand words of my insight or reflection about the personality traits, but I’ll try my very best to make it and submit before the schedule.

So here it goes……

When I hear the word personality traits one thing that comes up in my mind is that, what is a personality trait? For me when we say personality traits it implies to your personality on how you deal or communicate other people through your emotional traits, intellectual traits and etc. In order to be a good technopreneur one thing you have in yourself is to have a good personality trait to your client or customers, so that you can easily get their trust if you have these good personality traits.

First we define what is personality traits test all about? As a result of my searching through the use of internet I found so many definitions of it, one of the definitions of it is “PERSONALITY TRAITS TEST is any of the categories of psychological tests designed to test the characteristics of the personality, emotional status, mental disorder, etc., in contrast to an intelligence test.” – http://mondofacto.com Other definition of personality traits test is “any test that is intended to assess personality.” – http://audioenglish.net/dictionary/personality_assessment


“Personality usually refers to that, which is unique about a person, the characteristics that distinguish him or her from other people. Thought, emotion, and behavior as such do not constitute a personality, which is, rather, the dispositions that underlie these elements. Personality implies predictability about how a person will act or react under different circumstances.” - Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2008. © 1993-2007

So based on the definition of what is personality trait test is all about, it is all about your personality on how you communicate other. A word “personality” means a typical way of feeling, thinking and pattern of behavior that makes a person unique from others. If someone says that he is having a “good personality” it surely means that he is having a likeable, interesting and a pleasant character. Every one of us wishes to have such type of personality since the benefits of having a good personality is more than the benefits of having good looks. Listed below are the few ways telling as how to improve our personality.

1. Become a goodlistener .It makes a person to feel better when you look them with a great attitude of listening and learning from their words, it could be even more nice if you show more interest in knowing what they speak and when you hang on these words.

2. Reading new things that widen your area of interest . Helps you to know many unknown facts of life, also provides you wide opportunities to develop yourself and to exchange your thought and views with others.

3. Good Knowledge . This builds up confidence in you and also as a result, people who speak with you will be having a good image of yours. Be a good conversationalist always.

As what have been said by our professor, in order for you to answer the personality traits test you must be calm and answered it through a peaceful place, but I answered the Personality Traits test in an internet café. As I have answered the personality trait test through the internet, I found it that it is not that difficult to answer because all of the questions are all situational and can be answerable through the senses of an individual personality. When I finished answered the entire question, it reflects there the result of my personality traits test – report. And under of the Personality test – report it shows there the five report.

1. Neuroticism
2. Extraversion
3. Openness to experience
4. Agreeableness
5. Conscientiousness

The first report of my personality trait test is the Neuroticism, and its overall score is 33%. And it explains to me that “You are generally calm, although some situations can make you feel anxious or tense. You do not usually get angry too easily but some things can annoy you. You very rarely feel depressed and are usually in a good frame of mind. You are not generally self conscious about yourself. You do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find yourself tempted to overindulge. High levels of stress can lead to you feeling panic or confusion, but usually you cope with day to day pressures.” In this explanation, it truly reflects to my own personality of being neuroticism.

The second report of my personality trait test is the extraversion which means the interest in and involvement with people and things outside the self, and its overall score is 39%. And it explains to me that” You generally make friends easily enough although you mostly don't go out of your way to demonstrate positive feelings toward others. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. You are an active group participant but usually prefer to let someone else be the group leader. You lead a leisurely and relaxed life. You would prefer to sit back and smell the roses than indulge in high energy activities. You get overwhelmed by too much noise and commotion and do not like thrill-seeking activities. You have a generally cheerful disposition.” In this explanation also, it is truly reflects my own personality of being an extraversion.

The third report of my personality trait test is the Openness to experience, and its overall score is 23%. And it explains to me that” You prefer facts over fantasy and are more interested in what is happening in the real word. You are not interested in the arts and do not display aesthetic sensitivity. Generally you are not considered to be an emotional person; however you are aware of and in touch with your emotions. You are eager to try new activities, travel to foreign lands, and experience different things. You find familiarity and routine boring, and will take a new route home just because it is different. You prefer dealing with other people or things rather than ideas. You regard intellectual exercises as a waste of your time. You like the security of tradition, but sometimes have a desire to bend the rules and challenge conventional thinking.”

The fourth report of my personality trait test is the Agreeableness which means that willing to consent or consider something and its overall score is 40%. And it explains to me that” You mostly assume that people are honest and fair, however you are wary and hold back from trusting people completely. There are times when you believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary; however you are mostly candid, frank and sincere. People find it moderately easy to relate to you. You will help others if they are in need. If people ask for too much of your time you feel that they are imposing on you. You are not adverse to confrontation and will sometimes even intimidate others to get your own way. You feel superior to those around you and sometimes tend to be seen as arrogant by other people. You are mostly a compassionate person; however you prefer to make objective judgments when possible.”

And the last report of my personality trait test is the Conscientiousness which means that governed by or done according to somebody’s sense of right or wrong and its overall score is 74%. And it explains to me that” You are moderately confident that you can achieve the goals you set yourself. You are well-organized and like to live according to routines and schedules. Often you will keep lists and make plans. You find contracts, rules, and regulations overly confining and are sometimes seen as unreliable or even irresponsible by others. You strive hard to achieve excellence. Your drive to be recognized as successful keeps you on track toward your lofty goals. You often have a strong sense of direction in life, but may sometimes be too single-minded and obsessed with your work. You have strong will-power and are able to overcome your reluctance to begin tasks. You are able to stay on track despite distractions. You take your time when making decisions and will deliberate on all the possible consequences and alternatives.”

Above the Personality traits test – report, for me I think the first and second report will fit my own personality which is being neuroticism and being an extraversion.

After taking the personality traits test, I found that in relation to the Technopreneurship, I think a Personality trait is also one of a very important factor to be good technopreneur. Because once you have this kind of mind-set of being a technopreneur, without doubt you will easily trusted by your clients or customer, and you will have a successful life.

My reflection or insight after taking the personality traits test is that, I found that taking up this PT or Personal Traits test is like a taking an examination where you answer each of the question through focusing your mind and be in yourself. As I have mentioned above what is personality traits test all about, it assess your personality, and truly personality gives a very important role especially in Technopreneurship. Why? , Because having a good personality in a business or in a Technopreneurship will lead you to a result of being successfully and competitive in your selected field. It is important for a technopreneur to develop these personal traits because each trait has collaboration for the success or achieving your goals and purposes of having a business. Being a good leader should let somebody see those traits you possess on how you handle or managed your own venture or business. By taking up this Personal Traits test, I am able to be aware on my personality skill, on how I answered or being reacts on each situation given in the PT test. Seeing me having a good personality is being a perfect person. For me the only thing that is important is to be staying true and be real on your own personality or character.
