Personality is defined as the organized pattern of behavioral characteristics of the individual, according to www.dictionary.com. I recently took two different personality tests. I have to admit that I was very impressed with the results. The first test I took determined whether I was choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic or melancholic. I had ten descriptions for each category. I totaled seven in the D/Commanding Choleric section, four in the I/Cheerful Sanguine section, five in the S/Calm Flegmatic section, and eight in the C/Clever Melancholy section. This means that I am primarily melancholy and secondarily angry. My understanding of the word Melancholy is that I am sensitive and introverted, meaning I prefer to be alone and am not extroverted. This is exactly how I considered myself. I feel like other people can't be trusted sometimes and other times I just feel like it's more stressful for me to talk to other people so I keep them things for me most of the time. I also pay close attention to details when completing a task. I'm more of a perfectionist. When things aren't perfect the way I want them to be, that's a problem for me. I am also goal-oriented. I set a goal for myself and I don't let anything stop me from achieving that goal. I may have had a difficult time trying to achieve this goal, but I always come out on top. Now, my understanding of the word Choleric is that it is sort of the same as Melancholy, but it still has its differences. When I say that I am short-tempered, it means that I am determined, domineering and outspoken. Basically, it's my way or the highway. I want everything done my way, at the pace I set, which is usually right at that particular time. My basic desire, according to the test...... middle of paper ......of because I don't show any emotion and that could cause me to lose clients. I did not agree with some of my results. For example, when I searched for my personality type on www.16personalities.com, it said that I was patient and had the ability to concentrate. I am very impatient and am easily distracted, especially when I am stressed. Beyond these two descriptions, I think these tests really helped me better understand my personality. I hope to change a few things about myself in the future. I want to be more caring and open to people. I don't want to give bad impressions to anyone anymore. I think if I started trusting people more, my personality would change a lot. Overall, I really enjoyed both of these tests. I hope to take more time to do additional research on my personality, just to see if anything changes over time..
