Personality Test

In our recent class we had to find our personality through a simple but cleverly created personality finding website (sort of), where you had to fill in the answer of some questions that you were asked and at the end your personality would be calculated. Here are some of the things that were said about my personality.

Note: The things below is the copy of the things written in the website i.e. www.41q.com.

Your personality type: "Reliable Realist"

Serious and quiet, interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely thorough, responsible and dependable. Well-developed powers of concentration. Usually interested in supporting and promoting traditions and establishments. Well-organized and hard working, they work steadily towards identified goals. They can usually accomplish any task once they have set their mind to it.

Careers that could fit you include:

Business executives, administrators and managers, accountants, police, detectives, judges, lawyers, medical doctors, dentists, computer programmers, systems analysts, computer specialists, auditors, electricians, math teachers, mechanical engineers, steelworkers, technicians.

Defines where you direct your energy. Extroversion indicates outwards towards the world, and Introversion indicates a tendency inwards towards your thoughts and ideas.

Defines how you process information. Do you prefer information through your five senses (Sensing) or do you prefer to trust your hunches and read between the lines? (Intuitive)

Defines how you make decisions. Do you prefer logical analysis (Thinking), or contemplating about how each option affects people? (Feeling)

Defines how you order your life. Do you prefer asking plans and keeping to schedules (Judging), or do you keep things open? (Perceiving)

Renowned persons with similar personality types:

• Andrew Johnson, American president
• Benjamin Harrison, American president
• Evander Holyfield, boxer
• George H. W. Bush, American president
• George Washington, American president
• Harry Truman, American president
• Herbert Hoover, American president
• Jack Webb, actor and producer
• Elizabeth II, queen of England
• Warren Buffet, investor and businessman

Well I have to say to some extent that the personality that I got was correct. Well frankly speaking it basically says I am somewhat of a felling less man who only thinks with his head and does things only thinking of the better outcome without thinking of anyone else (which is basically the definition of a cruel leader). But the funny part is, I think in a way I do have a little of that in me. The career that I can fit into was also interesting. Actually I got what I wanted in this i.e. computer programmers, systems analysts, computer specialists etc. The renowned persons with my personality list also seem interesting too, although I will have to say there were many presidents. So to sum it all up this has been a very interesting and somewhat assuring thing to know my personality type and even perceive how other people think of me so I can remodel myself in being a better and a nice man (which my personality should not care about, in fact a little part of me really doesn’t).

First task of second sem

1.       Work as a development team member, recognizing the different roles within a team and different ways of organizing teams.

→   During our professional as well as our studying years we are bound to have a group project or even work within a group. For this of course we have to have some experience and awareness of how to use the resources effectively of what other group members have to offer. So I do want to learn how to work in a group and also in the process also develop my skills as a group leader.

2.       Deploy information retrieval skills (including using browsers, search engines and catalogues).

→   As a student learning IT we should know the operating functions of the fundamental parts of IT that we can use to make our work easier. This includes using the browsers and even the search engines like Google, Bing etc efficiently and effectively so as to reduce the errors that occur to a minimum and hence decreasing the time spent in the information compilation. Hence, I do want to work in this sector too.
