My results were:
1. Self (4.71)
2. Body Movement (4.29)
3. Language (3.86)
This was no real surprise; really, I think it's quite accurate. I have a tendency to be self-aware by default and think things over probably more than is good for me. As for body movement, I've always been well-coordinated and have picked up sports relatively quickly. Language also fits the mold, although I'm better with written language than verbal as it isn't socially acceptable to speak in monologues; I enjoy reading and learn from what I've read.
I also completed two Myers Briggs personality assessments from:
humanmetrics.com
personalitypathways.com
I scored as an INTP on both tests. I (Introverted) N (Intuition) T (Thinking) P (Perceiving)
I think that the INTP label is an accurate description of my personality. I find thinking of situations that confirm my quiz findings difficult because it would require me to sift through thousands of instances. I've often been in arguments where the actual format of the argument is being debated. I've had plenty of moments where people may interpret me as being "in my own world"; they would be right. I have, in the past for the most part, second guessed myself more than is reasonable. Overall, it's easy for me to agree that I can be slotted into this group.
Suggested careers for my personality type are largely centered around the sciences. The careers listed on humanmetrics included: natural science, natural science education, information systems, computer science, software engineering, and being a librarian. These suggestions are quite unfortunate as they were part of the reason I pursued a scientific education before enrolling at Algonquin College. Science, in general, seemed like an obvious choice as I'm good at it, it pays well, and the demands of the work seem to match my personality. In truth, although I enjoyed the actual science, I found the lifestyle of academia to be unrewarding and tedious, leading me here to the more adventurous side of the Ottawa valley.
