¶ … SF-36 demo gave mostly mid-range scores in the 40-60%ile. This was most likely because most of my answers to the questions consisted of "some of the time" or "not sure," as I felt that my subjective experience of my overall health and mental state is possibly not as accurate as a true objective view of what my activity and overall life is like. Thus, the test did not provide me with as much useful information as I would have liked, as I felt it was too subjective in spite of the variables used by Dr. Ware to ensure a quality algorithmic reading of my responses to the 36 question test (Ware, n.d.). My perception of those variables is really what determines the scoring and I doubt my own perception is always the most accurate one; for example, regarding bodily pain or physicality or functioning and general health, I do not really think I have a fair assessment of what I do, as I tend to be overly analytical or critical or even just the opposite -- hardly interested; so it is a difficult test to take with much authority.

Personality Tests REVISED In taking the Myers-Briggs personality test, my results indicated ENFJ, or Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Judging. One interpretation calls this type "The Teacher" for shorthand (presumably because Extraversion is required for a teacher or professor to willingly stand in front of a classroom and "perform," while the Judging component helps with grading papers). Another weblink offered to show me a list of famous people with the ENFJ type: after
Personality Test Analysis My scores on the "Big Five" model personality test are Openness: 96%; Conscientiousness: 86%; Extraversion: 27%; Agreeableness: 69% and Neuroticism: 37%. (John, 2009) On the Jung Typology test, my type is INFJ: Introverted: 89%; Intuitive: 75%; Feeling: 25%; Judging: 44%. (Humanmetrics) This was very similar to the Keirsey Temperament Test, which also classifies me as an INFJ, also known as the "Counselor." (Butt, 2010) According to the analyses that
In addition, the information that I find on their site seems to be very vague, especially about what kind of 'success' they have had in being accurate regarding people's personalities. While this is not just a quick, online quiz, it has much more of the feel of that type of 'test' than the Myers-Briggs assessment does. If I were to take a personality test, I think I would avoid
All participants will be clinically diagnosed with an addiction problem to alcohol and/or another controlled substance. Those that are addicted to prescription medicine alone will be excluded from the study as they are suspected to represent a different underlying order. Subjects will be chosen for addiction to alcohol, meth, crack, opiates and other controlled substances, other than prescription drugs. Participants may have single or multiple substances of addiction. In order to
However, there are several questions posed by the specific description generated by the online personality test. Are the results cross-cultural? For example, would someone who was not from an individualistic, change-focused, and esteem-oriented culture like America agree with the results? Is the Barnum effect more pronounced amongst certain types of people and are some individuals more apt to disagree with the results? In contrast to the theory of the Barnum
Psychological Test There have been many definitions of a test. For example, Kline (1993, P. 16) defines a psychological test as a standardized measure of behavior. Hogan (2007, p.41) considers such definitions lacking and instead offers a more comprehensive definition, "A test is a standardized process or device that yields information about a sample of behavior or cognitive processes in a quantified manner." Categories of Psychological Tests According to Hogan (2007) there
