HW 54:Myers-Briggs Test

This test labeled me as ISTP, "'Engineer'. Values freedom of action and following interests and impulses. Independent, concise in speech, master of tools. 5.4% of total population." This result is pretty accurate and I think this description fits me pretty well. However I can see myself fitting a variety of descriptions based on my mood or who I'm with etc. These tests can't label your true personality, only the instant personality of the tester and the personality they think they have. However the questions test preference, which might seem like an easy way to figure out someone's personality, but not everyone knows what they truly want. Asking these questions will make the tester question who they really are which is important to personal growth and development.

The percentages are pretty helpful because they show how much of each section the tester belongs to. Because people naturally fit into different categories the percents make one hundred different categories for each section. This allows the definition to be more specific and create a more accurate result. This also lets the tester know how much of each category they belong to, if the percents are closer they're more likely to flip flop or change their personality.
The results of these tests are kind of helpful because they give some insight into how we think and act, but the results shouldn't be taken too seriously, because after all it's only a test.
