Personality


          Alright, so today I took a personality assessment. I'd love to show you the results but first we need some explanation on what a personality assesment is and why we take them. A personality assessment is a test used to determine personal characteristics for diagnosing pyschological problems, assessing job candidates or simply out of personal intrest. Personality test can measure things such as feelings, emotional states or even how you approach your relationships.

 So as you can see I took the Jung Typology Test. This test is based on
Carl Jungs Personality theory. This test consisted of 64 question with 5 answer choices. The test has a total of 16 possible results along with some more precise percentages to show qualities such as extroversion or intuition. My results were as follows.


ENFP

EXTROVERT 41% ( I had a moderate preference of extroversion over introversion).
INTUITIVE 22%  (I had a slight preference of intuition over sensation).
FEEL 33% (Moderate preference of feeling over thinking).
PERCIEVING 6% (Slight preference of perceiving over judging).

With these results came a few job options it believed would be good for someone with a personality such as min. A few careers geared towards me where in the fitness and nutrition paths. Some others that showed up include Journalist, Psychologist and social worker. 


My Thoughts.

I feel that these results aren't exactly perfect but I do find them pretty accurate. I can be extroverted but also have some introverted tendencies from time to time. I also tend to make some of my decision based off my feelings in the moment rather than think them through. I actually really agreed and enjoyed the careers it suggested. I have spent a lot of my time thinking about careers in both the fitness and nutrition industries. I have always had interest in helping people so I can definitely also see a career in Psychology and social work.

    Great job on your blog post! I find it interesting that the personality test gave you job description because mine did not! I also tend to make decisions in the moment based off of feelings. It has led me to good opportunities as well as not let me forget some embarrassing and sometimes dumb mistakes. It has also cost me and others some opportunities as well.

Learning/ Classical Conditioning Alright, so this week in my psychology class were learning about well "Learning". but the tricky thing is the learning we were talking about is not the kind that happens in any ordinary classroom. We learned how a psychologist would define learning. This learning is not taught by an individual but by everyday events that influence our future behavior. This learning happens when we notice them around us and relate them to others or relate a certain action to a consequence. Through this process of learning we become conditioned to react the same way. Its funny humans are not the only ones who have the capacity to learn and be conditioned. In the early 1900's, a Russian psychologist by the name of Ivan Pavlov made an accident discovery during an experiment where he was working with dogs. In this experiment Pavlov and his assistant had a few dogs harnessed up and they would then bring these dogs food. The intended experiment was to bring t...

#PsychStory Alright, so this story is not my own but of someone extremely close to me. This particular story of love and persistence is about Allie Borcik. If you don't already see the connection by name alone, this is my sister. Because this is a personal story I won't go into too much detail. Shortly after her 19th birthday, Allie gave birth to my first nephew, Matias. It was rough but if anyone could do it was her.  At the time, her and Matias's father were together but after showing a constant neglect towards Allie and a lack of motivation to do what a father should do they decided to separate. Discouraged by the fact she was now a single mother, she turned to family for help. Nevertheless, she continued to press on, to work hard, and to be the best mother she could be. Over the next five years, she spent time at some different kinds of jobs and had a few major relationships that didn't quite work out. She was confused about how to go about life as a single moth...

Looking at the different aspects of my life, I have seen some similarities in my life and some things I would like to change. Through my life I have been born, raised, and plan on staying in Abilene for the majority of my life. I have been and athlete since the beginning, I have learned how to compete, come out on top and to make friends in the process. I feel this will help me in my future as a nurse. My life has been centered around God, Family , and faith and I plan to keep this the same throughout. With God and the help of my family I have been consistently happy and I have been blessed with everything I need. Personally and emotionally there have been ups and down but I know with faith and persistence life with be with the hardships.                               ...
