The personality test that I took describes me very well. Almost everything it says is accurate to my personality. However, there is one thing I disagree with, and that is that ENFP personality people have poor practical skills. For most people this is true but I believe that depends on the person because I do not have poor practical skills but I do understand why they would think that. I also agree with many other things it says, like that it is hard for me to focus, (it is) I over think things, (I do) I know how to relax. (I do)

The personality test says I am 71% extraverted, 78% intuitive, 64% feeling, 85% prospecting, and 60% turbulent which I agree with. Extraverted means I am open, and not afraid of people which is the opposite of introverted which means that they keep to themselves and don’t talk very much. Intuitive means I am smart and know how to use the skills l have learned. Feeling means that l care about other people and that l will help those in need. Prospecting means that l have a good hope for the future. Turbulent means i have a kind of “hot head” which for the most part is true. (unfortunately) …show more content…

Downey has the same personality traits that l do, he is a EMFP-T personality. He is definitely an extrovert, in fact most actors are. He is intuitive and l believe that is why he is such a good actor, because he takes what he knows and applies it to his acting. He is feeling because he donates money to charity and he is a generally nice and funny person. He is prospecting because he is excited to do more acting projects and looks forward to the future. He is turbulent but again, most actors

Chief Bromden is an individual who is faking to be deaf and dumb to all of those around him, so he pretty much is an observer. For this reason, he overhears a lot of what is going on in the asylum.
