Personal Narrative: Big Five Inventory (BFI)

679 Words3 Pages

When I took this Big Five Inventory (BFI) I learned some things about myself that I did not know. I scored a 20 in extraversion, 24 in agreeableness, 19 in conscientiousness, 25 in neuroticism, and 27 in openness. I took the test before I read the book so I had no idea what these numbers meant. As I read the book, I then started to understand and agreed with the scores that I received. From the different personality tests that I have taken in the past, I know that I am an introvert. So, the score of 20 I thought was too high, but from the book it says that an extravert is sociable, fun-loving, and affectionate. I am these things but just around the people I feel comfortable around, such as family and close friends. This is most evident in church because that is where most of my family and close friends gather. I am comfortable around them, and I also try to get out of my comfort zone once in a while. This score makes sense, but only during certain times. The book says that agreeableness is soft-hearted, trusting, and helpful. On the flip side, it says ruthless, suspicious, and uncooperative. I agree with the 24 that I scored for agreeableness this time in my life. However, if I got this score last semester I would not agree with it. In the beginning of this semester my boss treated me horribly and I lost my trust in him and most of my old coworkers. …show more content…

I 100% agree with the score of 19 that I received for this. I am not organized at all. In my room, my bed is never made and I have all my clean clothes stuffed into my drawers. I also am not as disciplined in spiritual life as much as I would like to be. I want and need to be more disciplined in reading my bible. If I am more disciplined in this area of my life, it would have helped me be more wise and careful in certain situations of my life. There are many times in my life if I was just a bit more careful, I would have not ended up hurting myself and

Appendix D contains ten sentences in which my transferable, content, and stylistic skills were applied to an experience which occurred in my life. This is exercise 6-4 in the textbook. My transferable skills included “coached”, “listened”, “helped”, and even “evaluated”. It would seem as though I should be in a profession where listening, helping and evaluating are all integrated into a day’s work. By being a physician, I would be “coaching” patients, in a sense, by directing and guiding them back to their normal health state.

Reflection of Assessment Results As I am reading the results of my BeMIS Personality Assessment report, I am amazed at the accuracy of the assessment. It is interesting how the assessment breaks each topic into present and preferred sections. This breakdown allows me to see what areas in my personality could be improved.

My five signature themes were: Achiever- As an Achiever, “No matter how much you may feel you deserve a day of rest, if the day passes without some form of achievement, no matter how small, you will feel dissatisfied.” Sometimes people call me an overachiever, but that is how I feel is my normal.

It was a taciturn gloomy morning, the year of 1862. The 12th of September. At the end of it, I might be with my family again or buried someplace underground. It was my time to go into battle as soon as I finish saying goodbye to my loved ones. The tears slid down my wife’s face and my daughters lingered into their mother’s arms to cover their dripping faces.

I calendar my work, create reminders, and sometimes start a list the day before just to ensure I never miss a thing although not all days are perfect. I didn’t share my results with anyone however a few of my colleagues have taken the personality test (Junigan typology assessment) as well. What I learned about myself first, is that I have room for improvement. I don’t have to so precise although this is my very first class in quite some time.

According to my big 5 results, I scored 13 points in Extraversion, 30 points in Agreeableness, 36 points in Conscientiousness, 34 points in Neuroticism, and 33 points in Openness. The reason why I scored really low in Extraversion than the four others is because I don’t have much of a will power for socializing with other. I meanly keep to myself in school and I reality leave the house since I don’t like being around a lot of people. I am a huge introvert when it comes to staying quiet which isn’t a good thing since we live in a social environment but I am more comfortable being alone then being among a lot of people.

The period of enlightenment transpired in the eighteenth century and it bolstered logic and the use of the scientific method in order to investigate beliefs that had been “truths” asserted by a religion. For instance, Christian scriptures declared to believers that the Earth was at the center of the universe and were shamed if they believed otherwise. However, the period of enlightenment induced people to question these principles and led to intellect over faith. It is relevant to note that “Philosophy aligned itself with the pure and natural sciences, and metaphysics was subsumed into scientific hypothesis and theorization” (R&H,26). Science proved to Christians that the Earth was in fact not at the center of the universe, so believers questioned
