ARMPD- Lecture No. 9 (Personality test)

Personality Test(26/07/12)

Today's lecture started off in a very different manner. Lecturer showed us a scenario(story) in the slides and then asked us to write the answers for it. I was wondering what its all about but then the whole point of doing that was to check our personality.

What is personality?

Personality is something unique to a person. It differs from person to person.

According to John Holland's Theory Most people are one of six personality types:

• Realistic
• Artistic
• Social
• Enterprising
• Conventional
• Investigative

Conventional

People of this personality type like to work with numbers, records, machines in set, orderly way generally avoids ambiguous unstructured activity. They are good at working with written records and numbers in a systematic orderly way.

Realistic

These people likes to work with animals, tools generally avoids social activities like teaching, healing and informing others. They are good in practically doing stuff and experimenting things.

Investigative

These people like to study and solve math or science. These are the ones who solve society problems by giving solution.

Artistic

These people believe in self expression. These people are creative. these people are into music, drama, etc

Social

These type of people likes to help the society and they are more human they love to volunteer.

Enterprising


These people risk takers and they are very good at tricking people.(persuasive people)

Reflection of today's lecture

Today i learnt a very important lesson about personalities. I judged my personality as very  Artistic  and a bit of Social person. I realized that different people have different combinations of personality and it is important for a person to understand about it and improve more on it. None of these personalities are bad it is how the people's personalities are judged.Therefore identify your personality and put an effort to be yourself instead of been someone else.
