5-Factor Personality Test

has anyone here taken the little test/quiz psychcentral has?

i thought it would be interesting to see what the results were over a course of time and i keep forgetting about it and that i took it and stuff... but i like to check my quizzes every so often to see what i've taken and maybe to just take a new one for fun...

i was just wondering if anyone has done the same thing and if they noticed any strange changes in the 5-Factor Personality Test...?

is it normal for it to change like that? i would of thought that personality is supposed to be something more solid, know what i mean?

ISTJ - The Duty Fulfiller

Serious and quiet, interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely thorough, responsible, and dependable. Well-developed powers of concentration. Usually interested in supporting and promoting traditions and establishments. Well-organized and hard working, they work steadily towards identified goals. They can usually accomplish any task once they have set their mind to it.

im just curious... personality really isnt supposed to change too much right?
i gots a headache... can't believe i've been doin that for so long and had forgotten about it

Each personality state can have its own set of factor ratings just like each can have their own manner of speech, manners, gestures, posture, dress, gender, thoughts and ideas, jobs....anything personible to them. Even our intelligence levels are all at different levels in here. Some are intelligent, smart, airheaded, dull, or average.

So, taking a personality test and arriving to various assortments of number groupings aren't a surprise to me...that's why I don't take them (or any other test)...it's pointless because it isn't and can never be correct for the system.

i wonder why i started doing that back then... like what was i thinking? or trying to prove or whatever

the ISTJ part is funny, lol

I have not taken the test here. We have had some, over the years, who were intrigued by differences in things such as personality tests, blood pressure differences, and vision/eyesight tests. The results were interesting to say the least. If memory serves me correct we have an INTJ, INTP, INFP, ENFP, ESTP, and I believe I ended up getting ENTP.

I found that even when one of us takes the same tests, the results can vary. One of us, for example, might get INTJ one time and INTP the next. I imagine this is not only related to internal influences, but external ones as well. Regardless, I do find things like this interesting myself.

i've not taken the quiz

maybe 1 day... I don't know

in normal every day life every human being even people who do not have any mental disorders change in their personalities. so of course to me its only logical that when taking any psych tests a person is going to change from one testing to another. in fact in psychiatric evaluations one of the validity factors in psych tests is that they repeat questions of the same theme/topic asked in a different and same way as asked somewhere else on the tests. a person who answers 100 percent identically with these validity questions are scored as being trying to manipulate the outcome of the tests.

let me show you an example....

when out with friends how do you feel and react when a person makes a joke, or says something you dont like or you are going to a party, or going to school, or doing something you hate vs coming here to psych central.....

each one of these normal situations a persons personality changes.....

when a person is out with a friend and their friend makes a joke and you feel and think that joke is funny you smile, laugh and enjoy the joke

when a person says something you dont like you feel angry and maybe walk away or tell them something like that made you mad.

when going to a party people are excited and happy, full of energy
when going to school those that hate school are sad, which the school year was over and show their displeasure at having to go to school
coming here to psych central makes most people feel good other wise they would not be coming here because no one is forcing anyone to come here to psych central. people who come here are curious, interested, happy, need help with a problem...

see what I mean a human beings personality naturally changes based on what they are thinking and doing at that moment. personality tests on line are not for diagnostic purposes. they just show you how you are feeling at the moment you are taking that test. because every element in a persons life is not 100 percent identical so tests results for personality tests are not going to be identical every time they are being taken...

Im going to answer a personality test differently on a work day then I am going to answer the same test questions on a stay at home with a sick child and then again I would be answering the same test questions differently when I am getting ready for a vacation camping trip....

also something to consider with online tests... they are not rely-able ... many factors of test taking is not part of online testing like they do not take into consideration what medications a person is on, what life situations a person is going through, their medical history and many other factors that having a psychiatrist off line administer the testing process takes into consideration with personalty testing.

when I take any tests online I take them purely for entertainment purposes especially when online tests tell me i have a problem that only applies to someone outside my gender, or other things in my life.

my suggestion is just continue to go according to what ever your treatment provider diagnosed you as being when you took your last psych eval and if you dont agree with those scores ask for an updated psych eval, it has been a year almost since your last evaluation so if anything when you take an updated evaluation there will be changes and improvements. even with those not treated for dissociative problems, dissociation problems do improve with treatment for other problems and learning how to take care of one self and their problems.
