All About Personality & Personality Tests

Who am I? This age-old question relates to the concept of personality—or, more specifically, how you perceive your personality. Let’s take a deeper dive into what that means!

What is personality?
The American Psychological Association (APA) defines personality as “the enduring characteristics and behavior” that make up “a person’s unique adjustment to life, including major traits, interests, drives, values, self-concept, abilities, and emotional patterns.” In other words, your personality is defined as what makes you you —it’s all the different traits and qualities that make up who you are, how you see the world, and how you interact with others.

What is my personality?
Only you can truly answer this question—but for over a century now (since at least psychologist Robert S. Woodworth’s Personal Data Sheet in 1917), psychologists have created different tests to help people better understand themselves and the way they interact with the world around them. A few popular tests include:

  • MBTI/16Personalities: A test with 16 total personality results. Each personality is represented with a combination of 4 different letters:
    • I or E: Introvert vs. extrovert (whether you’re recharged by time alone or time spent with others)
    • S or N: Sensing vs. intuition (whether you use your physical senses or imagination to observe your surrounding environment)
    • T or F: Thinking vs. feeling (whether you process information in a rational or emotional way)
    • J or P: Judging vs. perceiving (whether you prefer routine and order vs. flexibility)
  • Big 5 Personality Test: A test with 5 total personality results. Everyone’s personality can be boiled down to 1 of 5 major traits:
    • Openness: People who like to experience new things, embark on new adventures, and take on different challenges.
    • Conscientiousness: People who have plenty of self-control and are good at focusing on their upcoming tasks and goals.
    • Extroversion: People who are social butterflies, good at starting new conversations, and comfortable asserting themselves.
    • Agreeableness: People who are especially kind, reliable, warm-hearted, and cooperative.
    • Neuroticism: People who have less control over their emotions and are more likely to endure negative emotions like anxiety.
  • Enneagram test: A test with 9 total personality types. People are given a core personality profile (represented by the numbers 1 through 9) along with a “wing,” or an adjacent profile that embodies aspects of the individual’s personality (e.g., 6w5, 8w7, 3w4, etc.).
