Discovering Myself...

The Psychology Test results I obtained from JPA today were somewhat expected in certain areas, but some came as a surpise. I discovered that I am:

26% nervous.

40% depressive. A little depressive is good, said the JPA officer, so that you're not too relaxed over something. My score is in the "Acceptable" area.

80% active-social. Which came to me as a surprise. I never thought that I am that sociable.

89% expressive-responsive. Another surprise, because I usually bottle up my emotions.

91% sympathetic. My highest score.

48% subjective. Subjective includes indecisiveness, and acting on impulse.

69% dominant. Dominance includes the ability to be assertive, self-confidence and the ability to stand up for one's belief. I don't really like my score though. I hope I'm not a control freak.

33% hostile. I don't remember what "hostile" actually meant in this test.

46% self-disciplined. Oh my, though my score is categorized as "Acceptable", I do not like the look of it. This is a trait I must work my best on.

In my personality analysis, I was categorized as a person who is calm and able to take things as they are, although I can be a pessimist at times. I am also known as a person who is shy, quiet and rarely known among people. Haha. Correct, that is. I was also described as a person who doesn't like to complain and a person who doesn't like to ask for others' help. Although I scored high for my expressive-responsive trait, the individual analysis says that I do not express my emotions well and that I need to work on it. Alhamdulillah, none of my traits were in the "Improvements suggested" or "Improvements needed", but I need to retain my "Excellent" ones and improve on my "Acceptable" ones.

I actually love doing all these psychological and self-discovery tests. Sometimes you get lost about how you think of yourself that you don't see what your real strengths and weaknesses are, and how people perceive you. You just get lost in a world of your own perceptions and sometimes you deceive yourself. Although I wouldn't say that the results were 100% correct, it certainly helped to step back and assess myself in certain areas. Done with my self-discovery for this time around... so now on to self-improvement!
