Sometimes we may think we know ourselves, but it is not until we take personality tests that we get to understand our traits better. I believe taking personality tests is a great step towards understanding oneself. The different personality tests may slightly differ from one another, but there may be similarities among the results that one cannot dispute. Personally, I believe I have come to understand more about myself and how I relate to the environment around me. From the tests I have done, I have found out that I am not good around crowds of people. I am not very good at speeches and mingling with others. I, therefore, think that personality tests help us be more aware of ourselves and we can thus understand the situations that make us uncomfortable. I have also come to know that when we are aware of our personality, we can interact better with others.

Therefore, I can easily handle my emotions. The third aspect of the test is art appreciation. This measures one’s interests in artworks and artistic activities. I got a score of 63 which shows that I appreciate art to a large extent. This shows that artworks form a big part of my life. Honesty is the fourth aspect tested by the measure, and I got a score of 62. This shows that I am high on honesty. In regards to agreeableness, the test shows that I am somewhat disagreeable than most people. In regards to conscientiousness, I am a laid back person, and order, details, goals, and ambitions are not high on my list of priorities. About extraversion, am somewhat extraverted. About neuroticism, the test shows that I have few emotional swings. Finally, about openness, the results of the test show that I am somewhat o...
