It's been hard for me to figure out why psychologists make people take all these personality tests. I mean I can tell you I'm outgoing if you ask. In my health promotion class on tuesday night we took a personality test that I'd never done before. You had a list of 4 words in a row and you had to categorize them with a 1-4 as to which word most describes you. The results consisted of placing you into 4 categories: Grapes, Oranges, Bananas, and Melons (i dont know which type of melon exactly). Turns out I'm a banana! This is perfect, I love bananas! Here is what it says about me:
Natural abilities include: Planning, Fact-finding, Organizing, Following directions
Bananas learn best when they: Have an orderly environment, Have specific outcomes, Can trust others to do their part, and Have predictable situations.
Bananas may have trouble: Understanding feelings, Dealing with opposition, and answering "what if" questions.
To expand their style, bananas need to: Express their own feelings, Get explanations of others' views.
dang. These tests are popular because they are so legit. This is why I'm set for the business world. I don't want your opinion, I just want you to tell me what to do and I'll go do it. If you ask me, "what if....?" I'll probably tell you I don't care "what if" and tell you to come back when something actually happens. It's true, it's the way I roll. It seems as if I didn't really need to take this test afterall, I kinda already knew these things. But it's always good to know which peice of fruit I am. I hope everyone caught the Gwen Stefani reference in the title. She rocks.
