Personality Assessment

Everyone has unique personality traits that are developed through the different stages of life. Your personality, sometimes referred to as your temperament, is influenced by many different things. That is why, if you look at your mother, father or even your best friend, you will see some striking similarities and some GREAT differences. An understanding of these similarities and differences not only helps us navigate complex relationships, but it also gives us a greater understanding of ourselves.

Understanding ourselves and each other takes a great deal of time and effort. Luckily, at the Career and Placement Unit we have several tools to aid us in making that process a bit simpler.

Your personality has a great impact on the career you are likely to choose as you continue your adventures in career decision-making. To find your personality type, you can take the test below. It is important to visit the Career and Placement Unit for a more comprehensive assessment.

Knowing more about your personality — and yourself — can help you lead a life with less conflict and a sense of purpose. Even if you discover qualities of your personality that you’re unhappy with, the information can help you understand the things that may need changing.

A personality test can give you a great deal of insight about the core components that make up who you are. Personality is how we interact with the world and those around us. It determines whether we bounce back after a tragic event or relationship problem, or we get mired down by the feelings. Your personality helps determine whether you’ll get along with your co-workers and boss, or whether every conversation turns into an argument.
