PERSONALITY TRAITS TEST

 REFLECTION...

To become a good Technopreneur an individual must possess a fine personality to determine whether he or she is capable to seize the said position. In connection with this, our facilitator in Technopreneurship rendered to us a personality test that will measure our potentials of becoming a technopreneurs in the future. He has given us 30 questions to answer and I find it so interesting to answer. Throughout the period, we have evaluated ourselves and have identified that more of us are bearing the potentials to become a technopreneur. After taking the test we are asked by our facilitator to create a reflection regarding the test we had ay reflection goes like this. I remember before when we have taken an aptitude test that measures the same thing as what personality traits aiming to.
As defined in some sources, personality is the habitual patterns and qualities of any individual as expressed by physical and mental activities. We can only determine the personality of a person if we are closely knew everything about him. However there are some ways to determine the personality of a person like undertaking a self test. The results will reflect the personality that an individual possesses. In taking the test, it is also important to be honest with the answers because in this kind of a test you are measuring your capability and if you cheat you just like fooling yourself. Before we had started the test our facilitator reminds us of not to do thing that was mentioned because it would be bias in our part. Unlike with the other test, personality traits test or aptitude test is different where you don’t need to study a numerous books as a reference but all you have to do is to check and made some assessment to yourself in order to answer the different questions follows. In this test, there is no mistake and as well as no correct because every answer will be given a corresponding equivalent. The equivalent of the total result is the basis of rating or giving the range of the test. There was an assigned equivalent to every result and with correspond to the result is the description that identifies the taker’s status. The result of the test can be consider as fair because the taker was the one who made the decision and the choices in other words no one dictates him the choice.
Our personality can be developed through the influences of some factors involving the family, school, organizations, group of friends, and even interaction with peers. Interpersonal activities are needed in order to mingle and communicate with others as a way of building a good relationship toward others. These activities will let everyone to recognize and discover their personalities as de they deal with other people. I believe that different people you mingle is different attitude you are acting especially when that person is new or stranger to you. A personality needs discovery and this could be attained only through engaging in activities that will definitely develop a person’s attitude as he supposed to be. A man that has a pleasing personality not only outside but inside is a man with a better career in the future. The first is more important than the latter because inside personality is more blessed than the other and the said personality of a person would be one of the means of his success. It is useless for a person example to a businessman of having a presentable appearance outside and the fact that he or she has an opposite appearance inside. We cannot deny the fact that today; most of the hired employees are having a pleasing outside personality especially those careers which is dealing with different personalities. Somehow, I was disappointed with this reality because the essence of intelligence was disregarded.
While I’m answering, I made some realizations out of the questions. Every question checks my personality towards business and gives me a hint on earning money in a fair manner. Some questions are situational and some are practical. The test result amazed me because it was stated there that somewhat I have the potential to be good technopreneur and me in myself got more interested to engage in more businesses. At first, I doubt if I really fit to be in business because I don’t even know my abilities and potentials in business but when I recognize the result of the personality test, I was then hoping to become a technopreneur someday. I got also some difficulties in answering the questions because some are in contrast with my attitude and you need to weigh it according to what is more favourable. I was surprised with the questions because I didn’t expect that it would go like that and it was my first time to take a personality traits test.
“Personality is the mirror of oneself.” I arrived with this quote because as I reflect with the questions that were given to us, I was hit with some of the questions where you have to decide and choose the answer that best pictures yourself if you will be handling a business in the future. The questions are stated based on your views about business. In order for you to answer the different questions you have to put yourself upon the situation in other words you must consider already yourself as a business minded one. One of my realization is that I think before some of the businessman engage with their chosen career they have also undergo with this kind of test and it made easy for them to deal in business world because they have already identified their selves on how they will going to treat business. Maybe this is also the reason why lots of businessmen nowadays are successful with their career because they have these personalities. When someone had already gone through this test, he will be enables to identify or recognize his weaknesses and mistakes and changes that are needed by him to be a good entrepreneur someday. The result of the test is not just a thing that we have to ignore or surpass but a responsibility that requires much time and enough attention to sufficed with. We are accountable to develop ourselves as soon as we enter the world of business otherwise we would be blaming ourselves of not doing our part. Always remember that a person could only realize the importance of something when it is already out of his sight. This time might be the best time for us as a student to practice and train ourselves for the real battle in the future where we will be walking along the road of our different careers.
Personality traits test is important to those people whom are interested in business because it is one way of determining their competency and capability in business. If you are a businessman it is important for you to be positive with your work and able to cope with some changes and differences you would encounter along the way of your career. For example, you are impatient one; it will not provide a good result to your management because it might be the reason of having an unorganized flow of the business. The test would also examine on how you handles and valued money when it is already on good course. Knowing that business is a career where you would be dealing different scenarios and with different people it is necessary to have a good approach with them.
In addition, I in myself can say that I have the potential of becoming an entrepreneur because as what stated in the result I am somewhat entrepreneur. Somewhat, I am agree with the result because there is part of me which is fond of business. I like to experience business someday and to apply the insights I gained from this course. Not only the insights I have gained but also the hints and techniques on how to handle businesses properly to achieve success. Recalling the personality traits test reminds me of what is needed to do and what is not necessary in business. The test does not only address to the approach towards business but also it speaks to our individual lives, on how we live with it. Our personality shows the real us in this world. We all know that in the world is full of changes and adjustments that really affect our attitudes towards these things. The test can help us to be reminded basically in doing great things that is probably elevate us to success and also to improve our characteristics.
Someone who has a great personality is able to adopt and understand everything as how it approaches to individual life. Somehow, each has given an opportunity to cope with the different situations that life may bring every day. There are times that a person is tend to change or alter his or her personality for the sake of others and also for a change but it is a fact that every one of us has given a unique personality that was planted within us since we are in the womb of our mothers. The inborn personalities that we had also need development and maturity. As we go older, our personality matures as well. This is one of the things that made an individual distinct from others. No matter what happens no one can steal this from an individual.
It is reality that sometimes our personality leads us to danger and sometimes results to failure to an individual. Like for an instance, one person have misinterpreted others attitude and suddenly may direct to conflicts. To avoid this case, one side should know the characteristics and the differences of the other side. Through this approach, both parties would be aware of what is happening between them and each side will be able to communicate with each other. There are times that when conflicts arise, the real personality of a person comes out. There are different types of personality that involves the personality that is easy to understand and others are not. Easy to understand in a sense that a person who has this personality is open to every changes may occur and is willing to accept new ideas that he think would be helpful to him to improve himself. However, there are personalities that are hard to understand due to some situations that only the subject person is the one who understands his self. There are couple of times that I have encountered this kind of a person and sometimes I’m becoming one of them. I can say that I am becoming one of them because sometimes I can feel in myself that I’m too much defeated by my personality which sometimes others cannot understand me anymore. I think this is also the reason why I can feel loneliness and depressed. There are times also that even my friends can feel disappointment about the attitude that I am showing to them. As I evaluated myself, I can consider myself as person with a weak personality. However, there are person that was born with a strong and firm personality that whatever happens no one can ever change and correct. I salute to this kind of people because they showed a great determination to achieve success in life. Whether there are failures they continue striving for their goal and they did not worry to be shaken of the situations. They are the kind of person that is determined to fight and to stand with their principles and beliefs.
In general, the personality traits test is one of the multiple means to identify a person’s personality towards something. Something which a person desired to or something that can be consider as a new interest for them. The set of questions that is involve in the personality traits test best evaluates ones manner in getting involve with something just like business.
