Monday Questions

1)  What is your emotional intelligence? Is your letter combination representative of your personality and thought processes?  How does your results compare to those in the chart above? Explain your reasoning. 
I got ISTJ for my result. I think it is representative of me, because it says trustee, and I feel like I can be trusted; it also says dependable, which I think I am as well. My result was 11-14% of the population, according to the chart. I think it's pretty correct, because I can tend to be introverted and I try to make the best possible judgement calls. My letter combination was the highest of all the combinations in the male category, which I think is surprising.
2)  How are you receiving a multiple intelligence education?  How is your multiple intelligence education limited?  Please give examples for both questions! 
I dont think I'm receiving a multiple intelligence education. I don't take music classes any more, even though I dont feel like you need to in order to just appreciate music. I took art, but I felt like there wasn't really enough freedom in that class. They would assign something, but it would still be really specific, and sometimes coming up with an idea was difficult for me.

Queendom Personality IQ

Snapshot Report
Recognition of Other's Emotions

 73


You were relatively successful on the recognition of emotions aspect of the test; however, you seemed to have had some difficulty occasionally. A score in this range indicates that:
  • Reading body language and facial expressions in social situations is likely not to be too much of a challenge for you. When you read someone in the correct way, you'll be better able to approach him or her in a manner that fits the situation and what he/she is feeling.
  • This means that you are less likely to misjudge others as well - or at least not too often.
  • Your ability to empathize is enhanced when you are able to read others accurately

Jung Test & Big Five Test

Jung Test
ISTJ - "Trustee". Decisiveness in practical affairs. Guardian of time- honored institutions. Dependable. 11.6% of total population.

Big Five Test

Extroversion||||||28%
Orderliness||||||||||||||||68%
Emotional Stability||||||||||||||52%
Accommodation||||||||||32%
Inquisitiveness||||||26%
Extroversion results were low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private.

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, neat, structured and restrained at the expense too often of flexibility, variety, spontaneity, and fun.

Emotional Stability results were medium which suggests you average somewhere in between being calm and resilient and being anxious and reactive.

Accommodation results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly selfish, uncooperative, and difficult at the expense of the well being of others.

Inquisitiveness results were low which suggests you are overly small minded, traditional, and conventional at the expense too often of intellectual curiousity, possibility, and progress.

Freud: Freak of Phenom?

For this question, I'd answer freak. I know that he's obviously important, from the fact that we study him in class, but my personal opinion is that he's a freak. A lot of his ideas are very important contributions to what we know about psychology today, such as the three parts of personality, defense mechanisms, and psychosexual phases. So as far as his research and conttributions, you could consider him a phenom. But, my justification for him being a freak comes from his personal life.
In my opinion, someone's personal life/practices are a good indicator of what kind of person they are. In Freud's case, he had quite an interesting personal life. He studied and practiced hypnotism. He also used cocaine as n expiremental stimulant and anti-depressant. He also later argued that children go through a phase where they fixated on their mother as a sexual object.

Your Results:

Closed-Minded Open to New Experiences
Disorganized Conscientious
Introverted Extraverted
Disagreeable Agreeable
Calm / Relaxed Nervous / High-Strung



There has been much research on how people describe others, and five major dimensions of human personality have been found. They are often referred to as the OCEAN model of personality, because of the acronym from the names of the five dimensions.

Openness to Experience/Intellect
High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative.
You are relatively open to new experiences. (Your percentile: 65)

Conscientiousness
High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
You tend to do things somewhat haphazardly. (Your percentile: 21)

Extraversion
High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet.
You probably enjoy spending quiet time alone. (Your percentile: 9)

Agreeableness
High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous.
You find it easy to criticize others. (Your percentile: 4)

Neuroticism
High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying; Low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure, hardy.
You are generally relaxed. (Your percentile: 37)


What do the scores tell me?

In order to provide you with a meaningful comparison, the scores you received have been converted to "percentile scores." This means that your personality score can be directly compared to another group of people who have also taken this personality test.

The percentile scores show you where you score on the five personality dimensions relative to the comparison sample of other people who have taken this test on-line. In other words, your percentile scores indicate the percentage of people who score less than you on each dimension. For example, your Extraversion percentile score is 9, which means that about 9 percent of the people in our comparison sample are less extraverted than you -- in other words, you are strongly introverted. Keep in mind that these percentile scores are relative to our particular sample of people. Thus, your percentile scores may differ if you were compared to another sample (e.g., elderly British people).

Memory

From the memory test on Virginia Tech's website, I used my study locations of the desk in my bedroom, my kitchen table, and the office in our house. The results showed that the office was my best place to study, and second was my bedroom. This is pretty good, because I use my room mainly for studying, because there are always people in the kitchen and I can't concentrate with that. I don't use the office that much, but seeing these results, I probably should. I could only remember seven of the words, but I got them all right. I think my memory strengths are my ability to keep information and visuals help me a lot to do that. I can learn things better if I can associate them with something else or connect them. My weaknesses would probably be being able to be motivated enough to go over the information regularly and having a positive atitude about certain subjects. I also don't really understand the brainstorming method they talk about. I came up with these acronyms: IIML - Iconic Implicit Memory Learning, LIMI - Learning Iconic Memory Implicit, LEMIP - Learning Explicit Memory Iconic Psychology, IMPEEL - Implicit Memory Psychology Echoic Explicit Learning, and EMP - Explicit Memory Psychology
