Personality tests spark the thought in everyone, what type am I? and what does that really mean? are the most common thoughts. The subsequent questions follow, like which type is better than the others? am I the best type? how do they know which I am? who decided that these are the types? all these question push us into a direction that many of us are not familiar with or maybe even uncomfortable with. Almost every psychologist that does this type of testing has their own "types" or general categories that they use. Some psychologists ask general questions and vague general category types; while others will ask very detailed questions and have detailed categories with multiple facets within the categories. TEAM is the one I am most familiar with... T-taskmaster, E-enthusiasts, A-analyst, M-mainstay, when I took that test it put me in the taskmaster group, that was over ten years ago, my guess is I will still be in a supervisor type category, since personality traits change very little over the course your life after your teens.
Guardians is the group that I will most likely fall in but the Artisans category is the one I most identify with. This must come from the 30 plus years I have spent working with my hands and building things like roads, houses, welding projects and many other construction projects and art crafts. The Idealist would be my third choice mainly because that is where teachers are mentioned and that is my major. The Rationals is a group I can relate to as well since inventors fall into this category, and while I don't consider myself an inventor I have worked as a welder and machinist building other inventor's inventions, or have been involved in making alterations that improve the invention. When I get done testing I'll post my results...you could go to the WEBSITE and test yourself or comment here which personality you think best describes you and me. I'll look forward to your comments.
