Government Jobs Interview Questions
What kinds are there?
There are many online and offline personality tests. One can just do a local search on Google to explore your options. Three I like, have experience with, and recommend include:
Myers-Briggs Personality Tests: based on Carl Jung's theories yet made understandable to us regular people-- this test comes from a view that there are 4 main ways people differ in thinking and interacting. These 4 areas can than be combined for a total of 16 personality types.
The Enneagram Psychospiritual Typology: this tests breaks down personalities into 9 general categories with the understanding that there are many sub-types and differing distinctions possible.
The Max Luscher Color Test: (Warning: although tempting-- This is NOT a novelty test-- NEVER use it as such!!!) Dr. Luscher believed that colors carry deep psyco-emotional responses when viewed. Based on order preference for 8 colors a tremendous amount of information can be given about a person's current state.
Where Can we get them?
Many coaches, therapists, pastors, counselors have access to and certifications (when needed) to administer these tests. There are also online versions of these tests for quick general typing that can be helpful.
I recommend taking the test in conjunction with someone else who will go over it with you.
If you do choose to go it alone and take a simplified version online, be aware as you read the results that it was only deciphering who you are and how you are most likely to respond at that given point in time. Utilize results always with an outlook on how you can better inter-relate to other people.
If you would like to talk more about some of these tests -- Feel free to contact me.
Until next time--- all the best,
