Measuring your inner self

So as you all probably know I'm studying at the university here in Örebro to become a Psychologist. And to become a psychologist we have to know what it's like to be in the position of our clients. So, I'm in therapy. First up is group therapy, then I'm going to try out one-on-one therapy.

But that's not all we do for our clients. If we work for a company we might help them decide what person to hire. Now, at our disposal we might have tests like IQ tests and personality tests, so today we had the opportunity of making these tests ourselves.

So yeah, Today I have done a complete IQ test and a Personality test using the OCEAN-scale (A test measuring your personality in five areas: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism) and it was super fun!

I don't know the score of my IQ test because our teacher will have to score them first, so I won't know until monday next week, but I do know the result of my Personality test, and I gotta say it's pretty accurate! Some things I'm not completely sure it fits, but mostly my good traits and my bad traits are all there - on paper!

It shows my openness to other cultures and experiences and noted my defiant nature. I had the highest score you could get in imagination but a pretty low score in pliability, which shows that I don't really like to follow the stream or follow orders. I like to know why I do stuff before I do them.

Either way I've had a fantastic day today with the testing! It's so fun and I think everybody should do one haha! The IQ-test  is a little bit more scary to me, with not knowing the result and all, but it will probably be alright too :)
