I recently took the Myers Briggs Type Indicator test and it told me I was -

• very expressed extravert
• moderately expressed sensing personality
• moderately expressed feeling personality
• moderately expressed judging personality

Through doing this test I realised how the University lifestyle has changed my personality. I used to be an intraverted person because I would tend to be on my own and was not confortable being in a large group, however I think that now I am at University I feel more inclined to take part in certain situations, go talk to more people and become more involved in group situations.

I think in some aspects of my personality have never changed such as handing in work as soon as I can to get it out of the way. It was only through college that I suddenly became a more tidy person so it made finding work easier and quicker. I believe to take life one step at a time rather then worry about the future. I think I have changed for the better and was very happy that I took this test.

The VARK Questionairre

Total number of V's circled = 5
Total number of A's circled = 3
Total number of R's circled = 3
Total number of K's circled = 5

This means my personality type is Multimodel because all of the numbers are similar. This means that I find different ways of learning. I always thought I was more of a visual person as I prefer to watch a demonstration than to read and rather then memorize facts I like to visualize the image in my head. I knew I wasn't a reader/writer straight away as I find reading things hard to remember because I lose attention quickly whereas if I was watching it on a screen I could break it down more easily. This is why I am more of a movie person then a book person.
