Personality Types
So, the other day I was watching a Cinnamon Toast Ken’s video, on Youtube, in which he and his friend took a personality test
online. I was really intrigued because they were really finding the results to
be spot on, and I decided I wanted to take the test myself, for the fun of it!
16 Personalities Test
The test they took was from the 16Personalities website. In this website you are supposed to take a relatively quick quiz, in
which you have to be as true to yourself as possible when answering each
question. There are no right or wrong answers. In the end, the website will
determine which of the 16 personalities best defines you, based on your
answers. The 16 personalities are divided into 4 types: The analysts, diplomats,
sentinels and explorer personalities.
The Defender
After completing the quiz, I got the Defender personality, from the sentinel category. I couldn’t
believe what I was reading! It was like the site was describing me! The
introduction says:
“Though sensitive, Defenders have excellent analytical
abilities; though reserved, they have well-developed people skills
and robust social relationships; and though they are generally a
conservative type, Defenders are often receptive to change and new ideas. As
with so many things, people with the Defender personality type are more than
the sum of their parts, and it is the way they use these strengths that defines
who they are.”
This couldn’t be more accurate! I always saw myself as
someone who adapts really easily to different surroundings and personalities. I
also define myself as an ambivert, being super introvert with people I don’t
know and the life of the party when I’m with friends and family. I can be quiet
and reserved, but also loud and outspoken.
The site also said something that was completely true
about my personality which was that even though people like me don’t like the
spotlight, we feel a level of satisfaction when our efforts are recognized.
There is a difference between Turbulent Defenders and Assertive
Defenders. I am the Turbulent type. The site says that Turbulent defenders
more actively anticipate problems (true), are quick to blame themselves when
something goes wrong (very true), are vigilant (too true) and value the
opinions of others (I like to pretend that I don’t, but I manage to keep it on
the inside).
Here are some Defenders you may know:
