Personality Tests
"Personality" may be defined as your
emotional dispositions, especially those which govern your interactions
with other people. Research by Dr. Goldberg and others has clarified
that there are five primary personality dispositions in many Western
cultures, the "Big Five". These are all "bi-polar" traits, with
different qualities at each end. We might call them
Extroversion-Introversion, Agreeableness-Disagreeableness,
Conscientiousness-Laziness, Emotional Stability - Instability, and
Openness-Closemindedness.

AVAILABLE TESTS
The Big Five Inventory (BFI) 
This 44-item test, developed by Oliver P.
John, Ph.D. and V. Benet-Martinez in 1998, is in the public domain and
has been normed on tens of thousands of adults. It provides a score for
each of the Big Five personality traits (Conscientiousness,
Agreeableness, Emotional Stability, Extroversion and Intellect or
Openness). Scores on these traits can often
explain important issues for adults and thus simplify counseling
efforts. For example, an extrovert working as a night janitor was
depressed. Finding a day job, where he could relate to other people,
went a long way toward relieving his depression.

The Big 5/45 and CAPPs Report
The Big 5/45 is a
comprehensive personality profile. It has 485 items that measure the Big
Five personality traits (Extroversion, Agreeableness, Openness or
Intellectual Interests, Emotional Stability and Conscientiousness).
There are 9 facet scores within each of the 5 main traits.
In addition to scores on
all 45 facets and total scores, you will receive hints on which of 305
jobs for which your personality might suit you. For many jobs, however,
personality is not a strong predictor, so don't put too much faith in
the job scores. More than by personality per se, career interests seem
to be formed by experience, persons after whom we model ourselves,
educational opportunities and on-the-job experiences.
Length of Test:
40-60 minutes
Age Level:
Adults
