Overview of Psycological Personality Tests


To ask the question, “My theory of Personality” is a hard question to answer. I think the answer is one of many things. The personality that I have is much different from the one that you have. What I will do is use what I know about personality and also use information from other psychologist to answer this question. What I would like to call this theory is the “Myersonian theory of Personality”. A look at sixteen different personality types that I have constructed using the knowledge on my views of others and also the way in which my parents and sister saw people. I used the Biggs-Myers sixteen personality types as my basis of work and make my own spin off of what I think these sixteen stands for.
