I felt that over all my results of the personality test were very accurate. I scored very high on Contentiousness as being very well organized and can be relied upon. This is very true and definitely shows in my work. Everything that I do whether it be on the computer or my desk is very put together and in its place. I very rarely lose things and when I do I completely freak out because it’s not like me to misplace anything (except my cell phone). There is also never been a time when someone needed me for something and I let them down. If I say I’m going to do something, I do it. I’m very glad I am like this because I definitely would not have lasted this long or made such a positive impact in my job if I hadn’t. I’ve been told on multiple occasions that I’m their most reliable employee. Again, I think over all my results definitely represent me and how I tend to be. I’m a very realistic person and don’t really spend a lot of time really thinking about anything other than “what needs to be done”. While I’m not the most assertive person when it comes to meeting people, once I’m comfortable in my environment and the people I’m around, I tend to be social and definitely a chatterbox. I had a rough upbringing which I think has influenced the way I am towards people. I generally try to be polite and as helpful as possible, but I do have a bit of a short fuse and was once dubbed the “grudge master”. I was actually surprised that my results were in the middle for Agreeableness but I can see why it would be basically centered. I’m not intentionally rude or even nice to others. I tend to treat others how they treat me and I will have a very hard time forgiving someone if I feel they have wronged me. Last but not least, my anxiety is the most frustrating part of me. I scored second highest on this one, and it’s very true. I’m a very nervous person, I’ll get into a nervous shaking fit just by having a group of people sing me Happy Birthday. The slightest thing to go wrong makes me anxious and all worked up. It’s something I’ve tried to work on but it’s just what it is. When I was working in the office (I work from home now) I just had to be honest with my boss and learn how to hide my panic attacks. I usually give disclaimers to new employees (I’m the one that trains them, poor things) that I tend to get a little over the top and not to mind me if I repeat myself constantly or get very worked up if something goes wrong. Thankfully, I am fully aware of the positives and negatives of my personality and how  I might not be able to manage them individually but I’m good at making sure it doesn’t affect my work life, home life, or relationships. I just cry through the homework and get it done, stay focused and on top of things at work and try to be as friendly as possible and not too aggressive and dominating while working in groups. I’ve been able to get the hang of things and make improvements every year.
