Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power. INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ. "There's something rotten in Denmark." Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends. Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words. INFJs have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the INFJ to know and be known by others intimately. Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche.

3) Is your personality assessment accurate? Why or why not? - Yes, because I tend to be introverted than extroverted: shy, quiet most of the times 4) Which statements in the personality summary do you disagree with?

5) Which parts are most accurate to you?

6) List several famous people who have the same personality type as you. - Nicole Kidman, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King Jr, Martin Van Buren 7) Find a partner you know fairly well. Exchange personality summaries. Below, write your partner’s name and personality type. Do you think that your partner’s summary is accurate? Why or why not?

- Kim, Personality Type: ENTJ No, I do not think that her personality type is correct because I don't really see Kim as super outgoing, sarcastic or tough.

Here is another example of a popular personality test, the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. Y ou have to provide an email address to get your results. http://www.keirsey.com/sorter/register.aspx

8). What were your results? How do they compare to the previous test?

Part III - Unconscious Tests One of Freud's major contributions to the field of psychology was his study of the unconscious. People often do not say what is on their mind, either because they are unwilling or because they are unable to do so. You will explore this theory in a series of tests at the Project Implicit site run by Harvard. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/

Click on "Demonstration." read the IAT Home page, then click on the "go to demonstration tests" link at the bottom. Read then Preliminary Information and then click on "I wish to proceed." You may chose any of the sample tests.

1). Which test did you try? Why did you pick this one? -Career/Gender: I pick this test because it is a topic that often occur about which career is suitable for males and females.

2). What were your results?


 * **Your Result**

Your data suggest a moderate association of Male with Career and Female with Family compared to Female with Career and Male with Family.
||
 * The interpretation shown above is described as an 'association between Female and Career' if you responded faster when //Female names// and //Career words// were classified with one key and //Male names// and //Family words// with the other. It is marked an 'association between Female and Family' if you were faster when the same response was used for //Male names// with //Career words//, and //Female names// with //Family words//. Depending on the magnitude of your result, your automatic association may be described as 'slight', 'moderate', 'strong', or 'little to no preference'. Alternatively, you may have received feedback that 'there were too many errors to determine a result'. ||

**Your Result**
 * completed the Gender - Career IAT.**

Your data suggest a moderate association of Male with Career and Female with Family compared to Female with Career and Male with Family.
Immediately above is the result of your performance of the Implicit Association Test. The score is determined by comparing how quickly and accurately you were able to categorize //career// words with //male// compared to //female// (and family words with female compared to male). Most respondents find it easier to associate //Female// with //Family// and //Male// with //Career// compared to the reverse. The chart just below is a breakdown of the scores generated by others.

You also completed a variety of measures concerning your family status. We are investigating whether, for example, people that have or had a mother working outside the home have different implicit associations about gender and career versus family, than people that have or had a stay-at-home mother. Evidence suggests that implicit associations form based on everyday experiences, so the daily exposure to differences in gender roles in one's own family might be influential on how these associations form in memory - whether we consciously agree with them or not.

3). Explain your reactions to this test. What does this say about your unconscious? I think that I responded faster when female/family and male/career were shown because to me, usually the females are the one at home and takes care of the children while the males are the ones working. I think it also plays in with society views and how it makes our mind to think that way.
