our website.
For the time being, we are giving away some information regarding how personality of the person is assessed
through the Psychological Test.
What is a Psychological Test?

Psychological tests are used to determine people's specific traits or behaviours that are associated
with their individuality, and they might even be used to diagnose mental disorders. They may be
used to measure one's mental processes or traits that influence their behaviours.
These tests are developed through extensive research. A personality test is a psychological test that
measures an individual's personality and often puts a label on it.
Traits of a personality assessed by Psychological Test

Psychological test is used to assess different traits of the personality of a candidate.
• Whether the person is empathetic or not.
• Whether the person is active and ready to work or lazy and procrastinator.
• The person has ability to accept challenges.
• Is the person thinker or practical in his approach.
• If the person has some kind of complex, inferiority or superiority.
• If the person is extrovert or introvert.
• If the person has any kind of insecurity.
• How mentally stable is the candidate.
• The ability of the candidate to speak language spontaneously in real life situations.
• How the person reacts in a specific situation. The reaction of the person speaks about his ability to

How to enhance the personality?
Humans are also capable of working on and thus enhancing their personalities through measures like
becoming more self-aware and consciously working on changing unwanted behaviors.
In addition to this, you must have a vision as to what it is that you want to become. Another thing
that might help is if one starts to behave like the person they want to be instead of the person they
are until their mind gets used to the new behaviors and internalizes them so that they truly become
a part of that person.
Here are some personality traits shared by successful leaders:
1. Positive attitude
2. Friendly language
3. Attentiveness towards the speaker
4. Maintenance of composure or avoidance of over reaction
5. Patience
6. Open mindedness
7. Smiling while talking
8. Restrain from giving away all the information
9. Avoid procrastination
10. Helping each other
11. Learning from the failure
12. Learning through the experience of others
13. Praising others when needed
14. Accept their flaws when pointed out by the trusted person
How to attempt the test?

There are also things that a person can do to make sure that the accuracy of psychological tests
remains unaffected by factors that are irrelevant to the test. For example, one should make sure that
they are in a calm setting and least stressed when they are attempting such a test.
They should also read through each question in an unbiased manner instead of letting their social
desirability bias affect the results.
To remain as unbiased as possible, individuals should make sure that they do not have an aim, for
example, with regards to the personality type that they wish to have.
Moreover, they should remain consistent throughout the test and avoid giving conflicting answers,
for example if one of the answers you give leans towards a high level of trust in people while another
leans towards you seeing the worst in people.
You should also make sure that you do not rush through the test and think before giving each answer;
you can accomplish this by making sure you have plenty of time when you attempt the test.
The Big Five Personality Traits Test

The Big Five personality test measures people's personalities with respect to where they lie on the
scales of the big five personality traits.
The five traits are:
Openness to experience, which measures whether a person prefers routine or is spontaneous;
Agreeableness, which differentiates between the abilities to be trusting and being uncooperative;
Conscientiousness, which determines whether an individual leans towards being disciplined or being
disorganized;
Extraversion, which is a scale with reserved personalities on one end and sociable personalities on
the other end; and
Neuroticism, which is a spectrum where on one extreme we have calm individuals while on the other
we have anxious individuals.
Each of these traits measures an aspect of a person's personality and determines whether they lean
towards the higher or the lower end of the said trait. This test demonstrates that each trait is a
spectrum and individuals can lie anywhere on this spectrum instead of being put in a box, which
happens in a lot of other tests.
For each statement, select the option that best represents your opinion.
In the table below, for each statement 1-50 mark how much you agree with on the scale 1-5, where
1=disagree, 2=slightly disagree, 3=neutral, 4=slightly agree and 5=agree.
1. I make friends easily. 6. I do not like parties and gatherings.
