A good relationship between you and your family or friends can happen if you know more about their personalities. Your personality is very important to know because, if you know the positive and the negative side of it, you will try to do more from the positive side and less from the negative side. Scientists did a lot of studies and a lot of research to create these easy tests that can help everyone. They made personality tests such as the Enneagram and the MBTI. They are very accurate.
Scientists have been studying for the past forty years to make the personality tests easier to understand. People are different from each other, and it's really hard to study everyone's personality. So scientists conducted a lot of research to combine all the thoughts that they have to make it easier for you to understand your personality by answering a few questions. The personality has been proven throughout the world. Everybody can take the test because they made it in a way that everyone can take.
When I took the test, I was so surprised by the results. 94% was exactly like me for both kinds of personality tests. When I asked my girlfriend to take this test, she told me, "Stop playing with this test. You are wasting your time." But after she took the test, she thought they were just lucky results. So she took it again and got the same results. I think the type that she has fits her like a glove. I compared my results with my friends, and we learned a lot that I did not know about myself and my friends.
You can learn so many things when you are taking the test and after you take the test. When you are taking the test, you can learn a lot of new vocabulary. After you take the test, you can learn a lot about yourself. What I like in these tests is that they give everything: all the positive and negative points. When a normal person knows the positive or negative side of his personality, he will start to think about his bad side. Why is it bad? How can I change this side and make it better? Usually when people start to make themselves better, they ask, try, and do things they never have done before to be a better person in the world.
The personality test can be really helpful by knowing much about your personality. It can be the reason behind making good people in the world through better understanding and having fewer problems through misunderstanding.

Sometimes my friends like to test their personalities on the Internet, but I don't like to do that. I have taken the enneagram test on the Internet; the result still couldn't satisfy me. I think the enneagram test is not accurate. There are three reasons to support my viewpoint.
First, even though type 2 is my highest score on the enneagram test, the result does not fit me. For example, type 2 "will become resentful if their generosity is not appreciated or reciprocated," but I am not like that. I always think how to help someone around me, and I don't expect that they will pay me back. Another example is that "I don't have problems with possessiveness and with acknowledging my own head." I really understand what I need and I am not afraid that someone discovered it, so I don't belong to type 2. The other example is that I don't "neglect my own need to orchestrate indirectly the behavior of the other people." I always understand what I want and I try to seek it out.
In addition, the other enneagrams have the same scores which are close to type 2. There are four types that use these and have the same scores. Some characteristics of these types fit me better than type 2. For example, "I am a success-oriented person" as type 3, the achiever, because I am eager to succeed. I constantly seek new and exciting experiences just like type 7. I am often ahead of my time like type 5, which is a pioneer to see the world in an entirely new way. I also suppose that I am type 8 because I usually use my strength to improve my life.
Finally, I don't need to depend on some analyses to help me understand myself. I usually understand what I want and what I should do. I also believe that I can overcome any difficulty. For example, one day, my friend took the personality test and the result upset him. I don't want that to happen to me. Therefore, even we can discover our inner heart by taking the personality test. I would like to avoid being influenced.
In short, for the three reasons I stated, I don't believe in the personality test. I would rather trust myself than that. Nevertheless, the personality test is still interesting; maybe sometimes I will discuss it with my friends as entertainment.

Personality is very mysterious. Everyone has a different personality. If everyone in the world has the same personality, what would the world be like? I think it would be really boring because everyone wants the same thing and hates the same thing. It must be a monotonous life. However, everyone also has a similar personality. People who have the same idea make a group, and can exchange their opinions. I have never cared about personalities, even about my own personality, but I took the personality tests and realized that they help people.
Taking a personality test is a good opportunity to think about yourself. For many of us, there is rarely time to think about ourselves in daily life, but when we take a test, we can choose the answers that are much to our characters. So, we have to consider ourselves and find our own shape. For example, you can find your tendencies, your way of thinking, or your way of life. I think we can understand our personality more concretely after we finish taking the test and see the results.
Knowing your type is finding the meaning of existence. You don't have to be afraid of your personality because it could fit in more than one type at different times. In addition, I think you can have confidence in yourself when you know your type because the result indicates your personality. I also think it helps to develop your strong points and your weak points. For example, according to the test, I like to keep the mood upbeat. I agree with this result. I'm happy to be this type and I could have confidence.
When you change your point of view, you can understand other personalities around you. To say the opposite, others can know you. I think that to know other's personality helps us to get along better now because we can know each other more deeply or we can easily understand others' behaviors. For example, we can cheer up someone more effectively when he or she feels sad or we can communicate smoother than before.
There are a lot of people in the world, and each one has a special personality. It's good for you to take a personality test. I think taking tests help people, so you can find your special personality.
