   What is your personality? It’s an interesting topic. In my case, at the first time, I look like a quiet and steady person. I really wonder about that. I’m short and just smiling, maybe look like so. But, It’s only first time. My friends say “Your image have changed a lot since I first met you”. I have been interested in personality when I heard it. Therefore, in this report, I’d like to consider about my personality.

According to the last personality test, I am a “innovator” person. This type has energetic and sensitive features. I agree this result. I’m curious and like to try new things. I belonged soft tennis club when I was junior high school student. However, I entered to pop music club at high school. And now, I am a member of student council at a college. Therefore, I think I’m energetic person. Also, I think I’m sensitive, too. I’m really moody. I feel depressed very easily, but I forget troubles after sleeping a lot.

However, this type has negative features. According to the result, this type has illogical and rebellious features. I want to deny this, but it’s true. I act first without thinking a lot. I follow my feeling. So, I’m not a logical person. Also, sometimes I’m rebellious to my parents.

Finally, I like to talk person, so I want to talk classmates a lot. Nice to meet you!

First of all, I’m pretty affectionate, whereas I suffer a lot sometimes. I’m quite gentle normally, you won’t be afraid of I will mad on you or say something harshness to you, but except when my son keeps playing the video game for a long time, then I will feel angry and will mad with him if he couldn’t stop after I remind him. Huh…

Unbelievable I regard myself as a quite curious person. I am curious about all of the things about the world, the universe, about human society and human life… everything. As a result, I am a person of wild interests.

As a whole, I am a very reliable person for my family and friends. Maybe I can’t satisfy all of their needs, but I will care about them and try my best to give them the help they most need. I always have the best wishes for them in my deep heart.

At last, I am quite spontaneous to do everything I like in my daily life, freely and to enjoy, however, as a person of a VIRGO, I have a tendency to be a perfectionist for those very “important” things for me. Be aware of this, I’ve successfully learnt to manage it to a reasonable extent consciously. Don’t take it too difficult, easy-going.

As a research, my personality is REALIST. But I do not think so. It says I am good at meeting deadlines, but honestly, I am not. I often late at the time especially with my friends, and I often late or do not submit my homework. Of course, I do not late the time or the date to submit something if it is really important. But when it is comfortable to late, or not important to do for me, I am not good at meeting deadline. Also it says I can be obsessed with schedules. I think that is probably right, because I like planning my schedule and thinking what to do. However, I cannot always do as my schedule. I am always satisfied with just making a plan.

But, some of them apply to me. For example, I think I am straightforward because many people say to me like that, and also I am glad if someone tells me like that. Also it says I may not have faith in other people’s abilities. Of course, I trust other people’s abilities, but if I feel that I am better than other people to do, I do myself without rely on other people. Sometimes I do that even though I feel it is not good.

It was very interesting to me because I never felt I am realist. It was a good opportunity to review my personality.

Kazuya

Hello, everyone. I'm Kazuya, from Japan. Nice to meet you. I'm going to write about my personality. There are three things. It is shy, sociable, and lazy.

Firstly, it's shy. Especially, I'm shy when I meet a people who have never met. At the time, I don't know what to say to the person. After I came here, I met many people. So I think I overcame it.

Secondly, it's sociable. I'm sociable when I hang out with my friends. I think I need to be sociable more.

Thirdly, it's lazy. I'm lazy when I have to do something. For example, it's homework. study for the exam. When I want to do something, I plan to do it. But I can't do it as planed. So I do homework just before the deadline.

As a result of personality test, my personality is idealist. I think the idealist has special feeling, and seeks a way of living that suits me. It is a little adventure and sounds fun, because I like to do something enjoyable.

According to test, I'm bright, forgiving and curious. They are almost correct. That is why I have generous heart, and I have never got angry for someone. Also, I have interest to something. If it sounds fun, I'm sure to try it. Additionally, I'm like easy-going, flexible and stubborn. I am always relaxed, and it is easy to feel comfortable in my new environment. However, sometimes, I prioritize what I want to do over what my friends want to do.

People have many different personalities. I also have good personalities and bad personalities. This essay will talk about my personality.
I have mainly three types of personality. First of all, I am conscientious. I think sometimes conscientious is nice but, sometimes it is not nice. In my childhood, my teacher said to us that we had to study at least for one hour every day and I studied hard. Therefore, I could learn many things based on that. However, I cannot think myself. When my mother said to me that you had to join a club activity of gymnastic, I decided to join that because my mother said so. If someone instruct me, I do that. I cannot think what I should do myself. Secondly, I am worrier. For example, when I take tests, I bring four or five pencils and tow watches. I think the all pencil and a watch is broken and I could not mark the test even I know the answer. Another example is that when I see movie in theater, I have to turn off my phone. Thus, I turn off my phone and check whether my phone turned off or not. However, my friend said to me I did not have to check many times and you worry about that too much. The third is lazy. I am not good at clean up my room. My father often says me I need to clean up my room. Also, I am always late for the appointment. I am about five or ten minutes late.  This is the worst personality and I want to alter the behavior.
In conclusion, I mainly lave three personalities. That is conscientious, worrier and lazy. These personalities have fine points and wrong points. I need to change the wrong behavior.

Everybody has their own personality, and I am not the exception. There are some positive characteristics that I should promote but there are also many negative ones that I should limit in the future.


In the aspect of social life and working, I believe that I am an independent person as I can manage my job and my housework myself. In almost all of challenging situations, I try to overcome without help or support from colleagues or family. You can also use the word "self-sufficient" to describe me. I realize that I have achieved a lot of success by this characteristic. However, I understand that this is not always good because sometimes you will get better results in the fields that are not your strength if you can receive support from other people who are good at that fields.


I also realize that I am a type of person who is efficient and thorough. When I am assigned any task, despite of the fact that how hard it is, I will try my best to find out the resolution which is best for all. My boss usually says that she feels very comfortable and completely believe in me when she asks me to do anything. To be honest, I was very happy and a little bit proud when being said that.


Sometimes, my friends say something like how smart I am. However, I think that I am not very bright. Sometimes I have to concentrate much to get the idea of something. The fact is that I can not remember well anything relating to numbers or signals, etc. But in some aspects, I believe I  can learn and remember very fast and for a long time.


If I had to choose one word to describe me, it would be "Mastermind". I really hope that I can control my negative characteristics so that I will be more successful in the future.

My result of quiz is ‘Nurturer’ which including gentle, conscientious and mature. I totally agree with these because I think these words can describe myself at least now.


First of all, I really want to improve my English language skill, therefore I have been studying English for recent year, and I keep studying day by day without pause, so I think I am conscientious by this time. Also, I am a gentleman, so I am calm and kind and hard to get angry, otherwise my wife won’t marry me, thus ‘gentle’ describes me very exactly.  The last but not least, ‘mature’-I have two adorable children, a boy and a baby girl, I take care of them every day without any complain, and just the opposite, I feel full of happiness. Consequently, I think I am a steady and reliable person who are sensible, considerate and my family can really rely on me.


On the other hand, I may have trouble making decisions that could hurt other and sometimes I tend to avoid some conflict, so others might take advantage of me, but I am not quite sure and not really mind about that.


Anyway, that is me. Welcome to chat with me, I don’t bite. Haha~
If you read this, have a really nice day !
Sharing you my lovey photos, you are welcome!!

Hi


As per personality test result which I did  and my profile came out as a BIG THINKER
It was analysed as a talkative, curious, logical, self-sufficient, ingenious, bored by routine, can be rude, rebellious and critical of others kind of person.


Looking at it, I do have a positive qualities and also negative qualities and I do  agree with all of it.
To know me better, I can't stand a person who is selfish and a bully and by these it always trigger my unfavourable qualities which is rudeness and criticising others.
Most of the time I am quiet because I am a quiet person

I had never think about what is my nature personality seriously until I finished the test last night. The test proofs me to be a nurturer. Interestingly, the description of nurturer sounds like me a lot.

First of all, I am a nurturer in some aspects. I love children, I get along with most children I met quite well even though I do not have my own child now (There is no doubts that I will have lovely children in the near future). In addition, I am gentle most time. I am careful and always caring about others.  I won’t hurt anyone around me so sometime is difficult for me to make decisions. Warm-hearted, the most frequent praise word I have ever heard from others, is the core characteristic of my personality. I am also conscientious, I work hard, and I prefer to prepare anything ahead to make sure things will always run in the right way step by step. 

The only feature describes in the textbook that do not match me is mature. I am not mature enough for my age and this becomes one of my weakness. I prefer to stay alone or with people familiar to me rather than go outside and meet new friends. I can hardly to get used to new environment, heavily work pressure and I tends to escape from these troublesome things sometimes.  I even stand still for a long time without any progress in a special and unfamiliar stage of my life.

Shutaro Endo


 
            I’m Shutaro Endo. My personality is Provider. Provider is sympathetic, easy-going and steady. In addition, It is caring, traditional, tend to avoid conflict and not afraid to express your belief. I almost agree with it. However, I agree and disagree with traditional. I have a reason why I do so.

            Textbook said provider is traditional, but I cannot understand the meaning of “traditional”. If it means those who are typical character in my country, I’m so. This is because I am a little bit shy and do not tell someone all of my feelings like most of Japanese. On the other hand, if it means those who wear traditional clothes or speak old language, I’m definitely not! I have never wore kimono and had katana.

            In my opinion, I am so typical Japanese. I’m conscientious and not talkative. I like to help someone if they lost their way in station or street. However, I tend to avoid trying to do new things and cannot try to talk to new people.






Chien from VNA



Hi everyone, I’m Chien. I’m working for Vietnam Airlines at the moment. I am happy with my job now, and what is more I’m enjoying very much this English study trip which our company send me to.

Today, I have just taken my personality test through discussion with partners at class to find out who I am. It’s quite interesting to discover what my true personality is. According to the Test result, I am an idealist who is spontaneous, ideal focused, feeling based, and introverted. In general, I think the short test reflects who I am correctly. I’d rather play it by ear than prepare a careful plan for things except for something that is important. I see myself as down to earth, forgiving, curious, flexible, and a bit rebellious person. I just cannot get angry with someone for a long time and just let bygones be bygones after a while.

So that’s pretty much about me. Let’s understand each other better through our class’s blog.
Cheers,
Chien

In the last personality test I found out that I am a strategist. People who they have this kind of personality, usually they have many types of adjectives. For example I see myself a logical person and an individualistic. Also I like to be an a easy-going and sometimes I feel I am a sarcastic man .However , there are some negative adjectives for that . such as intellectually curious or sarcastic .In the last personality test that we have done ,I found out that you should be honest while you are  answering this questions because, you will not find the right description for your personality. Actually, strategist people have a good personality because, they are trying to find or solve a problems in a logical ways . In addition , they prefer to not talk so much or to be quiet because , as I mention before they are an individualist . those people are flexible and most of their time is relaxing.

Description of my personality.
The best description of my personality is introvert. Although I am introvert, when I have to interact with others I do. I prefer staying alone or staying with a few people and I have a tendency to avoid being a part of a big group.
According to the textbook, I am cut out for a counsellor since I am gentle, peaceful and cautious but I am not sure if I am so. Someday I want to be outgoing and reliable too.
