Introduction
Knowing the results of the IPIP-NEO test is useful in order to correctly understand one’s mental state and understand how a person’s personality is perceived by society. This test measures five basic human parameters: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness (Smith et al., 2022). After passing the test, this allows to objectively assess how each component in all of the listed aspects is developed in the human psyche and character. Thus, taking the test is useful because it allows you to get to know yourself better.
Main body
Test results can accurately reflect the internal state of a person. In my case, I agree with the data received since, to a greater extent, they showed me what I expected to see during the passage. At the same time, having received feedback from the Sample Personality Results Report, I would not be surprised by my results since few of the received parameters diverge. It seems to me that the data can help me better understand my personality.
Thus, feedback about the results and their analysis could cause mixed emotions in me, depending on the amount of unexpected results (Kajonius & Johnson, 2019). One of these could be a low level of imagination since this characteristic was more relevant to me than the test showed.
Conclusion
If the test is carried out in order to receive treatment, then the diagnosis may depend on the results. In this case, passing the test can help to better identify the possible causes of psychological problems that a person has (Maples-Keller et al., 2019). Taking into account the results, a doctor can model and predict a person’s reaction to any action or event. The test can be of a great help in diagnosing mental disorders as it also shows levels of anxiety, depression, and predispositions in communication and relationships with people. These indicators are important data for the analysis of why the disorder appeared.
