I\u2019ve taken several, and I often bring it up in <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/conversation-starters-singapore\/\">conversation<\/a>. In particular, my favourites are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myersbriggs.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Myers-Briggs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enneagraminstitute.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Enneagram<\/a> assessments. I proudly identify as the thoughtful and imaginative INFJ, and the peace-loving Enneagram type nine. So, when a friend nudged me to try out Dimensional\u2019s personality test (an <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-lifestyle-apps-singapore\/\">app<\/a> that measures over two hundred traits across different dimensions), I was on board.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, so were many others. In the last couple of weeks, I\u2019ve seen plenty of friends post their Dimensional results on social media. It tells you everything from your calling in life to your worst habits in love. The app even has a function that allows you to add other people and compare your results with theirs. A close colleague of mine peeked at my page to find our core identities are 99% similar. Freaky!<\/p>\n<p>It made me wonder why we adore taking personality tests so much. What exactly do these results mean in the grand scheme of things? Are there any dangers or limitations that come with following them too closely? I speak to career and psychology experts to find out.<\/p>\n<h3>A little backstory on the OG personality test<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258713\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258713\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-258713 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Brett-Jordan-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"dimensional personality test app\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Brett-Jordan-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Brett-Jordan-via-Pexels-1400x1000.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Brett-Jordan-via-Pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Brett-Jordan-via-Pexels-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Brett-Jordan-via-Pexels.jpg 1555w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258713\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Brett Jordan via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s something you probably didn\u2019t know: the very first personality test was developed back in 1919 during World War I. Known as the Woodworth&#8217;s Personal Data Sheet, its purpose was to suss out war enlistees who\u2019d be susceptible to nervous breakdowns or shell shock. This trickled down into the workforce, and other variations of the test were used to help individuals uncover potential career paths and improve relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, more than 2,500 other personality tests, quizzes and questionnaires have popped up around the world. Outside of work, they\u2019re also applied in other contexts like relationship counselling, clinical psychology, and even in educational institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Fun fact: I first took the Myers-Briggs personality test back in secondary school. It said writing would be a suitable career path for me. Voila! Thirteen years later, here I am.<\/p>\n<h3>Why we love quizzes like the Dimensional personality test<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258685\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258685\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-258685 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Hannah-Busing-via-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"dimensional personality test app\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Hannah-Busing-via-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Hannah-Busing-via-unsplash-1400x1000.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Hannah-Busing-via-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Hannah-Busing-via-unsplash.jpg 1411w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258685\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Hannah Busing via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, why do we love personality tests? It\u2019s simple. We\u2019re a little\u2026 <em>self-obsessed<\/em>. And that\u2019s not always a bad thing. \u201cPeople are intensely interested in themselves. They like when there\u2019s readily available information out there that can tell them who they are and what they should do,\u201d explains psychotherapist Maria Micha of <a href=\"https:\/\/mariamicha.com.sg\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Maria Micha Counselling Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because being self-aware can help us in many areas of our lives. This includes our problem-solving abilities, the ways we cope with stress, how we react to conflict and interact with others. <a href=\"https:\/\/psychologyblossom.com\/syaza-hanafi\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Syaza Hanafi<\/a>, a clinical psychologist at <a href=\"https:\/\/psychologyblossom.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Psychology Blossom<\/a>, explains that aside from giving us perspective on who we are, these tests also help us make sense of our place in this world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe love finding out what makes us special and unique as individuals. But we\u2019re also curious about how we fit into society,\u201d she says. \u201cStudies have found that in friendships and romantic relationships, individuals are attracted to others with very similar personalities. It fosters a sense of connectedness and belonging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You might find a lot of the people you surround yourself with have a personality type that\u2019s close to yours. My best friends from university and polytechnic are all mostly introverted like me. And a quick chat with my editor revealed that almost everyone on the lovely Honeycombers\u2019 editorial team identifies with the INFJ and INFP personality types.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the old adage that suggests opposites attract might not be so accurate.<\/p>\n<h3>Personality tests in a professional setting<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258686\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258686\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-258686 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Mikhail-Nilov-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"dimensional personality test app \" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Mikhail-Nilov-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Mikhail-Nilov-via-Pexels.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Mikhail-Nilov-via-Pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Mikhail-Nilov-via-Pexels-1536x1097.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258686\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Mikhail Nilov via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You probably stumbled across the Dimensional personality test (or other introspective quizzes) through recommendations from a friend \u2013 as I did. But these questionnaires aren\u2019t just useful conversation starters at social gatherings. Just like the original personality test, some expert career coaches and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/questions-to-ask-hr-you-might-be-afraid-of\/\">HR managers<\/a> still use them in the modern workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Yogeswary D\/O Nithiah Nandan, career coach at <a href=\"https:\/\/e2i.com.sg\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">e2i (Employment and Employability Institute)<\/a>, shares that they carry out such assessments to help jobseekers find the right career based on their interests and personality. She explains that jobseekers who are self-aware tend to have more confidence in who they are and can secure a better employment fit. \u201cIndividuals often experience a higher level of job satisfaction when they take on roles related to their personality. It results in better work output and increased productivity,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>In some job interviews, you may even be asked to fill in a personality test. And it\u2019s not just to find out if you\u2019ll be a good fit for the team culture. Sometimes it&#8217;s to ensure they\u2019ve got enough of a variety of minds on the team to push the organisation forward. Your personality type may be exactly what they\u2019re lacking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery business leader should recognise the benefits of having different personality types in the organisation to promote neurodiversity,\u201d says Lim Chai Leng, general manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randstad.com.sg\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Randstad Singapore<\/a>. \u201cIt can help drive creativity and innovation, as they\u2019re able to share different perspectives or new solutions to old challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He adds that even in circumstances where tests aren\u2019t used, hiring managers are trained to assess personality traits by asking scenario-based questions in interviews. But if you\u2019re worried you\u2019ll lose out on opportunities because of shyness or a \u2018bad\u2019 test result, don\u2019t fret! \u201cPersonality tests serve more to understand the individual\u2019s working style and they are not an opportunity to judge their character,\u201d Chai Leng assures.<\/p>\n<p>So you don\u2019t have to worry too much \u2013 <em>unless you\u2019re truly an unpleasant person to work with<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>Why personality tests can be limiting<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258687\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258687\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-258687 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-Felicia-Buitenwerf-via-Unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"dimensional personality test app\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-Felicia-Buitenwerf-via-Unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-Felicia-Buitenwerf-via-Unsplash.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-Felicia-Buitenwerf-via-Unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-Felicia-Buitenwerf-via-Unsplash-1536x1097.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Felicia Buitenwerf via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As you can see, taking a personality test comes with plenty of benefits \u2013 from helping us find our place in this world to connecting us with like-minded individuals. But we should be careful about how we apply the results to our lives.<\/p>\n<p>For one, these tests can be flawed because they\u2019re not scientifically proven. While they\u2019re a fun way to learn more about ourselves, they\u2019re not the most reliable and can&#8217;t encapsulate the depth of our identities. Our personalities are far more complex and varied in real life. They\u2019re also ever-changing depending on the events we experience. For example, the death of a close family member or a traumatic accident can alter our personalities dramatically.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not the same people we were 10 years ago, and we won\u2019t be the same individuals 10 years into the future. When we depend too heavily on personality tests, it limits us from seeking new experiences that can change us for the better. We may end up reaching for what reinforces our current belief system instead of allowing ourselves to try new things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn psychology, this is known as confirmation bias. You can see why this may be limiting,\u201d Syaza says. \u201cThe question then becomes: are you introverted because you don\u2019t like to go out? Or do you not like to go out because you\u2019ve identified yourself as an introvert?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maria shares that this is how individuals can face a stunt in their personal growth. Especially if they choose to only be surrounded by people like themselves. \u201cMost of us gravitate to people who are like us. But if we don\u2019t learn to expand our horizons, we lack the opportunity to learn from others,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<h3>Using personality tests the right way<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258688\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258688\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-258688 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Nataliya-Vaitkevich-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"dimensional personality test app\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Nataliya-Vaitkevich-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Nataliya-Vaitkevich-via-Pexels.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Nataliya-Vaitkevich-via-Pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/dimensional-personality-test-app-Nataliya-Vaitkevich-via-Pexels-1536x1097.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Nataliya Vaitkevich via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, it\u2019s looking kinda bleak. But wait, before you delete Dimensional off your phone and scrub your browser history of all quiz sites, there\u2019s a right way to use personality tests without the negative effects.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re really interested in self-improvement, here\u2019s what you can do. \u201cTake your results to a proper clinical psychologist or counsellor, and let them assess if it is indeed real or just a fake picture of your personality,\u201d Maria advises.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t stop at \u2018the knowing\u2019. Take action. \u201cWork towards the results that you want \u2013 whether that\u2019s your behaviour, the feelings you want to experience, or the relationships you would like to have in your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I love the Dimensional personality test and all the ways it&#8217;s helped me understand myself. However, maybe it\u2019s time to pull back a little before I start letting it define who I really am. This means I may have to (unfortunately) stop starting conversations with strangers with \u201cHey, what\u2019s your personality type?\u201d.
