Detailed assessment which gives you a short summary of your personality type.http://theentrepreneurnextdoor.com/tests/ampm_abridged.html
Your Personality Type:
Maverick
Your free spirit and outgoing nature makes you the Maverick. You are not interested in following society's dictates - you prefer to think for yourself. While you have conviction in your personal beliefs, you are willing to try almost anything once. Your imaginative exploits rarely entail acting completely irresponsibly - you know your boundaries. You have an outgoing and gregarious nature, and you enjoy spending time with a variety of people. You tend to be fairly stable emotionally, and are generally a pleasant person to be around.
Introduction
Based on the Five Factor Model credited to Goldberg, Costa and McRae, the Advanced
Multidimensional Personality Matrix (AMPM) is a comprehensive personality assessment designed
to provide you with valuable insight into your character, aptitudes, and disposition. The AMPM is
based on the theory that all human personality traits belong to one of five broad dimensions of
personality. Using factor analysis, a technique that reduces a set of characteristics into a smaller
number of underlying factors, personality psychologists discovered that five recurring factors
seemed to encompass all others.
The first three factors established were Emotional Stability, Extraversion, and Openness. Emotional
Stability refers to calmness, confidence, and emotional security, whereas Extroversion refers to an
external orientation and an interactive and socially engaged nature. Openness suggests curiosity,
imagination, and flexibility. The additional two factors that form the big five are Agreeableness and
Conscientiousness. Agreeableness refers to good-naturedness, sincerity, and likeability, and
Conscientiousness refers to careful, productive, rule-abiding behavior.
Each of the five main personality traits stretches along a continuum. For example, you will not be
designated as Agreeable or Disagreeable, but somewhere in between on a normal distribution. The
personality traits tested in the questionnaire are consistent cross-culturally, and are fairly stable
over time, beginning in young adulthood. An understanding of your position on each dimension can
provide you with valuable insight into your personality.
Conscientiousness
Conscientiousness refers to a competency and productivity orientation. High scorers in
conscientiousness are orderly, rational, and focused. They have high standards and rarely fail to
meet them. High scorers in conscientiousness are hard working, productive, and goal-oriented.
They are generally rule-oriented and cautious, and never careless. Low scorers in
conscientiousness are laid-back, less orderly, and not as concerned about achievement. They are
usually less responsible and not as well organized as high scorers. They may be more carefree and
less concerned about following strict rules.
Diligence. You can be extremely focused and determined when you put your mind to it.
When necessary, you complete your tasks and goals on time. At other times, you are
casual and fail to persevere in your projects. You don't always take pride in your work.
Organization. You are disorderly and disorganized. You do not live by systems, and keep
no records or files for future reference. You often leave tasks incomplete, pay bills late, and
estimate time incorrectly. You are not concerned about time management or punctuality,
and you rarely keep an agenda or day timer. You never make plans too far in advance, and
may be seen by others as scattered.
Dependability. You always do what you say you will do. Coworkers and friends alike can
count on you to keep your word, and to do a complete and thorough job at any task. You
are reliable and loyal, and you always keep your promises.
Attention to Detail. While you don't always catch every single detail, you are fairly
meticulous. You try to tie up all loose ends before declaring a project complete, and you
often catch errors that others missed.
Efficiency. You are a somewhat efficient person. Although you don't always complete your
tasks in the most time-effective manner, you do seek to implement shortcuts into your day,
in order to increase efficiency. You may have difficulty prioritizing at times, but you rarely
waste too much time, energy, or material.
Self-Discipline. You are moderately self-disciplined. While you are usually able to
overcome reluctance for unpleasant tasks, at times you fail to motivate yourself to
accomplish your goals. You sometimes allow barriers such as fatigue and boredom to push
you off track.
Self-Confidence
Do you have faith in your ability to meet challenges? Do you know the areas in which you shine?
The secrets to self-confidence are self-acceptance and acknowledgement of personal strengths.
While some people are brilliant in mathematics, the same people couldn't hit a middle C if they
tried. The key is to emphasize your strengths, and avoid comparing yourself to others. Most people
who lack self-confidence fail to acknowledge their successes, choosing to focus only on their
failures. Try breaking difficult tasks into smaller steps, and congratulate yourself for each success.
This will allow you to recognize your achievements. Secondly, surround yourself with people who
contribute to your self-confidence and affirm your self-worth. Avoid people who bring you down,
and bear in mind that a lot of blame and criticism probably come from within. Take steps to identify
and reduce negative self-talk, and watch your self-confidence soar!
Energy Level
To increase your energy level, ensure proper nutrition and adequate sleep. These two factors
combine to create low energy in a lot of people - it is impossible to keep up your spirits and energy
level when you are tired or unwell. Secondly, choose a new activity that excites you - enthusiasm
can be contagious, and will spread easily to the rest of your life. Finally, research has demonstrated
that simply acting more energetic can increase your energy level. Moving around quickly
accelerates your heartbeat, and gets your brain working faster. If you can ignore your natural
tendency toward under-stimulation, your body will follow your lead and pick up the pace.
Your Personality Type:
Quiet Leader
Your introverted nature, emotional strength, self-discipline and acceptance of others make you the Quiet Leader. Your genuine kindness and sincerity endears you to those who know you. Your steady emotions and solid confidence are admirable. You are capable of deep thought and consideration of issues; your insatiably curious mind and love of learning make you a reservoir of information. You have a small circle of close friends, and they often look to you as a role model and for advice. You enjoy giving to others, and your empathy and altruism do not go unnoticed. Your emotional stability and ability to give to others are gifts. You are also extremely conscientious - others can always count on you to follow through on your promises and to do your best. You are able to lead others in a very unassuming way.
