Personality factors + Test.

An important part of learn languages are personality factors.

Factors as self-esteem, anxiety, emotional and cognitive state, etc. could be the reason of our learning skills. If we don’t take risks at the moment of facing a situation that requires to talk in English or even in a conversation with friends using the language, our learning and feedback will be slower or null.

It doesn’t matter if you are shy in this case, because if you got an accurate opinion and use correct forms on conversation you will be learning and using your skills too. On the other hand if you are an outgoing person who doesn’t know how to speak well but you try to do it even making mistakes, it will be a great chance to get feedback and improve your English with your partners, teachers or native speakers in some cases.

Myer - Briggs test Results

· moderately expressed extravert 33%

· moderately expressed intuitive personality 50%

· moderately expressed feeling personality 50%

· slightly expressed judging personality 11%

On my opinion, I think the test is a great chance to know a part of yourself or maybe get answers about our personality, but (there’s always a but) we have to consider in tests, that they could or not be effectives or exacts, because people in general are always changing.

In my case, the results above describes pretty much exactly that who i am or better said who I am in this moment of my life.

    Don't forget that we design an administer a test for a specific purpose. I remember saying in class that it was very important to specify what personality factor was explored in each question and how to interpret the results.
