Take one of the tests. How does this website connect with chapter 3?

This website connects to chapter 3 because it deals with organization and stereotyping. I took two different tests, one dealing with disabled vs. abled symbols, etc., and one dealing with black vs. white in association with weapons. Both of these are designed to detect a preference in association of each category.

Take the test. Determine your personality temperament. How will this test help you with personal relationships? Jobs? Any other observations?

My personality temperament, according to the website, is “Idealist”. This test could help me with personal relationships by helping me know how to interact with others, or help others interact with me in order to have harmonious relationships. If I can better understand how my own personality operates, I can better understand how to react to others.

This test could also help with jobs, because it can help me focus on finding a job that would work better with my temperament. I can also explain my temperament to my superiors to help them understand why I do things a certain way. In that case, my boss and I, together with these results, can find a position for me that will create the best work environment, which would result in the most productivity.

What is your empathy quotient? Are you surprised? Why or why not?

My empathy quotient is 40. I was slightly surprised by this. I was especially surprised, and also saddened, to find out that I was on the lower end of the average group. I would have guessed myself to be most likely still average, but a higher scoring average. I know that I am not the most empathetic person, but I also think that I have a fairly decent ability to empathize with others.
