Sometimes my co-workers can be shallow, dishonest, unreliable, and generally fake when it comes to how they are at work. You can go into work one day and they are laughing and joking with you, and the next day they can be snapping at you and treating you like you murdered someone. I usually just deal with this at work, then go home and vent to my boyfriend about them. I never imagined that a simple test in a college class could change how I looked at my co-workers.

The letters in my personality type stand for Extrovert, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging. The first section of the Golden Personality Test represents where and how you focus your energy in life. This could either be as an Extrovert, or
