Human beings are complicated animals, which means it usually needs to take a long time for two strangers clearly know each other's personalities. However, when people go to a company for an interview, what methods do those companies use, in order to quickly find out if the interviewee’s personality can fit the position requirement? The answer is the personality test.

Which personality test is worth taking? Fascination advantage test is one kind of personality test created by Sally Hogshead. Sally believes people do not have to change who they are, they just need to find out their advantages and make it more successful. The test only has 28 questions and takes about just 5 minutes to finish. Based on the answers you selected, you will be able to learn your fascinating advantages and how to apply them to your careers. The results are combined with your primary and second advantage and based on those two to find out your dormant advantages.

Personal feel about the fascinating test? The result showed my archetype is the orchestrator. The explanation shows how other people see an orchestrator's personality which is about command attention and understanding the people inspires others to reach the goal.

The primary and secondary advantages I get are now very surprised me, they are Passion and Alert. Passion includes strong emotional connections, expressive communications, professional style interaction, and inspire people to involved in advocation. The secondary advantage alert includes awareness of all situations, create swift action, avoid negative surprises, and expect high-quality results.

The reason I was not surprised by the primary and secondary results is that in my past internships and work experiences, I always have similar evaluate from my co-workers or leaders. This result is kind of accurately described my current position in the workspace, so I give a positive to this test. However, The one thing that kind of surprised me is my dormant advantage, innovation. it only happened when I am working on something but cannot be successful, so I have to spend all my energy to get out of this quicksand.

From this fascination test, I definitely learned a little bit more about myself, and accept the result. But like I mentioned at the beginning, everyone is a complicated animal, the way we express our personality may still be changed under different situations. Always learn more about ourselves, because one day when you trying to start a business, it can help you to know which kind of person your team is missing.
