It's a personality test... sm

Posted By: D on 2005-12-06

It is the Meyer-Briggs personality test. There are four componts that show how you relate to the world.  Take the test.  When you get your results, do a Google search to find a description.  I've taken several Meyers-Briggs tests, and I always come up an INFP.  I've read the descriptions of my personality, and I think it is dead-on right. 


First Letter:  I or E, which stands for introversion or extroversion


Second Letter:  N or S, which stands for intuition or sensory


Third Letter:  T or F, which stands for thinking or feeling


Fourth Letter:  P or J, which stands for perceiving or judging

I love piggies! They have such personality. :) nm

I really like Elliott, but personality may be his downfall.
NO WAY for McPhee, too pitchy.

Gotta love Taylor, too. Lots of show quality. WOO-HOO!
Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder...

You just described my ex, and he has passive aggressive personality disorder and oppositional defiant disorder. 


Here's a description:  http://www.toad.net/%7Earcturus/dd/papd.htm.


I would also recommend reading "Why Does He Do That?  Inside The Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" by Lundy Bancroft.  You can buy it at Barnes and Noble and amazon.com.


My ex loves to annoy people for the fun of it.  The only way you can get him to do anything is to tell him not to do it.  And, of course, he is extremely controlling.  It is just my opinion, but I think that people with these types of personality problems just shouldn't be married to anyone.  Every time my ex gets a new girlfriend, I really just want to give the poor girl a hug.  If your husband has this type of personality, you really should divorce him.  Life is just too short to spend it with someone who makes everyone around them miserable.


They say that this is the most difficult personality disorder to live with..

My therapist said that of all the personality disorders/mental illnesses, this is the one that is the most difficult to live with, and I think that it even mentions that in the diagnostic criteria.  Once my ex was diagnosed, a huge weight lifted off of me, and I no longer felt so much anger and frustration.  I can't tell you how good it feels AFTER you divorce someone like this.  Suddenly the world just seems wonderful when you don't have to deal with them anymore.


 


 


Good grief...multiple personality disorder???

I completely disagree. Taylor is very marketable. He has charm, personality and CAN SING!

In her case, I'm guessing personality or mental disorder. After all, they are pretty common. NM

It's a test in progress to measure what MTs know and what type of test to give for the SM
different levels of MTs.  It's over $90.  That's a lot of money to pay to someone who is giving these tests for research as to what type of testing should be done for the different levels of MT.  The AAMT will probably take the results and make a test that they can give in India or the Phillipines or some other foreign country. 
tuning fork test: Is it about a hearing test? .See inside
A whisper is about 20 dB
Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 to 120 dB
A jet engine is about 140 to 180 dB

Hope I could help
Not a medical typing test but this website can test you..

It's called www.typingtest.com


Atleast it will give you an idea.. Sadly, I had to take it twice before I passed it LOL


Why would they do a microalbumin test when she has the period? A lot of test s will come out wrong

Neer's test is a shoulder impingement test

Don't think that has to do with the knee.  How about "bucket handle tear" of the knee?  Never heard of Neer having anything to do with the knee. 


happens quite often i would test again or go see your GYN for blood test which is more accurate

Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it. 
Yeah a 30 minute test---work for free, he gets enough to test, his work is done - nm

Or maybe that in itself IS the test! It's really an ethics test, LOL. nm

And a test

Wondering how many companies this is set up for....


HealthScribe, Avicis, Spheris, MQ, TRS, Medware, others?

You really should not be asking for help if this is a test sm
If this is a test for school or employment, it really should be done by you. It is not a fair test if someone else does it for you.  If this is not a test, please clarify and maybe people will help, but I think it is cheating otherwise.
test, this is only a test. nm

If this don't work, I'll quit.


If this is just a test then (sm)
why don't you just pick something...like @@@ or ??? or *** or something like that...leave it for where you find it inaudible, and when you send back your test just tell them. You could do ___inaudible___...anything. Just let them know when you send the test back. If you were actually working, then you'd go by the account specifics for how leave a blank, but for a test, just pick something appropriate and let them know.
We have to test because there have been....sm
too many times that people claimed they were transcriptionists, or could do a certain work type, only to find out they couldn't and were bluffing.  Testing is the only way to tell if an applicant has any knowledge or not.  Resumes don't always tell what their true skill level is. 
That's the best way for a co to test you because they never know if someone sm
is having someone else take a written test for them. The best way to test and just as accurate as mega transcription tests is oral phone testing. That way, it comes from what is in the person's head of what they know
test
Don't feel bad....I've been an MT for 24 years, & failed 2 tests, but passed several others.

Yes, and it's $95 to test for it...

I cannot imagine what they will come up with next!  Obviously AAMT is in a crisis financially and is trying to dig their way out.  Why would anyone desire this bogus, worthless designation? 


I'm thinking of offering  an "SMT" for only 10 bucks . . . and NO TEST!!!  What do you think???


Oh, what is "SMT?"  That would be Smart Medical Transcriptionist, of course!!!! 


To test him I'd say

Gee honey, I'd don't want to disappoint the children again.  Maybe next time we'll suprise you instead. 


I wonder what his reaction would be to that!

Okay. Just took this test - got a 136

TEST
I did a 3 EPT's all were positive with lines that were hard to read and yes the lines took a few minutes to show and a blood test at the doctors office which confirmed, by the time you spend money on pregnancy tests you can go to your doctor and pay a 10.00 copay and get a result... just an idea !!! I'm officially 7 weeks !!!!!
Probably a different test.
AAMT likely won't flunk many of them. They wouldn't want to scare away the hordes of potential buyers of their BOS and CMT certification.
Who can take CMT test?

I am just curious if I live in Canada, would I be allowed to take the CMT test ? or is it just strictly for american MT's? Would it benefit me as a IC ?

CMT self-test

I just took the 60-question self-assessment test. A passing grade is 51/60.  After 16 years of acute care experience, I got 43/60 correct.  That blows my mind!


I'm asking myself 'who needs this' ???


We can't help you take a test. You just have to do the best you can.
That's all any testee can do. After all, we aren't applying for the job. They expect you to leave blanks where you can't get something.
just a test to see if I can get

a post to go up here.  Last time I tried, I messed up royally somehow. 


JUST A TEST
X
before you test
Purchase Stedman's Ophthalmology Words before you test.
It is one test....
They give you a 6-hour allowance for the entire sitting.

You go in, give your ID, are shown to your test computer, given brief instructions on headset, etc.

Sign into the test site on the computer. Take a little instructional demo and practice. When you're ready, you start the test.

First, just questions (objective portion), like 120 or so of them. Multiple choice mostly (maybe all of them are mx choice - I can't remember now, lol).

When you complete that part, you get to review any you marked for later review, answer them, verify all of your answers and submit that part.

Computer asks you if you want a break. Take it or not. Start the performance part.

Performance part is about 60 (I think, geez - my memory now, lol) snips of dictation where you either transcribe the whole snip, fill in a blank on transcription provided for the snip, or listen to the snip and decide which pre-transcribed piece is more accurately typed. A few have no snips to listen to -just choose the correct transcription (look at spelling, punctuation, grammar, medical terms, etc.).

Then you're done.

Took me 1 hour and I missed 2 on the entire exam.

try this little test
Try this test. Put your thumb in your fist, and then try to move your fist laterally while holding your arm and wrist straight. If you get a shooting pain, then it could be DeQuervain's tenosynovitis. I have that and I wear a neoprene glove at night that just has a thumb in it and no fingers. You can check out the symptoms of it online. Hope it helps.

I actually refuse to do that much testing anymore. I always ask what the pay is before i even bother. Some companies actually respect you when you say you will not do all 4 typing tests. I think this is absolutely ridiculous! Don't waste your time unless you know if its a place where you would even like to work by knowing pay, etc.
just take the test
really, just complete it.  It is completely frustrating, I know, but like my previous post says, it is a TEST - to see what you'll do, how you'll handle it.  If you refuse to do it compared to others who took it, stuck it out, and blanked it all over the place, at least they gave it an honest stab.  MTs who say they demand this and that before testing and refuse to test if they don't give information might be letting a good job go.  When I become demanding is after I've tested and they see what I am capable of - that's when I demand what I'm worth.  Of course, if they say off the bat they are paying less than what I'm willing to accept, I politely refuse to take their test.  Some won't tell you until after you've tested to see where you'd fall in their range of pay. 
CMT Test
Can anyone clarify something for me.  I have an authorization to test and when I called the testing center, there are supposedly 2 parts, B and C and the total cost being 345.  I was under the impression it was all 1 test and right now had a reduced rate for members of 150.  I called ADHI and left a message but have not heard back.  Am so confused because the testing center says I have to pay 345 or they cannot schedule any of it.  Does anyone have any current info?
You could take the test here.

Does anyone know of no test?
Does anyone know of any companies that do not test to hire a new MT?  I know Spheris doesn't, but am just curious if there are anymore.
I just took a test like that sm

They said to allow 3 hours and I took just over an hour to do it.  I was so tired from just this sort of testing, I didn't even check the transcription portion over.  I sent it and said to heck with this, I am tired!!!  I heard back the next day, was offered the job at the highest line rate they pay. It was fine, but while I was typing all those ESL test reports I thought I'd scream.  I feel your pain.

TRS Test
Do you have to have a foot pedal to test with TRS? Several years ago I took a test for a couple of companies that did not require a foot pedal to test. I think I used the arrow keys and it was a pain; however, it did work.

Thanks.
test
yes, it was for an online test.
CMT TEST
I took the CMT test for myself and I am VERY PROUD to have CMT after my name.  I have been in the industry 20+ years and I am very proud of my work.  I urge you to take the test for yourself and be proud of your accomplishment.  It is a difficult test to be sure, but one you should have no difficulty with after 30 years in the industry.  I personally plan to pursue a RHIT or RHIM certification next (or both)....  I learn something new every day and I strive to better myself for myself.  Good luck in whatever you choose.
