2-4 Self Concept

My strengths that was very strong within all my interpersonal styles were that we care about others and their needs. I can say that goes along well with me because I jump in and help others in need any occasions. Another great point is our responsible to our duties and punctuality that we have along with it. This is totally

Identifying and understanding your own personal strengths is key to being a successful leader. Knowing your strengths means you can focus your efforts to maximize results, in yourself and in others. Strengths Finder 2.0 is designed to uncover your strengths and utilize these strengths to your advantage (Rath, 2007). Identifying and applying these strengths to your leadership style, will enhance your effectiveness as a transformational leader.

In this summary I will present the parallels I discovered between the results of my assessment and the personality traits I feel I possess. I will also present my strengths and weaknesses as they relate to each personality type code, E, N, F, and J, and how my preferences in how I think and behave, can both positively and negatively impact my environment.

Other strengths that I exhibit include being structured, responsible, articulate, task-oriented, determined, confident, effective planner, visionary, and possessing the ability to manage resources effectively. Being structured allows me to set parameters that we can all work within to achieve the overall company goals. Structure builds bonds and a sense of cohesiveness in the workplace. This type of unity will be necessary for the success of the organization. We can all work towards common goals if clear goals are outlined for everyone. The other strengths will all work together as well.

As requested, I took the Jung Typology Assessment. The results revealed my personality to be ISFJ (Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging). The first characteristic listed is the desires to serve others. An ISFJ is loyal, sometimes taken for granted, bad at delegating, but produces superior quality work. Methodical, accurate, and possess an excellent memory are more characteristics of the ISFJ personality type. They work well in a small group and make reliable coworkers; however, they tend to be awkward in a supervisory capacity. Not only is an ISFJ a great employee but they are extremely family oriented and dedicated to their intimate group of friends. If a friend or family member is in need of emotional support an ISFJ is by their side without

Personal strengths are attributes that come naturally and easy to yourself. When I think of my own personal strengths I think of determination, leadership, and passion.

Personality assessments can serve as a powerful and impactful tool that benefits the participants or others with whom your paths may cross. Inevitably, taking assessments like this requires self-awareness in order to maximize the value of the results. In this case, the McGraw-Hill assessment covered a wide array of topics which provided an extensive assessment of my values, personality style, motivational influences and contributing factors that drive my behaviors (McGraw-Hill Education, 2017). This evaluation offered me personal insights on how I behave in various situations, the impact my behavior may have on others, additional context around my personality traits and style, and organizational considerations that may influence my actions,

On the NC State Career Center website, I choice Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test and it determines my personality from a questionnaire. My results were extravert (1%), sensing (1%), feeling (3%), and judging (16%). I was not surprised with my result because management is under ESFJ Career Choices and it involves with what I want to do in the future. I noticed that I like to work with a lot of people and I am always responsible for critical tasks in the past.

After completing the “Determining Your Personality Style” assessment, I was shocked with my result because it plainly described me. According to my assessment my personality style is Amiable; a person who wants to know “why?”, Wants to build relationships, loves to give others support and attention, values suggestions from others, fears losing trust, dislike disagreements with others, displays her emotions, and somewhat introverted. I also discovered that as an amiable person, my strengths are, supportive, patient, and diplomatic. I am not quite aware know my strengths and what I tend to see mostly are my weaknesses and mistakes, which scares me when confronted with the question, “tell me about yourself.” However, I am glad I did this assessment because it made me realise that in all my weaknesses and mistakes I still have strengths. Now I can boldly tell someone my strengths. Nonetheless, there are still some signs of weaknesses in me. The assessment said, “there is a great saying ‘your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness’’.” As a leader, I need to be able to access all the personality styles because I will be dealing with different kinds of people and situations that demand leaders with a certain type of personality style. For example, I can’t efficiently lead a team of drivers if I’m an amiable person. So to develop other personality styles I will start doing the following;

Based on the work of Carl Jung, Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs developed the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, a self-inventory geared toward helping individuals determine their personality types and individual areas of strength. “By helping people understand themselves, Myers and Briggs believed that they could help people select occupations that were best suited to their personality types and lead healthier, happier lives” (Cherry, 2015). This test, through helping me explore my own personality, likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and various preferences and compatibilities, has been instrumental in affirming my

Strengths: My decision making style strengths include me focusing more towards my inner feelings and gut instinct more than facts and logical analysis. My first instinct is more superior to any based fact because I feel more comfortable with the decision. This is vital when making decisions because it is not always about what is right but more so what is best at the moment. For example, while at work one day my fellow coworkers and I ran into a several issues setting up for

Sun Tzu once said “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”(p. 51). Even though one may not be in battle this statement still holds true when dealing within organizations and how people work together. The purpose of this paper is to identify which of the Sixteen Personality Types I am. After completing the Jung Typology Test I was scored as being EFSP; throughout this paper I will discuss each individual letter and the theory behind it, and then elaborate how it applies to my own personal life. Using the knowledge that I have gained from first part of this paper and using Type Talk at Work I will then further dive into how my personality affects my decision making. Once I have reached a better understanding of myself I will then apply it to my current career and how I can make myself a better officer, and therefore a better leader. Very good

I often get tense and feel over burdened when there is workload and too many tasks to handle. I often avoid the risk related activities; which is not a good trait. As I plan to be manager in future, I should always be ready to deal with risks. Sometimes when things do not work out properly, I get hyperactive and my behavior changes with the people around me. I shout at them and even do not listen to them, which is also not a good characteristic of my personality because a leader should have ability to manage and tackle tough situations calmly.

Now when it comes to the StrengthsQuest it fits me perfectly to what I thought my description was. The first one that I had was adaptability. With this I’m the type of person that goes and takes things day by day. I hate to think about the future unless I have something good that I know is going to come out of it for sure. I also discover new things that are going to happen in the future every day. I also love to just go do something and seize the moment while it lasts. I can potentially be not only spontaneous but very mellow and lay back at the same time. I tend to not like to go days by a schedule and do things the way that they come to me at the beginning of the day. I feel that this is one strength that I completely see myself as.

Personality is something I often think about. To me, it is one of the most important aspects of an individual, in terms of Human Relations. When dating, we assess our prospective mate’s “personality” – is it good, is it bad, are there components of it we cannot live with? When we have children, we ponder what type of “personality” they will have. Will it be like moms or will it be like Uncle Larry’s? Yet, it wasn’t until I took the Jungian Typology Personality Assessment that I made an honest connection to my personality and my tendencies as it relates to school or work. Moreover, previously, I had not deeply considered how my personality affects my style of conflict resolution. As an ESFJ (extraverted, sensing, feeling, judging) I have a lot of positives, making me a great candidate for management but I also have areas of weakness that I must remain cognizant
