Although this was not the first personality assessment that I’ve completed, after reading this week’s study material, I can honestly say that I have gained a more expansive understanding and perspective on the subject. First, I had not considered the correlation between our covenant with God and the responsibility that we should maintain a similar engagement with one another on a day-to-day basis (Presentation: Lesson 1 – A Worldview Perspective on Organizational Behavior, 2012). While I knew that our personality type could provide context to how we may conduct ourselves in any given situation, I had not considered the broader connection to how our personality type also affects our ethical decision-making and problem-solving (Kinicki & …show more content…
Mine states, “Lord help me to relax about insignificant details beginning tomorrow at 11:41.23 am e.s.t.” (Prayers for Myers-Briggs Types, n.d.). This sums me up in a nutshell! As I reviewed my MBTI results, most of my percentages have not drastically changed over time. This gives me continued confidence in the following MBTI results which indicate I am an ‘ISTJ’: introvert (16%), sensing (9%), thinking (31%) and judging (53%) (Jung, Jung Typology Test, 1998-2017). As I read more about my style, I can honestly say that there were few, if any, points that I disagreed with. In summary, I do not get my energy from engaging in large crowds. Analysis by paralysis is a real challenge for me, given I have a knack for the details. I won’t let my feelings get in the way of a decision which can be a relationship inhibitor if I don’t keep an eye on it. I Corinthians 14:40 and Ecclesiastes 3:1 will both maintain a special place in my heart; everything should have a time, place and purpose. My blind spots include my tendency to think that I’m right, which debatably I think I am. I may find myself facilitating “win-lose” discussions and I tend to be extremely serious most of the time (Jung, 1998-2015). My temperament is ‘SJ’, also known as “The Guardian”, with a primary objective to inspect then execute the task at hand (Jung, 1998-2015). So, to sum it all up, you can count on me to do what I say I will do.
I believe they were mostly accurate, especially the Meyers-Briggs type Indicator. I have always bene more quiet and reserved naturally. Others that do not know me do tend to see me as somewhat distant and aloof. I have learned to cope with this and took positive steps to combat this tendency. Before becoming a police officer, I took a job as a salesperson because I knew I would have to learn how to talk to people. While still naturally quiet and reserved, I can switch to more of an extrovert when the need arises. After researching further the traits of an ISTJ I found the decryptions to be very accurate. I have always had a strong sense of right and wrong, which led me to this career. I did think I would have been somewhat higher on the thinking scale. I am very logical and analytic by nature which is characteristic of
I have taken the Myers-Briggs test many times over the years and the results are always in the ISTJ (Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, Judging) area. I am the epitome of the Dragnet's Sgt. Joe Friday character; who is credited with the phrase “Just the facts, ma’am.”
As I reviewed my MBTI results, most of my percentages have not drastically changed over time. This gives me continued confidence in the following MBTI results which indicate I am an ?ISTJ?: introvert (16%), sensing (9%), thinking (31%) and judging (53%) (Jung Typology Test, 1998-2017).
According to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), I am an ISTJ personality this means that I am an Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging person. ISTJ are very faithful, loyal and dependable. We are also reserved people who are interested in a secure and quiet life. ISTJ’s place importance in being honesty and can be trusted to do the right thing for their families and friends. There are some weaknesses to being an ISTJ personality we are stubborn, insensitive, and judgmental. This test is amazing it really nailed my personality.
This assignment assured some parts of my personality that I already knew. But, it also taught me new things about me. The Jung Typology test gave as a result that my type of person is ISTJ; 47% introvert, 1% sensing, 34% thinking and 9% judging. I actually agree with these results because it accurately reflects my type of personality. I am a quiet person that does not often socialize since I feel very comfortable when I’m surrounded by my family and close friends. In addition, my personality tends to be very rational and neutral and most of my decisions are normally ruled by what is logical and not based on emotions. Therefore, a lot of people see me as a cold person. The last component which is judging also resembles a lot on me since I believe that we as humans don’t know what the other people have to go through in their daily lives.
According to the Humanbetrics Jung Typology Test, My conformed profile is INT. This differs slightly from what I had “guesstimated” last week, when I thought that I was an ISJT. According to the site, I lean slightly toward intuition over sensing, by 6%. What this means is that I appear self-confident, even to the point of seeming arrogant; I am a perfectionist; I have difficulty with relationships but am willing to work on them (Humanmetrics, 2017).
ISTJ individuals, or “traditionalists,” are honest, direct, decisive, efficient, dedicated, responsible, strong-willed, reliable, committed, and trustworthy.1 As ISTJ’s are very strong-willed and dedicated, Jung’s test describes them as “doers.” 1 ISTJ’s are very competitive and always pushing themselves to improve and succeed. 1
According to Carl Jung's and Isabel Briggs Myers' typological approach to personality, I was characterized as having an INTJ personality type. The analysis of the Jung Typology Test data indicated that I have a slight preference for Introversion over Extraversion (19%), moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (50%), moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (28%), and moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (25%). Interestingly, the INTJ personality is of one of the scarcest of the 16 psychological types and it does not manifest too often in the population. As shown by the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, in the United States is estimated that the INTJ personality accounts for only 2-4% of the population. However, in the second test, according to Keirsey Temperament Theory, my Keirsey Temperament Sorter results indicated that my personality type is that of the Guardians (SJ's). Guardians (SJs) seem to be a common personality type which I seem to share with the largest segment of the population more specific with about 40-50% of the population. Even though the INTJ personality seems more unique than the Guardians, I agree with both of Carl G. Jung's theory of psychological types and Keirsey Temperament Sorter results. Furthermore, I took the Jung Typology Test over seven years ago and got the same results. I consider myself so self-aware of my personality type that if I was asked to read each description for the different psychological types
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a psychological test to explore ones judgment in the decision making process. “It offers an explanation of the individual’s decision-making process, perception of the world and mechanism of interacting with the external environment” (Chong et al., 2016, p.48). By taking this test, one can find out your personality type from one of the 16 personality types. “On the basis of their answers, individuals are classified as extroverted or introverted (E or I), sensing or intuitive (S or N), thinking or feeling (T or F), and judging or perceiving (J or P)” (Langton et al., 2013, p.48). My personality type is Introvert, Sensing, Feeling and Judging (ISFJ).
After answering 72 yes or no questions at humanmetrics.com, my Jung Typology results were type ISFJ. Type ISFJ is Introvert, Sensing, Feeling and Judging. My boyfriend, Kevin, took the exact same test and his Jung Typology results were type INTJ. Type INTJ is Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, and Judging. The results also gave the percentage of what our results are over the alternative. According to the descriptions "ISFJs are characterized above all by their desire to serve others, their 'need to be needed. ' In extreme cases, this need is so strong that the standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them." (Humanmetrics). The description for INTJs is they "may appear to project
Q1. When I first took a glance at different personality type details for this assignment, it was difficult for me to make a definite choice between types seven, eight and three. However, the discussions we had during our class meetings and videos filmed by Palmer, with a detailed and vivid descriptions (Nine Points of View Video Series, 1994), we watched helped me to draw a conclusion that I had a number eight personality. To this point, I have never heard of the Enneagram method to evaluate personalities. Therefore, it was such a new and amazing experience for me to learn about this particular technique.
However, I do not fully agree with this test; I do not perceive myself as an alert individual. This affects how open I am to seeing signs from God on how I should live my spiritual life. I do agree with the statement that I am an insightful person because I tend to understand new concepts fairly well. This allows me to grasps new spiritual concepts and stigmas, allowing me to learn more about religion. Desiring to know the “why” in situations allows me to question religion and spirituality, which has good and bad consequences. One of the good consequences is that I am a free thinker and am questioning the church and its teachings. However, that can, in turn, become negative because I am not relying on faith as much as I should be, and therefore, I am not as spiritual or religious of a person than I should be. According to the MBTI personality test, my personality type is ISTJ, which is an initialism for introverted, observant, thinking, and judging . I agree with these traits because I see these traits in myself whenever I ponder who I am as a person. Also, I believe others see me with these traits because I tend to keep to myself on most matters. Being introverted can be
A person’s personality is his or her essence. It is what guides decisions, emotions, and even thoughts. Some may wonder if it is possible to explore every nuance of such a complex part of a being, but there are ways to determine what type of personality a person has, and then branch off into a more detailed examination of that person specifically. Combined with other factors, such as personality disorders and the environment that someone has grown up in, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, test and analysis can determine an accurate portrayal of a personality. Created in 1943 by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, it is a system made up of four basic functions and sub functions that combine to make a personality type. The mother and daughter team constructed it off of Jung’s theories (History 2). Based on this system, one of the most common personality types in the US population is called an ESTJ, and one of the least common personality types is called an INFJ. There are many differences and similarities between these two types. An ESTJ personality, overall, is practical, fact-based, and outgoing, whereas an INFJ personality is more private and makes decisions based on feelings; however, both are organized people who make good leaders and are capable of great success in roles that involve helping others.
The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) enables an individual to gain a deeper insight into their inherent personality traits. For some people, they have had prior knowledge or underlying assumptions about their personality, but this test provides clearer information about each of their identifiable traits. According to the MBTI in Human-metric personality test, my scores were 22% (E) extroverted thinking more than introverted, 9% (N) intuitive as oppose to sensing, 16% (T) thinking more than feeling, and 12% (J) judging as compared to perceiving. Thus, my personality type is ENFJ. The ENFJ personality group is described as a minority group that consists of natural-born leaders, and people filled with passion, and charisma for example, Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey; they are notable members of this group, also known as the protagonists (16personalities, 2016). The protagonists apprehend pride in providing guidance for others to improve individually and to improve the community at large (16personalities, 2016). The protagonists find it naturally easy to communicate with others and excel at communicating with other people in person (16personalities, 2016).
The description of this personality type seems to be an accurate assessment of my personality The ISFJ personality type is described as a person who is quiet, loyal, cares about how others feel and does not like turmoil. My job history is a very short list with my shortest time of employment being six years. I have been close friends with all of my supervisors. I often think about how a decision will affect those around me before I take any actions on them.
