Characteristics Of Myer-Briggs Personality

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 (Enrichment 1) 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.

How well does one know himself or herself as a person? Or even the type of person they are? How can one tell if they’re an introvert or an extrovert? There are so many questions that come to mind but no answers that follow. However, after taking the Majors PTI assessment was when I realized what type of person I am. My results revealed that I am an INFJ. What does that even mean? Well, being an INFJ means that I am an introvert, who uses their feelings and intuition to make their judgments. INFJ’s like to use words and visions and be imaginative. They tend to make connections to everything and give a deeper meaning to every part of their life. Truthfully speaking, that’s exactly the type of person I am. I prefer to deal with things according

They suggest that measuring one’s characteristics such as sociability, drive, self-determination and demeanor can aid one to better interpret and discern them introspectively. By taking the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) I am able to compare my personality traits to careers in which I may enjoy, will fit my individual personality and enable me to be successful say Drummond, Jones & Sheperis (2016). The results of my self-administered inventory are as follows; Introvert (I) 55%, Intuitive (N) 76%, Feeling (F) 86% and Perceiving (P) 67%. The four dimensions of the inventory seem to be very accurate for the manner in which I view myself. The result of INFP suggests that my personality shows a predominant association with being in a career in which I am able to care for others, such as a healer. This is a correlate with my first career as a firefighter and

Now that I have taken the personality type test, my results have shown that I am INFJ, the advocate, which I believe that it does not relate to me. This personality mainly focuses on helping people and tend to speak with people using their feelings and emotions. As a result, they forget to take care of themselves because they are too busy taking care of others. However, some people might believe that they're quiet, but truly INFJs only speak when they believe it's right.

Through Interpersonal Communication course I took in first semester in school, I have increased self-awareness. Every day, I keep learning more and more about myself. Not only that, but also, practice skills, and integration of knowledge and practice. For years, I have not seen self-awareness important, and also do not know my strengths and weaknesses. Though, I had an idea what my likes and dislikes were but my self-awareness was missing. Self-awareness is important because it can help us to recognize when we are stressed or under pressure. Self-awareness will also advance interpersonal relations, and also for developing empathy for others.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss characteristics of my personality. The main focus of this paper will be how my personality has developed over time. As I age and encounter new and different experiences, my personality has adapted and developed further. This paper will give an in-depth exploration into the people and events that have influenced my personality.

After learning about INFJ type- Counselor, I am totally agreed with the authors who have given the characteristics of the Counselor type very clear and accurate. David Keisey gave a lot of strengths to INFJ personality that makes me happier because I belong to this type of personality. However, I think he should emphasize more about the weaknesses of Counselors personality types, that might help people of this type to know more about themselves and happier in their life. For me, I have two major weaknesses that I really want to learn the way to fix them for helping me to be balance in the relationship with others in my daily life.

People with high self-awareness are also able to speak accurately and openly-although not necessarily effusively or confessionally-about their emotions and the impact they have on their work. Those people can also be recognized by their performance reviews and the self-confidence.

As human beings, we different from one another. We are created with a lot of character traits. We all can gain knowledge about our own personalities, we develop our perceptive about strengths and weaknesses, and clarify what we truly value as individuals. The Myers Brigg personality assessment classified me as an Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving (ISFP) personality type. Results showed slightly Introvert 16 %, sensing 12%, feeling 19%, and perceiving 3%. Throughout this paper I will analyze the diverse parts of my own personality traits and how those traits have effected both my personal and my working environment.

First, I will like to discuss my Myer Briggs results. As I mention earlier my personality type is ENJF. I am 12% Extravert, 13% Intuitive, 44% Feeling and 28% Judging. I thinks this personality fits me perfectly. I am full of passion and charism. I take pride in guiding people to work together to improving themselves. I see the big picture. I can maintain multiple projects and responsibly

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the results of my personality test on 16Personalities.com. The following paper describes the results of my test, as well as what I learned from the detailed reports of my personality type INFJ-T (Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging-Turbulent). In her article, Rajagopal states that, “the type indicator provides self-confirming insights and helps make patterning of human behavior understandable and acceptable” (2008). My personality test taught me not only about my personality, but also about my values, attitude, motivation, and decisions. I also learned several things relating to my ability to work with others.

Self-awareness enables you to be "who you really are", take responsibility for your behavior and get up the courage to initiate changes.

The INFJ personality is known to be the world rarest personality type and often misunderstood. This type stand for a percentage of less than 2% of the overall world population according to Holm (2009), the majority of that percentage being female and some famous INFJ that can be named are Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa. My INFJ in academic and business milieu: from the past week assignment, my preferred four letters chosen base on the instructions received from Myers-Briggs type indicator were INFJ, which stands for Introverting, iNtuiting, Feeling and Judging. For this week assignment I was very surprise after taking the Jungian test to discover that my personality type fours letter were confirmed to be the same INFJ. Having my conformed INFJ profile means that in business milieu, my creativity and sense of responsibility come in first. Although as an INFJ I’m strongly introverted, I nevertheless highly care about my relationship with other individuals. At work I’m open to communication and always available when it comes to help colleagues to carry out on tasks or explaining work procedures. However, my personality type also implies that I can have sudden need for personal time away from others, which is my way to recharge and regain my energy. In an academic milieu, I’m more focus on setting and reaching my goals; I get motivated by planning in advance my studying weeks and do a lot of efforts to meet my assignment deadlines. I can get emotionally

Through Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung and his theories about psychological types motivated Myers-Briggs to create the MTBI test. Through interpretation the MTBI test acts as a guideline in determining a subject 's perception of the world and psychological preferences.
