(Personality Tests > Even Popular Tests are Controversial , 2009) There is no right or wrong answers to the test questions that are asked. It simply asks for what is your preference of the choices given. It is simply looking for your preferences in order to understand the difference between people. (Take the MBTI® Instrument, No Year) For each of the 16 types of people, none of them are considered to be better or worse than any of the other types. The results are not compared against any norms. The point of taking the test is to understand your personality type. When receiving the results the test, the score is only for helping to identify any possible preferences that could help understand strengths or weaknesses that the test taker might have.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an evaluative personality tool that is widely used throughout the world today. It is important for a tool that is popularly utilized in a variety of fields and at numerous professional institutions worldwide to be a credible one. So, is the MBTI really the valid reliable personality inventory instrument it claims to be? Evaluating this tool will show that empirically sound evidence does not exist to support the MBTI as an accurate, reliable, or valid instrument for profiling one’s personality type.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) “is an introspective self-report questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions” (13). It is one of several personality assessments that is popular among modern mental health experts throughout the world. Currently, it is estimated that the MBTI is “taken by more than two million people per year and is translated into 16 languages (10). “The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people 's lives” (4).

The Myers and Briggs Personality Type Inventory test assessed my personality type as an ENTJ, with an extravert of 72%, intuitive 38%, thinking 25%, and judging 44% (Humanmetrics Inc., 1998). A person with an ENTJ personality type is honest and has a preference for leadership. He or she is very constructive and will always follow the guidelines. Because, ENTJs enjoy order, if there is a flaw in a system, the ENTJ will implement a way to resolve that shortcoming. Additionally, ENTJs are very goal oriented, which leads them to develop long-term plans (The Myers & Briggs Foundation, 2014).

Having worked in corporate, I have completed a vast number of professional assessments over the years, including the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Strong Interest Inventory Assessments, DISC Profile Assessment, Gallup Strengths Finder and even the more comprehensive executive leadership assessments. In corporate, these are generally performed prior to a promotion or during integration of a merger or acquisition. Initially, my thinking was, these were worthless time wasters; so I put very little stock in any of the broad array of assessments, to which I felt subjected. Surely, proper evaluation had to be more than a game of twenty questions. Across the years, I have saved my results in a small moving box as we have relocated nationally and internationally. I gained a deeper understanding of, belief in and reliance upon the power of assessments. In the last three years, I have sifted through my individual results with a fine toothed comb looking for similarities, consistencies and an underlying foundation on which to strategize the next phase of my life based upon my foundational principles. Interestingly enough, my results across the board, have not changed throughout more than 20 years of completing these assessments. As a result, there were no surprises seeing the result of the MindTools (2015) Leadership Skills Assessment..

Personality is a complex area of Psychology, which has been studied for many years, by many experts in the field. Each having their own ideas about how to understand, study and evaluate it. Here I will introduce personality briefly, looking at the theories behind it. Then explain the need for testing. As there are many test that are available to use, for the purpose of this essay I will look at The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and discuss the reliability and validity of some studies around these tests.

I would recommend the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test to employers. The reasoning behind this is that this test has easily understood questions, it does not take long to complete, and the outcomes are very helpful. Knowing whether someone is an introvert or an extrovert, sensing or intuitive, and whether they think or feel can really help in the workplace. For example, Introverts are not going to work well with extroverts. This test is a better choice over the others because it does not require a trained individual, only a computer with internet. Also, the test is just yes or no answers, in some of the other test, a psychoanalyst has to show cards with images and how the person describes the images is supposed to relate to their personality.

The results of my Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment revealed that I am an Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking and Perceiving (INTP) person. I don’t believe to have done this test in the past, so coming to find out that for the most part I fit the description was quite interesting. I am not necessarily everything an INTP is but it is the description that fits best. My current position at the company I work for has and will allow me to experiment with some of the materials we are sharing during this term and create my own conclusions on what works best for the type of employees that work under my direction.

I decided to talk about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as my assessment tool. From a post-modern theoretical perspective I know that using this assessment is more a modern perspective at the beginning because you are labeling the client. However, knowing what their type is allows a client to learn more about why they do the things they do. For example when we did this activity in class, I had one letter change from the last time to take it. I am now a sensor instead of a instead of an intuition. As I read over all the papers that were given to me that day, I have learned more about myself in regards to the sensors area and it has reaffirmed what I did know about myself such as that I am an introvert. Looking at the knowledge I gain

The Lobed bowl with seated figure and attendants was an important art material to the caliphates and dynasties that were present at the late 12th and early 13th century. The bowl signified artistic achievement, exemplified by the development of painted decoration in Iraq in the 11th century. In this paper, I will be stating some observations I made from studying the Lobed Bowl, these observations will include: the material, surface texture, use of color, size and the composition use of line. The Lobbed Bowl signifies royalty.

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.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a psychological, interpersonal, and self-reported assessment instrument based on Jungian theories of personality types. This instrument measures personal differences in the psychological preferences of four domains. These domains include obtaining energy and motivation, processing information, making decisions, and interacting with surrounding people or situations (Aranda, & Tilton, 2013). According to the MBTI in Human-metric personality test, my scores were 12% (E) extroverted thinking more than introverted, 57% (N) intuitive as oppose to sensing, 41% (T) thinking more than feeling, and 59% (J) judging as compared to perceiving. Thus, my personality type is ENTJ.

The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-report poll which is fundamentally intended to demonstrate mental inclinations and how individuals communicate once a day with the world and take choices.
