Estranged Personality: Effective Leadership It is incredible to have a computer system describe your goals, achievements, and some personality traits almost flawlessly in seconds. The system thinks that I am an ENTJ. Personality and leadership traits comparable to huge names in business such as: Bill Gates, Al Gore, and David Letterman. The ENTJ is described as “Dynamic Thinker” ; designed mentally and physically to lead and understand through adaption and swift decisions. Extroversion (the ‘E’ in ENTJ) is essential for an ENTJ. Outside opinions and new interesting experiences are what the ENTJ breathes. They thrive on the energy of others; through people they are able to build and control. Their presence is almost irresistible and their goal is to interact with people; begin interesting and challenging conversations. An ENTJ is an impatient character; repeating instructions or even more importantly repeating mistakes is not permitted. Decision are usually made only after a long and thoughtful analysis of the issue and pool of solutions; not until all factors are taken into account. This intuitive nature drives the ENTJ to logically observe patterns and develop brilliant solutions. This logical observance is what separates the ENTJ from most leaders. They will not fall short of human sympathy. Instead, pursue only the facts and only then derive by using intuitive logic: thinking instead having emotions derive unsubstantiated choices. To really understand ENTJs, it is

I have chosen to take Myers-Briggs Assessment test from the following website http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp. After writing the assessment test I have got ENTJ which is Extravert (67%) intuitive (12%) Thinking (25%) Judging (56%). The ENTJ mostly focuses on the efficient and organized means of performing a task. This kind of people are goal concerned and regularly make them superior leaders, both in realistic and visionary in applying a extended time plan. These ENTJ’s are frequently strategic leaders interested in developing there organization and maintain their team to succeed. They have a good vision about the feature and try to understand how to motivate people and guide them towards
The E tells me I am extroverted – meaning I get energy from being around people. The N represent intuition, meaning I follow my gut feeling in most situations. The F represent feeling, suggesting I make decisions based on how I feel, not necessarily based on concrete preconceived rules. The J represents judging, meaning I take in information from the outer world by organizing the information before me and come to a conclusion. In discussing ENFJ in particular, I learned in class that an ENFJ is a decisive extrovert. ENFJ’s also like possibilities and pay attention to people’s potential. This makes a lot of sense, because my research showed ENFJ as an altruistic personality type. Finally, ENFJ is described as a Guardian. I think this is accurate, because I often take it upon myself to protect others and look after
In the Myers Briggs test, I received the letter combination “INTJ”. This is someone who is an introverted, intuitive, thinker, and a judger. The careers suggested for this sequence was a nurse, counselor, and a manager. This allows me to work with my own ideas and philosophies. When I must work with people, they will be intelligent people who can work at my level. I can be very inflexible and single-minded.
ENFJ's tend to be more reserved about exposing themselves than other extraverted types. Although they may have strongly-felt beliefs, they're likely to refrain from expressing them if doing so would interfere with bringing out the best in others. Because their strongest interest lies in being a catalyst of change in other people, they're likely to interact with others on their own level, in a chameleon-like manner, rather than as individuals.
The “E” stands for extroverted. I have an outgoing person and adore being social. This would help me in my career because forensic science technicians need to be able to work in groups to compare results cooperatively. The “N” in my MBTI stands for intuition. That means I rely on detail and facts to make decisions. Having intuition would also be good for my anticipated job because jobs in the science field count on facts and data to make conclusions. The “T” stands for thinking. Being a strong thinker says that I decide with my head instead of my heart. Being a logical person would also be extremely helpful decoding hidden criteria and information. The “J” in my code stands for judging. It means I am a planner instead of a procrastinator. I have a good time planning and organizing whatever I can. The ever-changing schedule in the life of a forensic science technician would not suit me the best, but being a judger would help me get my work done fast and efficiently. All things considered, being an ENTJ would work out perfectly in a science
Naviance, based off of my answers to certain questions, also said that I was an ENFJ. These letters stand for extrovert, intuitive, feeler, and judger. I do not completely agree with these results because for one, I am very shy. However, when I am with my close friends or family, I am not very shy at all. I am not sure how I feel about the intuitive part, because I think that there are some parts that are, and are not true. For example, I like to use my imagination, and consider new ideas. However, I do agree with the feeler part of my results because I want to do work that is meaningful, help others, make decisions based on my values, work in a supportive environment, and make efforts to understand others. I also partly agree with the judgers part. I like to do my work before relaxing.
I was interested in what the test would say about me as a person. The test labeled me as an ENTJ. What I understood from the explanation of an ENTJ personality type is that we enjoy a challenge, and will not quit that challenge until it is finished. “My story” relates to this in the sense that my teacher presented me a challenge, to a write a story, once I had accomplished that, I wanted to keep pursuing that challenge until I felt that it was truly finished, once the first grade had ended was when I felt the challenge was finished. It was also stated in the ENTJ description that we have great communication skills. I believe that I used my communication skills and transferred them into my writing. I then read that although ENTJ’s like to be in charge but they need to have support from other people. I think that could also be a reason why Murphy and I had so much success with writing our
Throughout the course of years, I tend to find out more about myself. Every day is challenging and full of many surprises. However, the most challenging thing in my life is working with other personalities. Only to find myself considered an ENFJ with a temperament of NF. Yes, I’m open to others and would put myself last, but I now understand how to truly connect.

I also like to be a leader and show people how to do things and help them do it right. I can think strategically and have a long term focus when I plan things so I could be a business leader. I also have self confidence and I trust my skills and knowledge. I like to use my time and resources right without wasting anything.
My personality type is ENTJ. Each letter has its own characteristic within my personality type. The E stands for Extraversion, N for Intuition, T for Thinking, and J for Judging.

I am an extravert who, when I was a young professional, believed being an extraverted leader was the best type of leader. This was something that was reinforced as I learned from my extraverted bosses. Subsequently, I adopted this mindset for many years throughout my career. I was drawn to outgoing charismatic and magnetic personalities as direct leaders. I reported to and saw countless introverted leaders fail their leadership role. I used to think that these leaders were not strong enough to lead successfully in a role that dealt with sales and collections or the strong personalities of the staff. My roles for nearly one third of my career encompassed sales and loan collections and leadership of sales and collections environment. As I moved

When I got my results back from my test, I wasn't as surprised as I thought I would have been. My Personality results showed that I was an ESTJ,which stands for Extroversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judgment. I completely agree with this because one of the comments I received back was “Occupations attracting ESTJs include teaching, coaching, banking, political office, and management at all levels.” That is true about me because I am apart of many clubs, all involving Business or Political debate. For college, I would like to study business management and Marketing because I feel that it is my passion. A comment I didn’t agree with as much was “ESTJ is not afraid to stand up for what he or she believes is right even in the face of overwhelming odds.
Through this course, I learned that my personality assessment of ENFJ fit me quite well. It described me as an extrovert with intuition, feeling, and judgment. They are described as people with tremendous charisma who believe in their dreams, and see themselves as
