Reflection on the Jung-Typology Personality Assessment and DISC Leadership Assessment
While both the Jung-Typology and the DISC’s assessment varies, mostly the characteristics it read were seemingly similar. Both tests seem to find my personality to be more introverted and cautious than extroverted and daring. I believe that these tests are mostly accurate, but have some flaws intertwined within.
Through the Jung-Typology assessment, my results were not surprising and mostly accurate. My results came back as ISFJ, meaning I am more introverted than extroverted, more sensing than intuitive, more feeling than sensing, and more judging than perceiving. D. Kiersey mentions that ISFJ’s are “protectors”, this is a valid statement as I feel that often times I think about everyone else before

The DISC assessment, similar to the Jung-Typology, I felt was not as accurate and I found more to disagree with. The DISC was more in depth, I thought. The DISC said that I was less decisive, moderately interactive, highly stable, and extremely cautious. Once again the DISC assessment also said I would prefer a stable work environment, and I still disagree with that one.
However, I believe it was spot-on when it says that I like to analyze a situation before I act on a decision and I am normally the quiet person in a heated debate. In the interactive category, I was almost directly in the middle. However, the only true thing in this category is the fact that I prefer to work alone, the rest were close, but I felt that they were not as explicit at the Jung-
Typology. For the stability category, I had a pretty high score, which was not very surprising to me. This category was pretty accurate, saying that I am patient with a wide variety of people and that I’m not great at letting things go. The cautious category was the highest score (99). This was almost 100% accurate based on my personality. The only flaw I found was that it said I have
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
They are very practical and try their best at anything they pursue. They look to the past to make decisions for the future. They usually have self-esteem or confidence issues for instance, feeling they aren't good enough or wanting to be more than they already are. ISFJ’s are very loving and accepting but, they are also very reserved and quiet, so sometimes it is easy for others to think ISFJ’s don't like them or they are intimidating. ISFJ’s are usually traditional individuals and like to follow thing that they have always done in years past. ISFJ’s have a reputation for being very helpful and kind. ISFJ’s also are known for putting up with people's nonsense and putting themselves down. These results can assist me in my academic, career, and personal life, its purpose was to find a suitable career for my personality if I have difficulties deciding myself. These help me decide a suitable job for
After going to the website, I took the personality test. I was identified as ISFP. This meant that I was fifty percent introvert, twenty-two percent sensing, twenty-five percent feeling, and twenty-two percent perceiving. The test was very accurate. To start, the results showed that I was an introvert. This perfectly describes me. My entire life I have been the shy one in the group. I was never focused on being the center of attention; I was fine with staying in the middle or back of the group. So for my results to say that I was fifty percent introvert was more accurate than I had intended it to be.
According to the test, it’s not regular for me to seek out new experiences. I tend to stay away from social situations, but I'm not particularly nervous nor calm. Also, I do things somewhat carelessly, and I’m neither extremely forgiving nor irritable. My results show that I’m in between what most people score on this test and that tells me that my personality is neither different nor the same as other people’s personalities my
Based on the results of the Big 5 test, I do not seek new experiences, I am reliable, I am introverted, I am critical, and I am anxious. Most of this I was pretty aware of, but I was surprised by my agreeableness level. The results said that I am in the 2nd percentile and that I find it easy to criticize others, but I have never noticed that in myself. After I really thought about it, though, it did make sense. It’s just a trait that I would rather not admit I have.
The Jung Typology Personality Assessment presents a variety of statements to the participants and asks them how much they agree with each statement. The test groups the participant into four dimensions: Extraverted (E) vs. Introverted (I); Sensing (S) vs. Intuitive (N); Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F); and Judging (J) vs.
In the end, I found that the personality test and the temperament that goes with it is accurate to a fault. The only issue that arose that I question is whether I am an extrovert or an introvert. Most of the time I have relate to both daily. I become overwhelmed with one or the other and I need to resort to the opposite. I need time to recharge because I have given all I possibly could at that moment.
In the webtext i completed both assessments, the first which was the Jungian Typology quiz. After taking this quiz it informed me that I am:34% Introvert, 31% Intuitive, 12% feeling and 16% judging.
The Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test conformed profile is ENFJ in the following order Extravert (25%) intuitive (22%) Feeling (3%) Judging (22%); this interprets to mean that in both business and school, I can be described as a transformational leader. This is so because I am quite passionate about what I do and also I have been told by my colleagues severally that I have a unique charisma that is infectious and gets people to do what they should do. I agree with these results and as of today, I am yet to see any differences compared to who I was 3 weeks ago. For example, I use motivation to provide leadership for my team. What’s more; I take pride in the provision of leadership for others – something that I have experienced since my elementary years, I have always been elected the head/leader at school and at work.
I feel my reported Myers Briggs type matched my personality fairly well, however, I definitely know that I am Percieving and not Judging for the final aspect of my personality. The “Profile of…” didn’t quite match my personality as closely as I thought it would, as there were a few phrases I could identify with, but overall I didn’t quite think it was me. The being organized and planning everything out aspect of the ISFJ Profile did not match my personality; I tend to have random energy spikes in doing my work and feel exillerated by the rush of finishing something at the very last moment. My self-estimated type in class did not match my reported type. During class, I jotted down that I was ISFP which was not the same as the ISFJ I got later
In conscientiousness which is the personality trait of being thorough, careful, or vigilant I received a 58%.This meaning that I am not necessarily organized or disorganized. This surprised me because i find myself a very organized person. I also find this surprising because under the traits that very conscientious people tend to have in common it stated that they are reliable, self disciplined, and careful. I find myself to be very reliable, and also very self disciplined when it comes to keeping myself in line. In neuroticism which is a long term tendency to be in a negative state I received a 49%. This meaning that I am not particularly nervous, or calm, which I find very surprising since I feel as though I am a very calm
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).
I have a moderate preference of extroversion over introversion. I have a slight preference of feeling over thinking. Also, I am closed-minded, slightly disorganized, and agreeable just to name a few. The tests had a few things that matched my personality and a few that did not. One quality that matched was the level of extroversion.
I am “Highly attuned to the emotions needs and motivations of others” I would have to agree with the findings. My prediction was spot on. I would also agree with the fact I am an extrovert.
The results of both tests were extremely accurate. The Briggs-Meyer test results were extravert, intuitive, feeling, judging or ENFJ. I am outgoing. I do use my instincts rather than just doing something. I tend to put others needs before my own, especially the needs of my daughter. I do have to judge and plan everything. The career choices based on the results of this test shows that a career in education, counseling or psychology are best suited for ENFJ personality types . This tells me that my path on becoming an educator is the right direction.
