Judger The last part of my personality test scored me at 56% for judging. I am assessed as having “…a moderate preference for judging over perceiving.” Type talk at work says that Judgers “…prefer a lifestyle that is structured, scheduled and ordered.” Judgers want a life that is organized and controlled. I am guilty of being a judger. I do want everything to be orderly, controlled and organized. If the world were perfect, everything would be decisive and planned. I Worked at an airport during the last part of my previous career in municipal government. I found plans and order at airports do not go together very well at times in the chaos of air travel. I had the privilege of working three NFL Super Bowls from the airport side. The amount of airplanes and ground transportation needed to service the attendees and the teams can be overwhelming without proper planning and logistics. The flight arrivals and the ground transportation didn’t arrivals were 24 hour operation during Super Bowl week. Thanks to great team effort on the parties involved, we were able to confront every unplanned event and turn chaos back into order. Our team was also responsible for the arrival and departure arrangements for parking and ground transportation for events from taking care of children and parents with the Make a Wish Foundation, to Presidential visits as well as major music and sporting events. All events required planning and coordination with individuals and
With the use of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter – II, I was categorized as a guardian, and the results of the test were impressively accurate. I pride myself on being dependable, helpful, and hardworking. While I do enjoy leisure time with my peers, I become more serious when dealing with my duties and responsibilities. I tend to focus on credentials and traditions, and I can be highly meticulous about schedules and following proper procedures. Although change can be healthy and beneficial, I go about it cautiously. These aspects of who I am strongly influence my decision-making process. I have always been described as an optimist because I am determined to find the positive aspects in all things. This, however, does not prohibit my skepticisms. Whether I am deciding on what to eat or where and how to spend my money, I am consistent in weighing out my options and determining all possible outcomes and consequences. This cautiousness is often mistaken for indecisiveness, but I agree entirely with the statement that, in the end, it is better to be safe than to be
There is not one person on this planet that has not, at one point in their life, been judged unfairly; and even though many of us want to believe that we don't, we, personally, do our own fair share of judging others just as unfairly.
Who are you? Many fortune cookies, horoscopes, and other whimsical devices attempt to tell us our personalities, or our combination of traits and behaviors that make up who we are. However, psychologists today deviate from those unsubstantiated methods and have concocted various personality tests that give us a better understanding of who we are. One such test is called the Myers-Briggs personality test. Based on theories by Carl Jung, but primarily created by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs, the test gives people a standardized survey of questions to answer. Standardized, meaning the test is given and scored in the exact same way every time to give unbiased and accurate results. It scores people in four pairs of characteristics, so there is a total of 16 possible personality types. Each pair of characteristics are opposites and a person can fall anywhere between the extreme end of one opposite to the extreme end of the other. The pairs are extroverted and introverted, sensing and intuition, thinking and feeling, finally judging and perceiving. A person can have strong, moderate or weak tendencies towards a preference. (Rathus, 2010, p. 420) There is some criticism of the Myers-Briggs test however, not everyone fits into the categories. People may answer according to socially acceptable norms instead of their honest answers. Not all of the theories were proven, Carl Jung made many observations and deductions but they weren’t formally
A family member once told me never judge a book by its cover. If you open the book and see what is inside instead of overlooking it, you might find it interesting after all. This quote by my family member can easily be tied to “The Myth of the Latin Women: I just met a Girl Named Maria” by Judith Ortiz Cofer, and “Just walk on By: Black Men and Public Spaces” by Brent Staples. Cofer, talks about how she was stereotyped for being a Latin woman in American culture. Then Staples, talks about how he was discriminated for being a tall, black man that worked as a journalist in a predominantly white field. Both of these authors, were being put in categories based on their appearance. People assumed they were a certain way because she was Hispanic and because he was African American. Modern society is quick to judge people based on their appearance; mainly on attributes of race and gender, eventually affecting the person’s outlook on life. People can often be treated and judged in a less than an equal manner. Before they even get to know the true nature of a person, they are judged based on race. Additionally, a female may be overlooked for a certain job and the job is then given to a male counterpart, based solely on gender. Lastly, people will see the world in a different perspective because of the exposure of stereotypes. Being judgmental towards ethnicity and gender will keep us
Social cognition is defined as the ways in which people think about themselves and the social world, including how they select, interpret, remember, and use social information(Gilovich). In the article “Some Systematic Biases of Everyday Judgement” by Thomas Gilovich, he addresses several concepts based on the assertion that faulty processes of reasoning and judgment can cause a person to falsely interpret the events of their everyday lives. The first concept that Gilovich refers to is what is called the “Copmared to what?” problem, which states that people tend to be overly impressed with some statistic or fact without realizing that its true value can only be assessed in comparison to some other factor. An example used in the article states that a 1986 article in Discover magazine claims that ninety percent of plane crash survivors who were interviewed knew where the escape routes were beforehand.
I am an ESFJ on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator – extraverted, feeling with sensing and judging. According to the six-paged MBTI report from a few years ago, I am supposedly “warm-hearted, conscientious, and cooperative”. Being the malignant narcissist that I am, I concur entirely. I tend to be a provider, and like to be surrounded by harmony. Just as the report suggests, I don’t do well in tense or conflict-charged situations. Growing up, I had an embarrassing tendency to cry when experiencing disagreements or arguments. Due to this, I would always avoid situations and circumstances which would lead to arguments of any sorts. You see, when you grow up in a household with three other siblings who can give any debater a run for their money, you find it extremely difficult to be confrontational because there is no way you will ever win an argument. I found out very early on that arguments always ended with my tears, and thus, compromising and accommodating became the easy route out.
Do not judge me by my flaws or the decision i have made but look at me as the changed person i have become. Read my story as if you were looking at the world through my eyes let my story flow through your mind don't get obsessed with the moral of my story and try to find the main idea and supporting details as to why this and why that because that will blind you from the beautiful image between the line
Additionally, the overall system of how we treat each other, how we promote, and our outlook on the modern society all need to change. As mentioned above, the current system is based on a post World War II mentality. Furthermore, the system needs to incorporate changes that reflect our current worldview. Since 1990, we have been in some form of conflict big and small that has shaped the world we live in today. The current generation has only known war on terror. To elaborate further, my personality of the ISTJ type influences me to solve problems like this. The decisions made now will affect my remaining nine years in the military so I feel a need to get involved. According to personalitypage.com, people with a judging personality are perceived as stubborn and opinionated. In this case, it will take a person that is not afraid of taking risks to get matters settled.

Blind spots are personality based, where they are the perceptions of how individuals see us and how we see ourselves. Almost everyone believes that they know themselves better, compared to other people knowing them better. Based off studies from experts, these blind spots could prove us wrong and show that others might know us better than what we thought. These blind spots are caused by lack of information, having too much information, and are the results of motivated cognitive processes.

The Myers-Briggs Personality Test states that I am 63% Prospecting. When there is a problem I immediately start thinking of a solution than pondering the fact that I have a problem in the first place. Whatever happens I usually tend to go with it unless it will just turn bigger or cause other problems or consequences, in that case I start thinking of ways of solving the problem myself. I don’t usually like asking others for help unless I really need. If I can’t find a solution I start thinking of alternative ideas that sometimes lead to crazy unrealistic thoughts. The results of my personality test according to Myers-Briggs states I am 37% Judging. I judge a lot of my decisions, mostly the ones that may cause more problems or are dangerous. For example, whether or not I should use fire to destroy a paper, so in those cases I use judgement to not do something but then prospect for another approach, I could use a shredder which is
When I have things to do, making lists is the first thing I do before going to work. I am firm and resolved in my opinions and certainly hate surprises, all of these things are characteristics of Judgers.
My results from the Myers-Biggs personality assessment letters “ISTP”. The letters represents a dominant introverted thinker. I agree that analyzing, categorizing and evaluating is part of my personality. I definitely think that this assessment is pretty accurate to most of situations I’ve encounter, especially in relationships. In my relationships I have been told, more than once that I analyze things way too much and get caught up on my own feelings instead of relaxing. I just feel like every situation is a mystery and in my mind I try to solve
At work, I feel the desire to exercise my interpersonal skills and organize processes and people. Consequently, I always wish to solve problems affecting other people by creating appropriate structures. Further, I feel that I require completing my work with detail and orderliness. Therefore, feel that my personality enables me to undertake reliable analysis and task execution. However, sometimes I take too much time trying to determine the most appropriate way of achieving the results. Consequently, I prefer to undertake a task that matches my values and ask for help for supportive individuals.
