Myers-Briggs Observation

The world would be a lot better of a place if everyone got along and knew how to communicate effectively with one another. There are several different personalities at any given workplace. “According to typological theory, each of us is born with a predisposition for certain personality preferences” (Kroeger pg11 para4). The Myers-Briggs Personality assessment is the most effective way to determine one’s personality type. The test uses different markers to determine how one is stimulated and exerts energy, gather information, make decisions, and living structure. At the completion of the test one will get personality type that is comprised of four letters. The test was developed based off of Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs-Myers’ psychological research on personalities and later dissected into Otto Kroeger’s book, “Type Talk at Work.” This book gives one the tools to determine what one’s personality is and then goes into great detail about one’s strengths and weaknesses and how it applies to to real life situations. My personality description is ENFP; Extravert, iNtuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving. The following are details regarding and ENFP personality type examining a holistic view including personal and work place interactions. Everything is based on insights gained from real world experiences and interactions.

My personality type is logistician(ISTJ). Some generally qualities are independent, logical, loyal, responsible, serious, organized, quiet and a rule follower etc. I found most of these qualities to be true about myself. I like working alone and think before I act. I need to have the facts before I set my k da to something. I'm pretty loyal since I keep things to myself and people can rely on me when they need some assistance. I am kind of quiet when I don't know where I am at or who I'm going to be dealing with. I don't like to be social and make conversations to others. I stay by myself until someone comes to me and speaks first. I can be serious at times but I'm a goofball and I like to be silly and sarcastic. I'm also a tile follower I

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).

According to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), I am an ISTJ personality this means that I am an Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging person. ISTJ are very faithful, loyal and dependable. We are also reserved people who are interested in a secure and quiet life. ISTJ’s place importance in being honesty and can be trusted to do the right thing for their families and friends.

Taking the Myers-Briggs seemed no different. A long test with seemingly unsystematic questions about nothing specific. This time, for the first time, I got it. After I read the results I understood. This test didn’t try to tell me what career I should select, or what degree to pick. It simply gave me results about me. My result gave me a type ISTP, where each letter stands for personality traits. Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Perception. To me that didn’t mean much, until I started reading up on them. With every sentence I found myself agreeing more and more. Factual, realistic, and impersonal. Cool-headed, perceptive, and

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..

Everyone has their own unique personality. Everyone is different, but certain parts of our personality can be analyzed and categorized. Our different interests help decide our true personality, these personalities can help determine and choose our career path and what we will be doing for the rest of our lives. My personality test and my interest survey helped me decide to become a detective because it stated what I am good at and how I interact with people on a regular basis, this helped because it showed my different mannerisms and what type of environment I would work best in. Based on the research of my ESFP Myers Briggs personality type and of my Interest Indicator realistic type careers, I have chosen the career of police detective.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is used to evaluate my personality type. My personality type is ESTJ with 1% Extravert, 38% Sensing, 25% Thinking, and 3% Judging. The ESTJ personality falls under the SJ – The Guardian in the Keirsey’s Temperaments category.

After taking on online quiz to determine my Myers-Briggs Type, I analyze how each preference fits into my professional life in a positive or challenging way. I see the world from an external context; my energy comes from external sources therefore my first preference is Extraverted. I am able to conceptualize a broad view of the world, issues and situations as well as work on multiple tasks at one time as an iNtuitive. I use implications, intuition and an internal value system to gather information which is typical of a Feeler. And finally I seek order, and structure as a Judger personality. This makes up my type as ENFJ.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on eight characterizes. The questions are an either or format. It is designed to pinpoint an individual’s preference. The eight characteristics are extroversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. This assessment is used for normal functioning individuals.

According to Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, my personality is ENFJ. Martin Luther King Jr, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Nelson Mandela, Pope John Paul II and Oprah Winfrey are a few people who share my personality. According to Truity Psychometrics, ENFJs comprise 3% of the world’s population. In the entire world, there are only 16 personality types according to Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. There are over seven billion people walking around on this planet. Everyone is one of these 16 personalities. There are four categories within which I am one of two types. I will admit I was a little skeptical when I read this. I began to research what that meant and the skepticism started to fade.

My Myers Briggs Test style is ISFJ. My first style is the introversion, which is defined as a person who defines the world within them. It describes a person that rather take on a task alone or with a few people that he or she feels comfortable with. When I take on task, I prefer to execute a project by myself but have learned to also work with other people being that the group can create unique ideas as a team. Introverts also think about what they are going to say or do and are aware of how people feel.

These qualities were even more defined when I took the Myers-Briggs assessment. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality assessment that involves a series of questions to simple everyday situations, the responses then identify an individual’s natural way of doing things known as ‘Psychological Preferences’ (Aranda, R, & TiLton, S, 2013). My MBTI results came back from (Personality Pathways, 2017) as being an ISTJ, which stands for: introversion, sensing, thinking, and judging. I thought that this assessment was somewhat accurate to my personality and my way of thinking. According to the test, I have a strong-felt internal sense of duty and that fuels my motivation to complete tasks. I feel this is certainly true because I want

The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) enables an individual to gain a deeper insight into their inherent personality traits. For some people, they have had prior knowledge or underlying assumptions about their personality, but this test provides clearer information about each of their identifiable traits. According to the MBTI in Human-metric personality test, my scores were 22% (E) extroverted thinking more than introverted, 9% (N) intuitive as oppose to sensing, 16% (T) thinking more than feeling, and 12% (J) judging as compared to perceiving. Thus, my personality type is ENFJ. The ENFJ personality group is described as a minority group that consists of natural-born leaders, and people filled with passion, and charisma for example, Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey; they are notable members of this group, also known as the protagonists (16personalities, 2016). The protagonists apprehend pride in providing guidance for others to improve individually and to improve the community at large (16personalities, 2016). The protagonists find it naturally easy to communicate with others and excel at communicating with other people in person (16personalities, 2016).

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test was developed by Katherine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Myers in the early 20th century. Their dedication to developing this test was inspired by the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung who introduced the theory of psychological types. The personality test taken, identified me as an ISTJ with the temperament of SJ. The results of this test will be explained by analyzing to some degree what makes me preferential to some type traits over others and how it has defined many of my choices and decision making. My ISTJ typology assessment will also include information based on my professional experience to support where I had been both efficient and inefficient and how it could potentially affect particular assignments or coworkers. I will also explain how MBTI influences the workplace with similarities and differences between individuals, noting that some personality types are better suited to certain careers and how workforce diversity also applies to MBTI. The parallel between the biblical covenant and organization behavior will also be explained with their likeness.
