Personality Data
Before I even decided what careers to analyze, I took a couple personality tests to learn more about myself and determine what fields I might fit well in. In figure 6 are my results from psychcentral.com and in figure 7 & 8 are my results from 16personalities.com. I felt that both tests very accurately described who I am. 16personalities identified me as a “defender” or ISFJ (introverted sensing feeling judging type). What stood out the most to me is the fact that although ISFJ’s are very reserved, we have well-developed people skills and are naturally social (16personalities, n.d.). I wish everyone could know this about me. The fact that I haven’t said two words all night isn’t because I don’t like you but because you

This is my biggest reason that I want to start a business or become a manager. I have been taken advantage of and depended on to pick up for the slack of others more times than I can count. I would rather work for myself or be the boss to ensure that it will never happen. Although, an ISFJ has a natural inclination to avoid these jobs I think we also fit them really well because of our ability to be dependable and please others. If I ever start a business you better believe I would constantly be asking the customer what they like and what they can’t stand. However, these personality tests suggest that being an executive would be a less than ideal job for me. Instead, the suggested jobs of an ISFJ tend to be medical focused or educational focused. Which my degree is in business. Some of the business fields a defender personality type may enjoy includes human resource management, hotel manager, office manager, or administrative assistant.

My personality type is the defender (ISFJ-T). My individual traits are 83% introverted, 63% observant, 77% feeling, 65% judging, and 66% turbulent. ISFJ-T stands for introverted, sensing, feeling, judging, and thinking. The defender personality tends to underplay their accomplishments and doesn’t like to take credit. Also, the defender personality type is easily taken advantage of due to their humbleness and kindness.
As requested, I took the Jung Typology Assessment. The results revealed my personality to be ISFJ (Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging). The first characteristic listed is the desires to serve others. An ISFJ is loyal, sometimes taken for granted, bad at delegating, but produces superior quality work. Methodical, accurate, and possess an excellent memory are more characteristics of the ISFJ personality type. They work well in a small group and make reliable coworkers; however, they tend to be awkward in a supervisory capacity. Not only is an ISFJ a great employee but they are extremely family oriented and dedicated to their intimate group of friends. If a friend or family member is in need of emotional support an ISFJ is by their side without
Nothing feels better than giving back to a place that has given so much to people. A majority of the little things that we do day by day are taken for granted or they are just seen as nothing major. In reality there are so many things that are given to us and we do not always see the little things in life as anything of mass importance. For our kindness project we decided that it was time for us to give a little to ensure someone had a smile at the end of the day. We partnered up with the Rho Nu club here on campus and together we made tie blankets. These blankets that we made will be donated to the Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane later this month. We decided to do this project in the hopes of giving a little, but making it count for a lot more. We hoped that the children receiving these blankets always get a smile on their face or simply that they just find comfort in these blankets. In this project I was the leader of the group and I did most of the organization of
The ISFJ personality type reveals that I can often negatively overwork myself, and can easily take issues too personally. As stated in the ISFJ weaknesses section, Defenders “struggle silently to meet everyone's expectations, especially their own.”
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.
After taking the career inventory assessments last week, I found the results to be very interesting. For the interest profiler instrument, my scores were high in both social and artistic which I found to be not surprising. My first highest score that I received for the social was a ten, and the second highest score that I received for the artistic area was a one. As for the scores in realistic, investigative, enterprising, and conventional, my score was a zero in those areas. For the work importance locater instrument, my highest scores were in achievement and recognition. I received a score of thirty in achievement, and a score of twenty six in recognition. For the scores in the other work values: independence (16), working conditions (16),
The Myers-Briggs personality assessment results concluded that my personality includes the extroverted, thinking and judgemental characteristics which are extremely accurate. I desperately need people, sitting by my friends is like drinking a Gatorade which gives me energy. Being by myself is very exhausting. My personality assessment concluded that I had the extroverted characteristics. 16personalities.com says. “Extraverts are more interested in engaging the environment – people and objects around them – and they need feedback as well. They are more energetic and willing to take the lead in many situations”. I quickly become the center of the attention almost always in an informal conversation and am very comfortable in groups. According
Before taking the test I knew it would say I was an introvert and liked to think a lot. So it didn’t come as a shock when My results said that I have a INTJ (Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging) personality. What it means is that I tend to keep to myself, I like to analyze things, I’m a perfectionist, and have a vivid imagination. I agree with most of what the results say except for when it says I tend to disregard higher authority; my parents taught me to always respect higher authority, and I believe that I do. I also don’t agree with when It says I struggle with sharing my personal feelings. I don’t share my feelings often because I believe you should only do that with the people your close with. But I wouldn’t say I struggle with that
After taking the Individual Personality Assessment my personality trait came back as ESFJ (Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging). ESJFs are social, structured and very assertive. Most ESJFs enjoy being around a crowd of people without feeling anxious or overwhelmed. ESFJ are very structured when it comes to following plans, events and things of that nature.
2 using psychological measures for personality research I disagree with using these tools to measure personality isn’t something your measure or try and put a label on because people are different so for one to effectively measure personality shouldn’t be a test or tool I feel is that you should take the time necessary to determine that person personality the psychological measures could be gathering bias data because of how the tool is formatted, somebody not understanding properly but not interacting with the individual will leave the researcher absent of the correct data.
How can a teenager with a “Peace-sign” on the back pocket of her blue jeans leading a “Sit-in” be described now as Responsible, Analytical, and Faith-filled? Yes, that is me! In this paper, I will explain these three main strengths that I believe to be true about myself. I utilized the Strengths Finder 2.0 and the Richard-step for my strength assessment (Rath, 2007 & "Richard-step: Enrich Yourself & Step Up Your Career – Tests, Tools, & Personal Guidance," 2015). Additionally, I will compare these findings to the Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment ("Personality test based on C. Jung and I. Briggs Myers type theory," 2015). Please fasten your seat belt as this is going to be a quick but wild ride from rebel to responsible!
The INFJ personality is known to be the world rarest personality type and often misunderstood. This type stand for a percentage of less than 2% of the overall world population according to Holm (2009), the majority of that percentage being female and some famous INFJ that can be named are Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa. My INFJ in academic and business milieu: from the past week assignment, my preferred four letters chosen base on the instructions received from Myers-Briggs type indicator were INFJ, which stands for Introverting, iNtuiting, Feeling and Judging. For this week assignment I was very surprise after taking the Jungian test to discover that my personality type fours letter were confirmed to be the same INFJ. Having my conformed INFJ profile means that in business milieu, my creativity and sense of responsibility come in first. Although as an INFJ I’m strongly introverted, I nevertheless highly care about my relationship with other individuals. At work I’m open to communication and always available when it comes to help colleagues to carry out on tasks or explaining work procedures. However, my personality type also implies that I can have sudden need for personal time away from others, which is my way to recharge and regain my energy. In an academic milieu, I’m more focus on setting and reaching my goals; I get motivated by planning in advance my studying weeks and do a lot of efforts to meet my assignment deadlines. I can get emotionally
In psychology, trait theory (also called dispositional theory) is an approach to the study of human personality. Trait theorists are primarily interested in the measurement of traits, which can be defined as habitual patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion.[1] According to this perspective, traits are relatively stable over time, differ across individuals (e.g. some people are outgoing whereas others are shy), and influence behavior. Traits are in contrast to states which are more transitory dispositions.
The first exploratory step was using the career assessment tool hosted on the Central Piedmont Community College website, which provided an opportunity to confirm my chosen career path. Upon completion of the long assessment, my personality profile was very high in conventional skills (88%) and median range for social and enterprising (Career Coach Career Assessment and Personality Profile, 2016). Based on this performance the suggested occupations included:
Personality is defined as “consistent behavior patterns and intrapersonal processes originating within the individual” (Burger, 2010, p. 4).
