Personal Strengths Of Personality Types

A psychological force that shaped my personality from childhood was that I was a realist and more conscious of the real world than most of my peers. My perception of the world as a child was more adult like than Disney sugar coated. I've always taken a realistic approach to life.

A person’s personality is his or her essence. It is what guides decisions, emotions, and even thoughts. Some may wonder if it is possible to explore every nuance of such a complex part of a being, but there are ways to determine what type of personality a person has, and then branch off into a more detailed examination of that person specifically. Combined with other factors, such as personality disorders and the environment that someone has grown up in, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, test (Enrichment 1) and analysis can determine an accurate portrayal of a personality. Created in 1943 by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, it is a system made up of four basic functions and sub functions that combine to make a personality type. The mother and daughter team constructed it off of Jung’s theories (History 2). Based on this system, one of the most common personality types in the US population is called an ESTJ, and one of the least common personality types is called an INFJ. There are many differences and similarities between these two types. An ESTJ personality, overall, is practical, fact-based, and outgoing, whereas an INFJ personality is more private and makes decisions based on feelings; however, both are organized people who make good leaders and are capable of great success in roles that involve helping others.

In the past couple of weeks I found a common theme about my personality and my strengths through Strengthsfinder, MBTI, and the FOCUS 2 assessments. I have come into touch with my strengths of adaptability, competition, empathy, curiosity, communication, and consistency. On all three assessments I have learned that I am an excellent communicator. For example, on the FOCUS 2 assessment I scored a high of twenty five for the strength of being social and had a score of zero for conventional on the bottom of my chart. As for the personality assessment, I learned I was a campaigner. This is somebody who enjoys emotional connections with other people and somebody who thrives off curiosity and energy. Lastly, the Strengthsfinder assessment allowed me to come in touch with

Upon receiving a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the Haskayne School of Business (HSB), I aspire to graduate with marks of excellence. Through constant perseverance, I aim to increase my communication skills to make me an excellent team player and become a reliable leader. As a result, I will have a vast network of business contacts.

After assessing my strengths and weaknesses from the self-assessment survey, I am not surprised by the results. Prior to this survey it has always been clear on my weaknesses and my strengths pursuing a career as a therapist. I am a very sensitive person, particularly when it comes to people being violated. Often when people are emotional around me, especially telling me something that they are going through, I tend to cry with them or get as emotional with them. I don’t know how I will be able to sit and talk with a person if they are telling me about being raped, kidnapped or beaten. I know that I can overcome this because in the past I have been put in situations where people have come to me about matters such as being raped or seeing

I have well-developed people skills and excellent relationships, though possessing the Feeling (F) trait, having excellent analytical abilities; though Introverted (I), being the defender of others. Consequently, possessing this particular personality trait could be very beneficial as I will continue my career in the healthcare field. Furthermore, with the distinct preference of sensing over intuition focusing on the present, the "here and now" aspects of situations and approach, see things as they are, nonetheless, a concrete thinker. Moreover, with an introversion traits as well, which is beneficial personality strength, focusing more on patients care

After receiving my results of the StrengthsFinder 2.0 test, I’m left to reflect upon my personality and analyze the accuracy of the test’s evaluation. Following are my strengths:

The fourth letter represents how I prefer to organize your life. The way in which I prefer to organize my life is Judging. When I saw the word judging I was for sure this was inaccurate because I associated that with judging people. I never judge people and this word really made me feel insulted and uncomfortable. I was sure this was going to be inaccurate. In Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type, Isabel Briggs Myers and Peter B. Myers wrote:

My Personality Strengths as identified are being curious, observant, energetic, enthusiastic, excellent communicator, ability to relax, popular, friendly. Curiosity is very much a component of my success in life. It motivates me to pursue knowledge and answers far more than the average person. As a soldier in the military I was allocated to the assignment of creating, maintain and completing TDY orders. My curiosity aiding me in mastering the entire operating system as well as along with being the foremost person in the brigade at this. My clients appreciated my proficiency for clarifying any misunderstands. I tended their needs in the friendliest, professional manners while establishing trust that I would insure perfection all while maintaining

My personality has changed a little bit since I was little, but I am still the same person that I was when I was little. My personality type is an ENFP so I am 22% Extravert, 9% intuitive, 41% feeling, and 44% perceiving, and it has been proven that you only change a little bit as you grow up. That is why Nurture plays a bigger role in our life. It is the

As living organisms, humans are prone to change. Evolution teaches us that those more fit and adaptable to their environment are more likely to reproduce and create offspring effecting the future behavior and structure of the population or species. This will lead to new adaptation suitable to the environment. Because humans are constantly evolving they go through many biological changes throughout the course of their life. Such changes include: puberty, menopause, and growth in general. However, have we ever thought of personality being something that changes over the course of an individual’s lifetime? Does personality change or become altered in humans as we grow and experience life and do these changes have an impact on our behavior and world view and if not will our childhood personalities predict what our personality will be as adults?

In the interview, i asked one of my friend a few questions about myself. the first one was what are my strengths. the answer to that was curiosity and humility. From this I was expecting one strength to be curiosity which tells me that I would enjoy travelling in the future and learning about new things. Although humility, i was not expecting that strength only because i never noticed that in me and i never thought that strength was one of the things people noticed most about me. this strength added another career option for me that involves me understanding others issues and putting myself in their shoes. One career suited for this would be a psychologist. my second question was what are my qualities, in which the reply was honest, understanding,

As I evaluate myself as an imperfect human being, I have discovered that having an A Type personality is one of my biggest weaknesses. To start, I constantly view situations as a competition.

Before considering my personality as a child, it is important to mention the series of events that influenced my personality by the age of eight. Before year eight, I would consider my family; e.g., younger brother and sister, to be developing emotional, social, physical, and strong academic nurturing support from our mother. Our reality transformed one day in 1980, Big Al (my father) abandoned the four of us for another family. This was the dominating force that altered my developing personality. With this new reality, my family was soon evicted and relocated to live with other family members. We lived in a single bedroom of a small, beige, shotgun house in New Orleans. My mothers’ emotional state suffered; she had become financially responsible for three children with no former education and work skills. She was

Outgoing and spontaneous, or level headed and reserved: these are ways in which people identify the others surrounding them every day. These personality indicators may seem easy to distinguish; however, at times, finding one’s own personality type can be difficult. In the early 1900s, a Swedish psychologist named Carl Jung introduced the idea of categorizing personalities into identifiable types (Boeree). By investigating the subconscious, Jung was able to classify personality types that have certain characteristics in common. This became known as typology (Boeree; TheFreeDictionary.com). Several years later, Katherine Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs-Myers, took Jung’s typology to the next level. Together they separated
