For the Myers-Briggs Test, there are limited of words for describing personality. I believe there should be more words for personality description because people are different. Anyways, some of the descriptions are accurate to my self-description personality paper. However, some are less like my personality. The personality that most accurate with my self-description is introvert. There is no surprise that introvert has the highest percentage in this personality test. In the first assignment, I described myself as shy, secretive, and quiet, which all of them fit into the introvert category. In addition, I prefer to be by myself rather than at a place where there are many people and noises. As mention in my previous assignments that I tend …show more content…
I picked tolerance as one of my personality traits because I believe that because of my high tolerance level lead me to harmony, but I could be wrong. I expect the percentage for Feeling would be higher because it represents me more than Judging. I was quite shock when I saw the percentage on Judging because I expected that Feeling would have a higher percentage than Judging. In addition, the definition for Judging does not fit my self-description compare to Perceiving. When I look for the definitions for each characteristic, I find that Judging is less like my self-description because people who are judging maintain strict work schedules. This is nothing like me at all. I am flexible on my work schedules. However, I do agree that I am less flexible when I work because I am committing to that one job and it is hard for me to move to different job.
4. Review Articles Before reading David J. Pittenger’s article, I feel that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test is limited for describing personality. As Pittenger had stated in the article that the “…MBTI attempts to force the complexities of human personality into an artificial and limiting classification scheme” (Pittenger 1993). In fact, I agree with Pittenger that the MBTI tries to categorize people with different personality in a tight space, with only 16 types of personalities. From what I know, my friend and I have a different personality,
As I reviewed my MBTI results, most of my percentages have not drastically changed over time. This gives me continued confidence in the following MBTI results which indicate I am an ?ISTJ?: introvert (16%), sensing (9%), thinking (31%) and judging (53%) (Jung Typology Test, 1998-2017).
The Myers-Briggs type indicator is a test that is designed to look for a psychological preference on how are seen in the world and how they make a decision. In essence allows on to see what kind of leader they are. The MBTI was created by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers. The way the test works is are you have answered the questions you will receive a 4 letter personality type. This will then correspond with a full breakdown of your personality type. Providing a very useful information. I conducted a version of this test online, in which my results came up to be an INTP. INTP stands for Introverts, intuitive, thinking, and perceiving.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Personality (MBTI) was developed by Briggs Myers and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs in 1943 during the onset of World War II (Ham, 2016). Briggs recognized the need for psychological instruments that would value human differences and utilized the C G Jungs theory in creating the MBTI (The Story of Isabel Briggs Myers, n.d). According to The Myers & Briggs Foundation (2014) Myers and Briggs initially tested a group of 20 relatives and friends. They utilized such sample, because they thought they could predict their personality solemnly on observation which by observation. The initial random sample did not truly represent a whole population, but merely were used due to availability.
I also tend to judge every little thing that I myself or another person does. With my personality type I am better suited in Technical, Managerial, Legal and Health care professions. Even though most of these are careers that I am not interested in, the Managerial profession is the closest thing to what I want to do with my life as I get older. This makes
The results of my Myers-Briggs Personality type test were as follows: extrovert, intuition, thinking and judging. As I read what each category meant, I could see those characteristics within myself. I love to be around people, socializing or just people watching. I prefer things to be planned and to think of solutions outside the box. I also look at the big picture of things before making a plan of action. The following two stories display my thought process in different areas and the affects it had in my life or how I dealt with the situations.
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
Well, my personality preference is INFJ which means Counselor Mystic. I tried many questions to test my personality. Some of them were like: In a discussion, truth should be more important than people’s sensitivities, you are often envious of others, you rarely worry about how your actions affect other people and many more. I gave my own opinion and I was surprised by the result because the result was true and it matched my personality. According to the test, I belong to that personality which is very rare among people. There was even mentioned my strengths, weaknesses, romantic relationship, friendships and so on. Some of my strengths were creative, insightful, inspiring and

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
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.

This particular test can result in sixteen different outcomes or types of personalities, which is determined by four different categories that judge if you are introverted or extroverted, use your senses or your intuition, your choice to think or use your feelings, and finally if you are judgmental or perceptive. These series of questions are designed to judge our personalities and help us to determine which career pathways we will be most suited for based on our personality traits and abilities to work well with others, which is important
My conformed profile is introversion this means that in business and school I am timely and objective.

These questions always make me smile because it causes me to think about my life and what I have done with it in for the brief period I have lived. To truly portray my unique characteristics I would like to briefly mention my personality type. About a year ago I took a Myers Briggs Personality Test and from that I learned a lot about who I am. The results of that tests was not a surprise to me because it more or less confirmed who I am. I am classified as an ISTJ personality type, and to keep things brief the ISTJ personality type defines people as a more serious, quiet, shy natured individual. Keeping that in mind, imagine someone who is introverted in nature, but is willing go out of their comfort zone and take on new challenges each day
