Personality Typing

The personality-based assessment by TypeCoach determined my personality type to be ISTP, Introvert, Sensor, Thinker and Perceiver. A few of the traits of an ISTP consisted of the individual “living in the moment”, “Down to earth”, Logic driven”, “unflappable”, “level headed”, “realistic”, “private”, and “quiet”. The personality assessment described me pretty well with a percentage of 80. However, there were some aspects of the assessment I did not agree with wholeheartedly. For Instance, I did not believe that I was a Sensor, but after reading the bio, I came to the conclusion that I could be. My profile explained my personality in five category types, the first being Economy of Speech and/ Motion Efficiency. This section described me as a

In the TypeFocus Assessment online worksheet my four-letter personality type was ESFP. This meant that I was friendly and outgoing and I also live for the moment. I am fun to be around, help others enjoy life with taking the best out of some situations, and interested in meeting new people. Making my own rules and bending them are also descriptions of me according to the survey, which I have to agree with. In the interests, it said that I was Realistic, which means I have an athletic or mechanical ability, prefer to work with objects, machines, outdoors, and prefer to work with things other than people. Another interest I had was Social; this meant that I like to work with people and help, train, or help live up to their potential. I did not

The type A personality is not the only personality type with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Type D, also known as the distressed personality, has an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Individuals who identify as type D personalities typically struggle in social situations and often experience negative emotions. Both social inhibition and negative affectivity are leading causes to type D personalities having higher than normal risk of cardiovascular disease. Type D individuals avoid social situations, typically have a negative self-view, and can often feel depressed, anxious, or angry. When faced with these perceived high stress and uncomfortable circumstances, the individuals release high levels of cortisol. A

The original International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) focused on Goldberg’s 100-adjective markers of the psycholexical FFM structure (Goldberg, 1990/1992). The current IPIP-50 is a 50-item prototype public domain (the NEO-PI-R is a commercial questionnaire) personality questionnaire (Goldberg et al., 2006; Goldberg, 2011). Since the questionnaire is free of charge over 600 different studies have employed it (Goldberg, 2016). Until 2005 the IPIP big-five factor markers lacked validating evidence, but research conducted in 2005 found that the IPIP-50 had a high internal consistency and related strongly to both Costa and McCrae’s NEO-FFI and Eysenck’s EPQ-R Short Form (Gow et al., 2005). In addition, Gow et al. (2005) found that although Intellect and Openness related less strong, it was still 0.59. A study carried out in New Zealand found that there was hardly any evidence to suggest hidden biases at the item or scale level of the IPIP-50 (Guenole & Chernyshenko, 2005). Before looking at the research examining the relation between the FFM and EI, this literature review first presents some of the current findings in EI.

According to the interview for the internship above, it shows that the individual personality has definitely an impact on the managers’ decisions whether or not to hire someone to be an intern or to take a new position in their companies. This applicant Susanna’s personality profile indicates that she fails in the projection errors because she does not trust people.

However, they identify her as a Type A personality because

Taking the first step in deciding what career path to follow can be exceedingly challenging. I decided to make an appointment at The Career and Employment Services Department to get some help. There, we could review my personality and interest assessments to figure out if the career I wanted, was a career I would be a good fit for. My appointment was set for September 17th, 2015 at 3:00 pm with ____________.

After answering multiple questions for different situations I was able to obtain information about my personality. ENFJ is a very unique and has various skill sets that will allow me as individual to work in multiple roles. Occupations with good interpersonal skills that allow productive collaboration through any working process. Although this personality can be challenging it still has many benefits to help build careers successfully. There are many high rank positions that this particular personality type would be effective in. Some examples are sales, social services, community care, legal and the list goes on. In all of these roles there are a broad range of occupations that would fit perfectly based on the personality type. However, the ultimate focus is to reach their main dreams. Although they may see their selves as helpers or enablers, this creates the challenge.

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

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.

Today in class we discussed Type A Personality. People with Type A personality generally are obsessed with being on time, competitive, impatient, and may be easily angered and hostile. These traits may become dangerous as they can lead to heart problems because of the anger these people possess.

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

The automatic nervous system is equipped with multiple automatic functions necessary for the body’s activities to function properly, such as breathing or maintaining a steady heart rate (Kidshealth.org, 2011). Another function that helps with responding to demands to threats is stress, which helps motivate an individual to perform under pressure, or even protect themselves in a dangerous situation (Segal et al., 2016). Although its main objective is to protect and motivate, stress in extreme amounts can begin to cause physiological and emotional problems, ranging from heart and coronary problems to an irritable behaviour (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2016). In order to determine the possible causes of coronary disease, cardiologists Friedman (1959)

My personality type is said to be ENFJ (extraverted intuitive feeling judging). After reading the descriptions of this personality type, I believe that this fits me very well. Because of my strong interpersonal skills, I have the ability to manipulate people and get my way with things (I usually do this to change my mom’s mind about something that I want to do). It also says that I am a helper/enabler. I do agree with this especially taking into consideration that I am in the ACES Physical Education (I do gym with those with disabilities), I am in Best Buddies, etc. I love helping people. Stemming from this, recommended jobs include nursing--which is what I am going to college to become. Moreover, ENFJ people are very sensitive and loving.

Their noses are somewhat aquiline in shape which combined with often flattened cheekbones giving the false impression that their noses are large.

This paper explores the relationship between personality traits and obesity throughout the adult life span. The article examines the relationship between personality and obesity (BMI) and adiposity (waist and hip circumference). We describe how obesity is the second leading controllable cause of death next to smoking. Many variables contribute to the rising percentage of obese individuals such as lack of exercise, unhealthy eating habits, and even genetics; shifts in food quality, food quantity, and availability to healthy foods also plays its part in maintaining weight control. Obesity also leads to numerous health issues like type 2 diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and ultimately shortens the human life expectancy.
