Sun Tzu once said “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”(p. 51). Even though one may not be in battle this statement still holds true when dealing within organizations and how people work together. The purpose of this paper is to identify which of the Sixteen Personality Types I am. After completing the Jung Typology Test I was scored as being EFSP; throughout this paper I will discuss each individual letter and the theory behind it, and then elaborate how it applies to my own personal life. Using the knowledge that I have gained from first part of this paper and using Type Talk at Work I will then further dive into how my personality affects my decision making. Once I have reached a better understanding of myself I will then apply it to my current career and how I can make myself a better officer, and therefore a better leader. Very good Step 1Good use of headings; Extroverted The first letter of the Jung Personality Test represents whether or not a person is an introvert or extrovert, after taking the test I was rated as being 72% more of an extrovert over introverted. Being identified as an extrovert did not surprise me in the least because for as long as I can remember I always needed to surround myself by people. Being an extrovert has helped me in my overall job of being an officer in the United States Air Force because feel at ease talking in or to large groups of people. A specific example
A1. Describe two specific dimensions from your personality profile results that you consider to be strengths.
I have always considered myself to be a sort of extravert seeing that once comfortable I can talk an ear off. So, you can understand why as soon as I saw my Jung Typology Test result I was a bit shocked. My type resulted in Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving (ISFP), I never really considered myself to be introverted however, I did decide that maybe I needed to self-analyze and draw my own conclusion. I concluded that, I’m an introvert in the sense that I do get overwhelmed after socializing I prefer to be able to hear myself think. Although, I may be an introvert I still believe there is a limitation, I consider that I do have extrovert qualities. I enjoy engaging with others sitting around chatting away, fully outgoing, I’m also not shy about sharing my opinion.
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
Observers often have a characteristic round-shouldered posture. Their necks are often not as well proportioned as other types and their heads seem to strain forwards. Their eyes have a sorrowful look about them as if they are about to be victimised in some way. Their noses are somewhat aquiline in shape which combined with often flattened cheekbones giving the false impression that their noses are large.
According to the Jung Typology Test, my four letter personality type is ISFJ. I was not surprised with my results at all and found them to be very accurate and represent me as a person. As an introvert, “I often prefer doing things alone or with one or two people (CITE). As a student, being an introvert is a disadvantage for me because I do not work well with large study groups and instead rather lock myself in a room and study alone. With sensing, “I learn best when I see how to use what I’m learning” (CITE) and only complete things using what I know from experience. By only using my experience when completing assignments or school work hinders my experience as a student by limiting my ability to learn new material. Through feeling, I tend
After taking the Jung typology test, I was astonished how the results described my disposition down to the minute details. My personality type is introvert, intuitive, feeling, and judging, INFJ for short. INFJs love people, but tend to only share their feelings with a selective few. Perceived as dreamers and doers, this unique combination of vision along with practicality enables INFJs to accomplish great humanitarian feats. Often they are deeply concerned for the people surrounding them, but when situations begin to get to emotionally tolling, this personality type tend to seclude into themselves pushing everyone away. Additionally, they often take on a disproportionate amount of responsibility. My persona matches the test results exactly.
Knowing your Myers Briggs type indicators can be very beneficial as a leader in an organization. This will mark the third time in my career I have done this test, the first two were in Navy leadership schools. I have always found these tests beneficial in helping me deal with subordinates and peers alike. According to (Jung, N.D.) I am an ESTJ, this is not a surprise as I have been that before twice. What did surprise me is that I am now older and with a 6 year gap since my last test I am less of an ESTJ now. So in the next few pages I will discuss each portion, extravert, sensing, thinking, and judging and then apply that to my Overall type. Let’s begin with an overview of the ESTJ.
This week’s assignment will focus on Myers-Briggs personality test, which will include results from the Jung typology test. I have learned that my Jung Typology results is a ENTJ which put me in the Executive type of leadership position. ENTJ I will discuss ENTJ personality as a whole and the meaning of each letter within the results. Finally I will touch up on what I have learned as a whole and how to improve myself within my organization.
The Jung Typology Test categorized me as an ENFJ personality type – Extravert (1%), Intuitive (28%), Feeling (19%), and Judging (66%) (Humanmetrics, 1998). This particular mix of traits may be categorized using the following words: persuader, structured, caring, upbeat, sensitive, affirming, happy, harmonious, and defensive (Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge, 2002). Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge note the following about the workplace contributions of ENFJ personality types
My Big Five personality test results show that I am a conscientious individual, in which I scored 4.4 and the percentile indicates that I am higher than 90 of the norm sample. I agree with my result because I am a person who puts big effort in what I do and try to achieve high levels of efficiency. Also, I am a person who likes order and get things done as perfect as I can.
This paper is based upon the personality traits of Krispy Kreme’s and Pearson’s Chief Executive Officers; also known as CEOs. The two CEOs that will be discussed are Scott Livengood, who served as CEO of Krispy Kreme and Marjorie Scardino who served as CEO of Pearson. The two CEOs personality traits are explained in depth due to the importance of these traits. Personality traits are hereditary and also altered by the environments people associate with. These traits are important because they affect the way an individual acts when put into various situations. Studying the personality of a CEO allows us to predict their behavior and attitude towards their performance within the business. With that being said, this paper will explain how the personality
There are five elements, which make up the Big Five Personality Type. These factors consist of Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism, which can also be referred to as OCEAN.
In contemporary psychology, the Big Five Personality Inventory of personality are five broad domains or dimensions of personality which are used to describe human personality. The Big five factors are Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. The Big Five structure was derived from statistical analyses of which traits tend to co-occur in people 's descriptions of themselves or other people. The underlying correlations are probabilistic, and exceptions are possible. For example, talkativeness and assertiveness are both traits associated with Extraversion, but they do not go together by logical necessity: you could imagine somebody that is assertive but not talkative. However, many
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
There are sixteen different personality types; “ESTJ”, “ESTP”, “ESFJ”, “ESFP”, “ISTJ”, “ISTP”, “ISFJ”, “ISFP”, “ENTJ”, “ENTP”, “ENFJ”, “ENFP”, “INTJ”, “INTP”, “INFJ”, “INFP”. These personality types were all researched and developed by three outstanding people. Carl Jung, Katharine C. Briggs & Isabel Briggs Myers worked very hard and put in a lot of time and effort to making sure these types of personalities were accurate based on have we perceive information and how we make decisions. When we go to make a decision the question is do we use
