Self-Evaluation Report
According to Keirsey Temperament Sorter, my personality is ESFJ or guardian provider. According to the report, I am considered an extrovert and I have the ability to take in information by sensing. My third psychological preference suggests that I base my decisions on personal feelings. In dealing with the outside world, my personality is judging. Overall, I agree with my MBTI personality test.
Extroverts tend to have very outgoing personalities. They are considered a people person and enjoy being around others. This person does not like seclusion or loneliness; it usually makes them very restless. Extroverts are very actively involved in events. Jobs that require constant contact with people; such as, human resource specialists, actors, public relations specialists and sales managers, are ideal careers for extroverts.
Taking information in by sensing requires a person to pay attention to physical existence of their surroundings. People must actually use their senses of seeing, touching, smelling, and tasting as a means for making decisions. Sensing people want the “bottom line”, in other words they only want the facts and pertinent information. An example of some sensing characteristics for me is test driving a vehicle before I purchase it or wanting to taste a wedding cake before I order it.
When one bases their decisions on feelings, it is described as being logical and consistent. The feeling personality is usually one that is caring and warm. People also tend to be courteous and polite towards others. I see myself displaying this personality, especially when I am at work caring for my patients and interacting with them in a rational and friendly manner.
Judging is the decision making personality that involves organization and consistency. I display this when I go through my daily schedule of events and responsibilities, which include
