The person that I chose to interview for my profile report is my sister’s boyfriend Dan, he is 31 years old. I had him take the personality test first (Myers Briggs). I asked him if he had ever taken the Myers Briggs test before or any other personality tests and his response was no. It took him approximately 30 minutes to complete the test. His results were ESTJ, Extroverted 70%, Sensing 53.13%, Thinking 55.26%, and Judging 61.29%. ESTJ is categorized as “administrator”, much in touch with the external environment and very responsible. I found more information on what ESTJ really means on the personality page web site and printed them out and gave them to Dan to further understand his results. On the website he was categorized as “The Guardian”. Here is a part from the ESTJ portrait: As an ESTJ, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things rationally and logically.

When I first found out my personality type and researched it I was pretty surprised with the results. Most of what is described about an ENTJ fits my personality exactly, like how an ENTJ’s primary mode of living is focused externally, where they deal with things rationally and logically and their secondary mode is internal, where they take things in primarily through their intuition. Something that surprised me though was the part about how ENTJ’s are natural born leaders. I’ve never really considered myself as a leader, but then I begin to evaluate myself and realized that I like taking charge of people and directing them in order for the task to get done efficiently and effectively. Another strength that I can relate to is being a strategic thinker as well as being very…

In taking the online assessment, I found that my results listed me as an ENTJ also known as a Field Marshal (Extroverted 44%, Intuitive 62%, Thinking 38%, Judging 89%). This result overall did not surprise me, but there were some traits listed that caught me off guard. ENTJ’s make great managers and are particularly career and performance focused and have the ability to harness/gather people and direct them to achieve short and long term goals. However, ENTJ’s have a tendency to become harsh when their patience is tried; they do not like repetitive errors and don’t feel that they should tailor their judgments in consideration of people’s feelings. A quote by an ENTJ summed up the flaw of their non-compassion pretty well when they said “I’m sorry that you have to die”.…
