Estj Or Extraverted Thinking Type
After taking the assessment my results revealed that I am a ESTJ or Extraverted Thinking Type. Extraverted thinking type is also known as the supervisor and is described as determined, logical, critical and loving challenges Although this is a personality that enjoys working with people they tend to like things structured and well organized. I can see this fitting my description. I joined the Navy thinking it would have been better organized then has been shown to me which disappointed me. I also tend to be critical in my thinking when someone acts in a way I do not agree with. This critical way of thinking is something that happens a lot in my personal life. I never say it out loud but I get very critical in my thoughts when I think someone

    The Myers-Briggs personality type test is one of most used and respected psychological assessments. It contains 16 different personality types and is suppose to represent all the different types of personalities in the world.

According to the test, I am a ESTJ (Extravert(31%), Sensing(1%), Thinking(28%), Judging(28%)), which matched some famous people such as John D. Rockefeller. I was surprised by how accurate the description of the suggested personality style matched my own.…

    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. Your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. ESTJ’s live in a world of facts and concrete needs. They live in the present, with their eye constantly scanning their personal environment to make that everything is running smoothly and systematically. They honor traditions and laws, and have a clear set of standards and beliefs. They expect the same of others, and have no patience or understanding of individuals who do not value these systems. They value competence and efficiency, and like to quick results for their efforts. ESTJ’s are take-charge people. They have a clear vision of the way that things should be, that they naturally step into leadership roles. They are self-confident and aggressive. They are extremely talented at devising systems and plans for action, and at being able to see what steps need to be taken to complete a specific task. They can sometimes be very demanding and critical, because they have such strongly held beliefs, and are likely to express themselves without reserve if they feel…

    The use of the Myers Briggs test really interested me in this module for the fact that I’ve had to take it before in school. It is a personality sense that is quick, small, and a pretty simple but effective way to get the basic traits of someone’s personality. When I took it I was ENFJ which means the test considers my personality and me to be Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging. The test has a couple of questions and only takes 10 minutes on average to take. In each letter, there are 2 options for example the 1st topic depends on if you are introverted or extraverted. An introvert tends to be quiet, shy, and not liking to be the center of attention a lot, while an extrovert tends to be the team leader, the happy go lucky friend, and enjoys their parties from time to time. Then it assess if you are intuitive or observant, if you are intuitive you are imaginative and quick at finding a solution, or you could be observant which means you down to earth and you rely on your senses. The 3rd letter assesses between a person being thinking and feeling based. A Thinking fellow would be tough and focuses on the mind while a person who the test said was more feeling would be more sensitive and follow your hearts. The final letter depends on if you are a judging or prospecting individual. A Judging personality is decisive and seeks closure while a prospective individual is good at improvising situations and they seek freedom. Based on my letters I am considered an extrovert, an imaginative person, very in tune with my emotions, and am decisive.…

    As reported previously, my scores from Schutte’s Emotional Intelligence questionnaire indicate that I have high emotional intelligence. EI includes “abilities such as being able to motivate myself and persist in the face of frustrations, to control impulses and delay gratification, to regulate my moods and keep distress from swamping the ability to think, empathise and to hope.” (Goleman, 1995, p. 34) my scores in a certain extent show that I can manage these…

    My Professional Development Plan at this moment is to obtain all the knowledge of life lessons and professional skills that I can obtain in this class and use it to better myself. So far there is nothing much that I have learned about myself that I’m already aware of. Hopefully as I progress through the next 6 weeks I may learn something new about myself. There have been interesting assessment’s that I have completed within the last two weeks. They are the following: Jungian Typology (Bauer & Erdogan, 2013) after completing that assessment the result stated that I’m an introvert which is true, but not 100% I’m reserve when I’m at work or out on events, but at home with friends and family I’m outgoing and verbal. Now this is something that I need to work on and be more extrovert and get out of being reserve.…

    When I was in the military taking this test was required once I reached senior levels. It was not used by anyone for evaluation or suitability purposes, but instead it was used for individual self-assessment. Each time I take the test my reaction is always the same. I am skeptical in the beginning, and a believer in the end. It is amazing how the results capture my own opinion about my personality. The only part I did not feel was accurate (in the beginning) was its definition of “how others see you.” To validate my feeling, I provided two different interpretations of “how others see you” to a co-worker. One interpretation was from the test, the other was my own interpretation. To my surprise, my co-worker said that he viewed my personality was more in line with the findings from the test. For me, this further validated the legitimacy of the…

    According to the assessment, I scored high in extraversion and low in neuroticism, which is in line with the way I traditionally feel about life and work in general. I am usually of relatively happy demeanor and attitude and attempt to exude that feelings to others in an attempt to bring peace and cooperation into the workplace. This is not to say that I can’t get frustrated or disappointed with the situation and “lose it” a bit. But that is not my traditional modus…

    On the Myers Brigg test my extravert was 11%, my intuitive was 12%, my feeling was 50% and my judging was 11%. I have slight preference of extraversion over introversion, which does not surprise me at all as I have always been outgoing in most situations, the only time I seem to be a little more introvert is when I am around a new crowd and chose to sit back and watch how people behave before I come out of my shell. My intuition is also slightly preferred over my sensing, which also does not surprise me as in life my gut instincts have rarely guided me in the wrong direction, I also prefer feeling over thinking which at times has not been the best thing for me in the past when it comes to making an important decision. Last but not least is the slight preference I have of judging over perceiving, I think in everyone this can be human nature however for the most part I do my best to have all the facts before coming to a conclusion about a person, thing or an idea.…

    During this semester, I discovered many points, different views, and values I carry that I had not seen before and in addition I learned about my personality. I had a sense of who I was and what my personality was and learned more of my personality because of the Meyers Briggs Personality Inventory survey. This survey allowed me to discover more of my personality traits and the ISTJ personality type describes my traits. The ISTJ personality is seen as being “ quiet, serious earn success by thoroughness and dependability. Practical, realistic, and responsible. Decide what should be done and work toward it, regardless of distractions… Value tradition and loyalty.” (Meyers Briggs Personality Inventory survey) This inventory reflected my personality,…

    In the first assessment tool “What Is My Basic Personality?” the focus was on the five-factor model of personalities which are-extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience. Based off this evaluation, my basic personality indicates that I am moderately extroverted because I scored a ten. My conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness to experience scores were high with a score of fifteen. My personality does indicate that I am someone who is agreeable because I scored thirteen. According to the analysis and interpretation, a high agreeableness and conscientiousness score indicates someone who “is good-natured, cooperative, and trusting” (Robbins, 2007 pg.9). A high conscientiousness score represents “someone who is responsible, dependable, persistent, and achievement oriented” (Robbins, 2007 pg.9). Also, a high emotional stability score indicates “someone who is calm, enthusiastic, and secures (Robbins 2007 pg.9). Finally, a high openness to experience score signifies someone who is “imaginative, artistically sensitive, and intellectual” (Robbins, 2007 pg 9). My score indicates that I have a positive emotional stability level, conscientious and openness to experience. However, extraversion and agreeableness were moderate scores which imply that I can improve in these areas.…

    4. The result of the assessment has given me the understanding of where I tend to draw my energy from, being introverted I tend to draw energy from my experiences and myself. The biggest factor, for me, in understanding whether I am extroverted or introverted is to have the ability to make adjustment to enable me to become a better leader. I see that I need to be engage more sociably to ensure that I do not project a standoffish attitude toward others. Since my score was an eighteen, I do show some social traits but tend to prefer to be and work alone. This can give others the impression that I am unapproachable and therefore would not lend itself to being a good leader that projects that they are open to all discussions whether it would be positive or negative. I can develop a plan to become more open and engage with others. I have already started this process as I have developed a daily walk around the shop floor engaging others during my walk. This process has given me the opportunity to understand others…

    After taking the Big 5 Personality test it described me as being a type with neuroticism. Of course I was not pleased with the results because it described me as being someone who is anxious, temperamental, self-conscious, a worrier, emotional, vulnerable, and highly strung (Manning & Curtis, 2009). Some of this is in fact true but I also scored highly in conscientiousness, extroversion, and agreeableness but neuroticism had the highest of all of them. According to the text my personality is highly influenced by heredity (Manning & Curtis, 2009). It also states that my personality is not the best fit for being a leader. I tend to shy away from being a leader anyway and it doesn’t bother me one bit. The upside of my personality is that I am very careful and put a lot of thought into the decisions I make about anything. I don’t think that people with my personality type are all that bad. We just have to find healthy ways to control our anxiety and emotions. The downside is that I am very defensive at times and have a hard time trusting others. According to an article I found people who have my personality type are also more prone to abuse illegal substance, higher inflammation in the body, and have an increased mortality rate (Castillo, 2012). As I said this puts me on the bottom totem pool as far as being a leader because I don’t handle myself well in that arena. Due to the fact that my personality is this type I prefer to work alone and I am always closed off in my office from my co-workers. I am always friendly and cordial but because of how I am I tend to shy away from trying to be in any leadership positions. I noticed that every job that I have taken my supervisor always has to pull me into the office about being defensive and I am getting tired of it now so I have to find a way to control my emotions and still be productive.
