My Myers Brigg Type Indicator
MBTI Assessment Review:
The results of my Myers Brigg Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment are entailed in the chart below which indicates which type I prefer in each of the four categories. Figure 1: MBTI results with clarity indication
The results from the MBTI study identified my personality type as an ESTJ. This personality type tends to be logical, analytical, decisive, and tough minded. I know that these descriptions match my own personality as I have always been a stubborn person and my educational preferences which led me to become an engineer have always heavily focused on analysis.
