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. It is not uncommon for businesses, government jobs and other institutions to incorporate the test to see whether an individual would fit into the culture and atmosphere of the company. 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 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.…

The test looks at four different dichotomies of personality that are seen in people. It consists of four basic dichotomous indices: extroversion/introversion; sensing/intuitive; thinking/feeling, and judgment/perception. These dichotomies make up 16 possible distinctive types of personalities. These preferences are measured in the instrument in order to know the person’s personality type. The first is known as the favorite world. This dichotomy is to understand if the person prefers to focus on the inner or outer world. This would be to know as introversion (I) or…
In order to better understand myself and others, I turned to the reliable, comprehensive Jung typology test. Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, compiled this personality test based on the work of famous early twentieth century psychologist Carl Jung. The test determines one's personality type based on four parameters – an introverted/extroverted…
Is a person’s behavior analyzed by the situation they are in or is their behavior guided by their personality? For instance, if an individual who is usually calm and mellow turns aggressive during a sports game, is it safe to say that the aggressive behavior is a result of the sport or is that part of his personality? This can be either or. Behavior can be understood by the person’s personality as well as the environments that they are put in, when the situation they are in changes their personality changes to accommodate the situation, this can be classified as situational behavior. The dispositional theory tries to identify psychological…
The results of my test results are as followed: extravert 19%, sensing 2%, feeling 22%, and judging 9%. I have a slight preference of extraversion over introversion, a slight preference of sensing over intuition, slight preference of feeling over thinking, and judging over perceiving. This makes my personality type ESFJ.…
In the Myers-Briggs Type indicator/Jung’s Typology Test results I scored ENFJ, which stands for extrovert, intuitive, feeler, and judger. These results seem extremely accurate to me. I do enjoy spending time with people, talking to them, and trying my best to understand them. People fascinate me yet I find it difficult to open up to the people around me, which is a common characteristic among ENFJ’s. Being intuitive, I tend to look at the big picture rather than detail. I rely on my gut rather than my conscious. As a feeler, the decisions I make tie in with the values I grew up learning, leading with my heart and naturally gravitate towards people. Lastly, as a judger, I am super organized! Having a preference towards planned and settled activities.…
On the Myers Briggs Type indicator, I am categorized as ESFG which stands for Extroversion, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging. I agree with most of my assessment. I am warm, sympathetic and helpful. I do disagree with the judging. I know that in my past I was very judgmental. Being judgmental was a character flaw that I have worked very hard to correct. In the Strong Interest Inventory my highest themes were Social, Realistic, and Artistic (SRA) I agree with most of the assessment as well. The inventory stated I enjoyed teamwork, people, and community service I feel I excel in these areas. I do agree with the realistic score because I do love the outdoors but working with machinery and computer networks is not my forte. In the Artistic theme I…
Of the many ways that exist to classify and conceptualize individual differences, some are obvious and somewhat visible, such as gender, race, language, origin and / or social background. Other forms, perhaps not as visible, are nonetheless influential distinctions such as culture or personality. The personality, like many things in life can be difficult to explain, is what makes every human being different, unique and exceptional. Today, the personality is an issue around the world. It reflects who we really are. Although most people use the term "personality" to identify the most obvious characteristics of a persons, psychologists are addressed in regards to this to explain why people with similarity in genetic background, experience and motivations can react quite differently to the same situation, and to explain why people with different genetic, experience and / or motivations past, but similar reactions to a single event. I intend to share with you my account of the personality, as it defines me as an individual and finally I will discuss what factors make a personality test is reliable and valid.…
My personality type is INTJ. I am 78% introvert, 25% intuitive, 12% thinking, and 56% judging, (www.humanmetrics.com, 2011). I found the test to be accurate and agreed with the results. Introverts are perfectionists that have a high level of confidence. Most introverts are logical thinkers that open their minds to all possibilities. “INTJs are ideal people. They think anything is possible and everything is negotiable, (www.humanmetrics.com, 2011). I possess this introvert quality. I believe that there are always exceptions to rules.…

First I took the personaily test that stated that my personality type is ENTJ. For me to obtain an understanding of my personality type, it is important for me to develop an interpretation of the meaning of ENTJ. Briefly, the ‘E’ refers to Extroversion (vs. Introversion), which means that I am outgoing and tend to focus on the outer world of people and things. The ‘N’ refers to Intuitive (vs. Sensing), which means my interests lie in relationships, and I focus on the future with a view towards patterns and possibilities. The ‘T’ refers to Thinking (vs. Feelings), which means I tend to base decisions primarily on thinking things through instead of emotions. The ‘J’ refers to Judging (vs. Perceptive), which means I prefer to approach life in a more planned and organized manner and like to have things settled. On an overall perspective, as an EFTJ, I am a warm, empathetic, responsive, and responsible person. I am highly attuned to the emotions, needs, and motivations of others. I look to find potential and good in everyone, and I enjoy helping others to fulfill their potential. I can be a catalyst for individual and group growth, as I am loyal and responsive to praise and criticism. I am sociable, a good facilitator to others in a group and can provide inspiring leadership.…
My personality type is an Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving (ISFP), which means I am introverted feeling with extraverted sensing. As an ISFP, I tend to be quiet, reserved and more often than not keep my feelings to myself. Due to my personality type, one of my biggest weaknesses is that I am non-confrontational to a fault and would much rather accomplish a mission with everyone originally agreeing and being on the same page rather than have to possibly put someone on the spot for being difficult to work with. I am going to use the fact that I took the personality test to my advantage and to the advantage of the organization I work for. I will do this by understanding that not everyone has the same personality type and realizing that…
