Carl Jung in 1921, developed a theory on personality types. This discovery determined individual’s personalities could be assessed by personality and/or character traits. Centered on these traits, behaviors and patterns are developed that form a person’s overall personality type. Jung’s research further explained that people process information differently according to these findings. Individuals are psychologically either introverted or extroverted, intuitive or sensors, thinkers or feelers, and judgers or perceivers. Based on my completion of the 60 question assessment, Jung’s Personality Test; I will discuss and evaluate my personality type as an ENFJ, the “Extroverted Feeler with Introverted Intuition”.

This book can serve as a very valuable tool to executives and managers of people to assist them with achieving the best results from their employees in the workplace, along with helping them to become better managers and “typewatchers”. Type Talk at Work (2002), divided in three parts, this book assists individuals with self-awareness, application of this knowledge in the ten parts of business as identified in the text, and discusses the 16 personality types in the workplace by pointing out strengths and weaknesses of each type. (Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge,
The purpose of this analysis is to identify my personality type, temperament, and how it relates to my behavior and success in the workplace. The first phase of this paper is to identify my four letter personality type using the Jung Typology Test which is based on Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs Myers personality type theory (Jung Typology Test, 2016). I will also discuss where I fall within Keirsey’s Temperaments; this personality typing combines two of the four sets of preferences in to four distinct temperament categories (Personalitypage, 2015a). Keirsey identified four basic temperaments known as Guardian, Rational, Artisan, and Idealist (Keirsey, n.d.). I will explain each of the four letters of my type and provide specific examples of how they relate to me in both a professional and personal level. In the final phase I will discuss my personality strengths and weaknesses and how I can use the assessment for overall personal growth.
We have also read some information about how Carl Jung defines personality and he uses, eight personality types based introversion as well as extroversion. Jung states that our attitudes seem to have a tendency, to behave in a certain manner. Jung believed that individuals who classify themselves as introverts place importance on their personal views of the world, while individuals who classify themselves as extroverts seem to place more importance on detachment and surrounding influences.
As we live our lives each day we probably do not contemplate our personality types or how our types intertwine themselves in our mannerisms and actions. I recently took a personality test from the “Jung Typology Test”. The test revealed that I am an extravert, sensing, thinking, and judging which we will refer to as an ESTJ throughout this discussion. The personality test reveals your four types of personality along with your two temperaments associated with your type. As an ESTJ, I fall into the SJ (sensing, judging) temperament. In this discussion, I will attempt to explain what I have learned about myself through the personality test as well as correlate my type with my temperament. With the information revealed in tests, I will reflect
Within the Jung Typology Test (JTT) it states that my type of personality is introverted, sensing, feeling and judging. The results indicated I am an introvert over extrovert, the score showed 56%. There was a marginal or no preference to sensing over intuition at 1% for this result. Moderate preference to feeling over thinking at 25%, and a strong preference to judging over perceiving at 78%. So this is saying that I am an introverted sensing with extroverted feeling.
The Jung Personality Type Test is familiar to me as I have taken it before and know of its general premise. The test is popular in the business world but is heavily criticized by academics due to its low validity and reliability. I have taken the test several times and never received the same personality type twice. This does not mean that there have not been similarities in my results; on every test certain aspects of the results stay true and the percentages of specific personality traits stay within close range. The result of my Jung Test-- for this assignment-- classified my personality in the ENFJ typology with dominance in both the Extrovert and Introvert (E-I) traits equally, Intuition, Feelings and Judging. While I believe that we
The bases of this paper will be based on the results that I had obtained when I took the Myers-Briggs personality test. The results that I had obtained was that I was determined to be an ENFJ. I will go into depth about letter and how each represents that a specific aspect of my personality. The results that I had received were not what I had expected, but the more I read about the trait the more I realized how it suited me. I will also talk about the information that I had found useful from the book, Type Talk at Work: How the 16 Personalities Types Determine Your Success on the Job by Otto Kroeger, which gave me insight on how to interact with other personality types especially in the work environment. The information that I absorbed from the personality test and from the book will go into use in my personal and work life so that both environments will be cohesive and peaceful.
Jung’s personality theory is known as analytic theory. He expanded his knowledge on unconscious to apply hidden thoughts and ideas of an individual. He believed that every mind had conscious and unconscious levels (Cloninger, 2013). Jung created eight personality types from two attitudes: Introversion and Extroversion. Introversion is known as being aware of one’s inner world, while extroversion is surrounding one’s self with the environment becoming expressive. There are four functions within the two attitudes: Feelings (a person understanding the value of a conscious activity), Thinking (understanding the meaning of things), Sensation (a person that know something exist), and Intuition (knowing about something with unconscious
When I took the Jung Typology Test I received the letters of ENFJ which stand for extrovert, intuitive, feeling, and judging. I was happy with the results that I received because I thought it was spot on with how I usually act in my day to day life. For instance, I received extrovert which holds true to the way I act in that I am very outgoing, and I am never shy to approach people and strike up a conversation. This would come as a shock to people I was friends with in high school but after putting myself out there
The Jung Typology Test is designed to give the participant a 4-letter formula which describes strength preferences of one’s personality type. The formula is based on whether the participant favors Extraversion or Introversion, Sensing or iNtuition, Thinking or Feeling, and Judging or Perceiving when it comes to the participant’s general attitude. One will also receive a Temperament, which is based on one’s personality type formula, and can be used to make somewhat accurate predictions of the participants preferred behavior. In this essay I will discuss the results that I received after taking the test. Having a personality type that prefers extraversion, sensing, feeling, and judging comes with many strengths and weaknesses when working in
The personality assessment I completed was the Jung Typology test which gives you a four letter personality type based on the response to various questions. The results of test did not surprise, as I was reading the definition of each letter, I was agreeing with it. I believe that I am aware of the type of personality that I have and the results from this assessment were accurate. On this assessment I got my four letter personality which explains some of my behaviors and could possibly affect my success as a student in a good way. Some of the emotional and physical behaviors that I tend to exhibit are being very sensitive towards other feelings and emotions, as well as enjoying being part of my community and achieving my max potential by planning ahead.
I(introvert), N(iNutitive), T(thinking), and J(judging) is one of the rarest of the sixteen psychological types and accounts for 1-2% of the population and just 0.8% of women. It is often a challenge to find like-minded individuals who are able to keep up with our relentless intellectualism and their chess-like maneuvering. Those of us with the INTJ personality type are imaginative, ambitious yet reserved, and amazingly curious. Good
Much of Jung’s work, controversial as it was, is still in use or extended upon to some degree today. Katherine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers developed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator based on Jung’s categorization of the psyche. Through taking this test, one can be identified as being one out of sixteen different categories such as ENFJ (extroverted feeling with intuiting) or ISTJ (introverted sensing with thinking). Jung’s Word Association test is also in wide use in the psychiatric field today.
After taking the online personality test I learned that I am an INTJ personality. Consequently, this was not a big surprise for me because I had already taken a similar test in my psychology class and ended up with the same result. I did not learn how accurate the test was the first time since I did not do further analysis on the exact meaning of my personality type. The 16 personality type’s website de...

According to Carl Jung’s typology theory each individual develops personal preferences which become the foundation for how they face life’s challenges and interact with others. Based on this knowledge Isabel Briggs Myers developed the Myers-Briggs Type indicator (MBTI). This test helps individuals identify and study their individual preference and those of others. After taking the Jung Typology Test, which is based on the MBTI, it was confirmed that my four dominate personality preferences are Introversion, iNtuition, Thinking and Judging. Each personality preference is discussed in detail including strengths and weaknesses. The combination of the four make me a INTJ of the world. This is also discussed in detail including strengths, weaknesses,
