According to the results of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Jerry is an Introverted-Intuitive-Feeling-Perceiving (INFP) individual. INFP’s are idealistic, loyal to their values and to people who are important to them, curious, quick to possibilities that can be catalysts for implementing ideas. INFP’s seek to understand people and to help them fulfil their potential, as well as they are adaptive, flexible, and accepting. Jerry struggled with the MBTI assessment the most. Jerry’s MBTI score shows he slightly leads more towards feeling than thinking by two points with little distinction between the two. It is worth noting that feeling and thinking are not to be confused with emotion and intelligence. The report shows Jerry bases his decisions …show more content…
Jerry enjoys taking time for himself to recharge. In his own space, he also reported he tends to process information internally. Results for intuition show he would rather solve problems internally than through hands-on experience. Intuitionist can grasp the bigger picture and ideas but have a difficult time turning it into a reality. Perceivers gather information and prefer a flexible and spontaneous way of life, they adapt to their surroundings. For the NEO-PI-3 Personality Assessment Jerry scored low T scores for both Conscientiousness and Extraversion, his results reflect his character as lethargic, having very little to no motivation and goals, tendency to only respond to pressing demands. They rarely initiate activities or plans and often find themselves left behind indicating an introversive personality correlating to his results for the MBTI inventory on …show more content…
Although openness is not equivalent to intelligence, it is often labeled as intelligent. Open individuals are unconventional and according to the Strong Interest Inventory and Strong Interest Explorer Jerry’s interest does not fall under conventional occupations. They entertain new ethical, social, political ideas, and unconventional values. They are more curious about both inner and outer world, like physics and psychology. Introspection is a characteristic of Openness to Experience, focused on ideas and activities they can pursue alone and prefer occupations they can do alone. Jerry’s very low Conscientiousness T score indicates he is inept and unreliable; also, more lackadaisical in working towards his goals and may be interested in hedonistic and sex than active processing of carrying out tasks. His very Conscientiousness and high Neuroticism T score indicate Jerry is often at the mercy of his impulses. That he finds it difficult to resist any urge and that he lacks self-control. He is not act in ways that are beneficial to his long-term best interest. Jerry resulted average for Agreeableness on the NEO-PI-3 personality assessment, implying he assumes the best of anyone he meets and is easily trusting. The T scores on Extraversion and Agreeableness reflect how Jerry prefers isolation but also how he is sympathetic
Having used myself as a case study and getting my results from the MBTI assessment, I got to deduce that my type or class was ENTJ. After analysis, the test deductions considered me to have a moderate preference of 3 aspects that were extraversion over introversion (44%), intuition over sensing (50%), and thinking over feeling (12%) and finally I slightly preferred judging over perceiving (22%).
In the area of decision making I believe myself to be more Thinking than Feeling. An example of the thinking preference can be seen in my role as a consistent, objective disciplinarian. My firm-mindedness in this area has produced children that are a joy to teach as well as to take out in public. Our family receives numerous compliments on how well behaved and delightful our children are. I believe it is my desire for justice and my clarity in rules and expectations that make this achievable for my children.
And urge for experiences. The factor relates to intellect, openness to new ideas, cultural interests, educational aptitude and creativity as well as an interest in varied sensory and cognitive experiences. People with a high openness to experience have broad interests, are liberal and like novelty. The preservers with low openness to experience are conventional, conservative and prefer familiarity (Howard & Howard, 1995).
Having completed the Myers-Briggs Personality Test previously, I was identified as an INTP, which stands for introverted, intuitive, thinking, and perceiving. Accordingly, this personality is often labeled as “The Architect” or “The Logician.” Despite my previous results, I repeated the test as instructed in the assignment. Consequently, based on the outcome of the test, my personality has altered in the past year. Thus, my updated results based on this analysis were, INTJ (introverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging). However, the two personalities are similar, as only one trait seems to have varied. Therefore, instead of holding a characteristic grounded in perception, it would appear that I am inclined to mannerisms that indicate
The Myers-Briggs profile was based on the test developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers (“The History of the MTBI assessment”, 2017). There are eight letters that can make up your profile E, N, F, P, I, S, T, and J. “E” stands for extrovert, meaning someone outgoing or social. “N” stands for intuitive, meaning the person goes off of their reasoning or feelings about something. “F” is for feelings, which represent an emotional state or belief about something. “P” is the symbol for perceiving, which means the way you process or take in a certain situation. “I” is for introvert, someone who keeps to themselves. “S” is for sensing, meaning you use common sense. “T” is for thinking, meaning you use your intellect. Finally, “J” is judging, which is making a
After taking the MBTI Assessment I do not agree with the results. My results showed that I had marginal or no preference of extraversion over introversion. Also, that I have moderate preference of intuition over sensing, moderate preference of feeling over thinking. And moderate preference of judging over perceiving. I did not understand the results regarding extraversion and introversion.
There has yet to be any determining evidence defines the characteristics of extraversion. The experimenters in this particular experiment have hypothesized that the facets of extraversion are somehow linked by reward sensitivity. This hypothesis was also tested against a model in which they are linked by sociability. There has been much work on this topic in the past, beginning with the works of Jung and James in the early 20th century—to the work of Watson and Clark in 1997. And even after a century of study, they are still unable to truly define the characteristics of the extraversion dimension of personality. In the many attempts to define extraversion, Watson and Clark have defined six basic facets of the personality trait. These are: venturesome, affiliation, positive affectivity, energy, ascendance, and ambition. Researchers Depue and Collins, in 1999, also offered a more succinct depiction of the characteristics of extraversion, this only having three basic parts. The first being affiliation, the enjoyment and value of close interpersonal bonds, also being warm and affectionate. The second, agency, being socially dominant, enjoying leadership roles, being assertive and exhibitionistic, and having a sense of potency in accomplishing goals. The final facet being impuslivity, but this one has been argued upon whether it should be included at all in the characteristics of extraversion at all.
The Myers and Briggs personality test is unlike many of the personality tests you will find randomly online because it was designed to examine the ways in which you focus on the world and make everyday decisions. After taking this test myself I have found out a few things about myself that I did not really notice before. According to the Myers-Briggs test my personality type is INFP, which stands for Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Perceiving. At the start of this test I had no idea that I was considered an introvert because as far as I can remember I have always loved being around people and never really thought about things before acting, which is the exact personality of an extrovert. The end of this personality test has a section that describes the different traits of those under that category and as for what it says about me I do feel that it matches some of my traits to a tee, but at the same time I feel like there are a few traits that are a bit off. Perso...
The Keirsey Temperament Sorter II identified my temperament as artisan, and the classic temperament report identified me as an ISTP, or Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving. The description of my temperament was dead on with my view of myself, especially the more in depth classic temperament. My strengths include an excellent ability to apply logic and reason to solve problems or discover how things work, and being high;y practical and realistic, however I will not function well in regimented or structured environments, as I will become bored or feel stifled. This temperament profile also correlates to my learning style, as the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II results also mention that I learn best hands-on, and states that ISTP’s are a master of their physical environment.

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,
264). MBTI has four dimensions that help identify the manner in which people prefer to use their capacities for perception and judgement. The four dimensions include extraversion versus introversion (E-I), sensing or intuition (S-N), thinking or feeling (T-F), and judging or perceiving (J-P) (Hays, 2013). It is common for an extrovert to prefer to use their energy towards the outer world of people/things while introverts are the opposite. Furthermore, people who are “sensing” prefer to rely on their senses as their mode of perceiving while “intuitive” individuals rely on perception coming from the outside world. As for individuals who are considered “thinking or feeling” people, prefer to absorb data through either sensing or intuition. Lastly, “judging or perceiving” is a person’s preference for dealing with the external
This paper researches the typical traits of the INTJ personality type according to the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator. Additionally, I will be discussing the opposite personality of INTJ, type ESFP. I will detail two past experiences where my INTJ personality posed problems. This paper will also explore strategies that may benefit the INTJ personality type, myself included.
Hans Eysneck suggested that personality had three dimensions: extraversion-introversion, emotional stability - neuroticism, and psychoticism. Today, after the findings of Robert McCrae and Paul Costa, that theory has been expanded to include openness to experience, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. The positives of this theory are in its clarity. Being able to pinpoint traits and tie a personality to it are very advantageous. The big disadvantage is that trait theory fails to address the development of traits, and gives no theories into personality
