Human Relations I most definitely agree with my test results. Ever since I was really little I have taken personality tests and I always get ESTJ. It very accurately describes how I feel and think. Since I really like being around people and socializing, I got an E for extraverted. This fits me quite well, I gain energy from being around others rather than being alone. As for the S I got sensing because I focus on the facts and tangible things in life, not on theories and impractical ideas. Concrete concepts and figures are much easier to understand than symbolic ideas and issues. I received a T for thinking because I use logic and reason to make decisions instead of getting emotionally involved. I pride myself on being able to look at situations When in the workplace my time management and organizational skills will make me an asset to my employers and encourage better relationships (DuBrin, 2014, p. 250). Also being able to quickly get to the core issues will help me when dealing with my coworkers. Some of the traits that might hinder work place relationships would be the tendency to criticize and critique others instead of praising them for what they are doing right. Another would be not listening to the ideas or opinions of my coworkers, I tend to get wrapped up in what I think will or is the best and forget to hear what those around me have to say. Another area I need to work on is being a team player (DuBrin, 2014, p. 261). Being there for and supporting those I work with is important yet something I struggle with. I tend to want to do things on my own but I need to learn to share what we’re working on, and treat them like team members. ESTJ’s also tend to be quite judgmental and assume things before they know for sure, it is important that I make sure to have all the details before making coming to a
It took me a little while to think on some of the questions because I had to think about what the true answer was and not just how I wanted to view myself. I’d say most of the results are accurate except for competition and significance. They do not describe my personality because I’m a pretty laid back person and I do not like to measure myself according to other achievements because it would drive me crazy to live my life that way. I’m the type of person that doesn’t care about what other people think about me unless it is my close family and friends. On the other hand discipline was very accurate. I’m the type of person that will get things done because I control that part of my life. I need to be in control of most things in my life or it is too unpredictable and that scares
In the Open-Mindedness personality section, my percentile is a 7. I’m more close-minded, meaning I tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative, and I prefer traditional and familiar experiences. In the Conscientiousness personality section, my percentile is an 87. I’m more conscientiousness, meaning I am reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful, very well-organized, and can be relied upon. When it comes to the Extraversion personality section, my percentile is a 7. I’m introverted, meaning I tend to be shy, reserved, inhibited, quiet, and I probably enjoy spending quiet time alone. When it comes to the Agreeableness personality section, I scored a 78. I tend to be agreeable, meaning I tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, and courteous. Finally, when it comes to the Negative Emotionality personality section, my percentile is 67. I’m a little bit more nervous/High Strung than Calm/Relaxed.
Of the several theories we have discussed involving commitment, I have taken a particular interest in M.P. Johnson’s Theory of Commitment as I feel it very effectively dissects the primary drives that reside behind one’s desire, or lack thereof, to remain committed in a relationship. In his theory, Johnson describes three kinds of perceived commitment that ultimately lead one to the decision to stay in their relationship. These three kinds of commitment discussed are personal, moral and structural commitment (Berscheid & Regan, 2005).
Instead of the results being close such as the last trait I am much more intuitive. The definition of intuition is someone who can acquire knowledge and think without reasoning. They are generally creative people. Sensing is someone who is more practical and think things through. They are less imaginative. I agree with this result since I do find myself being more intuitive because I am interested in doing things that are new and different. For example, when doing something boring I try to make it more fun. Also, I do not necessarily use my senses to think things through. My parents disagree with this result. An intuitive person is someone who is future focused, my parents believe I am the opposite of that and only look at the present. After analyzing this trait I find the test to be
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.
After taking this personality test I could not decide if I felt that my results were accurate about me or not. The personality test resulted in describing me as an extravert, intuitive, feeling, and judging (Humanmetrics,
Although some would argue that their results are nowhere near correct, I would say that mine were, for the most part, spot on. I did conjure up a few disagreements; however, a more detailed and longer test might be able to give me a more in depth and accurate rating of my personality. The conclusions of my test say that I am moderately open to experience, highly conscientious, moderately extraverted, and high in both agreeableness and
I gave this paper a lot of thought before I began to write. ?What qualities and traits do I posses that make me desirable as an employee, a teammate, and as a person?? First, you must be able to identify your own personal strengths and weaknesses in order to become a lifelong learner and an essential part of a ?team?. As technology is constantly growing you have to be willing to accept what makes you an asset or a liability in any given situation you may encounter in your life. The qualities and traits that I feel make me a valuable entity to my employers, co-workers, classmates and within my personal relationships are varied. I will go on to describe some of the attributes I think are most important in establishing and maintaining successful relationships whether personal or work related.
The two areas that best reflect my strong suits are respectful and inspiring. (Steadiness) Respect should not be taken lightly and people want others to show them that they are important. I am not the one to belittle, talk down to someone, embarrass the other person, or not acknowledge someone because they are not like me or do not hold a certain position. People respond in a negative manner and become very defensive when others treat them in any of the ways previously mention. I look at how I want others to consider when speaking and interacting with me. That is the way I have to try to handle myself when dealing with others. Taking calculated risks is what I do best because I cannot stand losing too much if the results do not outweigh the risks involved. I am also very critical on myself and can point out faults in a heartbeat. I have to analyze future actions before I act on anything because I do not want to go wrong or too far away from initial path. Repeating myself or actually running through multiple scenarios takes up a lot of time. Being overly critical on myself will eliminate some of that time that I cannot get back.
The first person I asked was a cousin whom I’ve been close too since infantancy. After I explained to him what each category meant he scored me with the following: open mindedness at 70, conscientiousness at 15, extraversion at 90, agreeableness at 25, and negative emotionality at 20. The one area that was an outlier is agreeableness. Ironically, this is the cousin who broke my spiderman toy years ago as mentioned before and he remembers how I held a grudge for such a long time because of it. When it comes to the similarities the reasons he gave matched up with mine which I assumed would happen. Extraversion was ranked the highest by him because he’s the main person I hangout with so there was some bias in that field. My other assessment came from a teammate who I didn’t meet until August 2017. As expected his assessment had some differences than the one from before. When asked to score my personality he gave the following results: open mindedness at 40, conscientiousness at 25, extraversion at 60, agreeableness at 50, and negative emotionality at 10. Throughout all three evaluations the one consistent rating was found in negative emotionality. This isn’t surprising, I’ve been told that I’m a calm person by most people I encounter. What did surprise me was how lowly extraversion was
I think overall the test was very accurate in describing my personality type. I am a nurturer, kind-hearted, and want to believe the best in people. The portrait of ISFJ’s was spot on, however, I disagree with some of the relationship weaknesses. They described my personality to be very emotionally needy, with a difficult time leaving a bad relationship, or moving on from an ended relationship. I have to disagree with this because I feel I am the type of person that once you lose my trust in a relationship, I am done with trying to make that relationship work. Once I have something against a person, it’s hard for me to over-look the issue, and just keep staying in the relationship. I am very independent and don’t rely much on others for my
It is said that there is no such thing as failure, instead we have results. This was the idea that gave rise to the start of a company and later shooting of this video, in the outskirts of Addis Ababa in Africa. The video is about a shoe company called oliberte, which prides itself as the first company to be offered a fair trade certification. The founder, Mr. Tal Dehtiar has appreciated and employed great motivation methods in the growth of his company in a challenging environment (Oliberte, 2011). Motivation’s purpose is to initiate, guide and maintain goal oriented behaviors on the person that it is applied to. It can be driven by biological, social, emotional or cognitive forces. People are motivated to behave in a certain way because it is a core creational component of the human race. The two motivational theories that can be seen in this video are Mayo’s theory of human relations and Maslow and Herzberg’s theory of human needs (Latham, 2007).
One example that I specifically need to work on is my emotional intelligence. While I am able to maintain my emotional stability I know I lack empathy for others and will need to work on that skill specifically when I become a supervisor. I am always willing to help others, but I try to stay out of the emotional aspect. That is where my type A personality kicks in an I will help on tasks not with the emotional aspects. If I had one weakness that affects my organization, the most that will be the one I need to improve. Not necessarily for the prisoners I deal with but the co-workers and subordinates. One other issues I can work on is my organizational skills and found out I am more of a procrastinator than I once thought. Not that I am a huge procrastinator it is a higher rating than I would like. I need to work on better time management skills, which will reduce work stress due to
In my Learning team, my personal strength is having good people skills. I meet and get involved with new people everyday whether it be work or school related. I enjoy speaking, listening and giving input to my team members so that they are aware that they can count on me to participate as a team player in our Learning Team. Good people skills are very important in a group setting because of all the di...
I believe I have the capacity to maintain work stress and stay positive. It is because I am a positive thinker. From my experience, when I was perceiving inequity or facing stresses from work, I tried to restore equity by extra effort and stay focused on my goal. Therefore, these personality traits help me become a team player. Besides, I have high ethical standards which drives me to embody integrity in my actions. Honesty, integrity are very important personality traits to managers because they have responsibility of financial stewardship. Managers who has high ethical standards are likely to establish a code of ethic to guide team members’ behavior and less likely to manipulate shareholders’ assets. Individuals’ action are value drive, if I am a manager, I value company’s benefit over personal interest and I believe my ethical behaviors helps me to better manage others by building a trustful relationship with my team
