There are two types of personality assessment tools that I would recommend to ESA in recruiting their new employees, namely the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Personality-job fit theory by John Holland. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) The MBTI was a personality assessment tool developed by Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs as a result of their research with the theory of personality types by Carl Jung. The MBTI can be used to determine one's personality type, preference and strengths. It allows us to delve into our personalities, covering what we fancy and detest, our strong points and shortcomings, potential career predilection, and how compatible we are with others. Based on MBTI, people will be classified into one of the 16 personality types, each represented by a string of alphabets based on the following four types of scales that describes how one perceive themselves. Extraversion or Introversion (Are you outwardly or inwardly focused?) For extraverted people, they tend to be chatty, gregarious, prefer to be in a fast-paced surrounding, tend to work out what they have in mind with other people and enjoy being the focal point. For introverted people, they are more reserved, prefers a slower pace to ponder, tend to cultivate their thoughts inside their heads and would want to observe than to be the focal point. Sensing or Intuition (How do you prefer to take in information?) For people who prefer sensing, they focus on the reality of how things are, pays attention to concrete facts and details, lean toward concepts that can be applied practically and portray things unequivocally. For intuitive people, they think out of the box, sees the big picture on how everything comes together, and portray t... ... middle of paper ... ...am has great synergy. To achieve synergism and maintaining it, team members have to be willing to work together, give guidance, support and apprize one another. Using the MBTI, a candidate with the ENFP personality type will best suit ESA's culture and work style. ENFP individuals are agog, creative, spontaneous, optimistic, encouraging and coltish. They value inspiration, looking forward to starting new projects and sees the potential in other people. Being in the AV industry, ingenuity and innovativeness are paramount to the survivability of the company and how it can distinguish itself from others. Also, since ESA has a open atmosphere and informal vibe in its culture, people who work there should not be one who is conformed to routines. ENFPs are good at coming up with new ideas, and with their natural zeal and charisma, they will also make a capable leader.
Understanding why people do what they do has baffled people for centuries. The Myers-Briggs Personality test has answer a few of these questions. Are you an Extrovert or an Introvert, Sensor or iNtuitive, a Thinker or a Feeler, a Judger or Perceiver? Once you have the tools to understand yourself, you are capable of understanding others. How does your personality complement a coworker, a family member? How can I be more understanding based on my knowledge of how a coworker comes to conclusions about life and their surroundings?

The Myers and Briggs Analysis is a series of questions that when answered are examined and grouped together in order to determine the personalities of those taking this test. This particular test can result in sixteen different outcomes or types of personalities, which is determined by four different categories that judge if you are introverted or extroverted, use your senses or your intuition, your choice to think or use your feelings, and finally if you are judgmental or perceptive. These series of questions are designed to judge our personalities and help us to determine which career pathways we will be most suited for based on our personality traits and abilities to work well with others, which is important for our future decisions.
Specifically, the ESFP personality is people orientated, enthusiastic, and outgoing. While lacking in the ability to stay on track and keep focused on the task at hand. All ESFPs prefer to work closely with people and will excel even further when they are surrounded by people they enjoy being around. The career opportunities are almost endless, as long as there is someone there they can communicate with, the ESFP is considerably happy. They connect easily with others and their down-to-earth attitude allows them to have the ability to reflect and adapt to their surroundings. Overall, the future for an ESFP is bright and they are able to do whatever they set their mind
Earth is populated by billions of people – one person different from the next. While physical traits like fingerprints and DNA give people their individual identity, there is more to identity than physical traits. The experience of tragedy and joy also plays a critical role in giving people their individual identity. Personality is the other factor that separates one person from others, and the personality of an individual depends heavily on his or her beliefs, culture, and the environment in which he or she is raised. There are several different types of personality tests that one can take to identify certain traits of his or her identity, and one of them is the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). According to MBTI and my life experience, as an ISTP I possess an inquisitive mind, an adventuresome spirit, and a desire to be active.
The following information can be found in the “Results and discussion” section: “The analyses reported above show that MBTI items fail to form the factors hypothesized by the test’s authors” (Saggino, Cooper, & Kline, 2001). The information I found in this study complimented the conclusion of the other article I reviewed. They both concluded that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator had many faults and was not reliable nor valid as far as solid science is concerned.
Extraverts are people who are relatively sociable and outgoing while on the opposite end individuals who are introverts are people who would much rather enjoy the company of close friends and family. People who are high in agreeableness are more likely to be trustworthy. Those who are high in conscientiousness are goal-oriented. Individuals high in neuroticism
Knowing a personal psychological type is key to achieving success in both the work environment and personal relations. One of the most accurate and meaningful personality tests was designed by Carl Jung. It allows one to accurately define their personal traits and characteristics that could greatly influence their behavior at work while also defining the emotional type that affects personal and professional relations. Therefore, by examining the results of this test I am able to identify my psychological type and analyze how it impacts my decision-making, actions and, performance in working environment. Needs work
Sensing is how we take in information from our surrounding world (Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge, 2002). I believe that one can clearly see how being a sensor is beneficial for any member of the military. We rely on what we know, we make decisions based on intelligence, and very seldom do we conduct any kinds of operations without having facts to support us. This is typical for a sensor; acting on data, experience, and facts, rather than going into the unknown (Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge, 2002).
I found the results of my self-assessments to be a very insightful and accurate description of myself. The results of the learning styles test and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II are very valuable for examining my personality traits and learning style and making improvements as needed.

If people were to compare my goals to an Intuitive person, there would be a huge difference. My goals must be realistic and achievable my head is never in the clouds when it comes to life. I prefer things that can be experienced on my own rather than hearing or reading about it from someone else. Being a sensor is great because I can pay attention to detail when it comes to school and my work
Extraversion is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world. Extraverts enjoy eing with people, are full of energy, and often experience positive emotions. They tend to be enthusiastic, action-oriented, individuals who are likely to say "Yes!" or "Let's go!" to opportunities for excitement. In groups they like to talk, assert themselves, and draw attention to themselves. (Beaumont 2003)
I took five personality assessments to see what personalities seem to define who I am. I agree with some of the results, but some I don’t agree with at all. These assessments tend to mostly be accurate, however, some aren't who I am.
I’ve been introverted all my life and if I could change any characteristic and result of the personality test, it would be this one. Introverts tend to think first and act second which I believe is a positive characteristic that applies to me. I’m not a “spur of the moment” type of person in the least therefore I like to think of pros/cons and negative/positive consequences of a decision or action. I also value my alone time and prefer to spend most of my time either alone, with my husband, or with a small group of people.
Extraversion is the number and density of interpersonal interaction, the need for stimulus and the ability to get pleasure (Morris and Feldman 1996). This dimension contrast social, active, individual orientation of individual with silent, serious, shy and quiet person. This area can be measured by two qualities: the involvement of the interpersonal level and energy level. The assessment of the former, extent of the individual likes others accompany, while the latter reflects the rhythm and energy levels of the individual. Outgoing people like to contact with others, full of vitality, often feel positive emotions. They are enthusiastic, like sports, like exciting adventures. In a group, they are very talkative, confident, like
