Different personality traits are discussed from a personal and professional position. After taking the Meyers-Briggs Personality Test, I found out that I am an ESFJ personality. In this paper I will analyze and discuss the validity of this type in both my personal life as well as my career. The majority of the test was accurate, even if it was somewhat disturbing to read.

I break down each letter of my personality type and discuss the different aspects of those letters and how they affect both my career and personal life. Knowing what each letter stands for will help me to utilize my skills and personality to become a better wife, daughter, friend, co-worker, and boss. At the conclusion of this …show more content…
I consider this to be a weakness for my position. In HR, I cannot judge the situation without all the facts. I find it difficult to not go into a situation without a prejudgment. In the same aspect, I sometimes find that by having the prejudgment, I am not easily swayed by the antics of my employees. When I conduct investigation, I have to look at the situation from every angle before I make my final decision. When I first saw that judging was a part of my personality type, I have to be honest in saying I was not pleased. I feel I work incredibly hard not to judge any situation before I have had the chance to hear every angle. I tend to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. With that being said, once someone has abused my trust I have a hard time ever believing them again. This makes my job very difficult some days. When I do investigations, there are times when I have to interview the same person for different grievances. When they lied to me during the first investigation, I automatically assume they will lie the second time. I judge them before I even start my interview. aVery good

When these opinions about individuals or situations are felt strongly, especially when I feel they do not live up to high standards in regards to work ethics or fair treatment of others, I struggle between doing what I feel is just and the potential for conflict, which I prefer to avoid unless necessary. Therefore, I must choose my battles carefully and confide my frustrations to a select few that can then support me should the need arise. Though it is difficult to explain to others that I do not do this to help myself, but instead I wish to have multiple points of view to assess justice to everyone as a whole. Because our personal behavior in organizations has eternal consequences, I work to ensure that fairness is a standard that is upheld (Fischer, 2009). On occasion however, INFJs have been known to overreact to simple disputes and often take their crusades for good to an extreme (Kroeger, 2002). aGood use of a

Many psychologists throughout many years present theoretical approaches in an attempt to understand personality. Hans Eysenck’s approach of personality differed from that of Sigmund Freud and his psychoanalytical theory of personality. Eysenck’s theory of personality relies on the scientific basis of biology in explaining human personality. Although Freud’s theories are intriguing to an open mind, Eysenck’s approach made measurable scientific sense. He relied on the use of trait and factor analysis, which is a statistical method. Freud relied on faith and his personal opinions based on observational research to reach the assumptions that set forth his theories (Feist & Feist, 2009). Eysenck and Freud did not agree on anything about understanding how and why the mind operates the way, it does.
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.
The ability to be self-aware, identify specific personality traits, and assess personal strengths and weaknesses are powerful tools for lifelong personal and professional success. One of the most popular and trusted personality assessment tools utilized today is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (CPP, 2016). According to Meyers-Briggs Personality test my personality type is ESFJ also known as “The Caregiver.” An ESFJ is one of 13 personality types identified through the Myers-Briggs assessment tool (HumanmetricsInc, 2016). This assignment will identify the different aspects of my personality and how they work together. It will also evaluate strengths, weaknesses and organizational behaviors in an effort to maximize professional performance.
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.

I chose to take a self-objective personality assessment on Outofservice.com to analyze my own personality traits. A series of 60 questions were asked for to me to rate my behavior a scale of 1 through 5 to determine my personality. Questions ranged from, how I am at parties to how much I care for others. The website uses the Five-Factor Model to understand the way people’s personalities differ from one another’s, the same model used in general psychology. I was given a percent and a brief description on my behavior in the traits of Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Even though they are many more personality traits, each individual lies somewhere on the spectrum of these five
It is remarkable that by answering a few basic questions, a person can learn key characteristics of his or her personality. After taking the personality test, I learned my general personality type is “The Consul” (ESFJ-A). Individual traits of my personality type are more extroverted than introverted, more observant than intuitive, more feeling than thinking, more judging than prospecting, and more assertive than turbulent. My role is Sentinel and my strategy is People Mastery (“Consul Personality,” 2017). The results of the personality test offered insight into my overall personality type and its social and workplace implications.
According to the study of this course, I have learned many useful management skills and I feel like these skills will be applied to my future career development. When working on the self- assessment tests, I found myself fall into the category of the ISTJ personality types, which as illustrated by Myers Briggs, is the type of personality that is conscientious, considerate, and helpful. Personality traits such as honest, dutiful, practical and responsible are my strengths; personality traits such as stubborn, insensitive and poor communication skill are my weaknesses. Related to the knowledge I have learned in the course I believe both strengths and weakness will have influence to my future career development. In this reflection paper, I will demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses that may place the most influence on my way of success.
The concept of personality has numerous definitions (Fatahi, Moradi, & Kashani-Vahid, 2016). Schultz and Schultz (2009), define personality in its broad sense as the manner of an individual’s behaviour in different situations. This essay explores the nature of personality, with the intention of highlighting its flexibility. The results of numerous empirical research studies are examined in order to investigate if, and how personality changes over time. It will be argued that an individual’s personality has the ability to change throughout their life.
