According to the Myer Briggs test and the test by Falikowski there are 16 personality types that can define any type of person. The outcome of my test designated me as an ESFP but I am not confident in the result for a variety of reasons. Hypothetically this designation should enable me to more effectively be able to break down the walls to communication in my life when trying to communicate with both friends, family and strangers. In theory not only should it aid me in understanding my own personality but also others and how our personality types best interact. With an understanding of my personality type I can also infer how my type may cause issues in my personal life and my professional life, yet with this understanding I shall be able …show more content…
The results of the test appear to be crucial to not only helping myself currently but also in the later legs of my life as I meet new people and have to develop as a person to suit the needs around my and my future endevours. The results of the test I underwent classified me as an ESFP. Each letter of the classification is intended to represent a certain aspect of my own personality. The letter E in my designation stands for extraverted, the S represents that I am allegedly a sensing type, the F represents that I am a feeling type and the final letter, P, corresponds to being a perceiving type. While I can understand the merits of knowing what personality type this test claims to classify me as I lean towards to notion that the result and the test itself is nonsense. I do not believe that the test is accurate for a variety of reasons. The first is that being designated as a certain personality type pigeonholes myself into one select personality type without being able to experience aspects of other types. Take for example how if I was designated as a feeling type that I would rarely be able to make rational decisions as I would …show more content…
With a clearer understanding of how I function and how others function I should be able to not only understand why I act a certain way but also be able to perceive why others act as they do. Not only should this deeper understanding of myself aid me in my day to day life and personal relationships, but it should also allow me to make the most of my professional career and relationships by modifying myself to each unique scenario and person that I come across in the years to come. As a whole I find the results of the test intriguing in relation to their precision, reliability and how it pertains to myself, my relationships and my ability to communicate gracefully both in the present but also in the
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...
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 Meyers-Briggs personality assessment for ESFP stands for: Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving. 16personalities call the ESFP type “the entertainer” as they are well known for enjoying the spotlight, attending social activities, and overall love being around
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was created in 1943 by a curious mother-daughter pair, Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. After meeting Isabel’s future husband, Katherine became interested in personality type theories, realizing that Clarence, the fiancé, had a different way of viewing the world than their family. The main ideas that Briggs and Myers based their research on was backed by the psychiatrist Carl Jung, who is known as one of the founding fathers of psychology alongside Sigmund Freud. The concept of people being different in terms of the way they see the world, take in information, and how they make decisions encouraged these two women to demonstrate and present these ideas to the world and make them accessible to a
The Myers Briggs personality test to my sister, Karli Brewington. Karli Brewington is a ninth grader at Rock Hill High School in high academic achieving honors classes. Her rigorous class load and reading comprehension allowed her to understand a large majority of the questions on this test. Her results came back as ENFP ( E: extroverted, N: intuitive, F: feeling, and P: perception). This feedback is actually quite accurate for my sister. She is very curious and observant. My sister is also great at relaxing and being popular and very sociable. Her negative attributes are also very accurate. She has trouble focusing, overthinks in any circumstance, gets stressed out very easily, and is highly emotional in which
The first personality test was the basic personality test. The assessment from the basic personality type indicated that my personality classification is an ESTJ (Llorens, 2010). The results found that I am more extroverted than introverted; I tend to be more sensing than intuitive, more of a thinker versus a feeling individual, and I am judging versus perceiving. The interpretation indicated that I am realistic, logical, analytical, decisive, organized, and I like to run things. The results were interesting, the analysis and interpretation was extremely accurate to my tendencies and my current role in my organization. The result provided me with insight to my tendencies and approaches to situations that I face each day as a leader in a multi-faceted organization (Llorens, 2010). Additionally the results indicated that my personality type matches my career aspirations as an Executive Program Manager in a corporate setting. Understanding and accepting my tendencies as an ESTJ personality type helps me be more introspective and insightful of my approaches and how I treat people and convey expectations will make me a more aware of weaknesses and strengths and use the knowledge to improve how I engage with others.
Our personality traits are unique indicators to determine how people perceive the world and make decisions. The test consist of a series of questions that measures an individual’s temperament and personality traits. After taking the test, my four letter type is ESTJ and my two letter temperament is SJ. According to Jung’s and Briggs Myers theories of personality types, ESTJ stands for Extravert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging; meaning extraverted thinking with introverted sensing. David Keirsey associated the different temperament types with the different personality types. ESTJ falls under the SJ group, “The Guardians”. The Guardians main objective is known as seeking security. Although, I don’t think the test is a good measurement of one’s personality traits, because there are many factors that could influence an individual response to the test. It is possible that people conform their thoughts to make themselves feel

My personality type is Extroverted, intuitive, feeling, perceptive or ENFP. According to the description in the exercise, ENFP's are warm, enthusiastic and live their outer life more with intuition and their inner more with feeling. This assessment is consistent with the results that I received in part I of the exercise. I am an extroverted person who enjoys being around and working with people.
Her results were different compared to mine, as she got ESFP (The Entertainer) on 16 Personalities and on Human Metrics’ 16 Types. In comparison, we are both extroverts who love to rile up others. But the difference is she seeks the party, while I inspire others to seek or create the party, whichever suits both mine and their interests. While she has a more colorful way of storytelling, I tend to organize my thoughts to what I feel is a rational order. Simply put, she values fun over all else, followed by my pursuit of inspiration more than anything else. Up next is my mother, Cheryl. She got a ISFJ, or the Defender Archetype on 16 Personalities. Conversely, she got INFJ (The Advocate on 16 Personalities) on Human Metrics with a 6 percent difference in the second letter between N and S. There are huge contrasts between being an introvert, which she is, and being an extrovert, which I am. She also focuses on working rather than inspiring, which is an important cooperation in the relationship between I and my mother. She tends slightly to get results then or now, depending on the test and context, rather than seeing what the future holds, like I do. Mom and I, in contrast with contractions, share trust over emotion rather than thinking, and see in detail rather than the big picture. Those are just two examples of personality test takers, there could be more that I haven’t seen, heard from,
While taking this test and reading about the information that was provided I was not really surprised about what information was given about my personality. I am 95% of what this test says I am. This exercise helps very little because I arty new 95% of the information is going to give me, it is a good tool to give you that support he would need if you are doubting yourself.
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,
Throughout the beginning of this semester I have looked at how individuals behave within business organizations. Through various exercises and results, I have found a number of patterns within my behavior and interests. I have become aware what interests me, and a number of skills/abilities I was oblivious I had. This reflection and in class exercises has allowed me to expand my skills, abilities, and behaviors, well fitting them into prospective future employment.
Allport defines personality as ‘the dynamic organisation within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment’ (Allport, 1937). An individual’s unique personality traits and attributes are a powerful indicator of how he/she will interact with the work environment. The difference between average and outstanding employees can often be solely personality related. As the employee is the most valuable asset to the company, ‘selecting the right employee during the process is critical’ (Carbery and Cross, 2013, pp. 41-53)
that test was my personality type which is (ISTJ) Introvert, Sensing, Thinking and Judging. I
