Reflection Paper On Personality

I took the personality test. It came back that my personality was INTJ. Looking at the percentages I was 19% Introvert, 31% Intuitive, 16% Thinking, and 44% Judging. At work I keep in mind the verse 1 Timothy 4:12, “Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for the believers in your speech, your conduct, your love, faith, and purity” (Good News Bible, 1976). I believe that my personality is innate that it was in me at birth, but through religion it has also been shaped to make me the individual I am today. Needs work

This has helped me have a better understanding of myself as well those that work with me. A couple of weeks ago I had a conversation with a senior manager. I mentioned to him that I noticed that he can pretty much deal with any type of personality. When he responds it is always with the upmost respect. Even if a person did get under a skin with a comment or action you would never be able to tell. Though I noticed this trait weeks ago, “Type Talk at Work” helped me understand the concept. I am learning to not take it personally, but that it is the person’s personality. That we all come from different backgrounds, cultures, religions, and different personality types. By improving my understanding of the needs and behavioral preferences of people within my organization (Kroeger, Thusesen, & Rutledge, 2002). I also keep the following Bible verse with me throughout my day to day at work. It comes from 2 Chronicles 1:10-12, “So give me the wisdom and knowledge I need to rule over them. Otherwise how would I be able to rule this people of yours?” God responds, “You have made the right choice…you have asked for wisdom and knowledge so that you can rule my people, over whom I have made you king. And in addition I will give you more wealth, treasure, and fame than any king has ever had before or will ever have again.” (Good News Bible,

    My favorite theory of personality is Carl Rogers’ person-centered theory. “Rogers believed that within each of us is an active, controlling drive toward fulfillment of our potentials that enables us to maintain and enhance ourselves.” I feel this relates to my Christian faith because I am constantly “maintaining and enhancing toward fulfillment.” I strive daily to be a good Christian and a good student. I have mentioned in other assignments that I am a work in progress and I believe we all are. The priest at my hometown church, Fr. Renato Cruz, always adds after he gives us a goal to accomplish that “the rewards are out of this world.”

    In the day to day life, experiences and connections are made. Many things that occur in one’s life can all stem from their individual personality, but interpreting how one’s personality guides their life presents a difficult challenge. Many actions, quirks, and patterns that a person has are easily noted due to the ability to see it, but the puppeteer behind these habits is an individual’s personality. A certain personality type can affect the perception of certain events and the reactions/feelings to certain outcomes. While one person might see a situation as dreadful, another may see it entirely different. We tend to find ourselves side by side with people we see similarities between due to a parallel in certain traits, but no two individuals are exactly the same based on differences in personality. Success is hinged on many things and one of those things is the development of self-awareness. To know oneself is key to tackling on intimidating tasks and situations, but to also grow in terms of knowledge and synergy. In my attempt to

    As a college student I am faced with many situations throughout my daily life, while I believed I maintain a certain consistent personality through the process of this paper I was able to identify how my personality differed or stayed the same based on situations I was in. Through the course of this study, I was able to identify when five of what I feel are my most prominent personality traits were most prevalent and how they changed depending on the situation. The five personality traits I chose were humorous, imaginative, sarcastic, optimistic, and helpful. The situations I choose to look at were me in class, at work, with a friend, with family, and when I was alone studying.

    Upon taking the Myers Briggs personality test on the human metrics website I was not surprised that I received the conclusion of an ENTJ or “the natural born leader”. The role of an ENTJ is that you conduct yourself in a manner that is very logical and rational (“Personality”). The Myers Briggs Type Indicator test has been around for over 65 years and has continually evolved to become more accurate in identifying personality traits. I find that the ENTJ type of personality reflections are accurate due to the fact that I am a no nonsense type of leader that likes to take charge and get the job done. In order to become a better leader for your organization you can take the time to educate yourself on the other 15 types of personality traits.

    The impact of the personality profiles we took in class affected our group only a little bit since we didn’t have enough time to explore that idea, but looking back at our group before we took the profile test I can see how our personalities both worked well together and not. Our group’s profiles were that Kerry was high C, Zac was a high I, Clay was a mix of everything, and I was a high S. We did learn later on after our project was done that Janine was a High I; I assumed she could have been high D. Having all different personalities did come in handy in group situations and tasks. An example was that Zac did bring a lot of humor that was need during our group activities or during the planning of our project. Kerry did help us with perfecting our group motto and made the group idea to call ourselves JACKZ.

  • Analysis Of Personality

    1683 Words  | 4 Pages

    When studying human personality, psychologists may consider different levels of analysis. Personality can be viewed as characteristics typical of human nature and that we are “like all others” (Kluckhohn & Murray, 1953), as humans share the same basic biological components, experiences of development and social interactions. Alternatively, personality can be analysed in terms of individual and group differences, where we are “like some other[s]” (Kluckhohn & Murray, 1953). This approach considers that groups of individuals possess common characteristics, but that characteristics vary between individuals. For example, men are generally more aggressive than women, but one man may be more aggressive in comparison to another man. This level of analysis takes a nomothetic view on personality. Some theorists however may be more interested in individual uniqueness and take an idiographic approach to studying personality.

    Our personalities are what distinguish us from each other beyond our appearance; without them, we would all behave and react in the same way. Personality is the reason we are outgoing or introverted, persistent or blaze, and anxious or calm. We each have different levels of these competing characteristics that make us unique. But why are personalities so varied? Personality is determined by an array of factors from genetic and biological to the personal experiences and decisions we have faced from the day we are born. The complexity of our personalities cannot be simply explained, and for this reason there exists many different theories of how it’s developed and personality is still deeply under study.

    Personality takes many shapes and forms and is affected by many factors. My understanding of personality is simply a genetic and environmentally determined set of psychological traits that influence our reactions in the world around us. Genetic because our parents possess a certain set of psychological personality traits that we tend to have in common with them so therefore in my opinion there are heritable personality traits. Personality is environmental because we each have our own separate experiences in the world and these experiences help form our unique personality. Neo-Freudians such as Jung have given us a wide array of ideas of how they believe personality is developed and formatted. Jung in particular has a very interesting
