Assignment #4 - Myers Briggs Personality Type Pros/Cons During the power point on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, as the instructor went through the different types of personalities, I was able to recognize which subcategories I fall into almost instantly. When my computer personality test results were returned, I was correct. As I read the type descriptions of Extroversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging- ENFJ- I quickly recognized myself within the descriptive words. The first subset of my personality is Extraversion, as opposed to Introversion. As an extrovert, I would describe myself as social, external and gregarious. This characteristic helps me communicate and reach out to others. However, there are cons that go along with extroversion. Often, I speak before I think and can cut other people off, or say things without thinking through the consequences. Extroverts can also be easily distracted, something that I am all too familiar with. The next subset of my personality is Intuition. Intuition, and the converse, Sensing, describes the way that I take in information. As someone with a highly developed intuition, I focus of the future and trust my insights. Intuitives are less concerned with current data then with visioning ideas for the future. The negative implications of intuitives is an often sense absent-mindedness by others, as well the possibility of overlooking current issues, as I envision the future. As a Feeler, I am a typical woman. Feelers use human values over logical analysis when making decisions. While thinkers are objective, as a feeler, I would describe myself as compassionate and empathetic. However, feelers often spread themselves too thin and put others before themselves.

I completely agree with my categorization as an ENFJ. All of the characteristics of Extroversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging, as well as their combination, describe me accurately and completely.

From the above test I undertook, it is evident that I incline more to being an extrovert than an introvert. Even though I strongly disagree with the fact that my emotional intelligence is low, as per the results, I think the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test was unbiased and precise. This can be proven from my personality class, which is EFNJ.
Intuitive tend to look at the big picture then look at the facts. They are not hands on they would rather think through a problem and reflect on new possibilities. They look at new ways to do things even though they don’t know how they will initiate the new ideas. I am about one percent more intuitive than sensing so I tend to go between the two personality traits. I do believe I have the gift of interpreting technical information into laymen terms, which is the intuitive personality trait.
After taking the Meyers-Briggs Personality Test, I determined my Jung Typology was ISTJ (introvert sensing thinking judging) by taking the Jung Typology Test (2016). Based on the test, I had a moderate preference for all of these, except sensing, which I only had a slight preference for sensing over intuition. Research was conducted using the website www.personalitypage.com and Type Talk at Work textbook to evaluate the accuracy of the personality type in the test. Based on the research and my personal evaluation, the test accurately captured my personality. From the research I learned specifics about my qualities and preferences which will help me better perform as an employee, co-worker, and manager.
Even so, communication with people of the sensory/thinking (ST) personality types would require my adhering to realities and effects. In like manner, communication with those of intuitive/feeling (NF) personality traits, would necessitate me to direct intercommunication on relevant theories, ideas, or concepts. Fortunately, the intuitive aspects of NTs and NFs along with the thinking features of the NTs and STs provide for mutually effective business or academia intercommunication. Therefore, whether for teamwork projects in business or collaborating assignments in academia, I would deftly work well with these two personality
As we live our lives each day we probably do not contemplate our personality types or how our types intertwine themselves in our mannerisms and actions. I recently took a personality test from the “Jung Typology Test”. The test revealed that I am an extravert, sensing, thinking, and judging which we will refer to as an ESTJ throughout this discussion. The personality test reveals your four types of personality along with your two temperaments associated with your type. As an ESTJ, I fall into the SJ (sensing, judging) temperament. In this discussion, I will attempt to explain what I have learned about myself through the personality test as well as correlate my type with my temperament. With the information revealed in tests, I will reflect
A personality is something unique that everyone has; though a group of people might fit into a single block—everyone experiences and reacts to situations differently. According to Carl Jung and Isabel Myer-Briggs, there are 16 varying types of personality that are centered around eight contradictory preferences of general attitude (introversion vs. extroversion), perception (intuition vs. sensing), judging (thinking vs. feeling), and the way of processing the above information by either being more dominant in judging or perceiving. Though the suggestion of grouping together complex and intricately woven experiences and thoughts—a personality—to create standardization seems radical, Jung was able to provide a framework to classify personality types. Classified as INFP, my scores are as followed: I have a moderate preference of Introversion over extroversion (50%), am slightly iNtuitive (9%), distinctly Feeling (66%), and slightly Perceiving

I have a preference of Extraversion over Introversion (19%) which means I direct my energy to the outside world. This would be correct because I am the type of person that will do anything for anyone else first before myself. I am a paramedic and I love helping people even it takes me away from my family at times, I can’t sit back and not help people in need (Humanmetrics, 2016).
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
My Myers-Briggs profile graded me to be an ENFP (16% extrovert, 25% intuitive, 34% feeling, and 12% perceiving). I am slightly more extroverted than introverted due to the fact I am a very social person and enjoy others company. For example, at work I can start a conversation with anyone and everyone. Talking is a big key to working in customer service at a store known for its highly social workers. I feel that my mood almost always determines how social I am most of the time. I prefer to use my intuition over actually sensing out a situation. I use my intuition over sense most of the time according to my profile. This can be seen in almost any decision making situation I am put into. When I first met my boyfriend everybody told me, “Graceanne you are crazy this guy just plays games!”. All I kept saying was “No, there is something different about this one I know it.”, no matter how many times we fought my intuition always took me back to him for some reason. There was just something about him since the first time we met that told me this is right. We have been together for a year now with
Intuition is another aspect which defines me. The intuitive nature allows me to take decisions based on what I assume or think. This may not be supported by facts, but in most cases such decisions turns out to be the right ones. As a leader, I have been relying too much on intuition alone. Though it is necessary and has proven to be effective at times, this irrational thinking which lacks empirical support may end up causing a failure to a group activity. In some vital groups which I may become a leader, a small failure could cause the team mates, members or subordinates to lose their trust in me.
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.
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.
My confirmed personality type according to the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator is INTJ, which stands for; Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Judging. Introverted people are comfortable being alone
I am an intuitive-feeling personality. I am charismatic, participative and very people oriented. I tend to focus on the big picture and not the small specifics. I am not power hungry and try to be helpful and giving to those around me.
