MY EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Write down your confirmed preference profile first. Explain what it means in a business or academic milieu

My conformed profile is ENFJ. This means that I am Extraverted, Intuitive, feeling and judging kind of person. After taking the Jungian test, I learned that my MBTI preference profile indicates that I do have a slight preference of extraversion over Introversion (9%), Slight preference of intuition over sensing (19%), slight preference of feeling over thinking (22%), and slight preference of judging over perceiving (22%). It means that I am among the benevolent “pedagogues” of humanity. I have tremendous charisma and power to manipulate others with my phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. I do believe in my dreams, and I see myself as a helper and enabler, qualities that I find to be so true about myself.

As an ENFJ, I am global learner, and that is one of the reasons why I had to choose to study at UoPeople rather than at a local university in Kenya. I see the big picture, and my focus is expansive. Like my peers, I do have entrepreneurial abilities and my conclusions about people are drawn much more quickly. I know and appreciate other people without any compromise. In most cases, I even neglect myself and my own needs for the needs of others. I do have thinner psychological boundaries than most people, and I am always at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. It is indeed true that sometimes I do take on more of the burdens of other than I can bear.

As an ENFJ, I always find myself in occupations that require good interpersonal skills, in order to establish productive collaboration and maintain effective work process. I consider myself...

...d MBTI, one of the strategies that I will employ while dealing with difficult situations and individuals who have different preferences is not relying on my emotions or feelings while making decisions. If I am caught up in a situation where my emotions are high, I would prefer to cool down first before making any decision about the situation. When handling difficult situations, I prefer remaining rational all the way and dealing with the issue focused on finding a lasting solution to it. When I deal with difficult people, I prefer being empathetic when judging their actions and the implication of their actions. When I discover that the person I am dealing with has a low level of understanding, I prefer involving a third party, explaining things in simple terms that they can understand or even remaining silent for sometime before engaging in a conversation with them.

    Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself or of groups. Researchers such as Peter Salvoey and John D. Mayer define it as “the subset of intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions” (Feeley& Driscoll CPA, 2014). In this paper, I will identify the role emotional intelligence plays in the critical thinking skills used by the forensic accountant during various stages of the investigative services of the engagement.

  • Unraveling the Origins of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    When I took the MBTI, some of the things I knew about myself were reinforced, and I also learned some new things about myself and my personality. The four letter code that I received was ISTJ, representing introversion, sensing, thinking, and judging. I expected each of these preferences, and when I read the definition of each, it further strengthened my understanding of what my personality really means in “technical terms.” My four letter code came with titles such as the Duty Fulfiller, the Responsible Realist and the Inspector, names I also agree that pertain to myself. Some of the attributes of an ISTJ personality type include serious and quiet, dependable, well-organized, hard-working, goal-striving, determined, logic-based, orderly, and traditional. If I were asked to describe myself, I would more than likely use nearly all of these terms to do so, which goes to show how accurate this test was, for me at least. But, I also can pick out some challenges that may arise because of the personality type that I am. One example relates to being an introvert, who prefer to focus on one thing at a time.

    The Myers-Briggs Type indicator is an instrument designed to measure the elements of Jungian personality theory and makes the theory of psychological type both understandable and highly practical by helping individuals identify their preferences in four areas. According to the MBTI, I have a moderate preference for Introversion, a clear preference for Sensing, a slight preference for Feeling, and a clear preference for Judging (ISFJ). In general, ISFJs are sympathetic, loyal, considerate, conscientious, and will go through any amount of trouble to help those in need (Hirsh&Kummerow,1989).

    The Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test certainly brought to light many unseen aspects towards my personal character traits and leadership style at work and at home (2015). Whether I am interacting with members from my personal or professional life, my INTJ personality type dominates my perception for good or ill.

Knowing your personality type can help you explore suitable occupations and careers (“Jung Typology Test”, 2017).

    Since the beginning of my academic endeavors, I have long cherished a dream to be a member of the social science research community, which gives our society progressive insights into human ecology. I began my undergraduate studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey with a passion for ecological justice and with the intention of majoring in environmental studies. Ramapo College’s progressive liberal arts foundation provided me with ample room to explore the multifarious array of social science courses. As I took more social science courses, however, my understanding of human social groups underwent a metamorphosis. As a result, I decided to pursue a degree in Social Science, with minors in the two fields I felt most passionately interested in, Women’s Studies and African American Studies.

    Before taking the Myers-Briggs Interactive Test, I didn’t really know what to expect or what kind of questions I would be answering in order to determine what my personality type would be. Afterwards however, I wasn’t too surprised with my results of the test. Out of the sixteen different personality types, I got the INFJ personality type which simply means dominant introverted intuition. All of those letters were pretty self-explanatory and accurate according to how my temperament and personality are. The statistical conclusion was 67% introvert (I), 38% intuitive (N), 50% feeling (F), and 56% judging (J). Therefore I had a distinctive preference of introversion over extraversion, a moderate preference of intuition over sensing, a moderate preference of feeling over thinking, and a moderate preference of judging over perceiving.

    An increasing percent of the population begins to know the idea of emotional intelligence. This concept was firstly developed by two American university professors, John Mayer and Peter Salovey (1990) and they concluded that, people with high emotional quotient are supposed to learn more quickly due to their abilities. Another psycologist named Daniel Goleman (1995) extended the theory and also made it well-known. In his articles and books, he argued that people with high emotional quotient do better than those with low emotional quotient. In this essay, it will be argued that high emotional intelligence can influence work performance positively to a relatively high extent. Both benefits and limitations of a high level of EI in the workplace will be discussed and a conclusion will be drawn at the end of this essay.
