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.
Having used myself as a case study and getting my results from the MBTI assessment, I got to deduce that my type or class was ENTJ. After analysis, the test deductions considered me to have a moderate preference of 3 aspects that were extraversion over introversion (44%), intuition over sensing (50%), and thinking over feeling (12%) and finally I slightly preferred judging over perceiving (22%).
With accomplishing a Master’s in Public Health, learning who I am as a person and how I relate with others is the most important key to an overall cog. After taking the Myers Brigg Personality test I discovered that my personality falls in to the Extravert, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging (ENTJ)
My theoretical preference profile as confirmed by the Jung Briggs Meyers Personality Test is an Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging (INTJ) individual. The results indicated percentages of 16%, 19%, 34%, and 62%, respectively.
There are many personality tools available to anyone wishing to increase their knowledge of the subject, but Carl Jung’s theories have been in practice since 1940 (Humanmetrics. 2013). His theories have had many opportunities to be disproved, but instead they have only been elaborated on. The 2013Humanmetrics - Jung Typology Test utilizes not only Jung’s theory, but it incorporates those of the Myers and Briggs team for an improved holistic insight. The personality test and subsequent results consist of 8 possible preferences (6 from Jung and 2 additions from Myers Briggs) traits comprising a total of 16 possible combinations (Humanmetrics. 2013). My personality tests results reveal that I am what is called an Extravert, iNtuitive, Feeling, and Judging
Within the Jung Typology Test (JTT) it states that my type of personality is introverted, sensing, feeling and judging. The results indicated I am an introvert over extrovert, the score showed 56%. There was a marginal or no preference to sensing over intuition at 1% for this result. Moderate preference to feeling over thinking at 25%, and a strong preference to judging over perceiving at 78%. So this is saying that I am an introverted sensing with extroverted feeling.
Personality typing can be very enlightening when it comes to recognizing one’s own growth and self-development. While there are sixteen personality types that are used in the personality assessment, based on the extensive research of Carl Jung, Briggs and Myers, we are given one type based on how we perceive things and make decisions. The Jung Typology Test revealed that I have a personality type that is E (Extraverted), N (intuitive), F (feeling), and J (judging). When looking at the strength of the preferences I have a slight preference of Extraversion over Introversion by 6%. I was able to quickly relate to that piece of information, depending on the setting, surrounding people, and the situation, I tend to go back and forth between being
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 prefer to be more extroverted, so I focus my attention more on the outer world and the people associated with the external environment. I tend to often direct my energy to what 's going on in the outer world rather than what is occurring in my own inner world. When it comes to communication, I lean more towards talking than writing. I feel that I need to experience the world to understand it, so I can then take action. The MBTI scale measured me at a moderate preference of extraversion over introversion which I have to agree with. My levels of introversion or extraversion depend on the situation that I am in at the time. If I am with people that I feel
ESTJ personality type is said to be extraverted thining with introverted sensing. Since T is for thinking is with the “head”, not the “heart”, I'm not usually biased. It bothers me when I see people take side or favoritism in the workplace or any decision making because I believe in treating everyone fairly. I would treat the people fairly, even if do not like them. I can distinguish between personal and professional. I enjoy interpersonal interactions. Sometimes, I can be overly confident, and it can be taken us arrogant, but usually, I’m just being me, and not trying to be mean or anything. In communication, my style is direct and targeted. I do not hesitate to speak without pretense, and
My personality description is INFJ: introvert,intuitive,feeling, and judging. INFJ are people that are caring,and instinctual people, which means that they would think stuff that are not reasonable, but they would relate more on how they feel about any situation. People that have a INFJ personality tend to have everything organise. We also tend to be complex on certain things, but at the same time we are very creative people. There is also only one percent in the world of this type of personality. People with INFJ personality are also very protective of their families. The personality inventory has describe most of me. Some parts I'm not completely convence. For example people that are INFJ are not at complete peace with themselves. I believe

According to Carl Jung’s typology theory each individual develops personal preferences which become the foundation for how they face life’s challenges and interact with others. Based on this knowledge Isabel Briggs Myers developed the Myers-Briggs Type indicator (MBTI). This test helps individuals identify and study their individual preference and those of others. After taking the Jung Typology Test, which is based on the MBTI, it was confirmed that my four dominate personality preferences are Introversion, iNtuition, Thinking and Judging. Each personality preference is discussed in detail including strengths and weaknesses. The combination of the four make me a INTJ of the world. This is also discussed in detail including strengths, weaknesses,
This essay will discuss three important topics that to me have stood out as important concepts that are sensible and comparatively simple to apply in my work as a graduate nurse. They are; the concept of emotional intelligence, the concept of empowerment in nursing and the concept of teamwork in the health care setting. Each topic will be discussed separately, analysed, argued and integrated into the essay as a whole so that the reader may have a greater understanding of how these concepts interact with each other and how each concept may influence the graduate nurse to work at a professional and level how she in turn can utilise these concepts to further enhance her professional development.
Emotional intelligence has been coined by many theorists and had been the subject of much literature, controversy, and scrutiny. Emotional intelligence is defined as “a set of competencies that distinguishes how people manage feelings and interactions with others. It is the ability to identify one’s own emotions, as well as those of one’s co-workers or employees” (Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee, in Pierce & Newstrom (Eds.), 2008, p. 180). The author will review the definition and attributes of a successful, emotionally intelligent, morally competent leader. Comparisons will be made between leaders which demonstrate emotional intelligence to those which are void of moral intelligence. The conclusion is that leaders who act with high moral intelligence produce consistently high performance result.
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.
