After taking the Jung Typology test I have summarized each of the individual personality types that corresponded to the ISTJ personality type that I was given. The validity of them along with any disagreements of them I have are included. In this paper I have a discussion of how these personality types are used to my advantage at work and how I have learned to work with my weaknesses. I believe that this type of personality test, along with learning how to use the information, is something every transformative leader must have in order to be successful.
Step 1
I-Introverted
The first letter of the Jung Typology Test has me listed as 22% introvert. I believe that most of the people that know me, outside of work, would agree with

The key to any personality is to understand where your weaknesses are and to be willing to work around them. I have learned to understand that I am an introvert, but know that I cannot allow that part to dominate at work without risking the performance of my job. I have also ensured that those close to me, at home and at work, know that I am an introvert, so that when they see me withdrawing they understand why and no one takes it personal. Luckily my job has had all of the leaders in classes so that we have all had our personalities discussed openly among us. This has helped us all take advantage of our individual personalities and helped us learn how to deal with others that are different. All my peers know that I like to think about things before I act and that I have expectations of how we should all be performing at work. Understanding my personality has been a blessing to me. It has allowed me to not withdraw to far, and to jokingly let others know that I will withdraw at times. I now realize that introverts can seem aloof to others and that I have to make an effort at times so that other leaders know that I am willing to help. My wife stated that this did not help, since she already knew this about me. We once had an argument about going on vacation. She stated, “If it was up to you we wouldn’t go anywhere”. I was unsure if the argument was over or who had one, because she was exactly right. I would …show more content…
I am a Director of a Radiology department in a community hospital. Early in my management career I struggled on how to handle issues with other directors. I would see how they dealt with certain issues and wonder if I would handle them the same way, or if my way was wrong. In leaning about personality types I have learned that there are reasons that we all handle issues differently. My organization has committed to putting the leaders into leadership classes over the last several years. At least half of the directors have been in a class where we have gone over our different personalities and our leadership styles. This has helped us understand each other much better. Knowing someone else’s “why” will allow you to come up with a compromise that will help both of you. You realize that the other person is not just out to get ahead at your expense. Specifically, I had a fellow director that would rarely give me any extra help on Wednesdays when my area was usually busy. At first, I thought that she was just being selfish and refusing to help, even though she would come to me at other times for help in her area. After sitting in that leadership class and talking to her I realized that she was just concerned about the productivity of her area on those days. We were able to work out a compromise that helped her area stay efficient and got my area some much needed help. At the end of chapter one “Type Talk” discuss
According to the Jung Typology Test, I identify with two somewhat closely related personalities. On the test is scored Introvert(17%) Sensing(56%) Feeling(12%) Judging(1%), because my scores leaned towards the judging trait by only one percent the website stated that I may identify with the ISFP and ISFJ personality traits. The I at the beginning of both personality traits represents for an introvert, which is a person who retreats mentally. The S and F stand for sensing and feeling, which means that I make real and practical decisions based on how they affect myself and others. The P and the J stand for perceiving and judging since I apparently straddle the fence of these two characteristics, I at times may love rules and structure and at other times feel suffocated by them. I can see myself in the results, but I can't really take the results seriously because I can't help but be skeptical in the back of my mind. What made me believe my results, is the fact that I received two results. Having the test say that I identify with another personality type made me feel that the creator of the test knew what he/she was doing because people are
For this project; I will be discussing the findings of my personality type. According to “Jung’s Personality Test”, I am an ENTJ. Various sources point to this type as;” The Executive.” The research I have done has brought tremendous insight into; who I am as a person, the functions of my thinking process and how to utilize my strengths to be more of an efficient/successful person. I also learned about the various careers the best suit my personality type which; helps me when It comes to job seeking after graduation. It is very important to know yourself and see how you can maximize on your God given potential. For that reason, I am very glad I took the personality test and studied this subject manner. I would advise everybody to do the same,
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,
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.
The general personality traits, which are related to success both in and outside the workplace, are all inherent in my answers given in the Leadership Assessment Quiz. With statements such as, “it is easy for me to compliment others” and “team members listen to me when I speak,” it is apparent I possess these characteristics. Whereas my task- related personality traits associated with successful leadership, such as courage, still need to be developed. Not only do I know this in myself, but it is clearly pointed out throughout the test, with statements such as, “resolving conflict is an activity I enjoy” and “I would enjoy coaching other members of the team”.
The Jung Typology Test is designed to give the participant a 4-letter formula which describes strength preferences of one’s personality type. The formula is based on whether the participant favors Extraversion or Introversion, Sensing or iNtuition, Thinking or Feeling, and Judging or Perceiving when it comes to the participant’s general attitude. One will also receive a Temperament, which is based on one’s personality type formula, and can be used to make somewhat accurate predictions of the participants preferred behavior. In this essay I will discuss the results that I received after taking the test. Having a personality type that prefers extraversion, sensing, feeling, and judging comes with many strengths and weaknesses when working in
The bases of this paper will be based on the results that I had obtained when I took the Myers-Briggs personality test. The results that I had obtained was that I was determined to be an ENFJ. I will go into depth about letter and how each represents that a specific aspect of my personality. The results that I had received were not what I had expected, but the more I read about the trait the more I realized how it suited me. I will also talk about the information that I had found useful from the book, Type Talk at Work: How the 16 Personalities Types Determine Your Success on the Job by Otto Kroeger, which gave me insight on how to interact with other personality types especially in the work environment. The information that I absorbed from the personality test and from the book will go into use in my personal and work life so that both environments will be cohesive and peaceful.

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.
Generally, the expression "introvert" has been considered to a great extent, negative. Introverts are regularly the casualties of crucial mistaken assumptions, notwithstanding, as others confuse them as being shy, overly analytical, and in a few cases, completely deprived of sympathy for others. Not only are these recognitions false, but they also conceal the fact that being an introvert can offer numerous potential points of interest. This is especially valid in the work environment, where many thoughtful character qualities loan themselves to being a more responsive and compelling representative. First and foremost, people usually miss out how instead of using their voice to showcase their skills, introverts often use their ears.

It is remarkable that by answering a few basic questions, a person can learn key characteristics of his or her personality. After taking the personality test, I learned my general personality type is “The Consul” (ESFJ-A). Individual traits of my personality type are more extroverted than introverted, more observant than intuitive, more feeling than thinking, more judging than prospecting, and more assertive than turbulent. My role is Sentinel and my strategy is People Mastery (“Consul Personality,” 2017). The results of the personality test offered insight into my overall personality type and its social and workplace implications.
I have taken my fair share of personality test throughout my collegiate and professional career; all of the results label me as an Introvert. As I child, I grew up in a family of extroverts, naturally I felt nobody understood me; and often my cousins labeled me weird. While all of my friends would attend parties, go to movies, and engage in other activities, I found joy in reading, listening to jazz and spending time alone with my thoughts. I remember my high school basketball coach telling me that I’d be a great leader someday if I learned to be more vocal. At the time I didn’t know what an Introvert, I simply identified as being shy; it wouldn’t be until my sophomore year of college while taking a Public Speaking class that
According to the study of this course, I have learned many useful management skills and I feel like these skills will be applied to my future career development. When working on the self- assessment tests, I found myself fall into the category of the ISTJ personality types, which as illustrated by Myers Briggs, is the type of personality that is conscientious, considerate, and helpful. Personality traits such as honest, dutiful, practical and responsible are my strengths; personality traits such as stubborn, insensitive and poor communication skill are my weaknesses. Related to the knowledge I have learned in the course I believe both strengths and weakness will have influence to my future career development. In this reflection paper, I will demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses that may place the most influence on my way of success.
