Recommended: Communication and its effect

For this course, I am having a difficult time creating an artifact and reflection, since we have touched on several important topics during these past few weeks. With that be said, I feel that this course provided the most opportunities to assess our individual personalities than compared to other courses. The topics that were covered in the modules have allowed me to gain a positive perspective on how individuals contribute to organizational culture and behavior.

The first part of my Artifact is the MBTI assessment developed by Carl Jung. According to this assessment my personality rates as an INTJ (Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test, 2014). I included this assessment in my artifact because it is a snapshot of what I am experience at work right now. I get passed up for different opportunities and promotions within my office because I fail at marketing my abilities to my colleagues. On top of this, I have not been getting along with my supervisor. I have come to the conclusion that my supervisor and I have two different perspectives on situations and there is not much of a common ground for the two of to build upon (Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test, 2014).

As an INTJ I have high standards and to a lesser extent I impose those high standards on other people, like my supervisor. According to my assessment, others might view me as aloof and reserved, which makes it hard to understand my insights. At the same time, I blame the misunderstanding on the other person, instead of evaluating my own communications. This might have something to do with the constant differences between me and my supervisor (Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test, 2014).

  • The Myers-Briggs Personality Test: Personal Analysis

    1246 Words  | 3 Pages

    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

  • Understanding My ISTJ Personality: An Analysis

    ISTJ type is considered to be an inspector. ISTJ know right from wrong and like to live their lives seeking the right choice. Although, I agree with the assessment of the test and the descriptions explain my actions and motives exactly, at times I desire to be the total opposite. There have been numerous times that I wished I was an extravert and that I could start and hold a conversation about anything. The Meyers-Briggs test, stated that I am 53% introvert. I also desire to be more like an intuition or “N”. I often view my work on a small scale and enjoy working through steps and methods to achieve my goals. An “N” can visualize the big picture. I have had two different supervisors mention to me that I need to work on seeing the big picture for our

  • The Myers-Briggs Indicator Type Test: Different Types

    1223 Words  | 3 Pages

    By being an INTP, I have interpreted why some things work in my favor. Being a perceiver allows me to embrace change while keeping any ill-thoughts (regarding changes I do not agree with) to myself. This personality blend, also, allows me to participate in group settings when brainstorming is needed, and having a lower preference in introversion grants me just enough patience to play along with the extroverts to complete the task. When putting two letters together, I have better understood my temperament. “Temperament arises from the regulation of arousal and emotion reliably producing characteristic, habitual responses to experience”, and mine is Intuitive Thinking (NT), so I create many options in my head (Blandin, K., February 2013, para. 4). On the other hand, my personality leads me to situations where I make irrational decisions because I’m not granted enough time to think everything through. As viewed in the presentation, “Lesson 1-Worldview perspective on organizational behavior”, understanding my personality typology, others’ typology, and organizational behavior will allow the workplace to be more efficient because we have a better understanding of ourselves and how we can work together. I’m now able to function in the team because I understand what I offer, how it is useful, and my obligation to the group (Fischer, K. slide

    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. Strengths and weaknesses abound in any of the sixteen personalities designated by the Jung/Myers-Briggs Personality Test. My self-confidence and perfectionist attitude can be attributed to my identified type. As Marina Heiss explains, a degree of mental independence from authority, convention, and sentiment can also be reached (2015). Throughout this assignment I have grasped a few of the reasons on why I have tendency/preference to

  • Analysis Of Myers-Briggs Personality Test

    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.

  • Leadership and Organizational Culture

    1813 Words  | 4 Pages

    House et al. (2007) discovers that leadership and Organisational culture are closely linked together as leaders influence the culture of their organisations. Researches talk about a range of leadership definitions but it is not easy to define. (E.g. Western, 2008; Yukl, 2010). However, Cohen (2009) critically analyses definitions from Dracker (1996), Eisenhower (1969), Northouse (2004) and finally summarised the definition of leadership constitutes five elements. First of all, ask question to set direction, which means effective leaders need to listen to followers’ voice respectfully and then share the common goals and ideas with them. In addition, leaders need to seek insights and allocate resources optimally; act ethically; allow their employees to work in a conformable and most effective way. This essay will explain different leadership styles and how they influence the organisations with examples of organisations and leaders with main focus on well-known entrepreneur: Sir Alan Sugar. He grows from nothing to incredible success (£ 730 million), is a legend in the UK business history; his reality TV show “The Apprentice”, a great entertainment for recruitment appeals to the public without reasons. However, he as a person is controversial amongst people, probably due to his leadership style as bullying or harassment (destructive). There are four schools of leadership styles: Trait, behavioural, contingency and transformational. Nevertheless, in the case of Alan Sugar, trait and transactional styles match him which will be illustrated following in detail.

    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.

  • Dichotomy: The Myers-Briggs Personality Test

    I ended up receiving INFJ (the rarest personality type [1% of the human population!]!), so I was pretty stoked about that. Specifically I was 79% introverted, 88% intuitive, 75% feeling, and 71% judging. Not to mention, I was up there with the greats: MLK, Nelson Mandela, Morgan Freeman, Goethe, and last but *certainly* not least, Jon Snow, so I feel that I definitely deserve INFJ bragging rights. I was not too surprised with most of my results. According to my chart, I was soft-spoken yet with strong opinions, insightful, sensitive, and highly imaginative. I prefer working inside my head or a few people rather than in large groups of people, (which is another reason why office hours scare me). I match my idealist goals with my determination and passion into creating change in my community, and I look to make meaningful and long-lasting connections with a select few who share my values, interests, and dreams. (Many apologies if it sounds like I’m “gassing myself up” right now. I’m really not trying to inflate my

    In this ethnography, I have attempted to describe the culture of the organization, where I worked as a software basic coder after finishing my understudies. I worked in Stellar Solutions in Sydney. Throughout my tenure in this organization, I have comprehended the strategic intent and complexity of the organization. I have observed the communication process happening within the organization, work practices and how well they are aligning with the goals of the organization. I have noticed the team dynamics within the organization and the relationship between the supervisors and the subordinates. This descriptive ethnography means to think about these diverse variables that add to the organization’s functioning process. Through my own observations, I can learn how organization culture is formed, what are the key factors and its influence on the behaviour of the employees.
