The main idea is from 16 types of personality, only one that each person can be matched. Figure 1 MBTI personality types Source: http://pensivepilcrow.com/tag/mbti/ It is often asserted that the MBTI test has tended to mistakenly assumes personality.

Based on my experience, I would love to give everyone change to express their point of view before forming my opinion, since I need think before I speak. Also, it is often for me to imagine the way in certain circumstances and contemplating the consequences of an unexpected situation. Furthermore, I am focus in my goal achievement and not easily distracted. This is because, as a leader I need to keep my team on task in whatever the project. In addition, as an intuitive thinking leader, I can easily become bored with repetition and a highly constrained routine. This situation makes me prefer to solve problems with an experiment in new ways and possibilities. I also have a blind spot, since I might overemphasize on achievement, causing an organization cold and blindly ambitious. Finally, I choose judging style as I like to have a structured list of things to do and want to lead scheduled and planned
Self-report has always been one the easiest ways to gain insight of a person’s personality. These test can range from quizzes filled out online that tell you which pop star is your personality twin to standardized tests requiring a certified test user. Some of the most popular and highly researched tests have been the MMPI and its successors. The MMPI, created by Stark R. Hathaway and John Charneley McKinley, was the first step towards the MMPI-2-RF. The MMPI was firstly created to test individuals who were 14 years old and older. Throughout the years, the MMPI has through a lot of changes, evolving into three tests used today: MMPI-2, MMPI-A, and MMPI-2-RF (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2013).
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
Personality affects how and why employees act the way they do, with this information it is important to know an employee’s personality traits and what these traits can indicate. Both the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) and the Big Five model for personality assessment are popular based on the relative ease of use and time required to perform. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was first published in 1962 (MBTI Basics, n.d.). Since the first use of this indicator employers have utilized the information obtained to determine a personality type. This personality type can help explain and predict how a person responds to interactions and circumstances with others (Robbins & Coulter, 2009).
The Myers and Briggs personality test is unlike many of the personality tests you will find randomly online because it was designed to examine the ways in which you focus on the world and make everyday decisions. After taking this test myself I have found out a few things about myself that I did not really notice before. According to the Myers-Briggs test my personality type is INFP, which stands for Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Perceiving. At the start of this test I had no idea that I was considered an introvert because as far as I can remember I have always loved being around people and never really thought about things before acting, which is the exact personality of an extrovert. The end of this personality test has a section that describes the different traits of those under that category and as for what it says about me I do feel that it matches some of my traits to a tee, but at the same time I feel like there are a few traits that are a bit off. Perso...
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.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a 30 minute assessment that describes the personality of a individual based across four areas: Extraversion-Introversion, Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling, and Judging-Perceiving.

The following information can be found in the “Results and discussion” section: “The analyses reported above show that MBTI items fail to form the factors hypothesized by the test’s authors” (Saggino, Cooper, & Kline, 2001). The information I found in this study complimented the conclusion of the other article I reviewed. They both concluded that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator had many faults and was not reliable nor valid as far as solid science is concerned.

In this case review and upon my own personality review, the framework of my meaning as outlined in the Myers-Briggs personality type description can lead me to truly understand each one of my own personal attributes and can lead others in this course in truly understanding the reasons we are who we are and convictions for loving, fighting, arguing, and even the passionate behaviors and other personal responses we show to ourselves and especially others.

The Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI) is a type of personality test to determine a person’s personality type and thus their learning style. The MBTI is based on the work of the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung and the American mother and daughter team of researchers; Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers (Opt, 2000). Jung was able to group peoples personalities into three basic classifications: extroversion vs. introversion, sensing vs. intuition, and thinking vs. feeling (literacynet.org, October 22, 2001). Jung published his findings in a book call Psychological Types, first seen in English in 1923 (Opt, 2000). Myers and Briggs studied and built onto his finding twenty years later, adding the fourth classification of judging vs. perceiving, and, in 1962, the MBTI was established (literacynet.org, October 22, 2001).

I have taken Myers-Briggs test several times in South Korea. This is because I wanted to know who I am and overcome myself. My childhood was very reserved from my father’s alcoholism, which made me shrunk with fear for my father. From this, my personality that had been formed was passive to have a relationship with other classmates. In addition, I had suffered a stage fright for a long time until graduating the graduate school in South Korea. It was not easy to overcome my introverted personality. However, when I chose the path of a pastor, I decide to change my personality. When I started to serve a youth ministry in a church, I had to lead over 200 people as leader, and my very introvert nature had made difficult for me to have good relationships with the congregation. Hence, I have invested a lot of time looking back at myself to overcome them. Therefore, I took Myers-Briggs test to know who I am first. While I took the instrument several
The Myers-Briggs personality test is designed to help people understand their strengths and weaknesses. It allows people to become more aware of certain traits that may clash with other personalities and therefore helps people understand and value others who think or act differently. Myers-Briggs identifies sixteen distinctive personality types.

Responses to the questions determine the personality type of the test-taker.
Some people are blind to different (mostly negative) behaviors and actions that occurs within oneself. My own MMPI scores that were conducted on the free test showed characteristics that became shocking, while other traits seemed understandable.

The MBTI assessment consist of a self-report questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions (Cohen, Ornoy, Keren, 2013). The results from the MBI test could help Jane make better decisions as she reacts to stress (withdrawing and isolating herself from the
