After taking the Myers-Briggs personality test; Cole got ESTJ, and I got ENFJ. According to the notes, since we both got Extrovert it would mean that we are not compatible in that section. However, our matching 6:4 score can tell otherwise. Unlike how I see him, he feels weary when he is forced to be social and is actually very focused. With the presence of his friends, his energetic side comes out and he starts talking a lot. I’ve known him for years and he can definitely talk so much to the point that he would interrupt other people in the room. Alike to Cole, I also feel obligated to be social sometimes. At the same time, I seek company from not just my friends, but other people in the room. I tend to be the first one to initiate a conversation …show more content…
and become friends with somebody; of course he doesn’t have to feel uncomfortable with talking to me if he’s my friend. The thing about me is that I get distracted a lot and can’t really focus on one thing. From the days we’ve worked together, he is definitely more focused and efficient than I am in doing things. From the outcomes, I think being near the edge of Extrovert and Introvert borderline balance us out on our opposite ways (Myers-Briggs). As stated in the notes, Sensor and Intuitive are parallel needs and need to be the same in order for a relationship to be compatible. Cole and I are definitely not compatible there because he got 15: 5 in Sensor while I got 11:9 for Intuitive. He enjoys focusing on here and now and is more linear than random. I, on the other hand, am the complete opposite. I always think of the future and am beyond the most random person on this earth. We could be working on a formal essay in AP Lit and I would randomly go “I want to eat a potato right now” or “Imagine Tyler Williams pregnant”. There was once when I forgot the answers during an Anatomy practical so I basically got up to sing and danced my way to remember the bones in the human body. True stories. While Cole favors facts, I prefer possibilities. I also daydream a lot about my future. I don’t think any Sensor can keep up with my oddness without getting tangled up and stressed out at least once a day on what to do with me (Myers-Briggs). Referring to the notes, Thinker and Feeler are complementary needs and need to be different to be compatible.
Cole is a thinker (17:3) while I’m a Feeler (16:4), complete opposites. When making decisions, he weighs the pros and cons and how it can affect him negatively and positively. I had Social Studies with him in middle school and he was really thick-skinned and confidently led every single class debates (Male/Female Brain). I would say he still likes debating now. Contradicting him, I try to avoid conflicts such as debating and anything that can hurt other people’s feelings. Also, contrasting his thick-skinned character, I am sensitive and can get affected emotionally easily (Male/Female Brain). Cole has some “cool” behaviors due to his Thinker traits that can make him hurt people easily without knowing. Contrarily, even though my logic is short, I have enough “caring” in me to save a whole country if I could. We balance each other by me making Cole consider more, and Cole making me be more rational. Basically, if I have too many feelings and no thinker traits, I might be persuaded into letting out a person that did something severely wrong in the world. At the same time, if Cole continues acting the way he does and not respecting others, he might get something dangerously done on him. Or perhaps I’m imagining too much with my Intuitive traits… Lets hope nothing dangerous happen to either of us in the future
(Myers-Briggs).
From the above test I undertook, it is evident that I incline more to being an extrovert than an introvert. Even though I strongly disagree with the fact that my emotional intelligence is low, as per the results, I think the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test was unbiased and precise. This can be proven from my personality class, which is EFNJ.
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
My Myers-Briggs profile graded me to be an ENFP (16% extrovert, 25% intuitive, 34% feeling, and 12% perceiving). I am slightly more extroverted than introverted due to the fact I am a very social person and enjoy others company. For example, at work I can start a conversation with anyone and everyone. Talking is a big key to working in customer service at a store known for its highly social workers. I feel that my mood almost always determines how social I am most of the time. I prefer to use my intuition over actually sensing out a situation. I use my intuition over sense most of the time according to my profile. This can be seen in almost any decision making situation I am put into. When I first met my boyfriend everybody told me, “Graceanne you are crazy this guy just plays games!”. All I kept saying was “No, there is something different about this one I know it.”, no matter how many times we fought my intuition always took me back to him for some reason. There was just something about him since the first time we met that told me this is right. We have been together for a year now with
After taking the MBTI Assessment I do not agree with the results. My results showed that I had marginal or no preference of extraversion over introversion. Also, that I have moderate preference of intuition over sensing, moderate preference of feeling over thinking. And moderate preference of judging over perceiving. I did not understand the results regarding extraversion and introversion.
A negative quality in this could be my tendency to detach myself from the decisions, this is not good as it is desirable to nurture a child’s heart just as much to achieve good behavior. I must be aware of their emotional needs and not so quick to dismiss them. This has to be a conscious effort on my behalf and to my shame is not as natural for me as I would like. Christ calls for us to be tenderhearted, thus Christ is compelling us to strive for balance. Amen, good application of your Biblical reference
The Big Five Personality Test provided an interesting account of my personality. Although the majority of the results were accurate, I was surprised by two of the outcomes. According to this test, I am a closed-minded, unmethodical, social butterfly that is well-mannered towards others and composed under pressure (John, 2009). First, the results were completely accurate as I am extremely extroverted. I never meet a stranger, and I carry on conversations with anyone. From the custodian, to the cashier, to a random person on the street, it gives me a great sense of fulfillment to engage in dialogue with others from all walks of life. Second, I agree that I am polite and supportive, especially with family and friends. Overall, I try to always
The ability to be self-aware, identify specific personality traits, and assess personal strengths and weaknesses are powerful tools for lifelong personal and professional success. One of the most popular and trusted personality assessment tools utilized today is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (CPP, 2016). According to Meyers-Briggs Personality test my personality type is ESFJ also known as “The Caregiver.” An ESFJ is one of 13 personality types identified through the Myers-Briggs assessment tool (HumanmetricsInc, 2016). This assignment will identify the different aspects of my personality and how they work together. It will also evaluate strengths, weaknesses and organizational behaviors in an effort to maximize professional performance.
The Myers and Briggs Analysis is a series of questions that when answered are examined and grouped together in order to determine the personalities of those taking this test. This particular test can result in sixteen different outcomes or types of personalities, which is determined by four different categories that judge if you are introverted or extroverted, use your senses or your intuition, your choice to think or use your feelings, and finally if you are judgmental or perceptive. These series of questions are designed to judge our personalities and help us to determine which career pathways we will be most suited for based on our personality traits and abilities to work well with others, which is important for our future decisions.
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.
I am an INFJ. I have introverted intuition with extraverted feeling. I have a quiet exterior yet am a protector of those around me. I am deeply concerned with my relationships on an individual level. I greatly value knowing people on a one to one basis. I carry this passion into my close relationships. One relationship of significance is with my boyfriend, Adam. I, as an INFJ, prefer to have everything orderly and systematic whereas he is more relaxed and easygoing. I know that I irritate him when I constantly define and re-define the priorities in my life. I, similarly to many other INFJs, have an uncanny insight into people and situations. I receive "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. At times, this can be a little frightening for others. Adam tends to be much more vocal about his feelings and thoughts whereas I am protective of my inner self and share only what I deem appropriate. He does not like that I hold back part of myself and can be secretive. In part, I understand that in a relationship there needs to be open communication and willingness to share. We...
Throughout the beginning of this semester I have looked at how individuals behave within business organizations. Through various exercises and results, I have found a number of patterns within my behavior and interests. I have become aware what interests me, and a number of skills/abilities I was oblivious I had. This reflection and in class exercises has allowed me to expand my skills, abilities, and behaviors, well fitting them into prospective future employment.
My score on extraversion was 22, low again compared to the norm. For this trait, I agreed with my results at first, but after some thinking I realized although I am introverted, I do behave extravertly sometimes. In general, I prefer working alone, staying indoors, and I don’t like being around a lot of people. For example, when given a group project, I’d prefer working on my own. Yet most of the time, I end up being the group leader because I get along well with people and am usually optimistic. Basically, I prefer settings with less people, but I can mingle well with strangers at parties or functions. Most of my friends and myself included, would say I am extraverted because I make friends easily and am usually very happy and cheerful. But that is only partially true because I do behave differently depending on the situation and my role as a friend, student, employee, etc. Therefore, I don’t agree with my results overall. Considering I show both introversion and extroversion, I think my results should have been within average compared to the
I found the results of my self-assessments to be a very insightful and accurate description of myself. The results of the learning styles test and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II are very valuable for examining my personality traits and learning style and making improvements as needed.
He says, “"extroversion," in contrast to more introverted people.” Extroversion describes people that are outgoing and love meeting and befriending people. Brian tells the audience in his TED talk that there are the three natures of people and extroverts help us understand them, “ First, our biogenic nature -- our neurophysiology. Second, our sociogenic or second nature, which has to do with the cultural and social aspects of our lives. And third, what makes you individually you -- idiosyncratic -- what I call your "idiogenic" nature.” Brian describes how he finds it intriguing how extroverts need stimulation all the time. Brian had mentioned introverts who are people who prefer their own company and are very shy. He explains which category he fits into, “I am an introvert, but I have a core project, which is to profess. I am a professor. And I adore my students, and I adore my field. And I cannot wait to tell them about what 's new, what 's exciting, what I cannot wait to tell them about. And so I act in an extroverted way, because at eight in the morning, the students need a little bit of humor, a little bit of engagement to keep them going in arduous days of study.” Brian brings about the idea that people can switch their personalities temporarily because of certain
Everyone has a different personality. Some feel more extroverted than introverted and vice versa. People don’t necessarily always do things to get under everyone’s skin on purpose. A lot of the times, it’s just the way they are; their personality profile and temperament are being reflected. My test results reveal that I am an ESTJ.
