My personality ENTJ that's it, but what is that exactly? According to the Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test online I am a slight extravert, intuitive, thinking and judging person. Some might even say I am arrogant and straightforward which and I tend to be “on-duty” all the time which are also traits that were affirmed. I feel sure they did not score my answers correctly as I consider myself more an introvert. Before I began taking the online test I thought I was an open-minded and optimistic person with tendencies to be more creative versus organized with a high preference for introversion, but, after careful reading I was an introvert but have now pushed myself to become a slight extrovert with the test results leaving me feeling empowered that the traits I actually strive for are becoming my beliefs. According to the online Webster dictionary personality is as defined as “that which constitutes distinction of person; the externally evident aspects of the character or behavior of a person; individuality”. (Webster, 2013) Personality types and traits have been a topic of debate for many years and continue to be defined by theorists, psychologists, physicians, priests, pastors and pretty much anyone with an opinion. “The theory of psychological type was introduced in the 1920s by Carl G. Jung while The Myers Briggs Type Indicator tool was not developed until the 1940s by Isabel Briggs Myers and continues today. (Myers Briggs, 2003) Many personality tests are available but the MBTI has been adopted as the industry standard.

Twenge, J. M., & Campbell, K. W. (2016). Personality Psychology: Understanding Yourself and Others. Boston:
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.
As is already mentioned above, it is very difficult to define Personality in the real sense. Even if we try to do so, we won’t be able to reach a specific conclusion about the things that are to be taken into consideration for defining it. However, we can vaguely define Personality as a particular quality or trait that makes an individual
My conformed profile is Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeling and Perceiving (INFP). It is not easy to describe myself as I cannot see my person from outside but better still I am the one that knows me very well than anyone else. Based on my conformed type I am going to describe myself as detailed as I can. As I said earlier I have preference for intraverting, intuition, feeling and perceiving. Mostly people with such personality are referred to as “Mediators” and/or “Idealists”. This is true because I am the type that looks for the good in anything or any person no matter how bad it is. Other researchers also refer to the INFPs as “Dreamers” because of their wonder nature; they never stopped being fascinated. Having preference for INFP means that in business, and in school I am calm, reserved and because of that my colleagues
The results of my personality test were the introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging types, or INFJ. My score for introversion
The five-factor model includes five broad domains or dimensions of personality that are used to describe human personality. The five factors are openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. While these five traits should be sufficient on their own to describe all facets of a personality, there also should be no correlation between the main factors. The Five Factor Model is now perhaps the most widely use trait theory of personality and has achieved the closest thing to a consensus in personality research. The advantage of this theory is that there have been multiple research studies conducted on this theory. Results suggest that this theory is effective in describing and determining personality. However, this theory is very categorical and does not allow for much flexibility. It also looks at the person personality at that time and now how it developed.
There are many types of diverse people classified under various categories. Some people have different types of personalities. They could be classified as extremely manipulative, others as impulsive, and some may not show anything on the outside and have wonderful social skills. These categories help in the understanding of humans. This study is called Psychology and there are many different subfields in this diverse study of the people around us. One subfield that is particularly interesting is personality psychology. Personality psychology is a branch of psychology that studies personality and its variation between individuals.
The first personality test was the basic personality test. The assessment from the basic personality type indicated that my personality classification is an ESTJ (Llorens, 2010). The results found that I am more extroverted than introverted; I tend to be more sensing than intuitive, more of a thinker versus a feeling individual, and I am judging versus perceiving. The interpretation indicated that I am realistic, logical, analytical, decisive, organized, and I like to run things. The results were interesting, the analysis and interpretation was extremely accurate to my tendencies and my current role in my organization. The result provided me with insight to my tendencies and approaches to situations that I face each day as a leader in a multi-faceted organization (Llorens, 2010). Additionally the results indicated that my personality type matches my career aspirations as an Executive Program Manager in a corporate setting. Understanding and accepting my tendencies as an ESTJ personality type helps me be more introspective and insightful of my approaches and how I treat people and convey expectations will make me a more aware of weaknesses and strengths and use the knowledge to improve how I engage with others.
The Five-Factor Model of Personality is a system used in order to describe an individual’s personality traits. By requiring said individual to answer a series of questions, this test is able to decipher the traits that are most likely evident within their life. The Five-Factor Model of Personality test gives the test subject a series of situational options. Using the subject’s responses, psychologist match the answers to the personality in which best relates. A highly accurate description of ones’ personality can be easily configured by using the Five-Factor Model of Personality by testing either high or low in the following areas; openness to experience, extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism.
There are six types of theory for personality. The first one is trait theory and this is by Eysenck, 1947. Eysenck believed that personality is genetically based so people were born with their own personality and it doesn’t change. He says that personality is shaped by a part of the mid brain called the reticular activating system. He says that our personality is shaped by the activity and arousal of parts of our nervous system network so we can’t help being shy or disagreeable. Trait means you have a relatively stable and enduring tendency to behave in a particular way. Eysenck theory is based on
Personality Tests were originally devised as an aid to mental health and treatment. Even today, the Projective Techniques are considered inevitable by psychologists and therapists when it comes to analysing
In our heads, we all have a perception of our own personality, so when faced with the reality of it, it can be hard to accept. Some people have a better recognition of their personality traits, I like to think I’m one of those people. Before taking the personalities tests, I assessed a few key characteristics about myself: hardworking, stubborn, bright, lazy, extroverted, slow to trust. For the most part, the tests supported those characteristics. However, I was presented with attributes I never would’ve given to myself, but I’m nothing if not willing to learn more about myself.
Our personalities are what distinguish us from each other beyond our appearance; without them, we would all behave and react in the same way. Personality is the reason we are outgoing or introverted, persistent or blaze, and anxious or calm. We each have different levels of these competing characteristics that make us unique. But why are personalities so varied? Personality is determined by an array of factors from genetic and biological to the personal experiences and decisions we have faced from the day we are born. The complexity of our personalities cannot be simply explained, and for this reason there exists many different theories of how it’s developed and personality is still deeply under study. I went into this subject with an open-mind
