Personality traits in us and others In the last 5 weeks, we have learned about personalities, learning styles, temperaments, and emotional intelligence. For the learning styles, we took a personality test only to find out what kind of personality trait we have. Temperaments are the way we learn how we want to handle things in life. Emotional intelligence is how we learn to read each other, and learning how and when to say something to diffuse a confrontation. There are four different kinds of temperament’s. There is analyzers, supporters, creators, and directors (Bethel University, 2006). Analyzers like for things to be organized and dedicated to their work. Dedication is a great attribute for an analyzer. Supporters take things …show more content…
Although I would have never considered myself as a “Defender,” there were several points that were true. The results of my strengths and weaknesses show 77% introverted, 97% observant, 80% feeling, 34% judging, and 56 % turbulent. Although I was optimistic about the outcome, I see myself as being supportive, reliable and patient, enthusiastic, loyal and hardworking, having good practical skills, along with imaginative and observant skills. Being raised by two great parents, I wanted to be just like them. Looking them up to them made me who I am today, and with that I am very thankful. As a mother, I wanted to set the example for my children as well. As we all have weaknesses, this opened my eyes to what they are. I can see myself in all the boats, being humble and shy, taking things personally, repressing my feelings, overloading myself, and being reluctant to change. In conclusion, after learning about my personality traits, I need to sit back, think about them, work on them, try to perfect the ones that I can, and improve in several different areas. If I work diligently on these areas, I feel like I would be able to conquer the world. https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test.

Personality is the seen characters of one’s actions, and temperament is the way of thinking, behaving or reacting. How do we show our temperaments in our jobs, school, church, or other places we may go? Are we supporters, analyzers, creators or directors? Sit and think for a second on how we work, and act throughout the day, and how would we perceive ourselves? Do we support, analyze, create or direct? It was very interesting to take the test to see what was revealed. Some would be surprised only to find out what they thought and what the test really shows (Bethel University,
The Keirsey Temperament Sorter II identified my temperament as artisan, and the classic temperament report identified me as an ISTP, or Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving. The description of my temperament was dead on with my view of myself, especially the more in depth classic temperament. My strengths include an excellent ability to apply logic and reason to solve problems or discover how things work, and being high;y practical and realistic, however I will not function well in regimented or structured environments, as I will become bored or feel stifled. This temperament profile also correlates to my learning style, as the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II results also mention that I learn best hands-on, and states that ISTP’s are a master of their physical environment.
As a type A personality, everything seems to come to me with ease; school and sports come naturally because of my constant drive to always be the best. A Type A personality accomplishes their goals and feels little satisfaction from their work, which can be troublesome and never allow a Type A’s to reach their full potential in life. Golf is a time where my Type A personality trait interferes with my performance. Over the weekend, I allowed my personality to interfere with my golf game when I attended the Chappy Wheeler Golf Tournament in Palm Desert. The game of golf has taught me numerous lessons throughout the years, including persistence, patience, respect and focus.
My Myers Briggs type is ISFJ. I am 22% Introvert, 38% Sensing, 62% Feeling, and 11% Judging. People that have this type do best in occupations that have a lot of people interaction. It is also said that ISFJ has great potential in the health field or in social working. Some strength ISFJ’s have can include: easy to work with, good memory, and good with people. Some not so great things about ISFJ’s include; they feel like they have to be needed, they can easily feel unappreciated and can be bad at delegating. “While their work ethic is high on the ISFJ priority list, their families are the centers of their lives.” (Margaret) ISFJ is one of the sixteen personality types identified in the Myers Briggs Typing. About 9% to 14% of the population
A person’s personality has been the subject of psychological scrutiny for many years. Psychologists have drawn up several theories in an attempt to accurately predict and determine one’s personality. Foremost amongst these, is the “Big Five Trait Theory” which stemmed from Raymond B. Cattell’s theory.
Personality trait theory consists of several approaches in measuring traits (Funder, 2013). The options include; the single trait approach, which helps to identify traits by asking; what do people like that do? (Funder, 2013). The many trait approach asks who does that. And the essential trait approach questions which traits are the greatest importance? The typological approach centers on identifying types of people, and that type is categorized by a pattern of traits (Funder, 2013). The single trait approach focuses on three important traits: conscientiousness, Self-Monitoring, and Narcissism. The many trait approach utilizes personality tests to assist in examining many traits at the same time (Funder, 2013).
A quote that I live by is, “People don't always behave the way you want them to, but it doesn't mean the way they behave is wrong.” This says to me that I cannot change anyone because I do not understand or like the way someone does something. Trying to do this is trying to change one’s human personality. Human personality is what makes a person distinctive, unique, and exceptional. Every person has a different personality and some personalities mesh better than others. Human personality should always be praised and no one should ever put anyone down for having a different personality. It is truly just allowing people to be who they are unless they are in violation of other human’s rights.
” Temperament is a configuration of observable personality traits, such as habits of communication, patterns of action, and sets of characteristic attitudes, values, and talents” (Keirsey). Everybody in the world has their own personality traits, after taking the Keirsey temperament I discovered what my personality traits are, and it even broke it down for me. My test results are introverted, sensor, feeler, judgers (ISFJ) each person has their own test results that describe them, but these are made just for me.
Learning personality types could be one of the best tools for self-improvement and relationship enhancement. By identifying the personality type, we may be able to extend our strength sides and enhance our weakness sides. Further more, assuming the personality type of your component in a relationship, could help a lot to tighten the relationship by eliminating the disagreement situations and concentrating more on the common shared behaviors. These seem to be the main objectives that have led several psychological specialist researchers to conduct many observation analytic experiments and studies during most of the 19th century and up to the present times. Other medical specialist researchers tried to use some personality types classifications as health indicators. Applying and assuming the personality type concepts on some close by relatives and friends should not be difficult, but would it be much helpful or acceptable.
I strongly believe that my results of Big Five Personality test are accurate. Pertaining to the five personality traits, the test showed that I posses 53% extrovert personality, 62% conscientiousness, 48% neuroticism, 34% agreeableness, and 15% openness. As the greater percentage is of conscientiousness, it held utterly true as I am an orderly person and is hard-working individual. I merely do not like to seek new experiences which might be the reason I am workaholic. Conclusively, my opinion about the Big Five Personality trait is that they are most important measures through which individual’s personality can be determined.
Our mind works like a computer and our way of thinking acts as its inputs. Our thoughts keep on gathering into it and slowly, they entrench deep down in solid states. We can divide personality in two halves. First is that, which the psychologists term as ‘T- Personality'. This is a toxic personality. Second is that, that the psychologists call N-Personality and this is energetic.

Personality can be described as a person’s psychological characteristics and behaviors, evolving from environmental and biological circumstances (Solomon, 2017). Therefore, people tend to respond differently to situations with work and everyday life. Contributing much research to associate how personalities affect the behaviors of consumers, “The Big Five Project Personality Test” was developed to enhance educational activities (Potter, John, & Soto, 2015). Taking the personality assessment, concerning five segments of personality, I was really surprised at the results, scoring a forty-eight on the subject of open-mindedness. People with high scores tend to demonstrate creativity, where people scoring low have very little desire to explore something new. However, scoring in the middle would suggest that I am very hesitant
I learned that having these personality traits affects my behavior at work and in my relationships. I find that I have strengths and weaknesses with these personality traits. I find it is difficult at times being an introvert. I wish I could have an extrovert personality at times. This could help in my relationships at work.
What are personality characteristics, and why is it important for a manager to be able to identify these intellectual individual styles for them to be valuable in the association of identifying personality traits. So, what is personality trait, it is what makes up a person distinguishing qualities or characteristics that are tangible, or that of a visible form of an idea, quality, or feeling. Therefore, meaning it’s what distinguishes who we are, knowing the difference between more than one persons; and what makes us act the way we do when faced with diverse circumstances. “Individuals are unique in terms of their skills, abilities, personalities, perceptions, attitudes, emotions, and ethics” (Nelson & Quick, 2017, pg. 35). Hereby stating
Personality is defined in terms of the ways how people think, feel, and behave Over time, my life has changed in number of ways. In the same breadth, I have retained a number of life aspects over the years. My association with people, especially at the first sight, has not been easy because of emotions and the feelings I sometimes have. I have also developed in my openness, extraversion and the ability to agree to my personality. In acquisition of work experience, I have become more open to new skills, ideas and knowledge. My interaction with people has also seen me become more extraverted. In helping others during their times of need, I have improved on my level of agreeableness. I have also changed my perception about people and how I look at them in terms of personality, Character and conduct.
