Ambiguity: A Brief Note On Personality Insights

Step 1

What About Me? Personality Insights On the Core Five sections of the test I scored highest in the amicable dimension. I was surprised by this because the results stated “Model Citizen of an organization.” I would not characterize myself as a bad person, but certainly not a model citizen. I do work well with others when I must, but I often neglect opportunities to be social. This is confirmed by Jungian test as I am an INFJ, with an emphasis on the Introversion. I am not a Type A personality. There is nothing about me the even suggests I might become a Type A someday. I do not get in a rush when I am working unless the job necessitates it.
