My Keirsey Temperament Sorter results indicate my personality type is that of a Guardian and make-up about 40 – 50 percent of the population. Guardians use their skills to keep everything running smoothly, have a lot of fun with family and friends, but serious when it comes to responsibilities. Characteristics include dependable, humble, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, hardworking, and stabilizing leaders. I’m the type of person that follows schedules and deadlines, but also likes to have fun and enjoy life. There should be a balance, and like the saying goes, work hard and play hard.
My periodic table on horse breeds. I choose this because I love horses. I love riding them, caring for them, and just being around them in general. I organized the horse breeds into four groups - ponies, light horses (usually riding horses), and draft horses (usually working horses), and other horses (miniature horses, gaited horses, etc.).

The band consists of Chino Moreno (vocals), Stephen Carpenter (guitar), Chi Cheng (bass) and Abe Cunningham (drums). The Deftones have built a reputation on their unique sound, which combines elements of punk, hardcore, hip hop, and heavy metal.
Overall, the INTJ type is an accurate description of my personality. I concur with the assessments that INTJ’s do not “take criticism personally” and they are not “afraid of hard work, and will put forth a great deal of effort towards something that they are interested in” (INTJ Personal Growth, 2014). I am confident in my own abilities and take no offense at work if others are able to show me a better/easier way of performing a task (as long I am approached professionally). Additionally, I am usually whole-heartedly committed toward efforts when I see the importance or benefit from such actions. For example, if I need to put in a few 15-16 hours days to ensure the job is done on-time and correctly I will do so without much thought. My temperament of “NT” also known as the “Rationals” is consistent with what I see in myself (The Four Temperaments, 2014). As stated in the Thinking section however, I do have a tendency to show empathy towards others when faced with an emotional

It will also evaluate strengths, weaknesses and organizational behaviors in an effort to maximize professional performance.
The Keirsey Temperament Sorter was created by Dr. David Keirsey, a clinical psychologist. It is a 70 item, questionnaire that is geared towards a person’s preferences and temperaments in the world we know. It figures out, based on your responses, if you are an extroversion or an introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. According to the test, I am an idealist, INFP, an introversion, intuitor, feeling, and perceiving, my motto being “making life kinder and gentler” (Wall, 2008).
Based on what I have observed I would conclude that vision and touch are the two sensory systems most important for the animal to function successfully in its environment. I believe this based on the surrounding nature of the stables, pasture, number of horses and farm life. There are 19 other horses and 5 staff aside of the stable owner. A horse in that respect needs to have vision of what is going on in its surroundings and personal space. Likewise horses rely on touch and the ability to feel to keep their selves from harm and to gain more awareness of their surroundings.
I am responsible, in my job and life. As a maximizer, I focus on long-term goals and strive toward excellence. As a nurse, working in an environment of change, the strength of my personality allows me to adapt easily and figure out the best way to accomplish tasks (Strengths, 2012). I also took the DiSC Work of Leaders Profile to analyze my style. The results indicate I fall between Steadiness and Conscientiousness, leaning more towards Steadiness which gives me the style SC.
Are you born with the personality and behavior you have or the way you were raised? Nature refers to heredity, the influence of inherited characteristics on personality, physical growth, intellectual growth, and social interactions. And nurture refers to the influence of the environment on all those same things and includes parenting styles, physical surroundings, economic factors, and anything that can have an influence on development does not come from within the person (White 312-313). Nature vs Nurture Twin studies are a vastly important tool in dissecting the nature vs nurture controversy, one study included were two identical twin girls that were adopted in China by different parents; both raised in two different continents.

The trait I believe I reflect most is caring. I am always available when my friends, or even strangers, need help. I hope that I am a good person for someone to talk to as I am open-minded enough to never judge someone for their misfortunes or wrong doings. This brings me to the other trait I relate to most, which is open-minded. I believe that I am able to understand most people’s point of view in situations even if they seem to be in the wrong. Two other traits I relate to very much, however not as much as the aforementioned traits, are knowledgeable and risk-taker. I am knowledgeable not only in the sense that I am intelligent but also that I am on a journey of seeking higher knowledge and the secrets the world has to offer me. Knowledgeable can help me in my area of risk-taking by allowing me to not take risks that will produce a dangerous outcome. I am a risk-taker in my personal life more than my educational one because I find joy in new experiences and enjoy being adventurous and taking risks. The traits that I particularly relate to are balanced, a thinker, and reflective. I view myself as a thinker due to the immense amount of time I spend pondering the spiritual aspect of life. Although I would possibly describe myself as a thinker, I would have a harder time describing myself as reflective because I prefer to live in the now and not reflect back onto my sad past. Balanced is a trait that I see in myself but I also me failing at being balanced always. I tend to balance time between friends poorly, however not by intention. Also, I need to work on balancing my time spent on projects and assignments in school. The traits on the list I relate to the least are principled, inquirer, and communicator. Although I am principled, I find myself being more open to ideas and possibilities, that some people believe are wrong. I am not as stubborn as many principled people are, my opinion is
Analysis of a poem - Horses by Edwin Muir It is said that one should Forget the past and live in the present It is said that one should forget the past and live in the present. However, Edwin Muir’s ‘Horses’ is a poem of past memories. The The interesting part is that it deals with many conflicts and issues which are prevalent even today. It is thus a bridge between the past and present and expressed in the form of a piece of literature. Muir himself said that in writing about horses in this poem, he was reflecting his childhood view of his father’s plough horses, which must have seemed huge, powerful and mysterious to a boy of four.
It is remarkable that by answering a few basic questions, a person can learn key characteristics of his or her personality. After taking the personality test, I learned my general personality type is “The Consul” (ESFJ-A). Individual traits of my personality type are more extroverted than introverted, more observant than intuitive, more feeling than thinking, more judging than prospecting, and more assertive than turbulent. My role is Sentinel and my strategy is People Mastery (“Consul Personality,” 2017). The results of the personality test offered insight into my overall personality type and its social and workplace implications.
My next characteristic is Investigative and I don’t see much of me being that type of person except certain aspects of the description. I do like to work alone rather than working with a group since I rather get things done quick and easily, and also that I know that I can depend on myself to get things done rather than hoping that half of the other task does get completed. I do sometimes feel that my leadership skills are not always very good than what they should be. Only reason I feel this is from past experiences I have faced that have showed me that I’m part of the crowd than being outside and different from socie...
As a type A personality I am always on the go, seeking efficiencies in nearly every task, if not attempting to do multiple tasks at once (Robbins & Judge, 2009, p. 114). With high job motivation, I am at the top of my organization able to influence and control the planning and execution of daily events (Robbins & Judge, 2009, p. 220). I am
