The purpose of this paper is to discuss the validity of my personality type and temperament. I will break down each letter in my personality type as well as discuss how each letter works in conjunction with each other. I will also discuss how I fit into my organization and how this learning experience will help me become a better employee, co-worker and manager.
Four Letter Type (Step 1)
Extraversion
The letter “E” found in my type and temperament stands for extraversion. This means that I gather my energy by being around people. I am externally directed (people, places and things) and this is my preferred world. In my work life I am always seen as energetic and friendly. In my personal life I play for three different soccer teams …show more content…
I am the ESFJ of the group, also known as the “Host and Hostesses of the World”. I truly enjoy being in charge, I see problems clearly and work hard, but not without having fun and enjoying my job. My qualities make me 'hyper-vigilant ' which must be a good thing because according to Human Metrics (2015) ESFJ’s, “serve excellently as protectors, outstanding in fields such as medical care and elementary education” (p. 1). ESFJ’s tend to interact with other people and may involve responsibility for critical tasks. I work as a Military Training Instructor and this has been the best job I could have ever had. I interact with people all day and train the best Airmen the USAF could ask for. My passion for their success is my number one priority and I cannot sleep well at night without knowing that I gave 100% to them every day. In my personal relationship, as an ESFJ, I have the ability to express all of my emotions. My happiness is closely tied with the happiness of others, especially those whom I love. I always put forth all my effort at work and always want or feel the need to please others. This attitude towards the organizational behavior of things is reminiscent of “Hesed” as stated by Fischer (2012), “Love and duty are intertwined” (p. 10). My personality can almost come as a double edge sword; because I am always trying to please others I forget to please and often neglect myself. I truly dislike conflict, therefore I am always seeking for resolution and cannot go to bed with an argument unresolved. I do not do well with breakups because I always feel like there could have been something I should have done to prevent it, and therefore I tend to take the blame for the failure. For the most part at work I am a people pleaser, natural of an ESFJ, as stated in personality page.com (2015), we “are extremely good at reading others, and often change their own manner to be more
