This project will cover a wide range of personality traits that best describes who I am and how I fall into the ISFJ category. ISFJ is a personality type and it stands for Introversion, Sensing, Feeling and Judging. Examples will be provided to show how I fit into this personality trait. The data from the personality test were conducted by answering a 64-question assessment by Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs Myers’ typological approach. The project is centered on the validity around the four-letter type, my two-letter temperament and answering two questions. Those questions are: 1.) In general, what have you learned from these personality tests about organizational behavior that will help you be a better employee, co-workers, and/or managers?

So, that means I need to know the “who, why, where, how and when”. When my co-workers or people that I supervise come to me with a problem/issue, I turn it back to them and ask “why?”. I keep asking until we get to the root cause so I get provide the best solution to find the issue at hand. S- Sensing
“Sensing” preference absorbs data in a literal, concrete fashion. (Personality Test, 1998)
1. The hot word that has been floating around the military within the past few years is morale. Morale is something you can sense, it’s visual – you can see it. This can correlate to the covenant term Hesed. The meaning of Hesed is the attitude of a healthy organization (Fischer, 2009).

Recently, there has been a morale issue within my section and when I questioned the workers it is due to pending inspections and the work cycle.

I like to schedule things in far in advance but due to my position I have to be flexible to adjust to meeting changes, last minute orders and decide what to do as we do it. Recently, I had a meeting that I scheduled about three weeks in advance but due to personnel issues I was dealing with, I felt that was more important so I had to adjust the meeting for everyone. I knew that would throw people off their own schedule so I had to schedule the next meeting on the fly, it ended up being a working lunch.
Temperament – SJ “The Guardians”
The SJ “The Guardians” group’s primary objective is “Security Seeking”. (Personality Test, 1998) I love security; it provides me a stable and secure lifestyle. It is one of the reasons why I continue to serve in the military. I am currently in the middle of a four-year contract and I plan on re-enlisting once this contract is up.
Type Talk at Work – Personality Test
There is so much that was gathered that I feel will help me be a better employee, co-worker and leader. I made a few mistakes in the past and the information in this book helped me realize why those mistakes (i.e., personality conflict) might have happened. One of the changes that I made last year was to put all of my section leads into one area to help improve processes and to cut down on time from them walking to each other
