My confirmed Myers-Briggs profile is ENTP or Extroversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Perception. The website, 16 personalities, refers to this profile type as "The Debater" (16 Personalities, n.d.).

They were extrovert like I was, but was most likely an ESFJ personality also. These types are reluctant to change and often need a major crisis to occur in order to push them to changing. This "major crisis" was represented by my superior giving her specific consequences if …show more content…

5. Visualize what the end looks like. I am typically an excellent starter but tend to carry a long list of things that need to be completed. Often times, I start new projects before wrapping up old ones. This leads to stress and a feeling of being overwhelmed. Before starting a project I will now ask myself: "What does the end of the project look like?" and spend more time picturing the completion of it before starting something new only to become bored or
