This paper aims to analyze my personality as a professional and it also goes into details about every aspect of my personality as per the Jung Typology Test. My personality type is INTJ according to the test. This categorizes my type as an “Independent Thinker” (Kroeger, Thuessen, & Rutledge, 2002, p. 324).

However, an introvert, according to the dictionary, is defined as “a person characterized by concern primarily for his or her own thoughts and feelings.” I am extremely concerned about what people think about me and I wear my feelings on my sleeves at times. When applied to work, I am a true introvert since I keep to myself and prefer to think problems through so that I can understand things thoroughly.

I also have to learn how to have patience in delegating specific assignments to other colleagues at work and to help them instead of judging
