A Myer’s Briggs Type Indicator test was administered in order to determine the individual personality types of students. I obtained the results of INTJ.

In a field problem a few months ago, our howitzers were shooting 2,000m off from the target.

My Soldiers gained confidence in my ability to solve problems because I was able to correct the error. I did it in a deliberate and subdued manner that reflects my personality but gained the confidence of my Soldiers by showing them I was
