d.). The MBTI was published in 1998 and is generally used by counselors, coaches, or consultants (The Myers and Briggs Foundation, n. d.). The assessment consists of 93 forced-choice questions rated to a degree on which the test taker agrees or disagrees. The result of this assessment yields a personality type. The personalities include extroversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. There are 16 different personality types. Reliability has improved through employment status, ethnicity, age, and country (Schaubhut, Herk, and Thompson, 2009). Reliability was found through text-retest reliability and internal reliability. Validity tests were through behavioral observations, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, correlations and related measures and brain scans (CPP – The people development people, 2016). The different forms (i.e. introvert scores versus extrovert scores) show significant differences on comparisons (The Myers and Briggs Foundation, n. …show more content…
These are identified by the raw points that each dichotomy received and put into a scale including slight, moderate, clear or very clear. You received clear scores for I, introverted, F, feeling, and J, judging and moderate for S, sensing. This clarity category describes how consistently you prefer one over the other (The Myers and Briggs Foundation, n. d.). Therefore, it is suggested that you only moderately, or sometimes prefer sensing to intuition. This means that at times you may focus on the future rather than the present. This could be identified in your life through your education, you may be focusing on the present to pass classes and get homework done but also be focusing on the future by getting an education and searching for potential jobs after graduation.
How well do these results match your idea of yourself? Do you see these identifications in your personality? Do you believe you are more sensing or intuition? Does each letter or dichotomy match what you would identify as yourself? It is important to think about how well you identify with this certain personality score and if you do not, how different the result is to what you would have assumed or chosen your result to

    Compassion Fatigue has been of increasing interest for healthcare institutions for many years (Stamm, 2002).

    Compassion fatigue (CF) is an extremely common side effect in helping professions, especially social work. CF can occur after social workers have experienced so many traumatized clients’ stories that they have a reduced empathetic reaction and reduced capacity for caring and effective treatment. Inexperienced social workers are often at a great risk for experiencing CF due to their empathetic and motivated nature to help others (Harr & Moore, 2011). Once social workers have experienced CF, they often suffer from negative changes in both their personal and professional lives. This may especially affect the social work practice as clinicians can begin contributing to a negative work environment by constantly criticizing or making negative…
