The Jung typology test is used to aid an individual in determining his or her four letter personality type. By taking this test an individual can gain insight into his or her behaviors, reactions, and style of communicating may affect the workplace. The purpose of this paper is to discuss my results of the Jung typology test, which is introvert, intuitive, thinking, and judging (INTJ), and how my type will affect my role as a manager, leader, or co-worker. Learning how our personality types interact with other personality types can lead to a more successful workplace. This paper will consist of sections discussing each letter within my personality type, and how it affects my role as a manger, leader, or coworker and what I have learned from the Jung typology test and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator concerning organizational behavior. Personality typing gives insight into improving our relationships, both personal and business, which allows us to live a more balanced and fulfilled life Keywords: personality type, Jung, Myer-Briggs
