This paper identifies my personal results garnered from the Meyers-Briggs Personality test. The Myers-Briggs test theoretically illustrates an individual’s psychological behavioral traits based upon a series of questions. I am an Introvert, Intuitive, Thinker and Judger (INTJ).

My wife definitely agrees with the stated weakness. I always try to provide a logical reason to why I made the decision as opposed to simply saying I was wrong. I also feel that from an emotional perspective, I could benefit from the covenant approach described from the presentation lesson. A World View Perspective on Organizational Behavior (2012) described a covenant relationship is one based on choice. The Lord wants to fulfil his covenant relationship with us through his son Jesus Christ. Clearly, this goes against what I am inclined to pursue as an INTJ via logic. Praise the Lord for His love and I intend to eradicate this lack of affection through His grace and
