The purpose of this project is to utilize the results generated by the Myers-Briggs Personality assessment to obtain my personality type and evaluate the validity of the results. Given the personality type of ESFJ with a temperament of SJ, I am given the title “The Caregiver” meaning I am externally motivated with a desire to help others.
