Type B Personality Traits

Superior Essays
I am a type A personality and the color that best represents me from the test is red. I chose to give this personality test to a good guy friend of mine and he has a type B personality as well as blue best representing him. I thought that giving this test to a guy would allow me to see where he stands in terms of his personality and how a color could really describe him as a person. He has been a great friend of mine for more than 5 years and having him complete this test will see if how he is as a person directly correlates to a specific personality type and color.
Seeing that I am a red personality makes most perfect sense to me when I look at all the other descriptions of the other colors. Growing up, I was always a leader and not so much

Getting ready for my dinner, which at that moment, I was planning to just see 5 of my very good and close friends.

At that moment, I knew they had planned something and they did not want me to know about it.

Someone might have meant to say something one way and the other person might take it a totally different way. I definitely feel that being able to try and understand the differences among different people is a positive asset in helping separate misunderstandings among people. Nonetheless, I feel that people with different personality handle communicating with one another with much precaution. They are at times afraid to step on the other person toes because they feel that if they say something, it could turn south fast. I definitely think when different personalities communicate, they are aware of the other person and they try not to say something that could cause a contrary response. Moreover, instead of just thinking about ourselves, we need to be more respectful of other personality types and their opinions. Most often, people are not just trying to get you angry, but it is because they communicate differently than you, and sometimes you just need to try and understand and see things from their point of view. When you learn to recognize what personality type you are, you are much more capable of understanding yourself and what communication styles works best for you versus the ones that is less practical. Furthermore, when we understand the personalities of people around us, we can complete certain tasks faster, establish stronger friendships, and form a more welcoming

    The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people's lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment. "Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings, or ideas. Judgment involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been perceived. If people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions, then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in…

    At times upbringing has a lot to do with the way someone receives a message. Although I don’t always follow the strict instructions given to me by my mother ”if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it all” (Rogers) I don’t think that our ability to be opinionated affects the way we communicate. The purpose of communication is to effectively get points and ideas across to an audience. I was always taught to say what I had to say and never skimp when it came to the truth because the way you feel matters despite what anyone says. Rogers says that the exchange of feelings is a major barrier yet communication would be nothing without it.…
