Myers Briggs Personality Test

While taking the Myers-Briggs Personality Test online, I found that my personality type was ISFJ (Introvert, Sensing, Feeling and Judging). This test was interesting to me because I have never taken a personality test ever in my life. To get an understanding of the type of person I am by taking this test, really helps me want to research more of who I am as a person. I will describe in detail the ISFJ through my eyes throughout this project.

I sometimes feel as though I live in a world where I need to be needed. Sometimes I feel so unappreciated by family, friends and co-workers.

My sister says that I am always thinking about myself, but I do not think that is true. I sometimes get rapped up into the emotional rollercoaster rides that I endure, that I do not let other people’s situations affect me. I am a very caring person and I can tell when others may be going through difficult times or has personal problems that they may be enduring. I am very good at sensing the feelings of others especially if they are close to me or I have known them for a long time. I have been a manager at my job for the past ten years. I can sense when my employees are experiencing ‘rough patches’ in their lives or going through emotional times in their lives. Stewardship focuses on people participating together for a common goal, not for themselves but for the greater good of the group (Block, 2014). I am a firm believer that if I know I can do something quicker or better than someone else, then I will take initiative to do this especially if it works for the greater good. I don’t brag on my talents or what I know I am capable of doing, but if I know it’s easier for me to complete a task rather than delegate, then I will take in the task myself. Even though I feel as though the people I work with don’t appreciate the extra efforts I make or take, I do not hold this against them. I am a good person at work and play and I give everyone a chance at doing things right the first time. I can sense the true heart of people that I have known for a long time and hence I judge accordingly. Most people that know me will never know if I am experiencing any crisis of sort in my life because I am not a person that wants pity or want to be the center of attention. I let my actions speak for themselves and usually do not have to brag about what I have done or what I can do to help others in the future. Good

    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…
