the strong dimension. However, the judging/perceiving questions were much more explicit which may have caused the weakest dimension. Furthermore, it is important to note that Jung Typology Test is a counterfeit of the acclaimed Myers-Briggs Type Indicator; it may not be as accurate as compared to the MBTI. Overall, these preference percentage scores are fairly close to one another, and they are all multiples of…

Exploring Leadership and Growth Potential: A Self-Diagnosis The MBTI is one of many personality inventories that assists in the evaluation of personal leadership style and methodology. The MBTI was developed by researcher Isabel Myers Briggs in 1980 during practical experimentation on Carl G. Jung’s theory of psychological types, developed in 1971. Jung had proposed that three dichotomous relationships existed between basic characteristics of a person’s psyche. Namely, they included general…

Assessment 1: 16 Personalities (Based on Jung and Myers-Briggs models) 16 Personalities is a personality test that redefines the personality traits of Jung’s personality model and uses the acronym format of the Myers-Briggs personality model to describe the results of five personality aspects (Mind, Energy, Nature, Tactics, and Identity) and type groups (Roles and Strategies).

My Personality Analysis Taking personality assessments can provide a deeper understanding of yourself. Therefore it is important for us to understand how our personalities can affect us as leaders, as well as the people we are trying to lead. Some of the ways we can identify our personalities would be through the Big Five model, Myers-Briggs, Emotional Intelligence and theories of motivation. The Big Five I took the Five Factor Model personality test and the results were as I expected, the…

THE HELPER What kind of a person am I? That is an enthralling question. I enjoy being social and an occasional deep discussion. I tend to be non-confrontational and optimistic, although it may be hard for me to not take things too personally and over-internalize my surroundings. As far as a career is concerned, nothing is set in stone, and thankfully, it is not my job to have my entire life figured out: that would be impossible. However, I am entertaining a few ideas in my head, one in…

The results are what I was expecting based on a previously taken personality test. When I was in college several years ago we took the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI). The result from the MBTI was ESTJ, extraversion, sensing, thinking and judging. It described the personality traits of organizer, assertive, analytical and logical. At the time I took the MBTI, I did not agree with the results because I believed…

In this essay I will be discussing my three ideas from chapters 4,5, & 6 that I found interesting and why I found them to be interesting to me. Chapter four was about Sensation and Perception, the section I found to be of most interest to me was about Audition: More Than Meets the Ear.

With normal hearing the sound waves enter…

“It is fashionable to say that the individual is unique” (1). Thus Isabel Briggs Myers begins her book Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type. Truly, the world has no duplicates of people, and each person differs from any other. However one cannot too readily assume that complete diversity and chaos exists within the sphere of human personality. Indeed, Isabel Briggs Myers herself, along with her mother, found inspiration from Carl Jung 's book Psychological Types, which outlined that…

MBTI Reaction On September 8, I was asked to take the MBTI assessment, and to be completely honest I didn’t know what to expect. This assessment was a series of questions that help you find out what job families are most compatible with your personality type. You are not limited to pick a job under these categories, but it is where your type will do its best. This is my opinions on the MBTI test along with the information I took away from the test. My type was INFP. I is for introversion.…
