Having never taken the DISC assessment before, I was unsure about what to expect. I thought it was fairly accurate in many ways, but I felt that it very much tapped into what I consider my “work” self and did not cover much of who I am outside of that. I scored a high average score on the D spectrum. This seemed accurate, as I am relatively competitive overall, I like looking at the big-picture, I don’t mind taking risks, I can be critical of those that don’t measure up to my standards and I am very interested in new and innovative things. On the ‘I’ spectrum I scored moderately low. This indicated that I tend to remain emotionally cool when work pressure is high, I prefer to work alone when I am buried under work, I stick to the facts, I am purposely difficult to read and I am very reserved in new groups of people. I thought this was all very accurate as well. When moving on to the ‘S’ spectrum, it showed that I am very patient, I tend to stick to what is tried and true, I do well at calming people that are upset, I could do with increasing my sense of urgency and I have often been described by many of my previous employers as cool, calm and collected. I scored moderately high on the ‘C’ spectrum, which showed that I focus in on detail, I like to get things right the first time, I like a structured environment and I set high standards and I back my work up with good examples. I am naturally a little bit of a perfectionist and I like to keep things very neat. Because I have…

They are also experts in hospitality; they…

Completing the MBTI made me more aware of my preferences. My designation was ISTJ, which meant I was a quiet, practical, goal oriented person that take pleasure in being orderly and organized in every aspect of my life. The majority of the findings were as expected, I had slight to moderate preferences for each dichotomy. Though I fall into a set MBTI type, I tend to switch between types depending on my environment. My designated personality preferences play specific roles in how I approach the…

I have learned so much through my self assessments and from reading the material the first week of this course. It has helped be a guide for me to think about how I am going to develop and build skills to add to my personal and professional tool box. Some of the things I have learned are as follows.

My Myers Briggs Reflection Personality test can tell us a lot about ourselves, how we act and why we make some of the decisions we make. Many personality test exist but one in particular is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. The MBTI “ places you in one of sixteen personality types based on dichotomous categories such as whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, or have a disposition towards being logical or emotional” (Krznaric).

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.

"Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings,…
