Between the two assessments, I found the Jung Typology test to be much clearer and more accurate. The DISC assessment contradicted itself on more than one point, and opposed some of what I learned in the Jung Typology test. Upon review of the DISC assessment, I read that I had low Decisiveness, which meant that I solved familiar problems quickly, but when placed with an unfamiliar conflict, I struggled and approached it in a “calculated and deliberate manner.” To some extent, I feel that this is…

Another style aspect that is principal for L2 education is that of personality type, which consists of four strands: extraverted vs. introverted; intuitive-random vs. sensing-sequential; thinking vs. feeling; and closure-oriented/judging vs. open/perceiving.

Ehrman and Oxford (1989, 1990) noted a number of significant relationships between personality…

My MBTI type is ENTJ (Extrovert, intuitive, thinking, judging), with a marginal preference for extrovert over introvert which I feel accurately represents my personality. I have worked as a waitress since 2012 and enjoy holding this position for a number of reasons. Firstly, it quenches my extrovert desire for social interaction with a range of customers. Secondly, extroverts communicate with obvious enthusiasm, which makes me successful at ensuring customer satisfaction. I approach all tasks…

After taking the Myers-Briggs Personality test, I discovered I possess an ESTJ personality type. This is an acronym that stands for Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. People who have an ESTJ personality type are hardworking traditionalists. We are often ready to take charge in upcoming projects and are eager to get them completed. I, personally, am very meticulous in my work. So while it may take me slightly longer than others, I make sure that my work is the best quality I can produce…

JUNG and DISC assessments While taking the DISC and JUNG assessment I really thought about the type of person I was and what the possible outcomes would be. I thought about how I handle situations, how outgoing I am, and how I just react. While taking this test I was stumped when it came to some of the questions, such as what types of books I would read, how quickly I react to situations whether in my favor or not. Reading over my results I came to see that I was pleasantly surprised. I liked…

I had always found it difficult to accurately define who I am and what my purpose in life was. It was not until a friend of mine introduced me to the Myers-Briggs Personality Test that I had a clear understanding of my value to the world. After I took the test, the results labeled me as an INFJ. As an INFJ, we are extremely rare, comprising of only 1-2% of the population. There are many characteristics that I found about the INFJ personality that I have and believe are particularly valuable to…

It is crazy to think about the many different people there are in this world. Some people react to certain situations one way, and others could react in a complete opposite way. Also, certain people are more reserved while others might be more outgoing. The Enneagram Made Easy book describes the different personalities people have. The way it does that is by understanding earlier in life we use our natural abilities to cope with our personal circumstances (Baron & Wagele, 1994, p. 2). As we grow…
