Temperament

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 that I am an ISFJ. I believe that this personality type accurately represents my personality, except for the ‘F’ in the typology. After learning from the lecture, I believe that I am an ISTJ. Each aspect of the ISTJ fits my preferences in learning and in my relationships with others. The ‘I’ in the classification above stands for “Introverted.” I am definitely an introvert. I “recharge” by thinking, writing, and spending time on my…

While taking the personal assignment called Holland Code I was able to see what kind of person I am and see what matches my personality, preferences and likings to a not only one category but my top three.

So for my top choice, I received a S…

Self-Assessment Assignment 1.A. Personality Test: Guardians I have already done this kind of test more than twice before, and I always got the same result, which is ISTJ. This website didn’t tell which personality type I have, but they told me I am a Guardian (SJ’s), and ISTJ is one of the four types of Guardians. The part that I totally agree with is that I am following the rules and cooperating with others, not very comfortable blazing new trails, cautious about change, honor customs and…

I attended the matinee of the Joffrey’s Modern Masters program today, which I was quite excited to see because Glass Pieces and the 4Ts were on tap! The Four Temperaments is a masterpiece that never disappoints. The highlight for me was Stefan Goncalvez in Melancholic - his supple back and fluid movement were a joy to behold. I also enjoyed Victoria Jaiani in Choleric, as she completely commanded the stage. Christine Rocas was a bit of a disappointment in Sanguinic as she didn’t quite have the…

This paper will present a leadership development plan that assisted me, but can also assist other school administrators who want to deeply…

The mystery of the self and relationships has given way to numerous books lining the shelves in bookstores for years, as well as filling the wallets of counselors. Pride, humility, personality type, and introspection are merely a few terms that come to mind when reflecting on pertinent items dealing with these topics. When examining the relationships in one’s life a certain ingredient is relevant, and that is self-awareness of who one is in relation to God, self, and other people. The lack of…

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Essay The Myers-Briggs theory was developed by mother-daughter team, Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, as an adaptation to Carl Jung’s psychological types. According to Corey and Schneider Corey (2014), Jung’s theory included that “both constructive and destructive forces coexist in the human psyche, and to become integrated we must accept the shadow side of our nature with our primitive impulses such as selfishness and greed” (p. 11). The Myers-Briggs Type…

For my application paper, I will focus on the topics of Rubin’s “Four Tendencies” and Irvine, The Stoics and Control. In the reading of Rubin’s framework, I learned that people usually fall within one of the four tendencies mentioned. Our inner and outer expectations play a huge role on our habits. The way we respond to our expectations classifies which tendency we fall under. “Our Tendency colors the way we see the world and therefore has enormous consequences for our habits” (Rubin, “The Four…
