Reserved. Compassionate. Cautious. Observant. All of these words have been used to describe someone like me. But who exactly am I? I am many things, characteristics, and traits. Unique, imaginative, and creative to name a few. While I am similar to others, I’m never exactly the same; I’m never a carbon copy. I’m original. According to “Do What You Are” (DWYA), an online self-assessment of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I am an “INFJ”. Four labels stamped onto me; four words to describe my personality to a “T”. I am an introvert. I am intuitive. I am a feeler. I am a judge. I tend to keep my feelings, ideas, and opinions to myself in fear of jeopardizing my relationships with others. I strive to live in harmony with the world around me and I often try too hard to please everyone, especially those I care about, whether they may be friends, family, or employers. I am often found fantasizing about the future and I hardly live in the present. I’m all about being creative, however I prefer organization and efficiency when it comes to getting things done and I am not very fond, if at all, of sudden changes in plans. Although I come off as rude, and maybe prudish, I am actually a very empathetic, thoughtful, and respectful person. I never initiate in social flings and I will most likely never be found having “small talk” with anyone, especially a stranger or mere acquaintance. I’d rather listen to what the other person has on their mind and this builds the trust that people often
The Myers-Briggs type indicator is a test that is designed to look for a psychological preference on how are seen in the world and how they make a decision. In essence allows on to see what kind of leader they are. The MBTI was created by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers. The way the test works is are you have answered the questions you will receive a 4 letter personality type. This will then correspond with a full breakdown of your personality type. Providing a very useful information. I conducted a version of this test online, in which my results came up to be an INTP. INTP stands for Introverts, intuitive, thinking, and perceiving.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) “is an introspective self-report questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions” (13). It is one of several personality assessments that is popular among modern mental health experts throughout the world. Currently, it is estimated that the MBTI is “taken by more than two million people per year and is translated into 16 languages (10). “The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people 's lives” (4).
According to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), I am an ISTJ personality this means that I am an Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging person. ISTJ are very faithful, loyal and dependable. We are also reserved people who are interested in a secure and quiet life. ISTJ’s place importance in being honesty and can be trusted to do the right thing for their families and friends. There are some weaknesses to being an ISTJ personality we are stubborn, insensitive, and judgmental. This test is amazing it really nailed my personality.
After completing the questionnaire for the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator Test I received the personality type of, ENFJ. This acronym means that I am Extroverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, and Judging ( "ENFJ Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging," n.d.). Further, while individuals with the personality type of ENFJ are typically successful at numerous occupations, many work in social work, management and legal services ("ENFJ Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging," n.d.). Based upon the types of occupations ENFJ personalities, I would say this personality type is a good match for me.
I believe that everyone has a purpose in life and to truly be happy and live out your purpose, you must first be aware of who you are as a person. It’s often easier for us to recognize the character of others, but rarely do we take the time to self-analyze. According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, my score is ENFJ: “warm, empathetic, responsive, and responsible. Highly attuned to the emotions, needs, and motivations of others. Finds potential in everyone; want to help others fulfill their potential. May act as catalysts for individual and group growth. Loyal, responsive to praise and criticism. Sociable, facilitates others in a group, and provides inspiring leadership.” I feel the score defines me well because my top personal core values
Extraverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging (ENFJ) personality type describe me perfectly. I am very charismatic, caring, and I have always been a dreamer. I enjoy interacting with other; rather if it is just talking and sharing views with each other or me putting myself aside in order to be there for others. I am also very organized. I like to have things plan out and also know what I am getting myself into before jumping into a situation. Before making a decision I like to research and think about each option and what might come along with them. It also good to be too prepared rather than now prepared at all. Also I’m a big dreamer, for example: with my nursing degree I plan to explore the world of travel nursing as well as becoming an
The INFJ personality is known to be the world rarest personality type and often misunderstood. This type stand for a percentage of less than 2% of the overall world population according to Holm (2009), the majority of that percentage being female and some famous INFJ that can be named are Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa. My INFJ in academic and business milieu: from the past week assignment, my preferred four letters chosen base on the instructions received from Myers-Briggs type indicator were INFJ, which stands for Introverting, iNtuiting, Feeling and Judging. For this week assignment I was very surprise after taking the Jungian test to discover that my personality type fours letter were confirmed to be the same INFJ. Having my conformed INFJ profile means that in business milieu, my creativity and sense of responsibility come in first. Although as an INFJ I’m strongly introverted, I nevertheless highly care about my relationship with other individuals. At work I’m open to communication and always available when it comes to help colleagues to carry out on tasks or explaining work procedures. However, my personality type also implies that I can have sudden need for personal time away from others, which is my way to recharge and regain my energy. In an academic milieu, I’m more focus on setting and reaching my goals; I get motivated by planning in advance my studying weeks and do a lot of efforts to meet my assignment deadlines. I can get emotionally
According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indiciator my type is INFJ. Reading through the “Introduction to Myers-Briggs Type and Teams” pamphlet I indentified with many of the characteristics. I am very interested in creating a supportive, meaningful work environment for staff and those I interact with (one of the reasons I choose this degree program). Additionally, I have experienced stress when attempting to handles problems without asking for assistance.
To begin, I took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment. This assessment has been a reliable source for documenting personality and focuses on four dimensions of personality: extraversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving (Ledlow & Coppola, 2014). Based on my results, I would be categorized as ESFJ (extraversion, sensing, feeling, judging) personality type. ESFJs focus on the outside world and assess their experiences subjectively. They largely base their judgments on their belief system and on the effects of actions on people. ESFJs are literal and concrete, trusting the specific, factual information gathered through their physiological senses. They are often skilled at bringing out the best in people, and they want to understand other points of view. They are serious about their responsibilities, seeing what needs to be done and then doing it. Generally proficient at detailed tasks, they enjoy doing little things that make life easier for others. ESFJs seek structured, controlled environments, and tend to be good at creating a sense of order. They value the rule of law and expect
Improving interpersonal relationship: How can a person best relate to and communicate with other personality types for maximum understanding?
When taking the Myer-Briggs personality test I was somewhat nervous about my results because I was learning about myself answering the questions even before I completed the assessment. My results for the personality assessment were INFJ which means introverted intuitive feeling judging. According to the humanmetrics article, INFJs are distinguished by both their complexity of character and the unusual range and depth of their talents. The article also suggests they tend to be more idealists, and because of their J preference for closure and completion, they are generally doers as well as dreamers. INFJs are caring, kind, gentle people. I can definitely agree with these results because I always seem to put lots of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define the priorities in my life. I also operate on an intuitive basis which can be spontaneous at times. My intuition is very strong I like to say and I’m usually right about whatever my intuition is about without even being able to pinpoint why and without detailed knowledge of the situation at hand. It is also said that because INFJs have strong intuitive capabilities we trust our instincts before someone else’s resulting in stubbornness and sometimes even ignoring others opinions. This is one of the characteristics about me that I am trying to work on because I need to learn to trust others more.
The Myers Briggs test is simply an IQ test. A test where it can help shape and form your beliefs through a bunch of assessment like questions. Similar to an assessment when you feel out job application. They test you on hoe you would handle certain situations, how would you react, and why you should get the job. On the flipside, I also think it can be very beneficial to see if your personality matches the person you are and/or perceived to be from others on the outside looking in. Lastly, if your score falls in line with a minimum crop of people, I think the test will help you improve in those certain areas. Not to get discouraged or anything like that but just for our on sake. We all need improvement. Nobody is perfect. We all are still finding
The result that I got from the indicator is my personality is INTJ. This means I am an Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging person. This means that I am a very secluded person who is extremely reflexive about everything. I am someone who does not use emotions to weigh on a decision but would rather use logical thinking. I am able to separate emotions from decisions and to weigh the positives and negatives. It also means that I am not someone who has a lot of acquaintances but rather someone who has a few close friends that I depend on. “People with the INTJ personality type are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but they do not squander their energy” (Limited 2011). Through this description it gives you a more precise understanding into the INTJ personality. These traits can be very helpful to a team because I am able to get down to business and complete an objective. With the right motivation I am able to
Before taking the Myers-Briggs Interactive Test, I didn’t really know what to expect or what kind of questions I would be answering in order to determine what my personality type would be. Afterwards however, I wasn’t too surprised with my results of the test. Out of the sixteen different personality types, I got the INFJ personality type which simply means dominant introverted intuition. All of those letters were pretty self-explanatory and accurate according to how my temperament and personality are. The statistical conclusion was 67% introvert (I), 38% intuitive (N), 50% feeling (F), and 56% judging (J). Therefore I had a distinctive preference of introversion over extraversion, a moderate preference of intuition over sensing, a
The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) enables an individual to gain a deeper insight into their inherent personality traits. For some people, they have had prior knowledge or underlying assumptions about their personality, but this test provides clearer information about each of their identifiable traits. According to the MBTI in Human-metric personality test, my scores were 22% (E) extroverted thinking more than introverted, 9% (N) intuitive as oppose to sensing, 16% (T) thinking more than feeling, and 12% (J) judging as compared to perceiving. Thus, my personality type is ENFJ. The ENFJ personality group is described as a minority group that consists of natural-born leaders, and people filled with passion, and charisma for example, Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey; they are notable members of this group, also known as the protagonists (16personalities, 2016). The protagonists apprehend pride in providing guidance for others to improve individually and to improve the community at large (16personalities, 2016). The protagonists find it naturally easy to communicate with others and excel at communicating with other people in person (16personalities, 2016).
