Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment

Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment

            If I had to guess my personality type, I would say Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging – ISFJ. I am known as reserved girl, with a laid back approach to life – if we have a plan great, if not, then that’s fine too, we’ll work it out. I think it is better to be honest without being hurtful, instead of being bluntly honest with little concern for one’s feelings. I like to make decisions but if I can make decisions and try to tie in how that decision will affect someone, I would prefer to do it that way. I don’t like conflict but I do understand that it happens, and is a part of life. So was I surprised by the results of my personality assessment, a little but the results were pretty much right on.

            I was presented with the personality type of ESFJ – Extrovert, Sensing, Feeling, Judging.  I definitely would not consider myself an extrovert. I have never been known as an extrovert, but in reading more about what an extrovert is, I realized that I am actually an extrovert! Once I realized that an extrovert is not necessarily about one being an outgoing person, I was better able to understand how they came up with my personality type. I enjoy being around people, I love to entertain and plan/throw events, being around those that I care about makes me happy and it is at those times that I feel the most complete.

            The assessment also said that my most natural leadership style is Participative Leadership. A Participative Leader is one who gets the job done through team work and collective involvement in the task. I wasn’t so sure at first about this, but when I sat back and thought about it, I realized that is also true. I did realize that my career choice of Human Resources is a good fit for me based on my personality type.
