In my opinion I display characteristics of the Enterprising, Conventional, and Social Occupational Themes. I am lead to this opinion by agreement with the descriptions of both Enterprising and Conventional themes. The Strong Interest Inventory Assessment I completed stated Enterprising theme potential skills as “verbal ability, ability to motivate and direct others.” I have been able to motivate and direct others through management, volunteer work, coaching, and many other activities in my life. I enjoy being able to envision, direct, and see an idea or project come together. The report described Conventional theme potential skills as “ability to work with numbers, data analysis, finances, attention to detail.” I am skilled with the ability to analyze large amounts of data to use in a number of different ways depending on what question is being asked. The best way I’ve demonstrated this is to put together projects for a …show more content…
Having done prior assessments and analyzed only strengthens the argument that I possess the attributes of the Enterprising, Conventional, and Social themes based on the skills and values defining them. Last semester I was able to complete the Myer Briggs Assessment to find that I am an ENTJ personality type. The assessment indicated I possess the personality type described as “Extraverted Thinking with Introverted Intuition” similar to the SII Assessment. Life experience I’ve had that included the skills detailed in Enterprising, Conventional, and Social themes provided information allowing me to concur with the findings of this assessment. The occupation themes and interest do not surprise me because I have researched or worked in similar positions or concentrations. So, based on all of the previous knowledge and new knowledge I am not surprised with the
Now as I’ve been agreeing with all the test’s results and their meanings behind them, there is something that Ms. Kendra Cherry speaks of that I don’t agree with, and that is some of her career choices for ISFJ people. Now she does gives an examples of some that are good choices such as a bookkeeper, banker, and an accountant, she thinks that some of the best career choices for people with the personality type are social worker, counselor, teacher, etc. The reason why I disagree with her choices is that I feel that her choices don’t go well with people who have the ISFJ type of personality. Knowing what it means to be a ISFJ, you would know by now that people who have this type of personality are kinds of people who wouldn’t fit the mold of
I love to read and learn, I love to read self-improvement books, and books about science. I am drawn to lists that have suggestions, tips, exercises, and suggestions on whatever topic I am interested in at the moment or need to learn about. This strength can help me succeed at GCU because I tend to enjoy talking to my classmates and professors about ideas, theories, and concepts to gather the latest thinking. I love to gather information, I will often delve more deeply into subjects that intrigue me the most people. This could be a positive when I have big projects or research papers.
The Jung Typology Assessment concluded that my personality type was considered a ESFJ type. According to the results, it says my personality is Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging. We are called "a provider." Although after ready your results, I could see myself being a ENFJ as well. We share similar traits.
Upon completion of the Strengths Finder survey, I learned I have five areas of strength (Clifton & Anderson & Schreiner, 2006). These strengths are; achiever, communication, arranger, positivity, and ideation. I must admit, before taking this survey there were doubts surrounding its accuracy. By nature, I am a sceptic of this type of personal inflection conducted by an outsourced company. Prior to taking it, I kept telling myself, there is no possible way that a simple survey can give me insight on my inner workings.
The one theme that did surprise me was the result, restorative. After reading the explanation as to why I received this as strength, I agree restorative can be considered a strength of mine and I would never have considered this a strength before this assessment. I am not surprised I got received learner, achiever, and focus. I believe all of these strengths are required when working in the nursing healthcare field.
Overview I took the Myers-Briggs Personality test and tested as an ENTJ. I felt that the this gave me an accurate rating and felt that the description it gave was accurate. I went and read the descriptions for all the other personality types to see if any of them were a better match.
There are many different aspects to consider when an individual is trying to see what career best suits them and who they are as a person. Some people are very strong and confident in who they are and what aspirations they want to see accomplished in their lives. Others are not so sure of themselves or have no direction in where they would like to see themselves after high school or college. In these extreme cases, one concept that people use that assist individuals in finding themselves and what they want to do with their life is by taking the Myers Briggs assessment. I took the Myers Briggs test and found it extremely interesting due to the personality traits that were given to me.
I would recommend the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Bespeaker) because it is the most felicitous one, in terms of what the railroad amalgamations are probing for which are focused introverts, compared to the other assessments. The MBTI is designed to provide prodigious amounts of information about individual's predilections and their personalities predicated on a four dimension scale (Extroversion versus Introversion, Sensing versus Intuition, Cerebrating versus Feeling and Judging versus Perceiving). Additionally, it has been found subsidiary in presaging the prosperity of employees in their professional settings. This is precisely the type of test the railroad amalgamations are probing for to assess their employees for - focused and adept railroad
Week one: Reflection Paper Assignment The personality type that was indicated from my completion of the MBTI puzzle is introvert, sensing, feeling, and judging (ISFJ). I would say what surprised me the most about these results were the personality tendencies of sensing and introvert. The personality tendency of sensing says I am practical and cost effective. I do not feel like I am practical when it comes to money
Recently I took the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, I was giver the result of ISTJ (Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging) (Jung Typology Test). The result given to me is something that I would agree with. The careers that were given to me through the test ,however, is something I would not agree with. Things such as Store Manager and Dental Assistant are careers I could not picture myself doing.
Once completing multiple personality tests; thus I was finally able to confirm ESTJ as my personality type. Since I was getting unsuited suggestions of career choices, I retook the test until ESTJ was able to fit more of my interests and viewpoints. The 16 Personalities Test results gave me a more detailed description of who I am and insight on my personality traits. It has helped me figure out aspects that can help me get a better understanding of myself.
After seeing the strong interest inventory report, I am not surprised by my results. It was pretty much what I had expected. Among the six general occupational themes, I learned that the three I scored the highest in were conventional (C), social (S), and enterprising (E). I scored highest in the conventional theme because it is the one that most accurately reflects my work personality. As a matter of fact, I am an organized person.
Although I can look back into my past and find many examples of actions or behaviors that aligned my personality perfectly with an INTJ personality type and perhaps in a relax environment that is my personality. I normally do not think of myself as the INTJ describe by many of the references. These references describe INTJs as natural leaders, hard workers, supreme strategist, able to objectively see the reality of a situation and able to adopt and change things when they are not working. These also describe INTJs as effective leaders that sometime choose to remain in the background until they see the need to take over the lead and analytical individuals with highly-developed imagination that sometime rather prefer to keep the time they spend
For my personality type, I have gotten both INTJ and ISTJ. I am more sensing in that I don’t believe in having “a hunch” but also more intuitive in that I like numbers and Algebra, which are abstract. I am a good student, especially in math. I enjoy and am talented at doing mental math. For example I like doubling 2s like Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog and the Nighttime when I’m bored and calculating and estimating percents on tests.
Usually people are concerned about job specific skills, what they’ve trained for in school; also known as hard skills.
