Myers-Briggs and DISC Assessments: My Personality and Leadership Style
My Myers-Briggs results showed that I fit four type indicators, ESTP, ESTJ, ESFP and ESFJ. The preference E stands for Extraversion, S stands for Sensing, T is Thinking, F is Feeling, J is Judging and P is Perceiving. When evaluating my results at first I thought the test was wrong, but after talking through it I found that these results prove that I am very adaptable. Out of the four I most identify with ESFJ and ESFP, the difference between the two are when to use practicality and rationality. In compliment to the Myers-Briggs types I am a D for dominance and an I for Influence in the DISC type indicator. In my leadership class we discussed the compliments to the high types as well as the low types and what responsibilities each have in different settings. As an Influencer I compliment well with the S’s, Steadiness which bring a controlled environment to my ever changing world of thoughts. I think these results will really help me to except my imperfections and make them better also to recognize and bring the leader out of others.

I've taken this personality-type quiz in the past and find it really interesting too. I agree that with the results at first, a person is kind of skeptical, but it makes more sense upon reading the descriptions for each letter.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you wrote this, but I would revise the last sentence "I think these results will really help me to except my imperfections and make them better also to recognize and bring the leader out of others." to instead be "I think these results will help me to accept my imperfections and to even improve upon them. These results may even help recognize better traits and assist in bringing out such traits in other people, including leadership qualities."
