...Self-Analysis Self-Analysis Oklahoma Wesleyan University Introduction Personality The Jungian personality test is based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types. After taking the test, the result was ENTP. The E stands for extrovert, the N for intuition, T for thinking and the P for perceiving. Each of the four areas of the assessment was very clear after being scored. As an ENTP, the primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in through your intuition. The secondary mode is internal, where they deal with things rationally and logically. With Extraverted Intuition dominating their personality, their primary interest in life, is understanding the world that they live in. They are constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations they are presented in their lives. Using their intuition to process this information, they are usually extremely quick and accurate in their ability to size up a situation. This ability to intuitively understand people and situations puts them at a distinct advantage. They generally understand things quickly and with great depth. They are also flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks. ENTPs are idea people. Their perceptive talents cause them to see possibilities. They get excited and passionate about their ideas, and are able to spread their excitement to others. Their secondary process of introverted thinking drives their decision making process. Though they are more interested in...

...Jungian Test”, I found out that my personality type was ENTP. An ENTP person is an extroverted, intuitive, perceiving thinker. I found out that I am a conceptualizer. I found out that I tend to be resourceful in challenge solve problems. I find that to be sort of accurate because I can spend all day researching resources to find solution problems. I strive to solve problems. I also found out in my Jungian that I am innovative, individualistic, versatile, and entrepreneurial. With more in depth research I found out some strengths and weaknesses of having an ENTP personality. A strength of being an ENTP is being knowledgeable. As being an ENTP we never pass a good opportunity to learn new concepts. Most of our concepts are abstract. We focus our attention on the bigger picture rather than details, and on future possibilities rather than immediate realities. We are quick thinkers that have tremendously flexible minds. We can shift from idea to idea without effort. We are original and have little attachment to tradition. We are excellent brainstormers. We thrive on analyzing problems from every angle to find the best solutions. We are also charismatic and energetic. We can put in long days and nights to find a solution to problems. Some weaknesses are that we are very argumentative. We enjoy the mental exercise of debating and idea, but we can tear down others beliefs and methods leading to a great deal of tension. As an ENTP we can also come of insensitive. We don’t consider emotion...

The paper will conclude with my personal expression regarding this topic. MBA degree to further your career Further education, which does not have to be limited to MBA program, is a major factor determining career opportunities and development. In the new fast paced world experience starts to play secondary role and personal abilities and education comes to the front (Barger, 1995). May we insist on the enormous importance of permanent knowledge acquisition for career development. Our career will hardly progress if we do not differentiate from our colleagues in terms of what specific knowledge we have and they do not. We may all be great managers, for instance, but if we also took MBA,...

...Portrait of the Supervisors (eStJ) Supervisor Guardians [ESTJs] are squarely on the side of rules and procedures, and they can be quite serious about seeing to it that others toe the mark—or else face the consequences. They do not hesitate to give their stamp of approval, nor do they withhold their directions or suggestions for improvement. Like seasoned, stalwart umpires, Supervisors will set their jaw and make the call on anyone who steps up to bat. They even feel obligated to do so, and they’re sometimes surprised when others don’t seem grateful for being set straight. Comprising at least ten percent of the population, Supervisors go by experience and that is what counts, not speculation and experimentation, and certainly not fantasy. They keep their feet firmly on the ground and make sure that those under their supervision do the same, whether employee, subordinate, offspring, or spouse. If others wish to fool around and daydream, fine, as long as they do it on their own time—which means after the job is done. But if they fritter away their time while on duty, they should not be surprised when the Supervisor calls them on the carpet. The top sergeant will not put up with such nonsense. Supervisors are gregarious and civic-minded, and are usually key players of their community. They are generous with their time and energy, and very often belong to a variety of groups, supporting them through steady attendance, but also taking a vocal leadership role. Indeed, membership groups...

...Team Leadership MGT 521 December 15, 2014 Team Leadership The following document was created in an effort to evaluate the individual characteristics of each team member and to form an effective team. The team objective is to establish a new department that will implement the company's expansion into the Home Automation market. The target date for the unit to be fully operational is March 15, 2015. A Jungian 16-type personality assessment was conducted on a team to aid in selecting the correct member for each particular area of operations within the newly developed department. Target Market The company's expansion into the Home Automation (HA) market is a direct response to the technological needs of today's home buyers. HA provides the convenience of controlling lights, utilities, music, and security systems through remote access via the Internet or Smartphone. In addition to the convenience, the homeowner receives the added benefits of cost savings. Heating and cooling usually contribute to more than 50 percent of energy costs for a home (DeFeo, 2014). Unlike conventional heating and air, HA provides the opportunity to reduce the average utility bill significantly by continuously monitoring the living space and adjusting the temperatures in each room. The cost associated with lighting a home can also be positively affected by using HA systems. DeFeo (2014) states, "a single bulb can last 20 times longer when simply dimmed at 50 percent." (para. 3). And since the bulbs...

The student in front was given a blank A4 piece of paper and a pen. The student sitting behind them was given an A4 piece of paper with a series of shapes printed on it. The object was for the student sitting behind to tell the student sitting in front how to replicate the shapes onto their blank A4 piece of paper. The only rule was that the student listening to the instructions was not aloud...

...MY LEARNING PORTFOLIO- How I apply learning experiences in my life Abstract Until early last century Pedagogy was widely advocated as the foundation of all education, irrespective of the age group or subject area being taught. The word itself is from ancient Greek ‘paidagageo’ meaning literally ‘to lead the child’. Rote learning was a small part of pedagogy, which conditioned the learner for a known outcome or answer, however one in which there was no variables. It wasn’t until the two World Wars and the industrial revolution, that the practice of adult teaching became accepted as having different methodologies from pedagogy. Many adults that undertake learning do so in the knowledge that they bring different life experiences into the medium, however these experiences can draw in environmental and motivational factors that could become barriers in the absorption of the content. Elton, M (1949) and his studies into the Hawthorn experiments conducted from 1924-1932, provides an example of the increase in productivity (learning or motivation) being attributed to the interest being shown in the individual. From my limited experience within an adult learning environment, I see the Hawthorn effect as a practice example of adult learning, whereby the tutor (employer) engages with, shows interest in and motivates the individual for productivity or knowledge gains. In centuries past, the learning experience was very much one-way communication, however with the advent of adult...
