...Personality type ESTJ is a unique combination. Out of the 16 personality types, ESTJ’s account for 8.7% of the US population. ESTJ stands for: Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Judgement (The Supervisor). With the strength and boldness coming from an ESTJ it is very hard to overlook them. Do not think you can break any plans with them, trust me, they like to have everything planned out. If their plans do not work out, that ESTJ is not a happy camper. The ESTJ personality comes with many strengths. One strength being the act of loyalty towards anyone (16 personalities). As one would do, if himself or herself let someone down, it is a major problem. Some people would not even think twice about letting someone down and that is because of their certain personality type. However, for ESTJ’s that is one of the worst things you could possibly do. Another strength for them is how strongly they enforce rules no matter what the situation is. For some people following rules is very hard, or buckling down to peer pressure to not follow them can also be a problem but for ESTJ’s it is there second nature. I bet you would not be surprised when I say ESTJ’s have to be organized. Do not think one can go without...

I think that with the use of self-leadership strategies, such as cues and self-talk, I can efficiently influence myself to be a better leader. MBIT Personality According to the MBIT personality temperament assessment, my type is ESTJ (extravert, sensing, thinking, & judging). ESTJ personality types are said to prosper on coordination and progression. Being extraverted, ESTJs tend to concentrate on the arrangement of people, which is an indicator of superintendence. I see myself displaying these traits in everyday life. When preparing for a simple night out with friends I want the night to be planned and organized. Although I like to have a good time, I also believe in a higher authority and following rules. ESTJs see the world for what it is by sensing and transfer those views unemotionally; as extraverted-judgers; they have a thrusting desire to inflict their opinions on the world around them with infrastructure, order, and agenda (Kroeger & Thuesen, 2013). As a result of an ESTJ personality type my strengths include being realistic, dependable, loyal, honest, and a natural leader....

...Personal Development Plan Learning that Jungian Test classified my personality, as ‘ESTJ’ was probably the most interesting thing, I’ve learned thus far. Its very intriguing to read about other personalities, let alone my own. I even had my husband take the test! The description of ESTJ personality fits me like a glove. I’ve never really noticed, but I do find myself being strict to traditions and laws, and having a clear set of standards and beliefs. I expect the same of others, and I tend to find that I have no patience or understanding of individuals who do not have the same morals and standards. ESTJ personality also describes me as a social person who has a clear vision of the way things should be, and being very aggressive, typically taking leadership. I’m often told I work a crowd well and I’m always the first person to suggest a decision and go with it. My ESTJ personality type seems to coincide well with the Locus of Control results. Finding out that I have a moderate internal locus of control, and taking control of the events that affect me in my day-to-day activities.

Being in a unit as I am, you work with a partner every day and have a trust with that person. In the line of work you could spend more time with you partner than anyone else you might encounter.

...The purpose of this paper is to construct and support and argument on why I decided to pursue my MBA and how the results of my Jungian Personality self-assessment fit into my MBA goal. My desire for education started at an early stage in life. My parents who migrated from Cuba in 1966, ended up with five children and no education. I experienced hard-ships that I always attributed to my parents lack of education, to no fault of their own. I was the only sibling of five to obtain anything higher than a high school education. I always prided myself in my scholastic accomplishments given my upbringing, and until this day believe that in today’s competing society an advanced degree is necessary to maximize income potential. Taking my education to the next level is a very important step in achieving my goals of an advanced degree and reaching a senior manager position within my agency. Because obtaining an MBA degree will give me a competitive advantage above my peers, I will be able to advance my career despite competition, economic uncertainty, and a shrinking workforce. I believe that to standout and better prepare myself for the challenges of becoming a senior manager, there are many aspects to managing and being a better leader that I need to learn or improve upon. There are various skills that managers must apply on any given work day, which I have yet to develop. According to ChangingMinds.org (2007) “proper management is vital in these complex environments.
