...I took the Human Metrics Jung Typology Test and discovered that I am type INFJ which stands for Introverted, iNtuitive, Feelings, and Judging. Molly Owens, CEO of Truity.com, states, “INFJs are creative nurturers with a strong sense of personal integrity and a drive to help others realize their potential. Creative and dedicated, they have a talent for helping others with original solutions to their personal challenges.” Cite this. In addition, INFJ personalities are usually intuitive, guided by their principles, enjoy creative pursuits, fight for the underdog, good listeners, and recharge by spending time alone. INFJs can be found with careers in fields that help others such as teaching, counseling, religious professions, the arts, healthcare,...

...How real are personality test? Do they really identify the true aspects of a person? Will I find accuracy in the test? These were just a few of the questions that I pondered at the onset of the assessment. In all honesty, I can admit that prior to taking the Jung Typology test, I did not think there was a value to taking personality test. However, contrary to my belief, the results of the test were an eye opener. Truthfully, I felt somewhat convicted in the end only because my initial thoughts alienated me from understanding that this was an opportunity to possibly learn a little more about myself than I already may know. “This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gen’-tiles walk, in the vanity of...

...Overall I enjoyed the assessment tests because I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I value hard work and learning. I never would have thought of myself as somebody who likes to learn but now I do. Looking through all of the results from the different assessment tests, I found some common attributes that I learned most about myself. I learned that I thrive, excel and feel comfortable being in charge, I need to have structure in my career and am an extremely social person that will relish when working with others. According to the jung typology test, my personality tends to enjoy being in charge. I never realized how in almost every case I find myself making decisions on behalf of others. I now notice that when I am at work, I feel...

...I recently participated in the taking of personality tests. Personality tests are invented and taken to help a person to better understand themselves. The tests give them the opportunity to learn more about themselves. The tests can be different, some can ask random questions, and some can compare you to other people, such as; movie characters personalities. To be specific, the personality tests that I recently took were called Jung Typology, the Personality Profile, and a multiple intelligence test. The Jung Typology Test gave me the code: INFJ. This acronym stands for Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeling, and Judging. It gave me this code based off of me answering 64 random questions. These questions asked about what I would do in certain situations...

...The Jung Typology test is an excellent way to self-reflect based on specific algorithm. Upon answering the questionnaire, my four letters of determination were ENTJ. The E in my results stands for extravert. Being an outgoing and outspoken individual is something I have not always been. Previously, my preference used to be very to myself. Growing into my twenties has made an impact on this change. My thought system appeared to be intuitive. Forecasting someone’s move before it is done is something I can see to be plausible; as a result, it is very difficult for something to slide past me. Thinking is a very huge factor when being intuitive, both go together quite well. Lastly, my final letter is a J, judging. The assessment may be referring...

...Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test. After careful dissection of the results I found that even though some of the findings were similar, the two tests painted different pictures of my personality. I will contrast and attempt to compare both examinations, showing why I believe the Keiser test is a more accurate description of my personality and character. I took both tests within one day of each other, to avoid an influence from one test on the other. After completion of the Keirsey test, I found the results to be surprisingly accurate, especially its description of the way my type makes decisions and view important choices. As for the Jung Typology test, I found it to be only accurate in generalities; the same way a daily horoscope found in the back of a newspaper would be. Both tests consisted of more than 60 questions with only two possible answers, all of which I answered with an open mind and honesty. The Keirsey test described my personality as a Rational Inventor or (ENTP), in it I found deep connection with its key characteristics, specially the first paragraph where it describes how this type of personality “is always trying to build a better mouse trap”(Keirsey, n.d., para1). From a very young age I found myself fixing radios, televisions and toys. Tearing things apart and putting them back together was a favorite pastime of mine, now as an adult I still display the desire to build a better product in my workplace every day. This contradicts the Jung Typology test, which described...

...Brittany PSY-100 Psychology in Everyday Life March 12, 2015 Kelley Using Multiple Intelligences Howard Gardner discusses nine distinct intelligences which help us identify information that surrounds us. According to Jung and Gardner theory, we are all able to know the world through linguistics, logical-mathematical skills, spatial representation, musical thinking, bodily kinesthetic, interpersonal understanding, intrapersonal understanding, naturalist, and existential (Gardner). Gardner believed that bits and pieces of each category could be formed together in one person, or be singular, depending on the person (Child Development Theorists: Freud to Erikson, to Spock...and beyond). Using each intelligence to our advantage will help us understand and do more than we ever thought was possible. These intelligences also provide ways to learn how to communicate and understand other individuals, while having a better understanding for ourselves. For these reasons it is important to know the Jung and Gardner theories on multiple intelligences, identify and assess our own intelligences based on the theories of Jung and Gardner, and how to identify and compare our own and others intelligences based on the Jung and Gardner theories. Howard Gardner never planned on being a psychologist until he met Erik Erikson. Erik Erikson was psychologist who worked on a project called PIAGET, and because of this project Gardner decided that psychology was the field for him (Child Development...

...Describe and evaluate Carl Jung’s theory concerning personality types and show how they might usefully help a therapist to determine therapeutic goals Carl Jung was close friends with Freud having met in 1907 and for some time worked alongside him in collaboration developing the psychoanalytical movement. However approximately seven years later Jung ended the collaboration, as he had started to move away from Feud’s theories and disagreed with some vital areas, including the nature of libidinal energy, which Freud saw as mostly sexual and Jung saw as mostly spiritual and infantile sexuality as a cause of neurosis. There was also disagreement as to the importance of the libidinal energy, as Freud saw it as pivotal and the primary motivating force, while Jung saw it as one of several forces with equal importance. This led to Jung discarding Freud’s importance of the development of the child, as Jung was concerned with the development of the person across the life-span. From this point on he worked at developing his theory based on personality types. Here in is the beginning of Carl Jung’s theory of Personality Types, which I will now attempt to explain in my own words, but before I do I would like to use one of the infamous quotes from Carl Yung himself… "We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil...

Jasmine Caldwell 11/16/2014 Jasmine Caldwell 11/16/2014 PSY 101 Personality & Intelligence Paper * Personality Test The personality test that I had taken was called “Leverage Your Personality Type”. From the beginning, I did not approve of this website being valid, just based upon looks and as the old saying says “don’t judge a book by its cover”. As the test came to a close it gave me a type of ISFP: Introvert (11%), Sensing (12%), Feeling (25%), and Perceiving (11%). Including those results, it also said that I have a slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion, Sensing over Intuition, Perceiving over Judging and a moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking. The second time I took the test it gave me different results. INFJ: Intorvert (22%), Intuitive (12%). Feeling (38%), and Judging (1%). (Personality Test) * Introversion over Extraversion Introversion: The state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one’s own mental life. Extroversion: A behavior where someone enjoys being around people more than being alone. This is the first point of where I believe this test is not reliable nor valid. My results...

...The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an assessment test based on Carl Jung’s psychological types and the attitude of introversion and extraversion. Carl Jung believed that much of our conscious perception of and reaction to our environment is determined by the opposing mental attitudes of extraversion and introversion. Extraversion is an attitude of the psyche characterized by an orientation toward the external world and other people. Introversion is an attitude of the psyche characterized by an orientation toward one’s own thoughts and feelings. According to Jung, everyone has the capacity for both attitudes, but only one becomes dominant in the personality (ENGLER, B 2014). The Myers Briggs assessment asked me a total of 72 questions about how I perceived things that have occurred in my life and my personal values and beliefs. My test result for the Jung typology test was personality type ENFJ....

...Myers-Briggs assessment critique Abstract This critique will cover personal observations and analysis of the Myers-Briggs assessment. The assessment helps describe personality types according to Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers typology. After completion, there are two different descriptions along with a career identifier based on the type of personality the test described. Myers-Briggs assessment critique When I originally completed the test about 10 days ago, I was very skeptical of this assessment because I felt that my answers or my train of thought might change based on how I feel today or this week. I decided to take this test today to see if there was any difference on the personality type it would present. I want to point out that I did not remember, nor did I care to remember my previous answers when I originally took this personality assessment. I was not amazed, but definitely surprised when I saw ENTJ (Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking and Judging) code again; although extraverted and thinking blocks were significantly higher the second time I completed the assessment. This gave me a better idea and positive perception about this typology test, as I do not remember taking this type of an assessment in the past. Reading ENTJ type description by J. Butt and M.M. Heiss made me ask more questions than understanding simply because of generalization aspects. Yes, many things in the psychological description fit my personality type, but they are describing many...

...My first think piece paper for this class is about my personality type and it is quite interesting. I have never taken this personality test before and I’m not sure if this is the same test that the military uses to determine the type of personality that we are as service members. My personality test revealed that I’m INTJ (introversion, intuition, thinking, and judgment). INTJs are one of the rarest of the sixteen psychological types and account for approximately 1-2% of the population. The MBTI assessment was developed from the work of prominent psychiatrist Carl G. Jung in his book Psychological Types. Jung proposed a psychological typology based on the theories of cognitive functions that he developed through his clinical observations. From Jung's work, others developed psychological typologies. Jungian personality assessments include the MBTI instrument, developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Cook Briggs, and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, developed by David Keirsey. Keirsey referred to INTJs as Masterminds one of the four types belonging to the temperament he called the Rationals. Even though Mr. Keirsey has considered my personality type as that of a mastermind, I’m sure that my superiors and peers would laugh at the thought of such a thing. I am comfortable working alone and tend to be less sociable than other people. I’ve been in the U.S. Navy for 23 years and I’m in a senior leadership position. I don’t always lead, as part of training junior personnel...
