...These functions were then modified by two main attitude types; Extraversion and Introversion. Carl Jung believed that we all use these four functions throughout our lives, but individually we use different functions with a varying amount of success and frequency. During World War II, American Psychologist Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs interest in Jung’s personality types led to their creation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MTBI) examination. Their goal was to help people understand themselves and each other so that they may work in war-time tasks that suited their personality types therefore increasing happiness, creativity, and production. In this “Think Piece” assignment, I will; - Discuss the results of my psychological type given by Myers-Briggs test on-line. - How my specific type affects my behavior at work? - Discuss the psychological type of someone whose type is completely opposite of mine. - Use the Myers-Briggs concepts to describe how the relationship between the two of us could be uncomfortable. - Describe also how I may be able to complement the opposite psychological type. This review of the modules and literature on Psychological Types focuses on these five questions Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test According to Consulting Psychologists Press Inc, the MBTI uses various combinations of the four personality functions resulting in 16 different personality types using.

...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...

The test is conducted on myself i.e. VARK, learning styles , MBTI, and Belbin, those outcome is justification based on my personal experience from various individual who know me to determine the trueness associated with the outcome. 1.1 Application of VARK Test The first test that I performed was the VARK questionnaire ‘How do I learn best’ (Appendix 1). The VARK is a questionnaire to provide users with a profile to their learning preferences for taking in and giving our information. The VARK consist of the 16 questions with four options, and the learner can select more than one option for each question. This instrument, recently updated, is free either as an online or printable version (www.vark-learn.com). Other than this, VARK also provides students with an indication of their preferences for learning and as such it will indicate stronger and weaker preferences. Specifically, take the four preferences emphasized in the VARK questionnaire (visual, aural, reading/writing...

...s-and colleges across the nation adopted it as an auxiliary text in a dozen dIfferent departments. Why? Perhaps it was the user-friendly way that Please Understand Me helped people find their personality style. Perhaps it was the simple accuracy of Keirsey's portraits of temperament and character types. Or perhaps it was the book's essential messag~: that members of families and institutions are OK, even though they are fundamentally different from each other, and that they would all do well to appreciate their differences and give up trying to change others into copies of themselves. Now: P"IS' IllIIrstalllll H For the past twenty years Professor Keirsey has continued to investigate personality differences-to refine his theory of the four temperaments and to define the facets of character that distinguish one from another. His findings form the basis of Please Understand Me II, an updated and greatly expanded edition of the book, far more comprehensive and coherent than the original, and yet with much of the same easy accessibility. One major addition is Keirsey's view of how the temperaments differ in the intelligent roles they are most likely to develop. Each of us, he says, has four kinds of intelligence-tactical, logistical, diplomatic, strategic-though one of the four interests us far more than the others, and thus gets far more practice than the rest. Like four suits in a hand of cards, we each have a long suit and a short suit in what interests us and what we do well, and...

...elegant, the Stock Exchanges, socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with a real knowledge of the human soul. -- Carl Jung Freud said that the goal of therapy was to make the unconscious conscious. He certainly made that the goal of his work as a theorist. And yet he makes the unconscious sound very unpleasant, to say the least: It is a cauldron of seething desires, a bottomless pit of perverse and incestuous cravings, a burial ground for frightening experiences which nevertheless come back to haunt us. Frankly, it doesn't sound like anything I'd like to make conscious! A younger colleague of his, Carl Jung, was to make the exploration of this "inner space" his life's work. He went equipped with a background in Freudian theory, of course, and with an apparently inexhaustible knowledge of mythology, religion, and philosophy. Jung was especially knowledgeable in the symbolism of complex mystical traditions such as Gnosticism, Alchemy, Kabala, and similar traditions in Hinduism and Buddhism. If anyone could make sense of the unconscious and its habit of revealing itself only in symbolic form, it would be Carl Jung. He had, in addition, a capacity for very lucid...
