...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...

...Personality Inventory an INTJ Consideration Alyssa Bergermann Eastern Michigan University Personality Inventory an INTJ Consideration Personality tests, a long studied branch of psychology; within this long period of focus psychologists have labeled few tests as reliable staples that individuals unfamiliar with psychological backgrounds can easily interpret. The MBTI, Myers Briggs Type Indicator test’s purpose is to take the designated personality types conceived by C.G. Jung and shift them into more understandable concepts relatable to an individual’s life (Myers & Briggs Organization, 2014). Focusing on an INTJ test result, we will compare the examinee’s personality traits to those described by her MBTI result. Evaluation of these results will confirm whether she feels the test was accurate or if she disagrees with some aspects of the test. We will also assess for areas where the examinee may feel she has learned something new about herself from the provided INTJ test score. Scoring for the MBTI involves consideration of how the examinee responds to the provided questions. These questions are reported in an analytical fashion that allows results to focus on specific personality criteria (Myers & Briggs Organization, 2014). Our results included the letters INTJ, these letters stand for the personality designations of the examinee. Considering that these results pertain to the following personality breakdown, introvert (22%), intuitive (28%), thinking (19%),...

...Project 1 Step 1 Introversion As an introverted person, I often find myself being in my own head. Personally and professionally, I spend a great deal of time thinking. When decisions need to be made, I prefer to think things through to be confident I am weighing all options and choosing the best one. As a manager that is introverted, I tend to work on projects on my own then present them to my staff after I feel all details have been worked out. However, through my management experience, I know that at times I need to make sure I am sociable and connecting with my staff. I cannot be closed off solving problems on my own at all times. Intuitive When perceiving the data that I gather from the world, I am intuitive. I am inclined to see the big picture when dealing with information. Personally, I am a creature of habit, however, I enjoy finding new ways of doing things. In my current position, I am responsible for submitting a number of reports. I felt that the way some of the reports were formatted could have been done better. While it would have been easier to submit the reports the traditional way, I took it upon myself to change the formatting. My supervisor commended my for my initiative and stated she felt the new version was easier to understand. Thinking As stated before I am always thinking. As a thinker, I “make decisions based on logic and reason. I am rational, logical, and impartial” (HumanMetrics, 2013). I believe in doing what’s right no matter...

...[pic] CARL JUNG 1875 - 1961 Dr. C. George Boeree [pic] Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart throught the world. There in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-hells, in the salons of the 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...

...111. PI.Is.III111.rsflllll M. Phenomenon Keirsey and Bates's Please Understand Me, first published in 1978, sold nearly 2 million copies in its first 20 years, becoming a perennial best seller ~ll ov~r ~he world. Advertised only by word of mouth, the book became a favo~te tralmng and counseling guide in many institutions-government, church, buslnes.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...

...an extremely deleterious effect on the healthy development of young people, especially. Due to the rapid increase in drug related crime and drug abusers in Asian countries, the establishment of effective countermeasures for demand and supply reduction are a pressing issue. In light of the above-mentioned situation, the United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI); and the Research Division of the Research and Training Institute, Ministry of Justice jointly conducted a comprehensive study on drug abuser treatment, from 2002 to 2004, entitled “Research on the Trends in Drug Abuse and Effective Measures for the Treatment of the Drug Abusers in Asian Countries - An Analysis of Innovative Measures for the Treatment of Drug Abusers”. The Asian countries included in the study are: China (Hong Kong), Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. This is the first phase of the study on drug abuser treatment; the second phase, which begun last year, will cover Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA. UNAFEI is a United Nations regional institute, established in 1961 by agreement between the United Nations and the Government of Japan, with the aim of promoting the sound development of criminal justice systems and mutual cooperation in the world. The three main activities of UNAFEI are to hold training courses...

Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/books Saylor.org 1 Project Management in a Complex World Faster, cheaper, and better has become the mantra of not only profit-making organizations seeking to increase market share and profits but also nonprofits and governmental organizations seeking to increase their value to clients. Organizations are increasingly using projects to meet these goals. Projects are goal directed and time framed, and when managed well, projects deliver on time and within budget. This book is about how to manage projects well. All projects have common characteristics: every project has a scope, budget, and schedule. Projects also differ. Understanding how projects differ and what that difference means to the management of the project is critical to successfully managing a project. Large, complex projects need project management tools, systems, and processes that are very different from the small and less complex project. Within this text, we provide a tool for profiling a project based on the complexity of the project and describe the different project management approaches needed for the difference in project profiles. Project management is complicated. In some ways, this is a good thing because students who learn how to manage projects well...
