Whether we like it or not, someday we will be part of corporate world; means that we will get involved in business and part of any organization. As part of an organization, we will belong to certain department, we are responsible to align our interest to the organization's interest.

It is guaranteed that you will be blending with someone that seems that will not fit with your personality, you might encounter contradictions with that someone due to personality differences, in this case where understanding human behavior will come out, considering the organization's goals (to achieve sales and sales volumes in some parameters). Let say you will be grouped to certain department where your mortal enemy was assigned too, here, you will consider the organization's goal, you will put aside your personal interest which is to snob your enemy, and instead, you will adjust and adapt to that personality's differences, and you will now prioritize to do your job as professional; looking after achieving the organization's goal.

Personality is what makes a person individual; it’s the behaviors and attitudes that once can define a person by in regards to what kind of person they are. They are many different viewpoints and theories that exist but all concede that personality is unique to each individual and no two are ever the same. Individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving would be referred as Personality. The study of personality also focuses on two broad areas: understanding individual differences in particular personality characteristics, and how various parts of a person would come together as a whole. There are roughly sixteen personality types, that Briggs Meyers created in relation to better understand which type you would be classified under. While including top careers, relationships, and core values and motivation; by participating in a personality test you can discover how to use your strengths, to create an exciting and satisfying life.

And ESFPs love to entertain -- on stage, at work, and/or at home. Social gatherings are an energy boost to these "people" people.” This type of personality may also affect the behavior in workplace.

...Leadership Self-Assessment HA515: Leadership in Health Care February 7, 2015 For this assignment I had decided to take the Myers and Briggs personality test and the type A and B personality indicators test each of these test I took numerous times and basically got the same results. Both of these tests are made up of multiple questions on feelings to how you react in certain situations. Out of the two tests I like the Myers Briggs test better than the type A and B test I feel I got a better reading from the Myers-Briggs test. So my results in the Myers-Briggs test was INTJ and this was broken down into four categories. First introvert, second intuitive, third thinking and the fourth judging. I was pleasantly surprised. I scored a slight preference of introversion over extraversion by 22%. I had a distinct preference of intuition over sensing by 62%. I had a moderate preference of thinking over feeling by 50% and I had a moderate preference of judging over perceiving by 33% . And for my other test I scored a 5 out of 10 making me a type B personality. So now comes the fun part of breaking each part of the test down on what type of leader I am. The first scale in the Myers-Briggs test for me was introversion over extraversion by 22%. I do agree with this. I have always said I am more of introversion individual.

...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...

...MBTI Personality Test Dear Future Chief Resident: The following test is designed to measure your MBTI Personality type. We will be discussing the theory behind this test, and the results it demonstrates, during the session on “Leadership and Personality Types” during the second day of the conference. The session will be much more valuable to you if you have completed this test PRIOR to the session. Completing the test should only take 15 minutes or so. You can complete it on paper, or can use a web based version located at http://DOMWebserver.Hitchcock.org/mbti/. The web based version has several benefits: 1) You do not have to score your results, as the web page does so for you, 2) You will receive a detailed type report immediately after completing the web based survey, and 3) I will be able to present your group’s specific data at the session. Several hints about how to best complete this survey: There are no right answers to any of these questions. Answer the questions quickly, do not over-analyze them. Some seem worded poorly. Go with what feels best. Answer the questions as “the way you are”, not “the way you’d like to be seen by others” Do not look at the scoring sheet until you have completed all the questions. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to reviewing this at the session! Sincerely, Harley Friedman, MD Program Director, Internal Medicine Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center MBTI Personality Type Test 1. At a party do you: a. Interact with many, including...

The types range from reserved, creative, and highly idealistic too skeptical, critical, independent, and stubborn. Based on the personality test the “E” category individuals are aware of the external areas that surround them, the individuals around them, and outward happenings.

...Pursuing a Masters of Business Administration The decision to pursue my Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree started out as a requirement to be successful in my field of study. It quickly evolved into a desire to achieve a personal goal. Whereas in undergraduate school, the emphasis was on completing a MBA or sitting for the CPA exam. As an Accounting major, there did not appear to be too many options after graduation. As I was preparing for graduation, my brother was admonishing me to continue to Graduate School. At the time I viewed him as a father figure to me. Ordinarily, I listened to everything he had advised me to do. Unfortunately, this time I did not. I was not focus on continuing my education and had no desire at that time to pursue a secondary degree. My thought process quickly changed as I entered the workforce. Goals do not need to be assigned, as people also set goals on their own. Self-set goals, however, are often influence by others, for example, when goals are conjointly set (e.g. in participative decision-making and employee involvement; Wilpert, 1994), or when goals are adopted from highly respected models (e.g. adopting standards for self-reward; Mischel & Liebert, 1966). Cantor & Fleeson (1994) point out that social context cues, such as normative expectations of the social community, also influence goal selection. I am a very determined and goal-oriented individual. Like most people, I have written and re-written my five and 10 year-plan...

...Running Head: THERE IS NO I IN TEAM Teamwork Can Produce a Better Result! University of Phoenix – Baton Rouge Campus MGT 521 / Management Teamwork Can Produce a Better Result! Advances in technology and diversity have changed the workplace of 1950. Companies in 2009 are now conducting business throughout the United States as well as globally. For example, a company such as The Shaw Group has offices and employees in the United States, China, India, Great Britain and other countries. This globalization has created a need for employees from different offices and countries to work in teams to accomplish company goals. Therefore, companies are now seeking employees who can successfully function in a team environment. The need for employees to function in teams has changed how students are trained. Colleges and universities are changing curriculums to include assignments that students are required to complete in a team environment. University of Phoenix is a nontraditional university where professionals return to school to obtain a master’s degree. Most of these professionals have been in the workplace so long that their teamwork abilities have not been developed. University of Phoenix has recognized that employers require employees to be team players and the universities curriculum has a strong emphasis on team assignments. Teams are comprised of fellow students from diverse environments and these diversities can bring opportunities as well as challenges to a team. Opportunities...

...Jeremy Cleary 10/14/15 Identifying Your Personal Strengths According to the self-assessment questionnaire titled, “What’s My Jungian 16 Type Personality?” my personality type is kind of close to how I may carry myself in many ways. I am classified as an INTJ. Which are Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging. The first one is an Introvert. An Introvert is a shy person. I think I am a shy person sometimes until I consider myself “warming up” to someone or a situation. For example, I used to be on a bowling league. I came into the league without a team. The league put me on a team with no one I knew. The team was just short a person, so I filled in the spot. The only problem was that everyone on the team was retired seniors. I couldn’t really relate to the rest of my team besides bowling. I found myself being an introvert majority of the season. The second one is Intuitive. Intuitive is a person who has an insight to understand or know something without evidence. I feel I am very intuitive when it comes to my children. For example, when they are to quiet I know they are into something to keep them busy. My oldest son when he calls, I know what he wants by the way he tries to greet me on the phone by the way he says, “Hey Dad what cha doing?” That usually means he needs a ride or money. In short I am very in tune with my children. The third one is thinking. I know for a fact I do a lot of Thinking. I try to think things...

...team have the ability to grasp how each individual learns and works. To do this each team member completed the Jungian 16-type personality assessment, the Do I Trust Others and the How Good are my Listening Skills assessments. The results have been discussed and the Learning Team Charter was created, establishing the skill inventory, goals, rules, and conflict management for the team. “So what is the first and most important step for creating effective teams? Chartering is the process by which the team is formed, its mission or task described, its resources allocated, its goals, its membership committed, and its plans made” (University of Phoenix, 2009). The goals and objective of the team will be met by taking into account each individual’s personality and skill set to maximize the potential of the team members. The Learning Team is composed of three different personality types. The three different personalities are ENFJ (Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging), INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging), and ENFP (Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving). Because all of these personalities have different strengths and weaknesses, it is very important that the team charter has goals that would accommodate everyone on the Learning Team . Each of these personalities seem to pick up on an area in which another personality is lacking, which will help in making sure that the performance of the team will continue to improve.

Even her purse, an object that only has to carry belongings, is decorated with silk tassels and “perled with latoun” (line 143). The apron she wears at first suggests some sense of practicality, as she does not want to dirty the clothes beneath it, but it is described as “whit as morne milk” (line 128), which shows the opposite: that this is another ornamental object that is as unsoiled as the rest of her clothing. The unstained white of her apron and undergarments give her the outward appearance of purity, while the reader knows that internally she is far from pure.
