...What is your personality type according to the four-letter score, and what does each letter stand for? My personality according to the Jungian 16 type personality is ESTP. E is for extraversion. That means that I like to direct my thoughts and feelings outwards. S stands for sensing. I like to touch things to learn and I look at fine details rather than the big picture. T stands thinking; that means I look at the facts of a problem instead of my feelings. P stands for perception. This means that I keep an open mind about situations and try to perceive all of the options so, that I may be able to change my mind at a later time. List at least four to six key characteristics of your personality type that you recognize in your own behavior and style. Support the list with the help of specific examples. Four of my own personality characteristics that I recognize in my own behavior and style would be 1. Sometimes saying what I think, when I think it. 2. When starting something new I want the detail steps rather than the big picture. 3. I like facts and not emotions in decision making 4. I keep an open mind incase the situation changes. One of the best and worst things about my personality is that I will tell others what I am thinking. Sometimes it doesn’t even matter if the thought that pops into my head has nothing to do with anything that we were talking about. Like if my mom and I are talking about soccer, I could say something about the amount of money that Texas is spending...

...Graduate education is expensive and time intensive. In spite of these factors, obtaining a Master’s degree in business (MBA) is still worth all the time and expense because of the value it serves. Having an MBA will help to make me more marketable in the health care industry and more likely to be considered for a management or administrative position. In the following pages I will discuss the reasons that, with the career goal of becoming a nurse executive, the value of an MBA degree outweighs the struggles that I may encounter while in the graduate program. In addition to acquiring a Master’s degree in nursing, to be a successful nurse executive one must also have some knowledge of how a business runs. The American Association of Nurse Executives (AAONE) lists standard competencies for the nurse executive. These competencies are outlined in a 2008 article in Nursing Economics and include skill sets in areas of financial management, human resource management, strategic management, and information management and technology. A nurse executive must be able to represent the nursing population while understanding the mechanics of the business. A nurse executive who can understand financial implications of clinical decisions and fiscal matters is a huge asset to the business aspect of the organization (Thomas et al., 2008). All of the competencies that the AAONE considers standards for nurse executives can be learned through an MBA program therefore making having an MBA an advantage...

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.

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper As we know that everyone is unique and different, the same goes for the uniqueness and difference in their learning styles and the role of their personality type, when it comes to learning communicating and collaborating within a team. That is why different strategies for effective communications and collaborations need to be created for groups of individuals with different learning styles and different personality types. According to the book, Becoming a Lifelong Learner (Carter, Bishop, & Kravits, 2007) three of the many different learning styles are: interpersonal, intrapersonal and verbal-linguistic. Beginning with one of the different learning styles, in specific the verbal-linguistic style, a good strategy for effective communications and collaborations with this learner, is to make sure you recognize the different characteristics of this learning style. For example students with this learning style like to write, they enjoy telling stories, they like to read, they express themselves clearly, they are good in negotiating, and like to discuss topics that interest them. Based on this, a verbal-linguistic learner will require assignments that require writing papers, and book reading, just to mention a few. On another learning style like the intrapersonal learner, some of the characteristics of this student are that he needs quiet time to think, this student is interested in self improvement, he understands his thoughts...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Can people with different learning styles and personalities effectively communicate and collaborate on various tasks and assignments? The way that a person learns new skills and abilities depends on his or her learning style and personality. Identifying one’s learning style is important so he or she can expand his or her learning knowledge base and identify his or her strengths and weaknesses. An individuals’ unique learning style relates to how an individual learns and processes the information he or she is given, and dictates how he or she studies and works within a group. The results from the learning pathways assessment revealed that my learning style is intrapersonal and musical. The skills and abilities related to the learning style of intrapersonal and musical are the ability to understand my own thoughts and behaviors, and the ability to think and reason on higher levels. Additionally with the learning style of musical I possess the ability to understand and develop meanings of sounds and patterns. Each learning style people develop have different attributes used to develop better understanding of the world around them. For example, another learning style an individual can possess is logical-mathematical intelligence. An individual with logical-mathematical intelligence has the skills and abilities to solve problems and possess logical reasoning skills (Carter, Bishop, & Kravits, 2007). Moreover, people who possess the...

...demonstrated my personality type. The basic premise of Holland’s theory is that work is an expression of people’s personalities, so people will tend to seek work in environments that fit their personality types. Holland’s theory is summarized in the following statements: 1. In our culture, most persons can be categorized as one of six types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, or Conventional. 2. There are six model environments: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, or Conventional. 3. People search for environments that will let them exercise their skills and abilities, express their attitudes and values, and take on agreeable problems and roles. Behavior is determined by an interaction between personality and environment. (Holland, 1992) The assessment groups people into six personality types; Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, enterprising, conventional. These six types were developed by asking people about their interests, and since interests and personality are closely related, he was able to define the personalities and then build the test to help users select which personality type they were. The assessment allows users to be grouped into more than one category, as most people have some level of overlap in the different groups and uses the three most predominant ones to predict the correct occupational area for the user. I used the test to find out that my most dominating personality trait was enterprising...
