My test results labeled me as ENFJ and after reviewing the Humanetrics results and the information provided I do find this to be fairly accurate although not a conclusive result to my personality. The E stands for extraverted, which I find to be true only under certain circumstances. The N stands for Intuitive, which is also accurate when it comes to personal issues but not work related ones. The F stands for feeling and that is that I would base my decisions mostly on emotional decisions, this is fairly inaccurate since I feel like reasoning and logical decisions are a must. The last letter J stands for judging which I believe represents a person’s organizational habits. The application of J is vice versa to the N as it is applicable to my …show more content…
As a manager of a gas stations I always chose to create a relationship with the employees, as well as the customers, that provided comfort in the work place. I always search for solutions to which we can all agree so that issues are kept to a minimum so in this aspect I do feel that ENFJ is accurate. However, it is mentioned that ENFJ’s have trouble working on projects that may not fit their values. Now, I do find values to be important but I am a firm believer in the saying “business is business.” It does not matter whether it goes against my values, if I work for a company and the project at hand involves something that contradicts my values I will work on it without a problem so long as I am getting paid.

As a college football player and a fan of sports I am very competitive and like to think I flourish under pressure and especially in a competitive setting. Also, the idea that I am reluctant to discipline subordinates is erroneous. While responsible of store operations and end results I was in constant competition with 27 other managers and quite usually had the best results. This was because I held everyone accountable for their mistakes. As you can imagine this would lead to conflict sometimes, something I never avoided as I see conflict as an opportunity to learn about your team and how to manage them properly. This enabled me to communicate with the employees more efficiently, which is why I think the Humanetrics result for an ENFJ’s ability to communicate is really accurate.
Assuming that the ENFJ’s tendencies are at work, I do want to disagree with the assumption that I am over empathetic. At work, just like at home, I have trouble showing empathy since I am usually very even-keel about personal issues and rarely try to relate to anyone on an emotional level. A simple “I’m sorry for your loss” or “sorry to hear that” will do. I do however, find this to be a bad trait of mine and feel that it may be necessary to show empathy to connect more with employees and clients. Obviously not wanting to be overly empathetic is key as I do feel that this
