Myers_Briggs_Entp

The personality type that this Myers-Briggs test gave was ENTP. According to the Type Description presented on WebCt, ENTP personality type is a person who is: “Quick, ingenious, good at many things. Stimulating, outspoken and alert. May argue on both sides of the question for fun. Are challenged by new problems but bored by routine. Like to start new projects. Have logical reasons for what they want.” After looking on the Myers & Briggs Foundations website at the type descriptions it give all the same as stated above, but adds in: “Resourceful in solving new and challenging problems. Adept at generating conceptual possibilities and then analyzing them strategically. Good at reading other people.” The E in this type is standing for extraversion, which is explaining where it is that my focus is, what my favorite type of world/environment suites me. According to the power point also provided on WebCt, I am focused on the outside world and other people. To add to this, looking at the Myers & Briggs foundations website, extraverts are people who feel comfortable in the world and in groups of people, they have a lot of friends and know many people. The N represents Intuition, according to the WebCt power point this means that I attend to the meanings and patterns presented by memory and association; I have an awareness of possibilities and imagining by way of insight. Meaning that new things interest me and I enjoy thinking something through rather then hands on experience. Suggesting that I focus on what can be. The T is representing how I judge the information that I receive. This says that I use logical analysis to make decisions, I seek objectivity and clarity in my options for decision. Putting that into a team perspective I would be a logical decision maker on the team. And lastly the P represents my attitudes toward the world. According to this I am inquiring, absorbing, adapting, changing; I resist closure and want more data. I can say right off the bat that these test results have given a good description of how I go about making decisions throughout my life. Not only when it comes to school or work, but my life in general. I cannot say that I am like this one hundred percent of the time, but mostly, of course depending on the situation I believe that it is reasonable to say that I go about things in a logical manor. I do like to get a lot of information to see that what I am thinking is right, I do not always think that I am 100% right all the time, and like to make sure that the information is correct before closing the final statement. I agree that the outside world attracts me and get my attention, ever since I have been little I have always been very comfortable talking to people I have never met before and getting along with many people. I feel as if I am always looking forward, even when it comes to classes I feel that I am looking to see what I need to do in the future to get some goal in the end. I feel that this type would be good in work situations where training new employees is necessary for the job. Where new idea need to be given up would be a good option for this personality type; because of the fact that this personality type is always absorbing ideas and always looking toward the future. Innovative ideas is something that this personality type seems to be good at, which as I stated above I agree with and feel that this is something I try to do. Instead of trying something to see how it comes this personality type would be suitable for thinking about all outcomes of a situation. This is useful in management positions when coming up with idea of making the organization better, or more efficient.
