Mulholland's Views On The Myers-Briggs Personality Journey
Mulholland mentions that we have one-sided spirituality and lack the balance and wholeness in life. He speaks of what he calls “creation gifts” that God has given to us through creating us as unique individuals. I agree with him that we need to develop holistic spirituality.
Mulholland talks about the Myers-Briggs personality dimensions and he details the strengths and weaknesses common to each combination plus our tendencies and vulnerabilities in our spiritual formation journey. (p. 66) My dominant way is ISTJ. As an introvert, I tend to be reflection rather than action oriented. I score high as judging which means I have a preference for order. He mentions that we need those who are different from us to complement to provide a holistic

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Analysis

    The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-assessment developed by Katherine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers based on Carl Jung personality theory (Capraro & Capraro, Aug 2002). The purpose of MBTI is to measure ones personality preference as a way of determining individuals best fit for environment and career (Furnham & Stringfield, 1993). It uses a scale of four pairs of opposites: Extroverts/Introverts (EI), Sensing/Intuition (SN), Thinking/Feeling (TF), and Judging/Perceiving (JP) to describe the preferred attitudes or orientations of individuals (Michael, 2003). This assessment proposes that the four pairs of opposite produce 16 qualitative types of descriptors (McCrae & Costa, 1989).…

    Myers-Briggs Personality Type: Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging

    After taking the Myers-Briggs personality type test, I received the ISFJ personality type: Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging. While reading the description for ISFJ, I could agree with what it was saying almost one hundred percent. The description stated that ISFJs by their desire to serve others and obtain the “need to be needed.” I found that this description fits me very well: I often feel the need to serve and be needed by others. I enjoy helping out in ministry, at home, and within other homes. For example, this past Thursday my boyfriend came home from his working training in Los Angeles, CA and he stated that he needed me to help him pack before he left to travel the states for work. While doing some of his laundry and packing his luggage, I found joy in serving him in this way.…

    Psychology 1 Module 1 Project Milestone

    The use of the Myers Briggs test really interested me in this module for the fact that I’ve had to take it before in school. It is a personality sense that is quick, small, and a pretty simple but effective way to get the basic traits of someone’s personality. When I took it I was ENFJ which means the test considers my personality and me to be Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging. The test has a couple of questions and only takes 10 minutes on average to take. In each letter, there are 2 options for example the 1st topic depends on if you are introverted or extraverted. An introvert tends to be quiet, shy, and not liking to be the center of attention a lot, while an extrovert tends to be the team leader, the happy go lucky friend, and enjoys their parties from time to time. Then it assess if you are intuitive or observant, if you are intuitive you are imaginative and quick at finding a solution, or you could be observant which means you down to earth and you rely on your senses. The 3rd letter assesses between a person being thinking and feeling based. A Thinking fellow would be tough and focuses on the mind while a person who the test said was more feeling would be more sensitive and follow your hearts. The final letter depends on if you are a judging or prospecting individual. A Judging personality is decisive and seeks closure while a prospective individual is good at improvising situations and they seek freedom. Based on my letters I am considered an extrovert, an imaginative person, very in tune with my emotions, and am decisive.…

    Myers-Briggs Observation

    I believe that Myers-Briggs could be used in my niche. My niche is working with the youth. Generally at that young of an age you are not exposed to assessments and other tools that could be considered helpful. Myers- Briggs would help them see their preferences, at the same time give them experience taking an assessment. It also gets them aware of the different preference types there are (Boghikian-Whitby, S. s., & Mortagy, Y. y.,2016). I find that when you are young many are seeking reinforcement, meaning they could think they fall into a category but once they get the results they will believe it (Frölander, H. E., Möller, C., Marshall, J. D., Sundqvist, A., Rönnåsen, B., Falkensson, L., & Lyxell, B.,2014). I know when I was younger I thought…

    Briggs Myers Personality Type

    The Briggs Myers four personality trait dimensions are one way to categorize the personality types of different people. According to Briggs and Myers, there are four categories in which your personality type is determined. Each category has two options: Introversion versus extraversion, sensing versus intuition, thinking versus feeling, and judging versus perceiving. First I will focus on the “introvert versus extrovert” category. An introverted person is typically more focused on their inner world and they prefer focusing in depth on specific interests. Writing tends to be the preferred method of communication for an introvert. They may also be more private and enjoy reflecting on ideas. An extrovert, on the other hand, is more attuned to…

    week 3 organizational impact paper

    On the Myers Brigg test my extravert was 11%, my intuitive was 12%, my feeling was 50% and my judging was 11%. I have slight preference of extraversion over introversion, which does not surprise me at all as I have always been outgoing in most situations, the only time I seem to be a little more introvert is when I am around a new crowd and chose to sit back and watch how people behave before I come out of my shell. My intuition is also slightly preferred over my sensing, which also does not surprise me as in life my gut instincts have rarely guided me in the wrong direction, I also prefer feeling over thinking which at times has not been the best thing for me in the past when it comes to making an important decision. Last but not least is the slight preference I have of judging over perceiving, I think in everyone this can be human nature however for the most part I do my best to have all the facts before coming to a conclusion about a person, thing or an idea.…

    The Myers-Briggs Personality Test was developed in the 1940’s by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Briggs. This test assesses your preferences for how you learn, communicate, work with others, and work (in general) by analyzing your preferences to 93 questions. There is no time limit on this test but most people need 15-30 minutes to take it. This test is recommended for individuals not groups. The test is available online for roughly $50 or you can take it with a Myers-Briggs professional. If you take the test online your score will appear on the screen once you are done.

The four pairs are extraversion/introversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving.

    Esfj Research Paper

    According to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, I am classified as an ESFJ—Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging. I scored 56% on extravert—being outgoing, loud, non-secretive. I prefer to sense things rather than trusting my intuition by only 12%. I scored highest on the feeling over thinking category with 62% towards feeling. There was only an 11% difference between judging vs. perceiving. “Guardians of birthdays, holidays and celebrations, ESFJs are generous entertainers. They enjoy and joyfully observe traditions and are liberal in giving, especially where custom prescribes. All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs, bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service (which embodies life 's meaning) and expect the same from others.” (Joe Butt, Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging).…
