Utilizing the Team Charter with Personality Differences

The personality portion of the Jungian 16 assessment revealed that I shared the same personality score with another team member which is ISTP. According to Jungian 16-Type Personality Assessment (2007), the ISTP personality defines an individual, as observant, cool, unpretentious, and highly pragmatic. The other members personalities were ISTJ-meaning they’re organized, compulsive, private, trustworthy and practical; INFJ personality is reflective, introspective creative, and contemplative; and ENFP personality is people oriented, creative, and highly optimistic. In comparing the personality types with using the team charter, I have determined that each personality has an attribute they can use in improving performance. The member with the ISTP personality can help with improving performance by helping when conflict arises within the team. That individual will be able to decrease conflict by ensuring everyone is on the same page and following through with their roles. The thing to remember is that all individual personality has to resonate and have acceptance. Of course, we can soundly deduce that everyone has a different personality from one another. That being the case, we have to respect what each person has to offer. While considering all the personality traits separately; I began noticing the strengths of each team as opposed to their weaknesses can help develop the weaknesses of the other team members. For instance, those team members who lack creativity can improve upon their creativity from those who are highly endowed with creativity. Such as Sandra, who has the personality trait of an INFT, meaning she’s introverted, intuitive, feeling, and a thinker. Her strengths are being trusting, organized, and

    Diverse personalities within a group or team environment can be beneficial or detrimental. Similar when dealing with conflict issues, having multiple personalities can clash creating a problem. As a manager that is prepared in dealing with personality conflict I can help maximize my team skill level in such a situation.

    When forming teams in a professional work environment it is important to understand the personalities of your teammates to determine strengths and weaknesses. When a leader is able to define the strengths and weaknesses of the team members it is easier to delegate tasks, encourage brain storming sessions and be successful as a team. Team C is composed of five members all with great leadership skills and a desire to learn and complete excellent work together. The first week of class we completed a DISC assessment that identified our individual personality traits. According to "Disc Profile" (n.d.), "The initial DISC model comes from Dr. William Marston, a professor at Columbia University in the 1920s, who was curious about the behavior of normal people. He did not create an instrument from his theory, but others did” (Disc Overview). As a potential leader of this team, I was able to examine my own leadership styles and apply that to our assignment which is to create a professional development plan to identify the characteristics of the members to lead them to success.…

    In our small group of four, there were many differences in our Jungian types. Two of us ranked as ESTJ, which translates to extroverted, sensing, thinking, and judging. We both tend to be very organized and team players. One individual ranked INFP. This person is our creative team member. The last team member ranked as ENTP. This person is our “thinking out of the box” member. Knowing this about each other will allow us to work together to analyze any weaknesses as well as use our strengths to our advantage.…

    The type of personalities of every individual is very important. While doing an evaluation of myself using Jung Typology Test, I discovered that I was an ENFJ individual. My primary objective is identity seeking. My life consists of being a teacher or a giver. An ENFJ is an extraverted, iNtuitive, feeling, and judging person. “Each of the ENFJ’s preferences compound to make them a natural convincer. Their energy comes from the outwardly directed, socially oriented, gregarious external world (Extraversion). They prefer to perceive the world as having endless possibilities and meanings (iNtuition), which they use to make subjective, interpersonally based decisions (Feelings). They prefer to live their daily lives in a structured, scheduled, and orderly fashion (Judging), (Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge, pg. 386).” This means that I have extraverted feelings with introverted intuitions. I am a people- focused individual. However, I am considered a smooth talker and very persuading. It is said that ENFJ’s are natural sales people. I found it funny that this statement is true. I am an insurance agent with Allstate. My everyday life…

Introverts are perfectionists that have a high level of confidence. Most introverts are logical thinkers that open their minds to all possibilities. “INTJs are ideal people. They think anything is possible and everything is negotiable, (www.humanmetrics.com, 2011). I possess this introvert quality. I believe that there are always exceptions to rules.…
