The second part of the personality assignment was to take the Jung Typology Test. After completing the questionnaire you will obtain:
1)Your type formula according to Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers typology along with the strengths of the preferences
2)The description of your personality type
3)The list of occupations and educational institutions where you can get relevant degree or training, most suitable for your personality type - Jung Career Indicator

After completing the 72 yes/no questionnaire my personality type according to the Jung Typology Test is ENFJ: Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging with high percentages in each category. You can see this below.

According to Keirsey the results of this personality test would categorize me as a Idealist: A portrait of a teacher. Click here to read more about this temperament. Keirsey says that even more than the other Idealists,Teachers have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner's potentials. Teachers (around two percent of the population) are able - effortlessly, it seems, and almost endlessly-to dream up fascinating learning activities for their students to engage in. In some Teachers, this ability to fire the imagination can amount to a kind of genius which other types find hard to emulate. But perhaps their greatest strength lies in their belief in their students. Teachers look for the best in their students, and communicate clearly that each one has untold potential, and this confidence can inspire their students to grow and develop more than they ever thought possible. Teachers like things settled and organized, and will schedule their work hours and social engagements well ahead of time -- and they are absolutely trustworthy in honoring these commitments. Valuing as they do interpersonal cooperation and harmonious relations, Teachers are extraordinarily tolerant of others, are easy to get along with, and are usually popular wherever they are.Teachers are highly sensitive to others, which is to say their intuition tends to be well developed. Certainly their insight into themselves and others is unparalleled. Without a doubt, they know what is going on inside themselves, and they can read other people with uncanny accuracy. Teachers also identify with others quite easily, and will actually find themselves picking up the characteristics, emotions, and beliefs of those around them. Because they slip almost unconsciously into other people's skin in this way, Teachers feel closely connected with those around them, and thus show a sincere interest in the joys and problems of their employees, colleagues, students, clients, and loved ones.


Although not exactly the same the results of the JUNG and MBTI both placed me into the Idealist temperament category. I think that the previous result more shows my personal life and that this result shows more of my career personality. I believe that a person can have those two distinct personalities. 


Because of this personality type I can effectively lead a group of people because of my verbal abilities. As a ENFJ personality as a teacher I would consider people the highest of priorities and communicate personal opinion and willingness to become involved. I can also communicate in speech, particularly face-to face and publicly charismatic. Thus making a a good group leader because of all these positive influences.


I encourage everyone to take both these personality tests and see where you fall it will help you both personally and professionally.


Catch everyone next time!!
