MTBI PERSONALITY TEST

After completing the Myers Briggs Personality Test it is evident that the most prominent personality type I possess would be that of ‘the performer’ or also known as ESFP.

Performers tend to have the following personality traits:

• Live in the moment, experiencing life to the fullest
• They enjoy being around people and are excellent team players, focused on completing the task at hand with maximum fun and minimum discord
• Active and outgoing in nature, they find pleasure in new experiences and tend to rush into things
• Take a hands-on approach in most things. Because they learn more by doing rather than by studying or reading
• Study can be difficult however they tend to do well when interested or can see relevance in what is being learnt, a practical learner
• Observant, practical, realistic, and specific, they make decisions according to their own personal standards
• Generous, optimistic, and persuasive, they are good at interpersonal interactions

My shadow side would be the negative side of INTJ and characteristics of these include: 

• Go quiet or withdraw from people
•  Have a negative view of the future or situation
• Openly criticise other people
• Stop adapting to changing circumstances
• Being single-minded or stubborn
• Not taking sufficient account of current realities
• Not expressing appreciation for the contributions of others, particularly where it hasn't been fully competent
•  Not delegating
• Making errors of fact, and appearing to make decisions irrespective of the facts

I could best develop my shadow side by taking the following approaches:

•  Be mindful of other people and allow others to contribute to the development of projects
• Expressing appreciation for work done, even when it falls short of the my personal standards
• Investigate the facts, and document them, before making decisions based on them
• Take time to consider the impact of the my actions on other people’s feelings
•  Looking for and acknowledging positive contributions and areas of agreement, rather than just seeing flaws and areas of disagreement
