Myers-Briggs Reflection

We recently took Myers-Briggs personality tests in class and the result I got was ENTP. I think this category was an overall good fit for me, although I also see myself as an INTP. People in this category are described as quick, ingenious, stimulating, alert, and outspoken. It also said this category is good at solving new and challenging problems, adept at generating possibilities and analyzing them, and bored by routine. I think that the two that describe me the best are generating possibilities and bored by routine. I am willing to admit that I do get bored easily and doing the same thing over and over is a big challenge for me, therefore I like to keep myself interested and stimulated by thinking of new ideas on how to attack routine things or challenges. I believe that taking this personality test and the activity we did in class has definitely helped me develop leadership skills because it showed me my strengths and weaknesses. Knowing strength’s and weaknesses is very important because it helps show me which ways I will be most effective in leading others.

  1. Thanks for getting this post done, Jacob. You evidently have a good sense of who you are becoming and what you like/do not like to do. As we have found out here in the last several days as we have discussed emotional intelligence, self awareness and an ability to regulate your behavior are keys to skilled leadership.
