Human Metrics
Profiler assessment:
Identify and describe at least 4 characteristics of your style.
According to the results of the personality test, I am a moderately expressed INFJ. This personality type is often known as a 'counselor' type. Counselor types enjoy being alone and can be quite productive in solitude. They are described as one of the most 'poetical' of the different Jungian types and can be emotional (Idealist portrait of a counselor (INFJ), 2011, Keirsey Temperament). However, unlike other types of introverts, they also enjoy spending time with people because of their innate altruism. They may not seem like 'natural' leaders, because they seldom try to claim the spotlight. However, they do have great strength of character when they believe in a cause, and can be of great service to humanity as a result. They are idealistic by nature.
Q2. What is positive about your style in working with other people?

As a result, counselors seldom get involved in petty organizational politics, and focus upon getting things done to help others. They are very imaginative and are good readers of people. They have the ability to articulate their thoughts and feelings in a way that are motivational to others. "Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions - good or evil - even before that person is aware of them" (Idealist portrait of a counselor (INFJ), 2011, Keirsey Temperament). Counselors rate high in 'interpersonal intelligence' and have a high 'emotional IQ' because of their ability to use their gut instincts, rather than solely relying upon logic. They enjoy collaborating with and cooperating with others for a higher good.
Q3. What potentially could be negative about your style in working with other people?
Counselors may have difficulty in bending to a very regimented organizational model that does not put people first. They do not…
Personality is the way that we engage with the world. It is a pattern of responses to how we engage with the world on a behavioral and emotional level. Every person has a different personality and this personality helps to frame that person's interactions with the world. When I took the test, I was INTJ, and that has implications for how I would behave in different situations. It is important in
I have always thought of myself as fairly outgoing, and being labeled as an introvert seemed strange to me. When I though about it, though, I realized that the test was (of course) fairly accurate in this assessment; I even recalled a few individual items on the test that proved this point -- my need to "reenergize" with some alone-time after hanging out with friends for awhile, or my
M2Global Technology Ltd. has a specific metric that determines CEO and managerial pay based upon a combination of financial returns, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Stock options with restrictions that cannot be 'cashed out' for a number of years, or forms of equity that are dependant upon long-term goals also reduces the incentive for CEOs to quickly and artificially boost stock prices. They ensure that the CEO has a real, financial
"Twenty-three million Americans experience workplace bullying within their work lifetimes" (cited in Seagriff, 2010, p. 575). With the economic challenges Americans are facing recently, tensions in the workplace are also on the rise, as employees increasingly worry that their jobs are in jeopardy. This fear over possibly losing their job means many employees will not risk reporting bullying to their employers. Interdependence conflicts, as mentioned, are another common type of
