¶ … Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality profile is a valuable resource used to quantify the intangible aspects of individual personality type. The results of this test can be used to develop a firm comprehension of how personality impacts a person's thoughts, behaviors, and actions, while providing leaders with a viable method through which to emphasize personality type while enhancing employee effectiveness. After taking the MBTI assessment, my results showed that I am predominately an (E)xtroverted, (S)ensing, (T)hinking and (J)udging, or ESTJ, personality type. According to the MBTI Assessment Results sheet, "above all else, ESTJs are logical & #8230; (and) as they apply their logic to people, places and things, they become objective organizers and terrific managers," and I would concur with this evaluation of my personality. My past experiences working in (insert your profession/field of study here) have consistently challenged me to employ logical thinking in order to successfully accomplish individual tasks and organizational objectives. By employing a systematic approach to organizing my work and study habits, including the construction of an efficient schedule that maximizes my productivity, I routinely use my naturally logical personality to gain advantages and capitalize on my strong suits.

Disadvantages of an ESTJ Personality

As an ESTJ personality type who is most comfortable working within a predetermined structure, there are disadvantages which must be overcome in order to remain successful. For instance, when I am presented with an unforeseen circumstance during my work, such as (insert brief example of obstacle you encounter in your profession/field of study), this unpredictability can sometimes throw my progress off track. The fact that I am an ESTJ personality means regularity and routine help me work to the best of my abilities, so I always try to mitigate the risk of various contingencies by anticipating possible outcomes. This aspect of my personal and professional history is aligned with the MBTI Assessment Results sheet I received, which states that ESTJs "are practical and realistic and want everything to make sense and be in order," but I am obviously aware of the need to make adjustments on the fly when circumstances warrant adaptability. Overcoming the natural urge to apply structure that is inherent to the ESTJ personality type is essential to achieving success in my post-college career, because externalities are inevitable during the course of any complex activity, and stressful situations are par for the course within nearly every profession.

Conclusion

As somebody who is naturally (E)xtroverted, (S)ensing, (T)hinking and (J)udging all at once, the seeming contradiction between my logical nature and my extroverted desire to engage with other people can sometimes be difficult. While forming friendships and productive working relationships is relatively easy for me, understanding the reasons why other people behave in the ways they do does not always agree with my desire for order and structure. People are inherently unpredictable creatures who are prone to act on their emotions, and for ESTJs like myself, this can present certain obstacles. However, I am very glad to know that my mind works the way it does for a very good reason, and figuring out how to use the results of this MBTI personality type test to my advantage is exactly what an ESTJ would do first.
