Personality and MBA Studies
There are various personalities that are displayed by different people in the society. That is what makes up a diverse society. The personality that I am considered to be is the innovative, individualistic, versatile and entrepreneurial personality. At times this is referred to as Jungian 16-Type Personality specifically the ENTP character. This is because I am resourceful, creative, and quick in the intellectual field. I also like to engage in debates and am excited over new ideas and always assertive as well as outspoken. I like having people around me and I have that ability to grasp concepts and apply logic to get amicable solutions (BSM Consulting Inc., 2011).
Apart from my character traits, there are those values that I hold dearly to and would like to see myself applying in life and getting from life as well. Values, according to National Defense University (2011) are those things that are of great importance to someone or an organization, they are the embodiment of an individual or an organization.
These personal values are salvation which will enable me find eternal life, hard work and achievement, obtaining happiness, satisfaction in life through my assertiveness, standing up for myself always, taking pride in accomplishment and a higher degree dependability, being counted upon by others, acquiring knowledge, wisdom and truthfulness, being honest at all times, forging lasting relationships striving towards open-mindedness, being receptive to noble ideas.

First the fact that I am innovative, versatile, resourceful and creative is an impetus enough to propel me into furthering my education with the prospects of having a better career life and level within the healthcare sector. This will enable me to apply my creativity as well as engaging others in the academic interaction and debates as we exchange ideas and logics, a thing that I am much into.
My MBA will also enable me to be in firm control of my values once I am through with the program. It will not only lead to an internal satisfaction and happiness, but with this degree, I will have a sense of accomplishment, acquired more knowledge in the particular field of specialization that will make me be more assertive in that field as I continue to be receptive to new ideas in the academic field.
The furthering of my education and specializing in healthcare in particular was best fitting in my values as I…

Questions about soft skills and personality traits can be quantified through various means, but to use more sophisticated measures of personality type and communication style would be beyond the scope of this project, more worthy of entire studies of their own.
