Personality Blog Post # 1

I started this assignment by reading the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator. After reading this thoroughly, it was decided that I am an ESTJ personality.

ESTJPractical, realistic, matter-of-fact. Decisive, quickly move to implement decisions. Organize projects and people to get things done, focus on getting results in the most efficient way possible. Take care of routine details. Have a clear set of logical standards, systematically follow them and want others to also. Forceful in implementing their plans.

I would agree 100% that I have an ESTJ personality. I am very practical and I am always thinking about the more realistic decisions. I tend to look at what situations make more sense and what will be best in the long run. I am also very organized. I enjoy planning, organizing, and taking charge of events. I always like to have a plan and to stick to it. I believe having a plan is the best way to set goals and achieve them. I personally believe that having a set plan helps your life run smoother and allows you to avoid unneeded stress. I also looked at the personality types on another website; keirsey.com. According to this website I have a guardian personality. Guardians are usually supervisors.


"Guardians are highly social and community-minded, with many rising to positions of responsibility in their school, church, industry, or civic groups. Supervisors like to take charge of groups and are comfortable issuing orders. They are cooperative with their own superiors, and they would like cooperation from the people working under them. Supervisors enjoy and are good at making schedules, agendas, inventories, and so on, and they much prefer tried and true ways of doing things over speculation and experimentation. Supervisors keep their feet firmly on the ground and would like those under their supervision to do the same, whether employee, subordinate, spouse, or offspring. Supervisors have no problem evaluating others and tend to judge how a person is doing in terms of his or her compliance with, and respect for, schedules and procedures.  Supervisors are unbelievably hard-working. Even as children they are industrious, and they usually respect their parents as authority figures. In school Supervisors are often model students, dutifully following directions, doing all their homework, doing it thoroughly, and on time. Above all else, they wish to do what they are supposed to do, and they rarely question the teacher's assignments, method of instruction, standards, or authority. And their industry and perseverance only become more important to them as they grow into adulthood and take on the responsibilities of job and family. Supervisors approach human relations along traditional lines. Marriage and parenthood are sacred to them, and they tend to have a large circle of friends, with many friendships faithfully maintained over the years. Social gatherings and ceremonies have great meaning for them, and they look forward to holiday parties, club dances, weddings, class reunions, awards banquets, and the like. In social situations, Supervisors are friendly and talk easily with others. Though they can seem a bit formal in their manners, Supervisors are pretty easy to get to know. At ease in polite company, they tend not to confuse people by sending double messages or putting on airs-what they seem to be, they are."

Again, I agree 100% with this description. I think it describes my personality, beliefs, and values perfectly.
