Personality Profile

Im my AgEd 404 class (ag leadership) we took the Myer-Briggs test to determine our personality profile. Then we had a speaker come to our class and give a presentation about how the results are determined. We were looking at the results from a leadership prospective with the thought that we need to understand ourselves before we understand others.

Some people didn't think they're results were as accurate. I however, was scared. Mine was right on the money! I got a 12 page report all about "me." Here are some of my characteristics:

• Known as the "caretaker" or "provider"
• 13% of the population shares this type
• concerned about peace and co-operation among people
• no-nonsense, very practical and conventional
• sentimental and caring
• does not take indifference and rejection well
• pays attention to detail
• high expectations of self and others
• dependable
• can't say "no."
• becomes easily overwhelmed
• very aware of other's feelings - not comfortable with conflict
  
• outgoing and sociable
  
• loyal, disciplined, and organized
• needs to feel needed and wanted
• doesn't like dealing with theories and concepts. Prefers facts and realities
• needs advance notice of change to be able to adjust
  
• keeps everyone well informed
• expect others to obey authority
• needs to know what is expected of oneself
• needs a schedule and deadlines
• considers people first, next examines the facts, then looks at the larger picture and finally applies logic
• becomes easily stressed when feels misunderstood, distrusted, undervalued, or not taken seriously
• may feel vulnerable and unworthy
• enjoys working with people and the ability to pay close attention to their needs and wants
• delivers humor, enthusiasm and attentive organization to a group
• irritated by members of a group who waste time and interrupt

I think it would be interesting for everyone that's close to you to take the test. We might understand each other a little better and appreciate our differences.
