Myers-Briggs

I went to a leadership conference today and took a personality assessment. It was based on the Myers-Briggs assessment which is based on the theories of Carl Jung. Jung said that we are all born with certain personality preferences that influence the way we deal with people and situations.

There are:

extroverts/introverts
Sensors/Intuitors
Feelers/Thinkers
Judgers/Perceivers

So, each one of us identifies with one of each preference. There are 16 combinations. This how I scored:

Introvert, Intuitor, Feeler, Judger

Here is the summary of my personality preference:
Succeed by perseverance, originality, and desire to do whatever is needed or wanted. Put their best efforts into their work. Quietly forceful, conscientious, concerned for others. Respected for their firm principles. Likely to be honored and followed for their clear convictions as to how best to serve the common good.

So what do you think? Does that describe me? Were you surprised or did it confirm your impression of me?
