Cauyan's Myers-Briggs

16 Personalities’ test (www.16personalities.com) revealed the I have an Advocate Personality – I.N.F.J personality. It stands for Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging which represents my four dimensions characterizing my personality type.

The result of the personality test seems to be in line with my actual personality. First, it is true that I feel joy and satisfaction every time I exert time and effort helping the people around me. Through this, they reciprocate the good deeds by paying back. Second, I do try my best to be able to avoid conflicts because I believe that conflicts are a waste of time. However, If I’m unable to avoid these conflicts, I also try my very best to resolve them in many ways. Lastly, I strive everyday to achieve my dreams and goals in life.  

INFJ’s are usually those who work well with and for people. Some are counselors, social workers, human resource workers, and managers. Famous INFJ’s are Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Mother Teresa. I do agree that the characteristics of an INFJ would be fit for the recommended jobs and I would also be a good performer once I’d be hired for those jobs. However, my dream job – being a pilot seems a bit far from the stated jobs since it’s under the ISTP personality. The results do not appeal to me that much because it’s too far from what I’ve always wanted and there’s a small chance of me being employed in those occupations.

Myers-Briggs Personality Test is a great avenue for a person to identify who he really is. My results made me realize that I’m more than just what I know and what people know about me. It is really important for someone to know who he really is for him to be able to relate to the people around him. Also, it is important to know oneself to know others. This is a key to being a business leader – know yourself and your constituents, for you to be able to work well and to be able to produce desired outcomes.
