Have you ever wondered why someone did, decide, or say something you won’t have? Personality has a tremendous influence on how we take in data, process it, draw conclusions and interact with our world. When you understand the power of personality, you will have greater insights into how you and others think, decide, and do.
I encourage everyone to explore their natural tendencies through the Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment and find out which personality type best describes him or her. There are 16 primary types that explain why people tend to think and behave the way they do.
ESFP: Enthusiastic Improviser
ISFJ: Practical Helper
ESTP: Energetic Problem-solver
INFJ: Insightful Visionary
ENTP: Enterprising Explorer
ISTJ: Responsible Realist
ESFJ: Supporter Contributor
ISFP: Versatile Supporter
ENFJ: Compassionate Facilitator
INTP: Objective Analyst
ENFP: Imaginative Motivator
INTJ: Conceptual Planner
ESTJ: Efficient Organizer
INFP: Thoughtful Idealist
ENTJ: Decisive Strategist
ISTP: Logical Pragmatist
Regardless of your personality preferences, you have a choice to act in ways you believe will help you succeed in any relationship and environment. Yet, without stress or external influences, we all have a natural way of expressing ourselves.
No personality type is better or worse, because they all bring value to solving problems and growing a business. If each team member understands who they are and others on their team, they can intentionally leverage the power of personality to win. If you want to bring the power of Myers-Briggs to your office, let’s discuss a workshop that can unleash the power of personality among your teams.
