Okay today I started with a career development course. There will be 6 more weeks of this so I hope you enjoy this. :p

The first seminar/class was basically an introduction followed by a basic introduction to different personality types courtesy of Myers-Briggs. Before the start of the class we had to take the Myers-Briggs personality test (if you want to take on go here or here). Now I think that whole purpose of this exercise was for us to become aware that there are different types of people because they did not tell us how to determine different personality types (without a test) or how to interact with these different personality types. I guess it is another one of those be sensitive to other people things. If you are interested my results were as follows:

Another way to look at this is:

Reported Type:			E			S		T		P
Perference Scores:			3			19		39		27

Here is a description of me:

ESTP: Good at on-the-spot problem solving. Like action, enjoy whatever comes along. Tend to like mechanical things and sports, with friends on the side. Adaptable, tolerant, pragmatic; focused on getting results. Dislike long explanations. Are best wiht real thing that can be worked, handled, taken apart, or put together.

Or:

ESTP: "Promoter". Action! When present, things begin to happen. fiercely competitive. Entrepreneur. Often uses shock effect to get attention. Negotiator par excellence. 13% of the population.

If I had been a little be more intraverted I could have been this:

ISTP: "Artisan". Impulsive action. Life should be of impulse rather than of purpose. Action is an end to itself. fearless, craves excitement, master of tools. 5% of the population.

Master of tools?! I missed out.
