Reflecting on My Personality Type: Insights,
Challenges, and Strengths in the Workplace
a.What is your type and were you surprised at your results? Why
or why not?
Going through your summary on analysis of ESTP’s I came to the conclusion that while I have the general
attributes of an ESTP,i.e. spontanaiety an insuppressible urge to act act on impulses and craving for
adrenalin pumping adventures ,not a big fan of degrading my opponents in victory or defeat and a keen
sense of understanding into peoples actions,picking a category I would call myself an introverted
thinker.An initial glance through this document did startle me because i felt a lot of behavioral
attributes mentioned here were describing me(in past or present),but thinking deeply I realized some
were just false notions of me about myself..
Having an active social life is no defining criteria for being ‘not an introvert’.I do prefer keeping a low

consciously but deeper I think I feel I have been down that road quite
a few times.A detached completely logical analysis is something I find
very appealing.These direct connections with the defining atributs of
an introvert thinker brings me a satisfying conclusion that I am part
this bunch.That is not to say I don’t enjoy company of people or
discussing my ideas with people who can understand or/and contribute
to it.On the contrary I relish the prospect of brainstorming an idea
and applying myself in every wild direction my mind takes me which is
fun but at the end of the day I am a staunch believer that the best
