Reflecting on My Personality Type: Insights,Challenges, and Strengths in the Workplacea.Whatis your type and were you surprised at your results? Whyorwhynot?Going through your summary on analysis of ESTP’sI came to the conclusion that while I have the generalattributes of an ESTP,i.e. spontanaiety an insuppressible urge to act act on impulses and craving foradrenalin pumping adventures ,not a big fan of degrading my opponents in victory or defeat and a keensense of understanding into peoples actions,picking a category I would call myself anintrovertedthinker.An initial glance through this document didstartle me because i felt a lot of behavioralattributes mentioned here were describing me(in past or present),but thinking deeply I realized somewere just false notions of me about myself..Having an active social life is no defining criteria for being ‘not anintrovert’.I do prefer keeping a lowprofile and arrive at any decision after careful solitary introspection.I don’t disregard others opinionsoutright but prefer to wager the pros and cons before committing.Intoday’sstudent world being’cool’Is something that most of my generation strives to be,and that gives one misconceptions about a fewand sometimes many things.I had more than a few misconceptions myself, I have overcome most ofthem some after this document and everytime i realize I was wrong it does bring surprise anddisappointment having been a ardent follower of the principle before the said realization.b.How does your personality type relate toyour conflict style fromModule Two?As I said I find myself more of an introverted thinker than anythingelse,I have always peformedwell under pressure and though I don’ttake up fights but I dont back down from one either and over the yearsI have come to see myself as a tough man(which I try not brandishabout).Using my own mind as a yardstick is something I haven’t doneconsciously but deeper I think I feel I have been down that road quitea few times.A detached completely logical analysis is something I findvery appealing.These direct connections with the defining atributs ofan introvert thinker brings me a satisfying conclusionthat I am partthis bunch.That is not to say I don’t enjoy company of people ordiscussing my ideas with people who can understand or/and contributeto it.On the contrary I relish the prospect of brainstorming an ideaand applying myself in every wild direction my mind takes me which isfun but at the end of the day I am a staunchbeliever that the best
