MGMT 250- MBTI Testing
Considering a business management major, I personally think it is very essential to know what qualities one must possess in order to be a good manager. I wasn’t very sure about what field of management I wanted to specialize in.
However, after taking the Myers Briggs personality test, I thought the concept of personality testing was very interesting.
On the other hand I was bewildered or rather confused. I never thought I was an extrovert. I never realized I would be characterized as someone who enjoys being attuned to the external environment.
In the MBTI test that we performed in class, I was characterized as an ESFP which said that I was outgoing, sociable and that I love being around people. Also, I adjust to people and new environments readily.
I was never open to such tests in the past. However, after I went through the process in class I realized that it helped me focus more on what I could do. It made me narrow down my options in the future. A few years ago, I was undecided. I still am, but the tests made me rule out certain options for my career. They were a good way to learn more about myself and realize who I really am.

I too was amazed at the insightfulness of the tests. They were quite helpful in defining my qualities, and brought some new questions to mind. It has always been hard for me to describe some of characteristics to other people, but these type tests are quite useful.
