Bradley
Determining Personality Types Session #4
Due 9/14

After completing this session, you will have 3 documents to submit.

Based on the ideas of Carl Jung and Elizabeth Myers-Briggs, David Kiersey created a
questionnaire that divides people into 16 basic temperaments. Although no two
people are alike and every individual has a unique set of characteristics that make up
his personality, people belonging to one temperament group will tend to act and
think more alike than people in other groups.

Some of the benefits of this personality typing include: a better understanding of

work and personal relationships, an opportunity to develop a more objective view of
other peoples personalities, and a chance to excel in ways that complement ones
natural abilities. People tend to have the most satisfaction in careers where they can
express and use their preferences.

You have already taken one personality test. You will now take a second and use the
information that you receive from participating in those two personality tests to
shape your responses in the career inventory and the journal prompts.

How does your personality type influence your relationship with family,
friends, teachers?
How does your personality type influence your educational experiences?
How does your personality type influence your career choices?

I believe my results are accurate. I can relate to most of the characteristics that were given for my
results. I am defiantly an extravert, which was a large part of my personality type. My personality
impacts my family, friends, and teachers because it forms the kind of people that I socialize with.
It also forms how I react to situations and social problems.

My personality type influences my educational experience because it impacts the way I learn. I
can often be loud in class because of my personality type. I also my become interested in some
subjects rather than others because of my personality type. My personality type affects my career
choices because I need to have certain careers that belong with my personality. For example, a job
sitting down all day would not agree with my personality.
