ANALYSIS OF PERSONALITY TEST1Part 1: Summary of MBTI ResultAccording to Myer-Briggs Type test, the INTP personality category is significantly rare and only makes about 3 percent of world’s population. INTPs are analytic and creative leaders, and they have a unique perspective and dynamic intelligence. Their personality is usually easy going nature until their principles are violated, after that they may become blunt and inflexible. The fears of INTPs include the sense of awaiting failure in organisational goals. Generally, they are good leader in careers such as philosopher, architecture or professor. There have been numerous scientific discoveries by INTP personality peoples (INTP 2017). Effects on Leadership Skills INTP personality peoples prefer to second guess their leadership decisions. They believe there decisions could have several alternate solutions for one conclusion and it is possible thatcritical data could be missing from the solution. In the case of a debate, the INTPs convince themselves along with their employees.

ANALYSIS OF PERSONALITY TEST2includes introverted planning, extroverted instinct, introverted recognising and extroverted feeling (Humanmetrics 2017). The INTPs might appear to be undependable to become leader but in reality, they are significantly passionate and capable of recognising a problem in the organisation. As a leaderthey consider various aspects and details that include the issue and develop a solution for such problem. The mathematics is the playground for INTP personalities, including languages, computer programs, and other complex structures. As a leader the INTPs prefer torecognise, discover, master and manipulate systems that can surpass the ideas of their personalities (Vernon 2014). According to Myer-Briggs Type test, the most suitable technical leadership jobs profiles for an INTP personality include computer science, software engineering, technology teaching, mechanics and automotive repairing. The social service jobs for INTP character include legal services and librarian. As a leader they do not prefer practical, daily activities and maintenance, but they expend all of their time and energy in developing a solution, once they find the organisation where they could express their potential and intellect (Myersbriggs 2017). The test questions covered internal and external factors ascertaining the leadership quality of a person. Various traits and features suggested by the personality test matches my personality. The test did not predict my entire personality instead it matched few of my personality features. Those features include logical intelligence, unique perspective leadership, creativity and easy going nature. But certain factors, such as interest in mathematics, computer science, low confidence in leadership planning and not preferring practical activities, did not reflect my character. The Myer-Briggs Type test has the ability to evaluate several personalities of a leader but it is not based on a perfect science. Part 2: Criticism of MBTI Test Myer-Briggs Type test is considered to be most broadly used personality test in the world. More than 2 million people take this test annually, for various human resource department, managerial posts, colleges, and even government departments. The organisation that developed and markets the test makes more than $20 million each year. Many people consider that the test is not based on any scientific principles and it is not beneficial in ascertaining a leader’s personality.
