Introduction
Personality refers to the set of emotional qualities as well as the manner in which an
individual behaves, thus making a person different from the others. I have had my personality
since birth and it defines the way I am and the way other people view me. A person can be
outgoing while others enjoy remaining in seclusion. Using Myers Briggs Profile, Costa &
McCrae Big % Personality Traits, McClelland Needs Analysis, and the Thomas-Kilmann Model
Instrument, I have identified my strengths and the weaknesses that will be helpful on my future
leadership skills. I have also developed an action plan using the SMART processes based on my
perceived weaknesses.
Findings
According to the tests, I found out that I have a slight preference for introversion over
extroversion at 22%. Being an introvert, I am usually very quiet and reserved and it takes me
longer to fully open up to others when I first meet them. I find it refreshing to work alone or in
small groups and this makes me very independent (Altmäe, Türk and Toomet, 2013, pp.48).
Also, the test results revealed that I prefer sensing over intuition (12%). Since I fall under the S
category, usually, I begin with the basic factors before forming the bigger picture. The results
indicated that my strongest preference is being a strong feeler at 38%. Falling under the F
category, I always consider other people before I make my decisions.
Nonetheless, I found out that I am agreeable and thus I would do what it would take me
to please others so that they may proceed with their tasks. I consider this to be among my
strengths because I am capable of surrendering my own will for the primary purpose of
achieving an objective. The test also confirmed that I am less conscientious (Boyce, Wood, and
Powdthavee, 2013, pp.291). This means that I am hardworking, organized, and dependable. I
have noticed that my greatest weakness is that I am emotionally unstable, thus making it difficult
