them efficient in workforce. The ENTJ group enjoys creating long term plans and work on that
so that the envisioned goals could be achieved. My energy style, mentioned in the test is
energetic, quick witted, cleverness and lively that makes my energy level extraversion (83%) and
describes the way I manage my energy. I express myself readily and easily communicate with
new people around me. I enjoy busy environment and activity energize me to interact with others
in the society. On the other hand, between sensing and intuitions, it was observed that I am more

While working in any organization, the personality traits are an important aspect,
depending on which personal development occurs. While working in organizations, it is
important to communicate with others and sometimes with unknown people. Hence, it is
important to have an effective communication skill and my extrovert trait helped me to
communicate comfortably to unknown people and understand their concerns, which is the most
important aspect for human relations. Besides that, my thinker trait made me more driven and
enhanced my ability to envision new ideas, so that using them I could enhance my personal and
professional skills. It was also mentioned by Freedy and Hobfoll (2017), that to implement
effective change within organization, envisioning dream and making efforts to make them true is
the most important aspect. Further, my intuition trait was one of my strength which helped me to
perceive to people and their personal situations and provided me the ability to feel their concern
and then judging their abilities and disabilities. Hence, these traits of my personality helped me
in my career.
