Introduction
The MBTI test categorizes people into sixteen types of personalities depending on
their most prominent qualities (Bal & Jansen, 2016). Through my weekly test I determined by
personality to be INFP (Introversion, Intuition, Feeling and perceiving) or a mediator. My
other tests too, informed me about my conflict and persuasion style along with my
interpersonal competencies. Depending on them, I have developed a user manual that informs
the best strategies to ensure best performance from me. This is a justification for those chosen
strategies and the impact that they will have on me depending on my personality types and
other skills.
Discussion
Specific aspects of my personality and approaches to work
The week one test of communication skills inventory analysis informed me that I lack
quite a bit in interpersonal communication. Specifically, my strength that I found through the
test was my active listening power, I lag behind in expressing myself, understanding the
emotional aspects of communication and might need more flexibility in feedback process. In
the week 2 persuasion skill indicates that I am highly effective in persuasion techniques with
some room for improvement. My strengths in this test was authority, and areas of
improvement were social proof and scarcity while liking, reciprocity and consistency were
my weaknesses.
The week 3 tested my conflict management style, which shows that compromising
conflict style and avoiding conflict style are my strengths while competing, collaborating and
accommodating are my weaknesses, thus making me a balanced and diplomatic person. The

week 4 MBTI personality test informs me that I am an INFP personality who is also known
as the mediator. Thus, I am an idealist and positivist person. I appear calm, reserved and shy
which informs why I might have scored low on my interpersonal skills. I am more guided by
principles and honor and intent rather reward and punishments. The INFPs are also
diplomatic and harmonious thus, supporting my conflict and persuasion style.
Specific strategies a manager could employ to maximize my performance
Depending on the results of the four tests, these are the strategies that a manager can
adopt to maximize my performance:
 Provide flexibility and democratic work culture to ensure that I get room to breathe.
 Giving me chance to voice my opinion and taking them into consideration for
decision making.
 Provide tasks with increasing difficulty to season me into the workload.
 Let me work through my own pace and principles.
 Provide motivation and give inspirational work.
 Providing me with direction and meaning of the task at hand.
 Providing me a balanced workload for a better work-life balance.
 Train me to handle data and facts better
 Providing me opportunities to apply my persuasion and conflict style depending upon
situations, as and when my approach would seem best.
 More teamwork to improve my interpersonal skills.
Justification
The main strategies that have been identified in the user manual is flexibility and
democracy. Flexibility and adaptability in a workplace and in managers are necessary for
most people nowadays, not only specific personality types. Most of the people enjoy working
