Personality Types
Date of session - 22 Apr 2018
Organization behavior - As a per-requisite, took a psychometric test @ http://www.humanmetrics.com/personality which gave me the four letters ENFP. Spent some 15 min going through what the site has to tell about all that. Routine read. Many of them I liked ;), some of them were not acceptable. Just another read similar to your Zodiac sign year book.
The session started with a question, Whom do you find difficult to work with? Simple question, so I easily found a character and registered as the case study for me. The session took off slowly and turned out to be workshop where I got introduced to different personality types:-
Two take away:-
(a) There is no right or wrong way to behave in life or work, but one can always better appreciate the difference in behavior when you understand the personality type of the individual. It would help communicate the way he/she can comprehend, so that it makes teaming up with people around you a bit easier. For e.g. If I am proposing a new process/plan to a person with 'S', I should drive the conversation/presentation as far as possible using facts and figures that makes logical sense to that individual. The chances of driving my point through with that person becomes higher.
(b) The 'tough to work with employee' I chose for my case study, now appears as a different person for me. She is an analytical person with whom I am trying to move things using intuition. My fault not hers ;).
Thanks

- The energy of Extraversion - Introversion personality through a role play
- The perception of Sensing - Intuition through a video
- The ability to decide through Thinking - Feeling through a role play.
- The way people Judge - Perceive through a picture
