My Personality Type Assessment CMGT/530 IT Organizational Behavior University of Phoenix My Personality Type Assessment To assess my personality type, I chose the personality type assessment located at www.humanmetrics.com. Carl G. Jung theorized that human consciousness is characterized by the individual’s preference to general attitude; extraversion vs. introversion and the mental functions; sensing vs. intuition and thinking vs. feeling (Personality Types Explained, 2007-2013). In addition to Jung’s three dichotomies, “one more preference enters into the identification of type—the choice between the perceptive attitude and the judging attitude” (Meyers & Meyers, 1995, "Chapter 1 - An Orderly Reason for Personality Differences"). The personality type assessment at the “Human Metrics” website is composed of 72 questions with “yes” or “no” answers. The answers are weighted with a percentage of preference to a characteristic in each of the four pairs of dichotomies and assigned a letter that corresponds; Extraverted = E, Introverted = I, Sensing = S, Intuition = N, Thinking = T, Feeling = F, Judging = J, and Perceiving = P. The result is one of 16 possible four letter acronyms representing the individual’s personality type.
