The Myers Briggs Type Indicator was analzed on Thrusday. It was a long day, but interesting none the less. The indicator was pretty much on with my own understanding, so I wasn't too surprised by the results.
As a ENTJ, I am "Life's Natural Leaders", and seen as Visionary, Gregarious Argumentative, Systems Planners, Take Charge, and Low Tolerance for Incompetency. It is the 'Most Commanding.'
Here is a snipet from my assessment:
Hearty, argumentative, and robust are three words that accurately describe ENTJ's. their unique preferences combine to give them a very high need for control and unusual leadership abilities.
Their focus and energy are directed outwardly (extraversion) toward a world of endless possibilities and meanings (intuition), which are translated objectively into systems and products (thinking) in a very timely and orderly fashion (judging).
I got about a 10 page printout explaining my type, and its relation to the workplace and stress. Again, nothing was really a surprise.
As for Friday, we did the Emotional Intelligence Quotient. I have to admit that I was bored - all day. It really didn't give me new information, and was basically a snapshot of my life when I did the assessment, which was a few weeks ago. Lots has change since then - I left my job and started a new, exciting adventure. Many of the questions and results that were negative on the EQ were related to my work - which isn't a problem anymore. All in all, the day wasn't all that enjoyable for me.
For myself, as well as many of the other students, we were done!! The week was long, and we had definitely absorbed a lot of information - too much perhaps. I am pretty much ready to get rolling with the program, and have been since about day 2 of orientation. We only have one more day left - Tuesday. We have a communications workshop, and a banquet to end off the tiring week.
I am looking forward to the exciting opportunities this program will bring forth, as well as the time and effort I will need to put into it too succeed. It is gonna be a great year!

Carl,
You have endeared me to you completely with that comment.
neuba,
I've always wanted to take the Myers Briggs test because I've heard so much about it. There are a few unofficial versions online, but it would be really interested to take the legitimate one. Was it a difficult test to take? Lots of questions?
Rilla,
Actually it was quite easy to take. Only about 20 minutes or so.
There are 3 different sections, and they each ask you a variety of descriptive words and you have to choose the most fitting.
I got a really cool interpretive book that explains all the different scales and their extremes if you want to take a look at it.
I found that if you know yourself fairly well, it is easy to ballpark where you would fall on each scale.
And when Neuba says it only took her 20 minutes, that's because she's familiar with these types of tests.
When I took the test, it took me approximately 45 minutes and I was really, really frustrated by the end of it.
Hey Marce,
I did that test a few years ago with my old company... I was an ESTP. I wonder if things have changed since then??
