Taking the MBTI personality test is a very good idea because somehow it brings out important insights on one’s thinking process, proclivities, strengths and what one is planning as he or she tries to complete or wrap up a project. It is key to learn about your MBTI test type and that of your colleagues because it results to all of you developing an efficient and equitable working environment. I tend to believe that it can help one to be knowledgeable or rather selective on the kind of projects you opt to carry out and the mode of operation for the chosen projects. After taking the test, I got to learn that I got an Extraverted-Intuitive-Feeling-Perceiving (ENFP) personality type ( Furnham, 2017).
ENFPs are the“creative optimists’’ because we do focus on positive thinking and the shared talents in order for us to deliver unique and quality services or products. As much as we are goal- oriented meaning we rarely lose focus, sometimes we do underestimate the time or resources needed to complete a project because we do account for many individuals. However we still manage to remain strong and maintain a positive working environment by ensuring there is a good communication network, acknowledging everyone’s contribution and keeping team spirit. We do provide required feedback in a friendly manner whenever necessary. This way, no one gets offended or take the feedback personally ( Cohen & Keren, 2013).
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
Generally, for us with the ENFP personality type, I believe we are always positive and strong project managers. Despite of all these positive personalities, ENFP will still need some extra support so that they can keep their colleagues on track by learning their shortcomings. When all these factors are incorporated, it creates a good image to the stakeholders of the project and any other individual who matters for its success ( Gavrilescu, 2015).
