Myers-Brigg

What does Apple computers, AT&T, Citigroup, GM and 3m and Co. Have in common?
Besides being multi- million dollar companies, each of these use the Myers-Brigg Type Indicator when deciding to hire a person, in management. Myers-Brigg is a personality test, in which puts everyone into 16 different categories based on four classifications.
They are:
Extraverted vs. Introverted
Sensing vs. Intuitive
Thinking vs. Feelings
Judging vs. Perceiving

The test is an interesting one and can really show employers what type of candidate you might be for the Job. I found a great test online for free that you can take and I really like the way they explain your results. They are easy to understand and give you examples of people who are of your same subtype. I was an ENTJ. This meant I am Extraverted, iNtuitinve, Thinking and Judging. Only 1.8% of our population is a part of this sub type. This test basically tells me that I am the field Marshal. I am a natural born leader, I am very structured, and I follow procedure and regulations to a “T”. I find this to be very accurate about me. Jobs that would be excellent for me include: education, business management, finance, politics and computer programming. What I find amusing is that I have taken different test, and all of them have said I would do great in computer programming. I just have no interest in it.
People who are in my Subtype include, Bill Gates, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard M. Nixon, Margaret Thatcher, Al Gore, Lamar Alexander (former governor, US Secretary of Education), and My favorite Napoleon Bonaparte.
With a list of people like that, that must mean I a guaranteed for success right? Unfortunately that isn’t the case. It is how a person goes about achieving goals and if they find a job that is best suited for them. Success is never guaranteed, I believe it is something that is earned.
