Personality/Communication Style Assessment
This is a “quick'' test that is effective at pinpointing the four personality/communication styles. It has four parts, only takes a couple of minutes to complete, and is self-scoring. The four parts are:
Favorite world: Do you get your energy more from being with people a lot or from more quiet, private down time? This is called Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I).
Information: Do you prefer to focus on the facts and basic information you take in or do you prefer to interpret, look at new possibilities, and add meaning? This is called Sensing (S) or Intuition (N).
Decisions: When making decisions, do you prefer to first look at logic and consistency or first look at the effect on people and special circumstances? This is called Thinking (T) or Feeling (F).
Structure: Do you prefer that your life is planned, stable, and organized or do you prefer to go with the flow and stay open to new information and options? This is called Judging (J) or Perceiving (P).
Which sentence in each of the following paragraphs sounds most like you? Put the letter from the one that does sound most like you from each pair in the spaces at the bottom of this page.
I am quiet, reserved and sometimes a little hard to know even though I do have a social side. I need more peace and privacy than most people in order to recharge my energy. ( I am an INTROVERT = I )
OR
I am talkative, open and relatively easy to read. I need interactions with people every day to keep my “personal energy'' charged up. ( I am an EXTRAVERT = E)
I am practical and realistic. I am most comfortable dealing in the here-and-now, the real world. I like to thinkIkeepbothfeetonthegroundinmydailylife.(IamaSENSOR= S)
OR
I am imaginative, creative and idealistic. I don't think of myself as having my head ``in the clouds,'' but I am always looking toward future possibilities, asking myself what things mean on a larger scale. ( I am an INTUITIVE = N )
I am logical and I almost always make decisions on a rational, impersonal basis or, at least, I like to think I do.Reasonrunsmylife.(IamaTHINKER =T)
OR
I am sensitive, and I believe it's important to consider the personal element, as well as the logical, in everything I say and do. I try to be sympathetic and under standing with others. ( I am a FEELER = F )
I like to be organized in whatever I do. I like to get to the bottom line, make decisions, know where I'm going, and know where I stand, rather than wandering around aimlessly. I am uncomfortable with wishy- washy people who can't make up their minds. ( I am a JUDGING-TYPE = J )
OR
I am flexible, and I can always see the other person's viewpoint in a controversy. I am more comfortable observing, listening, taking in information, than I am making decisions and judgments. I am uncomfortable when I have to deal with dogmatic or closed-minded people. ( I am a PERCEPTIVE-TYPE = P )
