Myers-Briggs Outcome

The past few classes in our Parish Episcopal leadership class, the class has been working with the Myers-Briggs tool, which helps us find out who we really are. My personality ended up being an ESFP out of the 16 possible outcomes, which according to the test means I am outgoing, friendly, and accepting. Also, I enjoy working with others to make things happen, I bring common sense and a realistic approach to work, and lastly I make work fun. I think the most surprising result of this test for me was definitely the part about how I was outgoing. Even though I don't think in myself in that light, I did realize that I do always end up getting to know new people whenever I am in a social gathering where I might not know everyone. The one thing I already did know about myself that was confirmed by this test was about how I try my best to make work fun. Even though fun sometimes just can't be a part of work, I always try to include it to help me finish the project at hand. I think this test will help me in my pursuit to become a leader because the test shows what might hold ESFP's back while trying to communicate or do work. Hopefully, I can review all of these options in the pamphlet, realize what my flaws are, and make the changes necessary for me to be a good leader in the future.
