MBTI

I just talked to my dad the other day and he told me that he just took the MBTI with everyone he works with and it got me thinking about it again. It was interesting to hear what he got out of it because he was looking at it from the business side while we looked at it in a classroom setting. I remembered how we talked about in class that it is important to have people from both types because they will see things that the opposing type wouldn’t. I told him about this and he told me that even though many of the people he worked with were similar there was at least one person in each type. He told me that I was the same type, ESTP, as their CFO which I thought was interesting because that is something that I would like to be. Both my Dad and I are extraverts and thinkers which I think are two very important things to be. Even though everyone said that there are good things about each type for what I want to do I think that being an extravert and thinker are the most valuable. I think this because to be in sometime of management like I want to be it is extremely important to be able to work with people, which is much easier being an extravert. Being a thinker is also good because you don’t want to let your emotions get in the way of what is best for the company or you will not be as successful as you could be. In the end I am very happy with my MBTI score and I thought that it was interesting and helpful talking to my Dad about it.
