We actually took them as a team and shared them with each other. I think it can help teams work better together, spouses communicate better. Overall being aware of the key relationships in your life and what makes them tick can improve communication and understanding.

Personality tests should be used as a gauge. It can change and the biggest thing is you are not meant to fit inside of a box in my opinion. I currently am a ENJT but that doesn’t mean I operate that way all the time on all decisions I operate differently in my personal life as I do in my business life and I had a hard time answering some of the questions, because I felt torn. Just be aware that its still ok to make choices outside of the box.

Being aware of your weaknesses and “blind spots” can be helpful. I always say “know your strengths”, but it is equally important to know your weaknesses! Here is what the test gave me for my weaknesses (see below) and I believe it is spot on!
By being aware of your blind spots, you can make sure you pay attention to these attributes so you are not harming others. -
These tests are not designed to measure how successful you will be. That is determined by your grit–what you are willing to do or not do to get the job done and not quit on yourself. I don’t care what box you fit into if you don’t have that drive, “success” on your goal will be hard to find!

Tendencies not truth. When answering some of the questions hesitated. Because when I think about it from a business perspective I would think one way but personally I might be another way. So it is also important to keep in mind that overall this is great information to anticipate how you will likely make decisions, but it is also important to keep in mind it is not always the truth. And if you are doing this as an employer and here is the bigger problem–It could be faked.

How they focus their attention or get their energy (extraversion/introversion)
-
How they perceive or take in information (sensing/intuition)
-
How they prefer to make decisions (thinking/feeling)
-
How they orient themselves to the external world (judgment/perception)

E – Extraversion preferred to introversion: ENTJs often feel motivated by their interaction with people. They tend to enjoy a wide circle of acquaintances, and they gain energy in social situations (whereas introverts expend energy).[7]
-
N – Intuition preferred to sensing: ENTJs tend to be more abstract than concrete. They focus their attention on the big picture rather than the details, and on future possibilities rather than immediate realities.[8] They tend to focus on the final product rather than the current task.
-
T – Thinking preferred to feeling: ENTJs tend to value objective criteria above personal preference. When making decisions, they generally give more weight to logic than to social considerations.[9]
-
J – Judgment preferred to perception: ENTJs tend to plan their activities and make decisions early. They derive a sense of control through predictability, which to perceptive types may seem limiting.[10] ENTJs often try to predict outcomes and plan accordingly.

Well, if there was an MBTI type to associate with the word “start”, I’d have to say it would be ENTJ. 🙂 Signed, an INTJ (ENTJ’s homebody twin)
