Every
person is an individual but there seem to be personality traits that are
similar in nature. These traits can be used to identify different psychological
types of human consciousness and the attitudes and preferences those
personality types share. Ricardo Warfield is a business professional but also a
Certified Myers Briggs Personality Type practitioner. As such, he understands
the variances of personality types by their four letter combinations.
Personality
Types are first broken down into general attitude. The two types are:
·
(E) Extroverts
·
(I) Introverts
According to Ricardo
Warfield, "Many introverts are stereotyped as being shy but this is not
necessarily true. Introverts are people who put a lot of focus in thought and
ideas. They may also enjoy a lot of time at home or alone." By extension,
an extrovert is someone who is concerned with external matters and, "They
are typically viewed as outgoing while enjoying a highly social environment,"
explains Ricardo
Warfield.
There
are then four breakdowns of a person's mental functions. These are how a person
interprets information. As taught by the Myers Briggs theory, that Ricardo
Warfield is certified in, these are:
·
(S) Sensing
·
(N) Intuition
After
the way a person interprets information is the process by which people make
decision. "Some people may take time to think their choices through using
logic or base their decision on a person or situation," he further explains.
For determining personality types, this breaks decision making into:
·
(T) Thinking
·
(F) Feeling
Finally,
personality types finish with what the Myers Briggs personality type calls
"structure." According to Ricardo, this means if people make a firm
decision or stay open to new information. The final breakdown in personality is
defined as either:
·
(P) Perceiving
·
(J) Judging
Important
to Ricardo Warfield and others that look at the different personality types is
understanding that each personality type has value. Some people may prefer
personality types over others but each have value. According to Ricardo
Warfield, the different categories are combined to make the 16 different
recognizable personality types.
According
to Ricardo Warfield, there are
plenty of benefits to understanding your personality type. For some people,
finding out your personality can help determine which fields or industries
would be best to pursue as a career. According to him, once a person recognizes
the strengths of their personality they can use it as a tool to determine a
career path and point to strengths in the hiring process.
