personality types. (5 marks)

Why do companies use it? Hint: recruiting & selection, developing leaders, etc. (Google – cite &
reference)

you scored: ENTJ you would known as “The Commander” (1 mark)

across the 4 dichotomies of the MBTI & be properly cited and reference using APA
format. (5 marks)

Cherry article but DO NOT copy & paste, use your own words (paraphrase) and cite & reference

Use first person (“I”) – you’re talking about your own results!

Agree/disagree statements for your results. Be sure to include one for each of the 4
dichotomies explaining with examples why you either agree or disagree with that
section of the MBTI. (8 marks)

times like at a party where I don’t know anyone that I prefer to stand against the wall and listen instead
of talking.
