Question 1 The four dimensions of Myers-Briggs type indicator?

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of today's most widely used personality assessment tools. Used properly, it can provide system administrators a framework for understanding themselves, their co-workers, and the user community. There are 16 personality types in the Myers-Briggs classification. Types are not right or wrong: they are simply different from one another. Type theory provides a nonjudgmental way to describe and discuss differences. Once there is a language to describe differences, more effective communication can result. As will be discussed later in this paper, the MBTI is not meant to be a panacea. We do not believe that the MBTI alone can explain all personality preferences, differences, strengths, and conflicts. We do believe that it is an easily learned tool that can help provide a greater understanding of the human dimension. The MBTI, based on the theories of psychologist Carl Jung, measures an individuals personality preferences over four dimensions, and is often used by psychologists in career counseling and group dynamics analysis. The four dimensions are outlined as follows. i. Extraversion/introversion Hes Extravert /Introvert preference indicates how he gathers energy. Extraverts find himself energized by people and activities in the world external to himself. Conversely, Introverts gather energy from his own internal world of thoughts, ideas, and viewpoints.

ii.

Sensing/intuition In sensor, he notices and attend to details. He respond best to facts, actualities and react to exactly what was said rather than implication. On the other hand, intuitors are big picture people. He notice patterns, like to make sense of complexity and read between the lines.

iii.

Thinking/feeling The thinking/feeling characteristics describes information individuals use in decisionmaking. He uses logic to reach decisions, while his feeler considers values, beliefs, and how actions affect other people when he making decisions. His thinker tends to be objective, whereas his feeler is more likely to have a subjective bias.

iv.

Judging/perceiving His judging/perceiving dimensions describe how people organize their lives. He manage his time by defining schedules and using to-do lists. Being on time is important to him, and he prefer to make decisions quickly in order to achieve closure. In perceiver, he prefers spontaneity, likes to leave their options open, and tends to be less affected when faced with unexpected events.

The labels used to describe the Myers-Briggs personality dimensions differ from their traditional meanings in the English language. For example, an MBTI Extravert is not necessarily talkative, an MBTI Feeler is not necessarily emotional, and an MBTI Judger is not necessarily judgmental. When using the MBTI as an instrument for developing technology, it is important to understand the characteristics measured by each dimension so the tool can be applied effectively.

Question 3 The personality attributes of locus control, Machiavellianism, self-esteem, self-monitoring, type A vs type B, risk taking and proactive personality? I. Locus of control Locus of control is the degree to which people believe that they are masters of their own fate. His perception of the source of his fate is termed locus of control. Locus of control is an indicator of core self-evaluation because he who think that he lack control over their lives tend to lack condence in himself.

Internals - he believe that he control what happens to him .Sometimes he believe that he is masters of his own fate. If you are like them and believe that you control your own destiny, then you have what is called an internal locus of control. Externals he believe that what happens to him is controlled by outside forces such as luck or chance. Some people believe that what hap-pens to him is due to luck or chance. For them and you who believe that others control your life, then you have an external locus of control.

II.

Machiavellianism The level of which he is pragmatic, maintains emotional distance, and believes that the end can justify the means. He manipulate more, win more, are persuaded less, and persuad others more than do low Machs. High Mach outcomes are moderated by situational factors. For instance, high Machs ourish (i) (ii) when they interact face to face with others rather than indirectly; when the situation has a minimum number of rules and regulations, thus allowing room for improvisation; and (iii) when emotional involvement with details irrelevant to winning distracts low Machs.

 High Machs will be productive in jobs that require bargaining skills or that offer substantial rewards for winning.

III.

Self-monitoing It refers to his ability to adjust his behaviour to external situational factors. His high in self-monitoring show considerable adaptability in adjusting his behaviour to external situational factors. He is highly sensitive to external cues and can behave differently in different situations. His high self-monitors are capable of presenting distinct contra-dictions between his public persona and his private self.

IV.

Risk taking risk taking is reected in how he make decision, whether he are very calculative in terms of identifying all the risks involved, or decide on incomplete information and going with his hunch or gut-feeling. Our propensity to take risk may affect the type of occupation we choose and excel in. If you are comfortable in taking risks, you may do well in jobs that require you to take calculated risks such as mutual fund managers, venture capitalists, etc. If you prefer to avoid risk, then jobs that are based on standard operating procedures may be better suited for your personality. Some people are very risk aversive, meaning they avoid risk at all cost whereas some thrive on risky situation.
