Taking On Additional Responsibilities (Case Study Analysis) Using the Meyers-Briggs Instrument

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
is learned that Jim is skillful in choosing capable workers, but that he takes advantage of those who have good skills and allows the underachievers some latitude (Northouse, 2004). However,  this is perceived by the slower workers as a sense that Jim does not respect them. In evaluating this situation, it is sometimes helpful to use personality profiling with the  use of MBTI. The Myers-Briggs instrument is a technique for identifying sixteen distinct personality types which are based on four particular scales ("Myers-Briggs," 2005). While the instrument is  not supposed to be utilized in order to create " personality profiles" many succumb to the temptation and it is now used as a form of entertainment ("Myers-Briggs," 2005).  That said, it is a suitable instrument to be utilized in a work environment. It may help to explain behavior and may even provide resources for embarking on solutions for  difficulties. The four scales used in the analysis are extraversion versus introversion, sensate versus intuitive, thinking versus feeling and judging versus perceiving ("Myers-Briggs," 2005). When the judgment is  made for each scale-choosing one type or another-one is left with one of four types. For instance, one would be left with an acronym of INTJ if they are introverted,  intuitive, thoughtful but judgmental ("Myers-Briggs," 2005). In utilizing the case study, there are several named individuals that may be evaluated. In the case study, Shirley and Patti are very  knowledgeable about the work (Northouse, 2004). They appear challenged when they take on additional responsibilities (Northouse, 2004). They need little supervision (Northouse, 2004). In the case study, both Shirley and  Patti are lumped into the same description. Based on the description, it appears that they are both introverted, sensate, thinking and perceiving or ISTP. ISTPs tend to be good performers
