1) Describe the four basic personality styles of the MBTI.
2) Discuss your specific personality type, including all four dimensions, i.e. ENFP. Give SPECIFIC examples of how this assessment does or does not apply to you and your management style. This analysis needs to include how this style affects your communication on the job.
3) Identify a current co-worker’s MBTI style giving several examples of how he communicates and how he behave. Look at the material on the specific styles and be sure you to document that material.
4) How might you have a conflict with this co-worker? What can you do to resolve that conflict positively and what could you do that would resolve the conflict ineffectively?
Write the questions out completely and then answer them one at a time. You must first demonstrate that you understand this theory, and then apply it. This paper should be a minimum of 7 to 10 pages. It may be longer. Do not quote directly from the text, but put this material in your own words being sure to document. Use the APA format to document the websites. Please consult the writing guidelines for the course.
