Psychological scholars havebeen trying to quantify attributes of behaviours for decades and have come up with multiple toolsto help measure all aspects of personalities. “Modern personality psychology recognizes personsas complex, multifaceted entities whose understanding requires a whole collection of methods.The field today possesses rich theories and an impressive collection of research methods”(Blutner, & Hochnadel, 2010, p.243).

MBTI separates itself from other personality assessment devices as it purports tomeasure types rather than traits of variables and it is used to explain personality characteristics toindividuals themselves and not to professionals (McCrae, & Costa, 1989).

Using theJung Typology Test,I was able toassess myself as a ENTJ (extrovert, intuitive, thinking and judging), also known asTheCommander,and upon reading a definition, I could see many of the traits in my day to dayactivities.Often focused on external forces, searching for meaning, analyzing and trying to controlsituations is a perfect description of who I am. “ENTJs are strategic leaders, motivated to
