My relationship with personality tests in the past had been similar to how we took quizzes in Seventeen as teenagers - results were interesting, but I approached them as pretty much worthless.
My entire professional career before taking the Myers Briggs assessment, I was self-aware of a few things: I enjoyed conferences for the lectures, but my stomach fell when it came time to make small talk or do small group exercises. I was firm in my beliefs and would argue my point relentlessly. If I didn’t understand or believe in the premise behind a policy or procedure, well, I made it known. Finally, I didn’t take criticism well. Constructive feedback I could deal with, but I was often convinced I was always right and being blamed for anything, especially when I felt blameless, made me furious.
