16 personality assignment reflection

After conducting the 16 personality test, I have just realized that I am an ISTP which is a Virtuoso
who consists of introverted, observant, thinking, and prospecting as they critically think and is great
under pressure knowing how to prioritize what’s important and what not, but we are often stubborn
and reserved which could be a problem as it is quite hard to make friends with a virtuoso. I’m trying to
pursue business in post-secondary with 2 primary objectives in mind, one being to be able to help out
my family’s company in Taiwan, once I learn the skills required for the job. The second goal being that in
hopes of starting my own company in the future and become a entrepreneur. My skills and traits do go
somewhat well with the career I’m trying to pursue as there are different aspects of what skills are
necessary for starting an company of doing a certain part within a company. Firstly, traits like ‘optimistic,
energetic, creative, practical, spontaneous, and rational ’ are good traits to have in terms of business
and skills like ‘knowing how to prioritize and great in a crisis’ are excellent skills to go along with traits in
terms of business as business people tend to do/have these on a daily basis. Although there are good
skills and traits to have for business, there are also some traits virtuosos have that are quite difficult to
overcome. Traits such as ‘stubborn, easily bored, dislike commitment and risky behavior’ could result to
a large issue as risky behavior and dislike commitment being one of the most important aspects of
starting a business.

After looking at the results of this test, I have depicted a conclusion to have as whether or not
this test was accurate in how I act and my skills and traits. I have concluded that there is a 80% match as
correct as I feel as if that I can relate to most of these traits and skills as they mostly resonate with mine.
Although I do dislike commitment, as long as it is important enough then I will stick by it no matter what
until I get the result I like, therefore me thinking that this test isn’t exactly correct. There are also some
traits and skills where I believe that could be switched such as I am not significantly great under pressure
as I tend to feel tense when doing things like presenting in front of the class, basically something that
puts me on the spot. I also am not as reserved as I am not as introverted and reserved, since I’m able to
strike up a conversation with smaller groups. The positive traits and skills are Overall, though the traits,
skills, and description mostly match with me so it as fascinating to conduct this test.
