The Point of Personality  Understanding personality type and making it work for you PERSONALITY...... Does it make a difference?We are all born with different personalities. Much of the way in which our personalities develop in adult life is shaped by experience. However the underlying premise behind the Myers Briggs assessment tool is that we are all born with innate preferences. It is these preferences that define why we behave in the way that we do. How can Myers Briggs Type Indicator® help in the Workplace?Often just understanding the eight different preferences which make up personality, is greatly enlightening to people. In particular it can help you in the following ways: Promotes your own understanding of why you enjoy certain things and not others; why you behave in certain ways which may be quite different to those close to you e.g. your partner or work colleagues. Promotes your own understanding of how others can behave or respond significantly different to you and still be quite normal. Teaches people to value differences in the workplace, and embrace what each different personality type has to offer. Our differences make our world an interesting place!
