- My personality type in Myers-Briggs personality test is ESFJ which says I am a friendly, outgoing, reliable, conscientious, organized, practical personal. Seeking to be helpful and please others, enjoy being active and productive.

This actually makes me interested in the result from each test.

It lets me know when I get mad on something or feel sad on something I should know to control my emotion a little bit. Be emotional is negative to a person who work in management field. People in management field should know how to communicate with others and how to encourage workers better.
Based on these two personality tests, I think the topic is relating to how a person’s personality will influence their behaviors. Also, the topic may relates to the specific position in the organization demand specific personality of the person.
