My experience with the Myers-Briggs Tool was really interesting. When first being handed the packet, it looked more like a standardized test than a Leadership tool. However, this tool, even though it was rather tedious to fill out, has certainly impacted the way in which I look at myself as a leader.
The thing that surprised me most about my results was how it said that I was an introvert. I always thought of my self as being super sociable, and outgoing, but when truly thinking about, and discovering that an introvert follows a strict schedule/routine, I finally figured it out. Also, while thinking and digging deeper, I did think about how sometimes I do tend to go into a shell at times, and kind of separate myself from my peers. Generally, this only occurs when I need to think about stuff.
This tool helped me to be a better leader in the future because I now feel like I want to be more of an extrovert. I want to work to be more sociable, and communicate with others, which is something I sometimes fail to do. As it is constantly mentioned in class, it is known that communication is a key to being a successful leader.
