We talked about how self-concept and self-esteem affect how you communicate. Understanding our personality type, in other words, specific characteristics, traits and attributes of our personality can also teach us in several ways, such as, how we how we perceive the world and make decisions.
Here's you assignment, if you so choose to take it:
Take the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and discuss how your personality affects the way you communicate, then discuss how knowing the attributes of your personality can help you more effectively communicate with others.
These are link to help you research your personality:

I am an ISFJ. Some of my characteristics are finisher, organizer,observant and responsible. I dislike change and am easily offended.I think these attributes effect the way I communicate with others because I have a different outlook on life and other people compared to other types. I tend to protect other people and care for them rather than attack,bring them down, or ignore them. I stand at a different perspective where I am open about my feelings but not to a large group of people. Some may mistake that for being stuck up or distant which could cause many communication issues. Knowing my personality strengths and weaknesses enables me to know where I can help and where I'd do more harm than good.Knowing these things about personality type enables me to understand myself and know which ways work best to communicate with others.

I'm an ENFJ. Being an ENFJ makes me outgoing and comfortable around others. I tend to make decisions based apon feelings more than logic. Because I'm higher on the extraversive side which represents the E in ENFJ this effects my communication with others because I say what is exactly on my mind, which to some can be seen as offensive or as a service. --jonjacob
I am a ESTP and below is a description that seems pretty accurate.
Flexible and tolerant, they take a pragmatic approach focused immediate results. Theories and conceptual explanations bore them they want to act energetically to solve the problem. Focus on the here-and-now, spontaneous, enjoy each moment that they can be active with others. Enjoy material comforts and style. Learn best through doing. I think these qualities give me everyday happiness but at the same time since I usually focus on the here and now I tend not to look ahead at the bigger picture, which has caused a few problems. Communicating with others is usually not a problem as I'm generally open to everything and and genuinely enjoy being around others.

The Myers Briggs type indicactor test said that I was an ESFJ. I believe after reviewing the explaination and breakdown of this personality type that for the most part it is correct. I agree with the analysis that I do "wear my heart on my sleeve"(as much as I try not to). It says that I struggle the hardest with myself in the sense of what is wrong and what is right. This I think is the most on the spot description of who I am. I t is interesting to look at the list of people that I share this type of personality with.

I am an ISTP type. I think that seems accurate, some of my characteristics describe me a person that loves action, and that know instinctively what their activities are. I am a risk taker and very impulsive with my stuff. I tend to communicate through action and be free to do my own things. By observing the world around me I can perceive the way of how things work inspire me. . Also describe me as wonderfully generous and loyal to their friends and teammates. Miguel Lopez
The Myers Briggs indicator test concluded that I am the ISTJ type. After reviewing my results I felt the test was surprisingly accurate. It indiacted that I am a serious, quiet person who sometimes has difficulty expressing emotions. Although this can be true at times, I never have problems communicating and having a fun, social life. I would rather enjoy spending time with close friends than to go out and party.
The test also showed that I am very dependable and hard working. It also showed that I am very task-oriented, and once I put my mind into finishing a project I dont stop until I do.
The indicator test also showed that I am very family-minded and like to follow tradition.
The part of the results that I thought were most accurate was that I have artistic appreciation, consdering drawing is my favorite hobby. All in all, I thought the Myer Briggs Test analyzed my personality well.

I am an ENTP and as such I love the conversation. My mind moves with language to the point where I continually connect ideas and verbalize them. Its sometimes tough for me to talk to other because i do enjoy dialogue and debate. In my younger days I would be called stubborn or obtuse. I've tried hard to correct this but it still sneaks out at times. I also have been accused of having a "tone" and being aloof. Its far from the truth but I think the cerebral part takes hold and I disassociate myself from my emotions. Its very hard to talk to someone who is upset when you can't rationally understand why. But really, what's rational about emotion? I have also been charged with being quick or clever and I definitely admire those who are. I like to take the minute parts of people and explore them thru language. that's a nice why of saying I tease people. M. Kriebel
I am an ENFJ. a few characteristics of my personality type are great interpersonal skills, helper and enabler, able to juggle a number of responsibilities simultaneously, and see the "big picture". ENFJs dont have problems communicating with others at all. actually they are more at risk for neglecting their needs, more so than others. ENFJs are very emotion based. knowing this about myself will help me to take a step back, and look at things more from a matter of fact point of view when talking about something serious with people. this way it cuts out any sort of bias opinions, or spur-of-the-moment decisions.

The test identified me as an ENFP. It is said that ENFP's are rare and only make up about two to three percent of the population. I consider intense emotional experiences essential to life. They are said to be outgoing and the most vivacious.
Consequently, I strive to make deeper connections with the people in my life. I have many acquaintances and really close best friends.
I'm always myself and usually stick to my guns. I'm warm, full of energy, and love to talk.
This is true, however, a lot of the time I won't talk. I tend to have a lot of shy moments and need to feel comfortable with people to really let the "me" in me shine.

I am an ENFJ. As an ENFJ I am very outgoing and like to meet and communicate with a lot of different people. I am also able to juggle many responsibilities. I appreciate people and put their needs before mine. I feel when communicating with people it makes them aware that I am a caring person and will listen to what they have to say. They will know what they are saying is important to me.

I'm an ENFP. It says we are very rare I'd like to think I'm a rare person! Makes me feel even more special. I think they explain me to a T I'm outgoing and loud and spontaneous and always looking for a good time. However I let my feelings and emotions take over me and it fogs my brain and i get of track! I was kind of shocked with all it said on how we like to talk even write I'm definitely not a person to write some essay well but i can write poetry or make up a story or even write a story about my life and people get have become shocked and amazed. I'm definitely one of a kind ;)

Lakeisha Dodson,
I'm an INTJ, I would have to agree with the test.To other people I may come off as arrogant,I'm not at all im just confident when I get the hang of things or learn all obligations that may be needed from me.When it comes to relationships I have very few and I dont trust many.My relationships do last long because I work hard at things I know I can hang on to. I do not need a crowd of people to have a good time. I love my family and thats what matters to me the most.
I am a ESFT

As previously said, I am an ISFJ, but I tend to think that life experiences influence a lot of our personality traits such as those provided by Lakeisha.I have the same thought process when it comes to relationships and a crowd.
-Jeralyn Duncan
I am an ESFJ who is considered to be a (Guardian) Provider. We take it upon ourselves to insure the health and welfare of those in our care. However we are also the most sociable and are considered to be nurturees of social institutions such as schools and churches, while still having a healthy social service as a key of our nature. ESFJs are so friendly, outgoing, and neighborly that when isloated from people, many become restless.

I liked how this quiz broke it down into 4 parts for us. I was a INFJ. I can't explain what this means much because it's my first time evaluating myself so to say. I do believe i am introverted alot of times, however i can talk and empathize with pretty much anyone who i can see or sense needs my help. I also like sharing my experiences to help others but find it hard to express them to the ones that are close sometimes. My judging score was fairly low but i do find myself leaning towards negative comments but I have to stay true to my beliefs and realize i let other people's judgemental behavior affect me sometimes and i think that's why. It's a constant process of change, a personality is; so i think you can only infer so much about your good and bad tendencies until it starts to change again. This isn't good or bad but we are constantly changing and adapting to how other people act and react so it will always be a constant struggle to keep our morals and actions on track. I hope to take more personality and career tests to get to know myself more and to be able to better understand mine and others' reactions.
I'm a intj,i also agree with lakeisha and jerailyn, but i feel i have some traits like kylie
I think the Myers Briggs Type Indicator test is overall surprisingly accurate. After reading through all the other posts it seems that the majority of everyone seems to agree. I saw a few exceptions where a part of the answer didnt match the personality of the person taking the test, but all of the posts agree on at least a part of what the tests says about thier personality. I think we all have different personalities so naturally that will ultimately affect the way we all communicate differently.
As uncomplicated as the questions that were asked to determine what catergory you fell into, the census on its accuracy seemed to be on the spot. Everyone seems to agree with at least a majority of expanations. I know mine was very similiar to who I actually am.
Michelle Arboe
I believe that Mayer Briggs is accrate, I am a isfj I don't judge people and I do feel sorry for some issues people have, but life is hard so we have to play the hand we are dealt. so yes I can agree with the resultes.
