Start with identifying your personal traits. 2.1 Who Am I? Personal traits Fill in the list of personality/character traits below. You can choose between - -, -, +/-, + and ++, according to your own best judgement. Also, make copies of this list before you fill it in and ask others to fill it in as well, about you. How they judge your personal traits. Compare the lists and talk about it. This can be very useful and fun! Traits -- - ± + ++ Adaptable to working with others Precise Analytical Motivating Adventurous Helpful Reliable Broadly interested Creative Perseverant Enthusiastic Flexible Patient Idealistic Capable of improvising Able to take initiative Empathetic Critical Quality-conscious Thorough Enterprising Convincing Realistic Communicative Resistant to stress Cooperative Responsible Independent Self-assured Traits -- - ± + ++ Chaotic Dominant Thoughtful Shy Social Active Dependent Introvert Impulsive Quiet Professional Cheerful Serious Sportive Open Ambitious Cautious Consequent Keen on details Diplomatic Goal oriented Honest Extravert Perfectionist Coordinating Stubborn Imaginative Sensitive Individualistic Initiator Critical Curious Subservient Negotiator Impatient Insecure Passive Positive Careful Caring Other 4 5

4 2.2 Who am I? Myers-Briggs Type Indicator 4. How do you prefer to organise your life? The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) can help you to verify your personality type. The results from the MBTI assessment can help you identify job families and occupations that are a good fit for your reported MBTI type. If you prefer your life to be planned, stable and organised then your preference is for Judging (not to be confused with Judgemental, which is quite different). This is denoted by the letter J. Preference Myers Briggs is a model of personality that identifies your personality preferences. This is analogous to handedness. You have two hands. You use them both. But most people are either right handed or left handed. That is, they have a natural inclination or preference for one hand. The Myers Briggs model is based on four preferences (E or I, S or N, T or F and J or P) and you combine the preferences to give your personality type, eg: having preferences for E and S and T and J gives a personality type of ESTJ. There are sixteen such personality types (listed in the table, right of page). In a similar way, you have many facets to your Myers Briggs personality. You use all of them. However, you have a natural inclination or preference for certain ways of thinking and behaving. Myers Briggs Personality Type is based on 4 preferences. 1. Where, primarily, do you prefer to direct your energy? If you prefer to direct your energy to deal with people, things, situations, or the outer world, then your preference is for Extraversion. This is denoted by the letter E. If you prefer to direct your energy to deal with ideas, information, explanations or beliefs, or the inner world, then your preference is for Introversion. This is denoted by the letter I. 2. How do you prefer to process information? If you prefer to deal with facts, what you know, to have clarity, or to describe what you see, then your preference is for Sensing. This is denoted by the letter S. If you prefer to deal with ideas, look into the unknown, to generate new possibilities or to anticipate what isn t obvious, then your preference is for Intuition. This is denoted by the letter N (the letter I has already been used for Introversion). If you prefer to go with the flow, to maintain flexibility and respond to things as they arise, then your preference is for Perception. This is denoted by the letter P. 16 Types When you put these four letters together, you get your personality type code, and there are sixteen combinations, often presented in the form of a table (right). For example, INTJ indicates that you prefer Introversion, intuition, Thinking and Judging (remember, this indicates preferences only - an INTJ also uses Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling and Perception). ISTJ Introverted Sensing with auxiliary extraverted Thinking ISFJ Introverted Sensing with auxiliary extraverted Feeling INFJ Introverted intuition with auxiliary extraverted Feeling INTJ Introverted intuition with auxiliary extraverted Thinking ISTP Introverted Thinking with auxiliary extraverted Sensing ISFP Introverted Feeling with auxiliary extraverted Sensing INFP Introverted Feeling with auxiliary extraverted intuition INTP Introverted Thinking with auxiliary extraverted intuition ESTP Extraverted Sensing with auxiliary introverted Thinking ESFP Extraverted Sensing with auxiliary introverted Feeling ENFP Extraverted intuition with auxiliary introverted Feeling ENTP Extraverted intuition with auxiliary introverted Thinking ESTJ Extraverted Thinking with auxiliary introverted Sensing ESFJ Extraverted Feeling with auxiliary introverted Sensing ENFJ Extraverted Feeling with auxiliary introverted intuition ENTJ Extraverted Thinking with auxiliary introverted intuition 3. How do you prefer to make decisions? ISTJ If you prefer to decide on the basis of objective logic, using an analytic and detached approach, then your preference is for Thinking. This is denoted by the letter T. ISTJs direct their energy towards the inner world of ideas and information. They try to clarify concepts and information, seeking to have as clear a knowledge as possible. They often place a lot of trust in experience, but also envisage future goals providing there is a clear pathway to that goal. If you prefer to decide using values and/or personal beliefs, on the basis of what you believe is important or what you or others care about, then your preference is for Feeling. This is denoted by the letter F.

MBTI on the internet Maybe you can figure out what type you are by reading these descriptions. But you can also do the MBTI-assessment on several websites, see for instance: Which skill do I possess? Skills Profile Skills Profile The aim of this exercise is to get you to think of the skills and knowledge you have acquired during your time at university both inside and outside the lecture theatre as well as from any other life experiences, such as a previous occupation of bringing up a family. Often, students leave university believing that they have acquired no skills that will be relevant to future development. A typical statement from a recent graduate is Well, I ve learned how to write essays but that s no good when you start working! However, a degree course provides students with much more than the ability to write essays it provides you with a repertoire of Personal Transferable Skills. But what exactly are transferable skills? Transferable skills are developed in many ways. They can also be used in a variety of situations, across the whole spectrum of employment. They can include skills such as the ability to communicate, to work in a team and to organise other people. There are many other skills, which can be transferred from one situation to another. People with good transferable skills are in demand. In order to make an effective application, it will be necessary to know which of these skills you possess, so that you can sell yourself to prospective employers. The following exercise provides you with the chance to identify some of your skills by thinking of situations where you may have acquired them and put them into practice. There is no definitive list, but the category can include: Intellectual initiative Critical reflection The ability to gather, organise and deploy evidence, data, and information The ability to identify and solve problems Analytical and evaluative thinking The ability to engage in lateral thinking, openness to creative thinking The ability to present material orally in a clear and effective way The ability to present written material clearly and appropriately Self direction Self discipline Management of time and resources Working creatively, flexibly and adaptably with others Formulating and meeting team objectives Interacting successfully on a one to one basis Bibliographic skills Observations skills Practical skills Skills that could be developed by all students: Intellectual Skills (e.g. critical, analytical, synthesising and problem solving skills) Communication skills (written and oral) Organisational Skills (e.g. working independently, taking initiative, time management) Interpersonal Skills (e.g. working with or motivating others, flexibility/adaptability) 10 11

7 Skills which are essential for and specifically developed by certain courses, but which remain desirable for all students, and available to them through various routes: Research Skills Numeracy (e.g. statistical skills, data handling) Computer Literacy Foreign Language Skills Skills Profile Exercise The following table provides a list of 21 transferable skills that you may have acquired during your time at university (academic or extra-curricular), while working, or through other experience. For each of the skills in the table, give yourself a score, ranging from 1 (low) to 5 (high), indicating what your level of competence is for that skill. Look at 5 of the skills that are your strongest. Try to think of an occasion when you have acquired that skill, or put it into practice. Don t limit yourself to course work try to think of other activities and interests e.g. being involved in the running of a society or travelling abroad. If you can think of any other skills, add them to the table, using the blank boxes.
