etc

Yes.

Integrate personality testing and personality type education into your office’s talent management strategy.

Go straight to the source and ask your employees to take one of the many free online personality-type assessments on the market. Choose a reliable personality type assessment, email them a link to the test, and ask them to print out the results for a professional development session on how personality affects the workplace dynamic. They’ll learn more about themselves, and you’ll be able to find out what motivates the people that drive your business.

 Recognize six main personality dimensions in the employees around your office:

1.Judging: The Judges in your office are ambitious, determined, organized, and decisive. They are typically the employees whose work spaces are covered in to-do lists, work schedules, and reminders of deadlines.

2.Perceiving: The counterpart of the Judges, Perceive-rs are typically the more open-minded, adaptable, spontaneous, and changeable employees in your office. Perceive-rs are adaptable and tend to respond well to unpredictable situations.

3. extroversion:  Lively, energetic, quick-witted, and clever, Extroverts are always looking for ways to interact with their co-workers. In the office, Extroverts are the employees who thrive working on teams and brainstorming with others.

4.Introversion: Where Extroverts are outgoing and excited, Introverts are thoughtful, reserved, and focused. They’re often recognized as the “loners” in the office because they thrive when working independently.

5.Thinking: Thinkers are the analytical, objective, rational, and tough-minded employees that love to get into the nitty-gritty details. You’ll typically see these employees focusing on learning as much as they can about a particular topic and constantly looking for ways to add to their knowledge base.

6.Feeling: In stark contrast to the Thinkers in your office stand the Feelers. These employees are the passionate, empathetic, warm, and supportive employees who are looking for ways to impact others lives through their work. Feelers are distinguished by their ability to dig into a project or proposal and offer views based on different motivations, not just the facts.
