“Who am I?” Jung’s Typology Self-Assessment

“Everyone and everything that shows up in our life is a reflection of something that is happening inside of us.” – Alan Cohen

As you start your course, it is critical to recognize that self-reflection is a critical component of a successful career. Developing an awareness of your strengths, limitations, and personality traits will help at every stage of career development. When you are mindful of who you are, you are better able to market yourself to future employers and will be better equipped to achieve your career goals.

Your first self assessment is called the Jung Typology Test. This test is based off of Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myer’s typological approach to personality. This is a free assessment. You will use your results as part of your self assessment assignment this week.

  • Go to http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp
  • Carefully read the directions and complete the assessment.
  • At the bottom of the page, click the green Score it! box.
  • Take a screenshot of your results and upload it to this assignment.
  • Read the TYPE Description located to the bottom left of your results. See the example below:

It is important to remember that the Jung Typology Test is an informal way of assessing your personality traits. Consider how your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses affect your performance in school, at work, and at home. Think about how this may affect your career goals.

You will use this information in this week’s discussion and self-reflection.
