My personality style is INFP (based on the MBTI) which has implications for how I approach tasks. 

 

People who are Judging: 

• Prefer an organised lifestyle with order and structure

• Seek to have life under control

• Enjoy being decisive

• Like clear limits and categories

• Feel comfortable with concluding

• Deal with deadlines and plans in advance

 

People who are Perceiving: 

• Prefer a flexible lifestyle and to "go with the flow"

• Prefer to experience life as it happens

• Enjoy being curious and discovering surprises

• Like freedom to explore

• Feel comfortable with openness

• Meet deadlines by a last minute rush

 One way that I demonstrate my perceiving behaviour is through gathering information, and lots of it, and never getting a task finished because there is always a way to improve.

 

Over 5 years ago I started creating a booklet for my career coaching clients on Research for Job Search - it was almost finished, but I thought I could improve on it, so I put it to one side and started something else.

 

Then I got distracted and put the research leaflet into my "to do pile" where eventually it got buried.

 

Just recently I found it again, have reread it, revised it and this morning completed it and sent it on to my current clients and will have it available for future clients.

 

What a great sense of achievement!

 

I’m now revising my job search material and will do my very best to concentrate on getting this task finished, otherwise I’ll end up spending a lot more time as I return to it in the future.
