Self Discovery
Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do?
Self-discovery will help you understand how you are “wired” or have a bent
toward specific personal preferences in how you get things done or possibly
don’t get things done! Every individual is unique (there is only one of you),
yet at the same time individuals have similar behavioral styles, temperaments,
and patterns of decision making. As you learn more about yourself you will gain
greater knowledge that will help you in your relationship to others.

T-JTA – Taylor Johnson Temperament
Assessment
The T-JTA is used to measure a number of important and comparatively
independent common personality variables or attitudes and behavioral
tendencies which influence personal, social, marital, parental, family,
scholastic, and vocational adjustment. It provides an evaluation in
visual form showing the respondent’s feelings about himself or herself
at the time the questions are answered. In addition, the questions may
be answered regarding another person to measure the individuals’
interpersonal perception or how they feel about their spouse-to-be,
spouse, parent, child etc. The T-JTA will help you discover your
temperament traits and true feelings regarding your circumstances.
DISC - The DISC Personality System is the
universal language of behavior.
Research has shown that behavioral characteristics can be grouped
together in four major divisions called personality styles. People with
similar personality profiles styles tend to exhibit specific behavioral
characteristics common to that profile. All people share these four
styles in varying degrees of intensity. The acronym DISC stands for the
four personality styles represented by the letters:
Dominance – relating to control, power and
assertiveness
Influence – relating to social situations and
communication
Steadiness (submission in Marston's time) –
relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness
Conscientiousness (or caution, compliance in Marston's
time) – relating to structure and organization
The DISC can be personally used in the following ways:
- Discover behavioral strengths, areas for augmenting, blending,
capitalizing
- Value and learn to respect the strengths of others
- Deal with conflict effectively by learning adaptive behaviors
- Enhance work group with teamwork and minimize team conflict
- Develop strategies to meet diverse needs of others
- Improve communication skills by determining communication styles
- Increase sales skills and understanding of the prospect, client, customer with people reading
- Improve customer relationships by identification and meeting needs
- Reduce conflict and stress, in both interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships
- Manage interpersonal communication better
MBTI – Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
The MBTI instrument identifies four separate dichotomies: Extraversion
versus Introversion, Sensing versus Intuition, Thinking versus Feeling,
and Judging versus Perceiving. These preferences affect not only what is
attended to in any given situation but also how conclusions are drawn
about what has been perceived. Please read on…
Simply put, the purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
personality inventory is to help you discover how you gather information
from what is going on around you (Perception) and how you reach
conclusions (Judgment). The essence of the theory is that much seemingly
random variation in behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent,
being due to basic differences in the way individuals prefer to use
their perception and judgment.
Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people,
happenings, or ideas. Judgment involves all the ways of coming to
conclusions about what has been perceived. If people differ
systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions,
then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in their
interests, reactions, values, motivations, and skills. If you work with
people or have family members who are an opposite “Type” you are
probably experiencing difficulty in these relationship. The MBTI should
help you understand yourself and why you are more comfortable around
certain people. It will also help you understand other “Type’s”
perception and judging process.
