Demonstrate Self-Confidence by Learning How You Operate on a Day-to-Day Basis

Do you like to plan your day? If you are like me you have a to-list and as you finish a task you gladly mark it off your list. Personality Theorist Katherine Briggs Myers expanded Carl Jung’s Personality Theory studies when she developed the fourth preference Judging and Perceiving. This natural preference explains an individual’s attitude about the external world and how they operate daily. Briggs Myers stated, “…how we deal with the external world on a Day-to-day Basis. Are we organized and purposeful, and more comfortable with scheduled, structured environments (Judging), or are we flexible and diverse, and more comfortable with open, casual environments (Perceiving)?”

There is an arguably difference between Perceiving and Judging. Perceivers are more free-spirited, flexible, and open-ended. They appear to be less structured and more spontaneous. Typically, they do not make decisions readily; they would prefer to weight all their options before making a decision. They believe in living one day at a time; usually Perceivers would not be comfortable preparing a five year strategic plan. This type of behavior could appear as procrastination, since they like to postpone decisions and do things at the last minute. Judgers have the proclivity to be more organized and structured. They will make a to-do-list of the activities that need to be accomplished for the day. On their to-do-list as they finish a task they triumphantly mark it off the list and go to the next item. They like the sense of progress and closure. Judgers are usually neat. They schedule appointments for meetings in advance. They not only schedule the appointment but they will also confirm it a day before the date to ensure the individuals they are meeting with will be there.

Demonstrate self-confidence by learning how you operate on a day-to-day basis. As you may imagine there maybe a conflict if both a Judger and a Perceiver work on a project together or are partners in a business. The Judger will want to set deadlines, schedule time frames to complete tasks, and bring closure to issues. Although, this type of management style may not agree with a Perceiver’s style of operation, the two different preferences could complement the other. This is possible if both individuals have developed their natural preferences and are tolerant to their differences in daily business operation. Hence, the weak area for one will be the area of strength for the other. For example, the Judger will want to make a decision and bring closure to an issue; however the Perceiver will research the matter thoroughly and not allow an irrational decision to be made. Initially until they learn one another personality type, there maybe some conflict but all that can be worked out.

Demonstrate Self-Confidence by Learning How to Identify Your Decision Making Natural Preference

Change your decision making process and change your life. We all have done it at least once in our life, made a bad decision. Well, the past is history and cannot be changed; however, we can affect our present and subsequently make a positive impact on our future. How do you prefer to make decisions – in an objective, logical, and rational manner or are your decisions subjective based on your own personal value system. If you use the former method, you use the Thinking mode of decision making and the latter is the Feeling mode.

What mode do you use to make decisions pertaining to your relationships, occupation, and or spending habits? Personality Theorist Carl Jung contends, “people have the capability to make decision based on two very different sets of criteria: Thinking and Feeling. When someone makes a decision that is based on logic and reason, they are operating in the Thinking mode. When someone makes a decision that is based on their value system, or what they believe to be right, they are operating in the Feeling mode.” We all use both modes to make decisions; we have a natural preference to rely on one more than the other. Some of the most difficult decision we make are the ones that conflict with both of our modes of decision making. In those cases our dominate mode takes over. The easy decisions and the ones we feel good about are those that agree with both our Feeling and Thinking modes.

Demonstrate self-confidence by learning how to identify your natural preference you use to make decisions. An individual who uses the Feeling mode to make decisions will use their own set of rules or personal morals and value system when trying to decide a matter. A “Feeler” is more sensitive to others feelings and will avoid sharing information that could be upsetting. They are more of a spontaneous shopper their purchases may be just because they like an item or because it is on sale. They may not accept a job offer because they do not like the work environment. On the other hand, a person who uses the Thinking decision making mode will be logical, rational, and impartial. Their decisions will be based on what they believe to be fair and correct. This is based on a pre-defined set of rules for behavior. A “Thinker” is more objective in their decision making process. They are the type that will do the necessary product research for the best product purchase. They are not usually spontaneous shopper if they do not need an item they are not going to purchase it, sale or no sale. Typically, they will not consider their feelings and may not consider the other person’s feeling when making a decision. Whatever, the guideline states that is what it is, how they feel about it is not important. They are going to do the “Right Thing” whether they agree with it or not. If they are not careful some of their behavior can be seen as insensitive.

Demonstrate self-confidence by learning how to identify your natural preference you use to make decisions. Are they based on your own set of personal rules or do you make decisions based on a pre-define set of rules of behavior. Reflect on where you are at this point of your life and determine whether you are pleased with your current state. I say this because where you are at this present moment in time is a result of the decisions you have made throughout your life. If you are not pleased with your current life situation, then you may need to change or adjust your mode of decision making.

I said it before but it bears repeating, if you are not happy with the results you are receiving than you may need to change or adjustments your decision making mode. If you are a people pleaser but no one is trying to please you than you may want to be a little more rational, objective, and logical when deciding how to interact within your relationships.

Sensing or Intuition - Empower Yourself Identify Your Natural Preference

Think about it, how do you gather information? Do you believe everything you see and or hear. Do you religiously watch the evening news and believe every report. You never ask yourself what kind of spin did the new broadcast put on the report to “sensationalize” it., to increase their ratings. We live in the information age, if you need to know anything go online and “google” it. Do you believe everything you read on the internet? In this article I am going to discuss your natural preference for gathering information whether it is Sensing or Intuitive.

Is your natural preference Sensing or Intuitive? Do you know the differences?
Carl Jung Personality Theorist contended, “that there are two distinct ways of perceiving the data that we gather. The Sensing preference absorbs data in a literal, concrete fashion. The Intuitive preference generates abstract possibilities from information that is gathered.” How you take in information or data is based on your preferred method of gathering and absorbing it. Do you trust your five senses (Sensing) or do you rely on your instincts (Intuitive)?” We all need data or information to base our decisions. Well, individuals that are sensing have a native preference to process information based on what they: see, hear, touch, smell, and taste. This could be: tasting food, following instruction, and smelling a rose. They typically take data in literally in a concrete fashion. They take things at “face value” no gray areas. Conversely, individuals that are intuitive have a native preference to rely on their instincts when gathering information. These individuals typically do not take everything literally; they generate abstract possibilities from information gathered. They rely heavily on their instinct. Sometimes it is called a “gut feeling” “third eye”, or “a six sense”. Everything is sorted through their own personal value system. They are more abstract; they have the ability to “read between the lines.” They realize what their five senses are telling them but they rely more heavily on what their “gut feeling” is telling them. They trust their intuition without building on a strong and solid foundation of facts.

Consequently, depending on how you gather information and process it, you may want to consider how you are relating it to your current relationships. Are you taking everything that is happening at face value and saying, “it is what is” and not looking at the possibilities of improvement or the potential for change. If you use the sensing method to gather information and process it based strictly on your five senses you could possibly be missing out on some wonderful opportunities. Admittedly, we cannot gather information and process it only on our own personal value system or set of rules – intuitive. Their must be a combination of the two preferences. Thus, as you journey through life you will notice yourself becoming more intuitive in the way you gather information to base your decisions. This is because you will have more experiences to weigh against your five senses

Rely more on your intuition. Life is not always “black or white” there is usually some gray areas. There should be a balance. Sometime you have to ask why or why not and not be so narrowly focused. Empower yourself identify your natural preference.

Introverted or Extroverted - Empower yourself Identify your Natural Preference Become a Better You


We all have natural preferences and based on these preferences we can identify our strengths and weaknesses. Do you realize based on your personality type that your occupation could possibly be pleasantly pleasing or desperately draining your energy. If it is a struggle or you find yourself consistently complaining about your chosen occupation, then that could possibly be an indicator that you are not working in the field that is complementary to your personality type. You could possibly be working in your area of weakness and that maybe a major contributing factor to your poor job performance. On the other hand, if your occupation is satisfying and it brings you a sense of joy and gratification; this could be indicative that you are working in an area of your strength. Additionally, your occupation most likely agrees with your personality type.


Is your natural preference introverted or extroverted or do you know the differences? According to

Personality Theorists, “Our Flow of Energy defines how we receive the essential part of our stimulation. Do we receive it from within ourselves (Introverted) or from external sources (Extroverted)?” Well, individuals that are introverted have a native preference to live in the world within them. They are typically stimulated or energized by: spending their leisure alone or with family; they derive pleasure from walks alone or with a significant other; they usually try not to draw attention to themselves in a crowd; they are content spending a quiet weekend at home; they would prefer to read a book than go out to a social gathering; and they prefer small groups rather than crowds. Conversely, individuals that are extroverted have a native preference to live in the world outside of them. These individuals are typically stimulated or energized by tasks that can be done with their hands and or involve other people: cooking; working on a car; talking, they like socializing with a group of people – social gathering, shopping; enjoy speaking to large groups; prefer to be the center of attention; and they feel at ease in a crowd.


Consequently, depending on how you are stimulated internally or externally you may want to consider whether your present occupation is pleasantly pleasing or desperately draining. If you have an introverted natural preference and your occupation requires you to control, communicate, and manage a large group of people and you feel drained at the end of the day; it may be you are operating outside of your native preference. You would be more equipped in an occupation where you can work independently of constant contact with employees. However, an extroverted personality type may enjoy controlling, communicating, and managing employees, since they are more people oriented and hands-on.


So to determine whether you have an introverted or extrovert preference you may have to identify what stimulates you: do you enjoy speaking to large audiences; is it a delight to attend social gathering; do you like being alone reading or writhing; taking solitary walks. These are just a few items that could possibly indicate your natural preference. If you have introversion tendencies then you are stimulate internally – meaning you enjoy activities that comes from within. Unlike extroversion tendencies you are more hands-on with various tasks and are people oriented. Extroverted personality type tend to be sociable individuals and are stimulated interacting with people. This information is not meant to box anyone in. Some of us have learned throughout various trails, tribulation, and life experiences to adjust ourselves to both modes of operations.

Demonstrate Self-Confidence by Conducting a Self-Assessment to Determine Your Strengths and Weaknesses

You may say, “I am not good at this particular task or I could improve in that area” well, we all have shortcomings no one is good at everything. However, we all have been graced with some type of gift and or talent. No one is expected to be good at everything; you just have to find your area you have been gifted in. What do you have a passion for? What do you enjoy doing whether you get paid for doing it or not? Whatever that may be that could possibly be your passion. I like helping others in whatever way I can. I love the idea that I may have played a small part in someone fulfilling their life dream or desire. Sometimes you may have to demonstrate self-confidence by conducting a self-assessment to determine your strengths and weaknesses.

A self-assessment may be necessary to determine the areas you are strong in as well as identify your shortcomings. It will give you insight on where you should concentrate your time and energy. Additionally, you will learn more about your personality type:

Extravert and Introverted
Sensing and Intuitive
Thinking and Feeling
Judging and Perceiving

This information could be used as a good starting point to determine whether or not you are currently working in an area that is a match for your personality.

Know your strengths and weaknesses. Know what you are good at verses what you are not and work in your area of strength. Work on your area of weakness. Additionally, while you are working on these areas, if you have a partner or friend who is good in your weak area, allow them to assist you. Never put yourself down because you are not good at a certain task. Identify the activities you do well and place your thoughts and energy in those areas. Always build yourself up, pat yourself on the back and dwell on your positive aspects. Do not dwell on negative thoughts about yourself, always think on the things you do well. For example, some people are not “number people” math is their weakness. I have found some of those same individuals are the most creative people. They can create something out of nothing. They can take “another person’s trash and turn it into a treasure.”

In some cases rather than conducting a self-assessment, you can ask a friend. This is especially so if your confidence in your friend’s opinion is held in high regards.
William Arthur Ward an American scholar wrote, “A true fried knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths…” Sometimes all you have to do to discover your strengths and weaknesses is to ask a true friend.
