Kate Putnam as the Executive Myers-Briggs Personality Type

There are many different personality tests that have been devised over the years, most of which are free to take online. A lot of them do not hold a lot of sway, personality is a massively complex concept and these tests often oversimplify and compartmentalize people into binary categories. The Myers-Briggs indicator is one that was devised in the sixties is one of the only tests of its type that has remained popular and is largely respected across fields. Based on the studies of Carl Jung, who worked alongside Freud, it is built on the four functions with which people perceive the world - sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking. Decision making is affected by each of these categories in different degrees. There are sixteen different outcomes in the test, each personality type holding different values and drawing from different factors in order to make their decisions.

Look at Kate Putnam, on Youtube, for an example of an archetypal ESTJ. Labelled the ‘executive’ personality type, ESTJs will bring a lot of value to any of their endeavors. The executive is known for their practicality, decisiveness, and desire for efficiency in any of their pursuits. They are therefore natural leaders, and are quick to involve and organize others in order to get results. With a strong understanding of good and bad outcomes, and being quick to discern between wrong and right, the ‘executives’ embrace honesty and dedication. They also adept at bringing people together, and are usually strong community builders in and outside of the workplace.

It is interesting to do for fun, but the Myers-Briggs test has also served a purpose in helping businesses source new recruits. Leading management consultancy McKinsey & Company are well known to have used it, for example, as a tool for helping sculpt effective teams and make best use of their employees strengths. There are no good or bad personality types necessarily, but each certainly will be better within certain roles and with certain responsibilities than others.

Kate Putnam, official account on LinkedIn, exemplifies the positive traits of the ESTJ, as is evident in her strong community involvement over the years. She is currently a member of Concord Young Professionals Leadership team, The Central NH Bicycling Coalition Board of Directors, The Friends Program Board of Directors, The Bow Rotary, MWV Leadership Class of 2014, a North Face Local’s Ambassador, and a Skimm Ambassador. It is difficult to imagine how she manages to find any free time, but as a true ‘executive’ she finds happiness in the community.
