Jungian personality assessment characterized Maria as ESFJ, or an extroverted, sensing, feeling and judging person. This suggests that she is a team member who is most 'alive' when she is engaged with the social world of others, an important aspect of both being a leader as well as a team player. Her sensing characterization suggests a person who is observant and likes to make decisions based in factual and concretely demonstrated analysis, not according to abstract theories. However, her feeling characterization also suggest that she possesses a sense of empathy, and means she can offer the group emotional as well as logical understanding. Maria's judging orientation suggests that she likes things to take place in an orderly fashion, according to rules, and a timetable.
This combination of feeling and logic suggest an ideal leader.
Similarly, Myranda, an ESTJ is also a social and outwardly directed, extroverted 'people person,' with sensing and judging orientations to offer the group practical advice and structure, but her thinking orientation means she is more apt to make decisions on thoughts, not feelings, which can be helpful when the group needs a cool-headed and unbiased analysis. Myranda seems like an ideal researcher, treasurer, or secretary who keeps the meeting's minutes and sets the agenda.
To counteract such a love of logic and structure in the characters of her two teammates, however, Kimberly, an ENFP can offer an intuitive, feeling, and perceiving orientation, using intuition and less logically and time-conscious ways of viewing the world. Intuition allows for more 'leaps' in understanding, and more creative ways to view the world, although her extroversion and sensitivity to others will allow her to communicate such feelings to the world with greater ease than Scott. Kimberly would be an ideal marketing or sales person. Lastly, Scott, an ISFP will also add similar sensing, feeling, and perceiving attributes of creativity to the group. Although he is an introvert, this will balance the stronger extroverted tendencies of the three other participants, and will ensure he will not allow his creative views to be swayed by his social environment. Scott's presence will keep the other members 'honest' and not simply socially dependant and people pleasing in their focus, and would make Scott an ideal creative asset to the team.
Personality Theory Analysis The trait theory and the psychoanalytic theory are two theories that attempt to explain personality and behavior, but are two entirely different approaches. The trait theory approaches personality with combinations of personality traits and measurements of individual traits in attempting to explain personality and behavior. On the other hand, the psychoanalytic theory explores the unconscious through behavior, feelings, self-esteem, and social contexts in attempting to explain personality and

Personality Theory Describe and discuss the basic characteristics, tenets and methods of investigation/research for psychodynamic and cognitive perspectives regarding personality psychology, and the benefits/strengths and limitations/weaknesses of each approach. The challenge that the researchers and personality theorists will face is to parsimoniously capture the process-oriented and dynamic nature of personality. Dweck (1996) in an earlier study asserts that "trait theorists have addressed some of the more static, descriptive aspects of personality-how people
