MBTI and Group Dynamics
Group dynamics are impacted by different factors one of which is personality. Personality is part
of a person’s character that in essence lends itself to how they react to situations and interact with
others. Based on the MBTI test taken by the group two personality types emerged where two group
members (Racquel and Michael) were INTJ (Introvert, iNtuition, Thinking, and Judging) and one
group member (Sarah) as ENFP (extravert, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving).
The INTJ personality type, also known as the Architect, once a goal is set, they are going to try
everything they can to succeed. While at the same time, being a very rational personality, if that
specific is goal is unattainable due to constraints for an outsource, they will wait until the time is
correct to try and obtain some other time. On the other hand, an ENFP, known as the Campaigner,
are shaped by the iNtuitive quality. This personality group tends to be guided more by emotions
and compassion while looking for a deeper meaning in things.
Both personality groups work well together as long as each personality type understands the other
and how they communicate. These personality types share an abstract way of communicating
which focuses on the major topics and issues but fail to narrow down on specifics. Working in a
group setting this form of communication can lead to miscommunication and misunderstanding of
what is expected. The INTJ personality type can come across blunt and straight forward in
communications while the ENFP can be assertive and take over conversations. By having a clear
understanding of each other these issues can be minimized where each person can take turns
