Should I Own And Operate My Own Business
When asked what I would like to do when I leave college the answer is always the same, I would like to own and operate my own bed and breakfast. I was never asked if I was sure that I could handle the responsibility or if I should own and operate my own bed and breakfast. With taking the tests given to us I have figured out what type of person I am and if that person would be a good entrepreneur.
The first test was the Jung Typology test. This test believes that all people can be classified by using four different pieces of criteria. The four criteria are four groups of two opposite characteristics that describe what type of person you are. The groups are extroversion and introversion, sensing and intuition, thinking and feelings, and judging and perceiving. This test gives you a type formula and it should help identify ones general lifestyle and also gives what career area one belongs in.
The test believes that I am ESFJ, which means that I am an extrovert who senses, feels, and judge’s the situations I am put in. ESFJ’s are entertainers and believe in customs. We also like being in charge and like to delegate when problems arise, but with working hard we also like to have time to play as well. Along with the work we do we are willing to work for others but also expect the same in return. Finally, we sense danger a lot and find it hard to trust most people. A few famous ESFJ’s are President Bill Clinton, Terry Bradshaw, Sally Field, and Danny Glover. Also a couple fictional ESFJ’s are Monica from the television show Friends, Donald Duck, and Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh.
This test shows that if I were to follow my entrepreneur dreams I would be good with some decisions and not as good with others. I would do well with problems at work and I would be successful in dealing with my employees and making sure the problem was fixed. I would also be good at doing my part in running the business. I enjoy helping others...
