With the Meyers-Briggs (16) personality types as a metric. How does your personality type work with or conflict with your profession (MOS, or Daily job (civilians)? I am a ENTP/ ESTJ (some days). I get along pretty well with all I interact with and makes my job pretty easy to perform - since it is customer oriented in a larger sense of things. Be honest and objective about yourself.

My peraonality type was at first a much needed well in a desert when I first started working post Marine Corps. When I first arrived in the workplace there was little leadership and I was able to take the reigns and run. After things were established I found I was a little to abrasive for some of the management at the time. So I adapted and overcame and used my assertiveness in moderation and have adapted to the less authoratative leadership style I was so acustomed to. It has worked for me to be more of a coach now.

I usually walk away from a disagreement when after asking to and hearing more about someone's point of view and I respond with my reason for disagreement then the other chooses a personal attack or repeating their previous statement while disregarding my statement. It tells me she or he isn't looking to understand - just want to "be right."

What do you do if you are not in the position to walk away, but have to listen or confront the situation?

SFC Randy Purham - Varies. If I keep getting brick-walled trying to do the comparison and reasoning myself, my reaction depends on the project or situation.
