Introduction
Psychometrics, and the role personality plays within the workplace, has had significant correlations through the research which has taken place to date. Alder (1996) found that by “using dispositions as a starting point, we are more likely to find behavioural coherence across work and non-work settings”. Taking Adler’s research into account, a theory based self-reflection will be conducted on three styles identified; interpersonal, team-working and leadership, and a personal development plan will be carried out to supplement the findings.

However, consultative leader is identified as my primary leadership style at 6.3, followed closely by a secondary leadership style, participative leader, at 5.9. Both these styles favour a combination of results. A consultative leader combines elements of both democratic and directive leadership orientations, and a participative leader is primarily concerned with getting the best results from the team as a whole. This ability to be somewhat close in nature to all the leadership styles, and to not have a singular approach to thinking, allows De Bono’s principle of Six Thinking Hats to be an attainable goal for me to meet. De Bono (2017) identified six ways in which to change and adapt one’s approach to decision making in order to reach the best possible outcome given the situation. If, as a consultative leader, I can effectively apply the “hat” to meet the needs to the task at hand, I can overcome my lack of strong leadership skills with my ability to make insightful and accurate

Leadership My leadership style is participative leadership. Participative leaders use a participation process through which those who are affected by the change are brought to understand the change through ongoing discussion. Input from group members encourages participation in problem-solving strategies. This stimulates the team to be more effective with better decision-making skills and more favorable outcomes (Pakkeerappa, 2014).

David, Self assessments are tricky. I mean, they are for me at least. Especially when it comes to writing. Whenever I write something, especially something creative, I generally go through the same process; While I'm writing it I enjoy the ideas that I am coming up with, and I think that what I have created is really good. I even feel pride, or at least something resembling it, when I re-read it for the first time.

Jung proposed the “duality” in human personality. He distinguished two schools of thought in philosophy, namely idealists and realists and claimed that idealist consider the subject of perception as a base for knowledge while realists believe that the object of perception is the base of knowledge. Having studied the background of these schools of thought, Jung claimed that a comprise exists between philosophy and psychology in which realists are more extroverts while idealists are more introverts. He further differentiated these two distinctions by characteristics that identify
