Episode 14 - Typing the Person with the ISFP personalty profile

Customer Secrets

"Personality" is a leading indicator. That means it can show up in a room, even before a person enters the room. It is like the light from the headlights on your automobile. Even before you can see the car on a dark road, you know that a car is approaching you because the light from the headlights is penetrating the darkness. You don't need to meet a person, to get a clue to their personality type. Their personality is already penetrating the area they are coming in to.

What are some of the clues to a person's personality? Where would you find them?

In this episode, I will give you some of the clues that came to me from a job candidate that I was interviewing for a position I was hiring for. One of the big sources of clues to the candidates personality was the resume that they submitted ahead of time. Even before the person spoke to me, I already knew with a high degree of certainty that they had the S-F-P letters in their Myers Briggs personality profile. The "S" is for "Sensing, the "F" stands for "Feeling," and the "P" stands for "Perceiving." The only letter missing was the first one. That came a short time later when they started talking in the actual interview. In just a couple of short sentences, I could pick up that they were an introvert. That gave the file letter, the "I" for introversion, in the four letter personality code.

The hard part of typing is that you probably don't know what the clues are that people give off. That is what you'll discover in this podcast episode.
