I like the simplicity of this video, and I don't disagree with anything they say fundamentally. In fact I think they are right on the mark with the exception of their use of the word "follower." They say that Leaders produce followers, but I believe leaders produce leaders. They may be front line employees who do not lead anyone else, but instead of following they lead out in their sphere of responsibilities.
So other than a little nuance in semantics this is a great video. Delete the scoop?

This is one blog post you must share with your Principal - it is written by a school principal who understands the importance of literacy, and shares the ways he communicates his values and expectations to his teaching staff and students. He demonstrates a clear commitment to improved literacy by his own actions every day. At his first staff meeting of the year, he asked teachers to write down the names of the books they had read over the holidays - explanation? If we expect kids to be readers, we had better be readers too. It doesn't get better than that. Please read. Please share. DW

We are often hard-pressed to understand, let alone know, what to do with what starts out as a “feeling” about someone.
This is not the “I have feelings” sort of thing, but rather an internal experience we are aware of before we know what it is. We then try to determine its meaning, decide what to do with it, and that often means we “spin” something up.
This means we can be wrong and being wrong can adversely affect leadership effectiveness. Via AlGonzalezinfo, Roy Sheneman, PhD

In this infographic, you'll get an overview of the 16 types to give a sense of how these bigger-than-life personalities fit in the Myers-Briggs philosophy. The official test is based on Carl Jung’s work in psychological typology.

Please Understand Me- Character & Temperament Types (David Keirsey, Marilyn Bates) is a good book for understanding these styles.

Well, the first claim that the unknown writer makes (no by-line attributed), that universities spend "millions of dollars" each year giving this personality test to their students, is just buncomb: a succinct fairly accurate version of Myers-Briggs is online for free, and that's what we ask students to take. No one pays for the personality indicator except by means of time to take it and internet connectivity.
We then ask the students to write reflections of whether this type suits them or not, and what that means in terms of their study habits and needs. So students are not asked to conform to their types, as this article wants its readers to do; they are asked instead to analyze their typology for accuracy and helpfulness in understanding themselves and their type's relationship to their areas of study.
As for the "infographic," I've worked with students to analyze, as a survey, the questions and results of Myers-Briggs in argument classes before, and there's no doubt that the questions asked lead to the answers given. So it's kind of bizzare that someone *ascribed* types to historical figures who never took the test (or if they did, never made their types known) and then show these figures as "typical" of the types.
I personally come up with two of my letters always changing back and forth (INTJ? ENTP? INTP? ENTJ?).
This "article" is misleading and silly. In fact, I'll bet that many of these people actually did take the Myers-Briggs: the test was invented back in the '20s and '30s by a mother and daughter who wanted the daughter to marry, knowing what the man was really like. Actually published in 1943, it was a standard psychological tool for many years; anyone who had psycological counseling in the '60s and '70s probably took it.
So these unnamed writers of this article might do well to search archives and see if any of their reported personalities ever actually took the test.
But wait -- that would be real journalism. Sorry.

Does it pay to know your type? Some say, yes; others say, no. Lot of study and information on personality traits/types. Do they have merit? What do you think? Delete the scoop?

The greatest leaders throughout history increased their influence. However, the primary concerns of these leaders were not their leadership, but service.
No, great leaders don’t think about their leadership. They think about their people. Want to be a great leader? Hone your leadership skills, but focus on service.
