After you complete the test, go back to the Jung Typology Link and click on the “full description” link located on the bottom left of that page. From the description provided, write a document and describe in detail your test results then explain how this insight into your temperament can be of benefit to you.

If you have not taken this test before, also state that in your response to this assignment. This assignment should be 300-500 words
