Use the prompt each week to guide your heading titles and organize the content of your initial post under the appropriate headings. Remember to use scholarly research from peer-reviewed articles that are current. I have attached scoring sheet and test results, so you can see how to make full points. Please follow the instructions to get full credit for the discussion. I need this completed by 01/14/20 at 4pm. 

DISCUSSION POSTS— For your Main discussion posts, I require that all posts be a MINIMUM of 250 words. The main post must contain a minimum of two (2) different references from a peer reviewed journal or scholarly book or scholarly website. It is a good idea to use your Learning Resources each week. Wikipedia does not count as a scholarly website since the information is not validated.

Discussion – Week 8

Mini Mental State Exam

What is it like to be assessed? For this Discussion, you take the role of a client and experience taking the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE). As you go through this experience, consider what it feels like to be assessed, and to be a client. You will also complete the Jung Typology Test and reflect on your results. You will post your reflections and insights.

To Prepare:

• Review the Mini Mental State      Exam (MMSE) video program in the Learning Resources for this week.
• Complete the Mini Mental Status      Exam on blank paper by responding as if you are the client. Record all      your answers.
• Retrieve the Folstein Scoring      Sheet from this week’s resources and score your answers, noting that you      actually completed two tasks that were similar, (i.e., math and spelling      (maximum possible score of 5 for each section). You are to use the higher      of those two sections to include in the total score.
• Take the Jung Typology      assessment online. Score your answers and save your results.

By Day 3 of Week 8

• In 1-2 paragraphs, share what      the experience was like to be asked the questions in the Mini Mental State      Exam. It seemed to be pretty easy. 
• Describe what it was like to      answer the questions, your thoughts as you went through the exam, and how      you reflected on your final MMSE score. I felt the questions were easy to answer. I was      thinking that how is this a mental state exam. My score was 29 because I      felt like I didn’t recall the 3 words in the order that it was given.
• What was it like to take the      Jung assessment online? Do you feel that it describes you? Some of the questions I was like unsure on how to      answer because I felt like it depend on the situation on how I would      answer. I do feel like it describe me for the most part but I don’t feel      like I am judging.
• What insights did you gain in      terms of how it felt to be assessed?      With the MMSE I was comfortable but with the Jung assessment I more      uncomfortable because I felt like the choices were not what I would pick.
• How do you imagine clients may      react? I think clients would find the      Jung more difficult than the MMSE.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Identify current relevant literature to support your work.

ISTJ

Introverted Sensing

Thinking Judging

“It is in keeping with tradition throughout our history that I should express simply and directly the opinions which I hold concerning some of the matters of present importance.” –Herbert Hoover, Inaugural Address, Monday, March 4, 1929.

ISTJs are often called inspectors. They have a keen sense of right and wrong, especially in their area of interest and/or responsibility. They are noted for devotion to duty. Punctuality is a watchword of the ISTJ. The secretary, clerk, or business(wo)man by whom others set their clocks is likely to be an ISTJ.

As do other Introverted Thinkers, ISTJs often give the initial impression of being aloof and perhaps somewhat cold. Effusive expression of emotional warmth is not something that ISTJs do without considerable energy loss.

ISTJs are most at home with “just the facts, Ma’am.” They seem to perform at highest efficiency when employing a step-by-step approach. Once a new procedure has proven itself (i.e., has been shown “to work,”) the ISTJ can be depended upon to carry it through, even at the expense of their own health.

ISTJs are easily frustrated by the inconsistencies of others, especially when the second parties don’t keep their commitments. But they usually keep their feelings to themselves unless they are asked. And when asked, they don’t mince words. Truth wins out over tact. The grim determination of the ISTJ vindicates itself in officiation of sports events, judiciary functions, or an other situation which requires making tough calls and sticking to them.

Their SJ orientation draws the ISTJ into the service of established institutions. Home, social clubs, government, schools, the military, churches — these are the bastions of the SJ. “We’ve always done it this way” is often reason enough for many ISTJs. Threats to time-honored traditions or established organizations (e.g., a “run” on the bank) are the undoing of SJs, and are to be fought at all costs.

(ISTJ stands for Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, Judging and represents individual’s preferences in four dimensions characterising personality type, according to Jung’s and Briggs Myers’ theories of personality type.)

Your Type Preferences

Introvert(44%) Sensing(3%) Thinking(12%) Judging(19%)

Because you appear to have marginal or no (3%) preference of Sensing over Intuition, characteristics of more than one personality type may apply to you:

Functional Analysis Of The ISTJ

Based on Jung’s framework of cognitive functions

Introverted Sensing

Si is oriented toward the world of forms, essences, generics. Time is such a form, a quantifiable essense of exactitude, the standard to which external events are held. For both of the IS_J types, the sense of propriety comes from the clear definition of these internal forms. An apple “should” have certain qualities, against which all apples are evaluated. A “proper” chair has four legs, (and other qualities this poor INTP can only guess). Jung viewed introverted sensing as something of an oxymoron, in that the natural direction of senses is outward toward the object, rather than inward and away from it. One has the sense that Introverted Sensors are drawn more to the measure of the concept of the perceived object than to the experience of that perception.

Extraverted Thinking

The moderation of the Te function serves to socialize the expression of these forms. When the Si function is ready to relinquish the data, Te may speak. Otherwise, silence is golden. ISTJs seem to have a few favorite forms (the tried and true) which may serve for most occasions. My ISTJ dad woke me every morning with the same phrase for more years than I care to remember. Asked, “How are you?” he answered with the same stock phrase. (“As well as my age and habits will permit” was used for about two decades.) “It’s a good form, a sound form–it’s the form for me.”

Introverted Feeling

Since Fi is turned inward, it is rarely expressed. Perhaps this enables the ISTJ to resolutely accept that “we are all doomed.” When told that Lazarus had died, Thomas said, “Let us go and die with him.” (He could just as well have said something like, “I knew this was bound to happen sooner or later.”) Only in times of great distress is the Introverted Feeling expressed (as I witnessed in my dad when a neighbor’s son was killed in a hunting accident). Otherwise, feeling is inferred, or expressed nonverbally, through eye contact, or an encouraging smile.

Extraverted Intuition

The Ne function of an ISTJ does not serve them very well. It needs a lot of help. For example, an ISTJ was surprised to find that someone she had talked with only by phone had red hair, because she “didn’t usually like” people with red hair! This inferior Ne seems to be a major source of, and a natural breeding ground for, stereotypes. Failure of the banking system is but one bogeyman which arises from the fear which feeds on the ISTJ’s mistrust of real world possibilities. The shadow inhabiting the inferior Ne strikes at the precious forms and standards in the heart of the dominant Si function.
