“Knowing your MBTI will make going to work more enjoyable and getting off work faster.”
From ESTJs to INFPs, the secret to creating perfect chemistry with your boss:

Report writing is one of the most interesting psychological games played in organizations.
Some people can get through it in one sitting, but for others, it's a difficult puzzle that requires staying up all night to solve.
The MBTI, the key to solving such dilemmas, is a great tool for identifying the other person's type and writing a customized report.

Vision Korea's new book, "MBTI Report Writing by Type," specifically presents the preferred thinking and writing styles, as well as the differences in effective report writing, for each of the 16 MBTI personality types. Through MBTI, you can understand yourself and others (such as your boss or client), and then craft customized reports that resonate with them. From meticulous, trust-building reports tailored to organizational and accountability types like ISTJ and ISFJ, to idea generation and problem-solving reports optimized for creative and innovative types like ENFP and ENTP, this book offers a variety of practical strategies for persuading and building rapport with your readers (bosses, colleagues, and team members).

After submitting a report, we've probably all heard this from our boss at least once.

"What on earth is the conclusion? Tell me the answer first."
“Why are you so subjective? Is there any basis for it?”
“Please suggest more specific step-by-step response measures.”
“Aren’t there any more diverse alternatives?”

How should you respond to this situation? You need to know your boss's MBTI personality type. The MBTI is a useful tool for diagnosing and identifying personality types and patterns.
The eight preference indicators that make up the MBTI represent general tendencies.
The four reactions when submitting the report exemplified above represent types E, T, J, and P, in that order.
A key strategy to increasing the success rate of your report is to analyze your boss's 16 MBTI pattern types by combining them through each preference indicator and then write a report based on this.

“Manager, the performance analysis report is ready.”
“Oh, Manager, this report seems to have been written too orthodoxly.
I think it would be better to look at reality with a more radical standard than this...
Don't judge solely on sales performance data; conduct field group interviews (FGIs) and visit stores yourself.
Then, let's take our time and write it again."

Manager Oh wants to throw the report at Manager Yoo, who changes things as he pleases.

What could be the problem?
A step-by-step, systematic approach clashes with flexibility.
- I responded to my boss, who gave me a lot of impromptu and unexpected instructions, according to the rules.
- I was unable to respond to the ever-changing situation.
- I'm feeling tired of my boss changing his judgment and decisions based on his mood.

What type is it?
The flexible manager is P type.
- I tend to respond flexibly depending on the situation.
- It's a style that rushes in right before the deadline, so there are frequent last-minute rushes.
- I prefer to think and act spontaneously rather than making plans.

A good piece of writing is one that is easy to understand.
The ES type, with its strong sense of reality and ability to write detailed reports, has the advantage of writing in a way that others can easily understand.
The best writing is the one that the other person can read and understand in one breath.
To write easily, you should avoid using technical expressions as much as possible.
This is a drug description from a pharmaceutical company.

This medicine is a relatively large, colored tablet, and there is a risk that it may become lodged in the esophagus and disintegrate when taken.

To be effective, reports must convey key messages quickly and clearly.
Especially for the TJ type (Thinking & Judging), who prefers logical and goal-oriented thinking, getting to the point first is a good approach.
However, many reports make the mistake of putting off the main point and providing unnecessary background first.
In this case, important information may be buried, the core message may not be conveyed, and the conclusion may be ambiguous, making it less persuasive.
When writing a report, it is important to place the key points first and then supplement the details (top-down structure).
You can effectively convey your core message by using the 'What - Why - How' three-step reporting technique.
