MBTI


I’m going to start with either Extraversion or Introversion.  I most definitely knew I was an extravert because I consider myself a very outgoing, enthusiastic, and loud/expressive person.  That definitely fits the bill for an extravert.  I grew up with three older brothers so I had to learn to be loud and I was very active with them as well running around the house with them messing around, rough-housing it around.   I do feel like they are a big part of who I am today.  I’ve never really been a shy or quiet person making new friends only with the exception of the people who REALLY intimidate me. 

The second one is either Sensing or Intuition.  I consider myself a practical and traditional person.  I’m not one to think of imaginative things, I like facts and things that I can prove.  I scored a 5 on both of those things and it makes sense because I’d rather do something that I know will work and usually not something where I won’t know the end result.  I don’t want to do something that won’t work out in the end because that means I just wasted time on it when I could have been doing something else possibly more important.  Also, I also do take people’s feelings into consideration before a say a comment.  I really don’t like to hurt others feelings so if I happen to, I apologize.

Onto the third is Thinking or Feeling.  According to the test I am a Feeling kind of person.  My highest scores on this accepting and compassionate.  I would agree with them because I don’t want people to feel left out and if I happen to do something I try my best to include them.  I’m also the kind of friend that someone can come to and confide in and I’ll be there to listen and they can trust me to keep it between us and help them if they ask for it.  Between tough and tender I happen to be right in the midzone, and I would have to agree with that.  Sometimes you can’t always be tender hearted to people and you have to tell them what’s up and I’m the one to do that.  I don’t want to see someone suffering and sometimes you need to be tough on someone to get that through as well.

Lastly, between Judging and Perceiving it says I’m perceiving but I’m on both sides for this one.  I like to be pretty organized, and follow a schedule a lot.  If I don’t I kind of freak out and I’m not really sure what to do.  The schedule helps me know what I need to get done and what time I have to wait before I get something done.  On one end I’m very easygoing and I’m relaxed, but once something happens to mess up that schedule of mine I may get a little frazzled.

When we had started going over the MBTI in class I had thought I was something else rather than what i got which was ESFP.  Looking over what the MBTI says I can agree what it says that I am.  Everyone is every one of these at some point so I can see where I fit in with the others as well.  I understand where I am in every situation and I’m able to connect certain situations with everything on here as well.  I really did like this experience and seeing everyone else's in class too!

  1. Whoo! Fellow ESFP! It sounds like we're exactly the same for perceiving. I thought I would be a J, but looking over my results it makes sense that I keep just enough freedom for myself to be a P! I'm glad your results fit you so well!!

  2. It sounds like you really have a feel for who you are, and you're comfortable with what your MBTI assessment says about you. Great!

  3. Jess-

    I agree with Brady. It certainly seems like you know yourself very well, which is something I sometimes struggle with trying to interpret what goes through my head! Ha!
