How well does one know himself or herself as a person? Or even the type of person they are? How can one tell if they’re an introvert or an extrovert? There are so many questions that come to mind but no answers that follow. However, after taking the Majors PTI assessment was when I realized what type of person I am. My results revealed that I am an INFJ. What does that even mean? Well, being an INFJ means that I am an introvert, who uses their feelings and intuition to make their judgments. INFJ’s like to use words and visions and be imaginative. They tend to make connections to everything and give a deeper meaning to every part of their life. Truthfully speaking, that’s exactly the type of person I am. I prefer to deal with things according …show more content…
As I was reading the descriptions, I realized that I do in fact relate to being creative and being insightful. In any situation that I am put in, I tend to use my creativity side to solve the issue rather than going about it the standard way or doing what is considered the norm. I can relate to majority of these strengths however I do disagree with a few. I am not one to be decisive. If given a situation where I had to make an important decision, it would require a lot of time and rethinking and revisiting the situation for me to be able to come to a conclusion and make a decision. I would in fact consider this to be one of my weaknesses instead. I would also state that an INFJ’s ability to be convincing does not seem to fit my personality. Speaking to others and convincing them to change their view or thinking to a different standpoint is something I find difficult in doing in which I prefer to stay away from these types of situations. Along with these two weaknesses, there are few standard weaknesses that I relate to. One of them would be being sensitive. I can be a very sensitive person sometimes. At times I unknowingly take criticism to heart and question my abilities along with their …show more content…
There are many instances where my family and even my closest friends question why I am so reserved. They sometimes ask me why I am unable to fully open up and talk about my thoughts and feelings like they are able to and I never had an answer. I was never able to figure out why I am this way until I took this test. I realized that being a private person is one of the weaknesses of my personality type and that it is very common amongst INFJ’s. This is something that is in fact easily noticeable based on the type of person I am. I like to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself. I find I very difficult to fully trust those around me. Finding someone I can fully trust whether it may be a friend or a love interest is like finding a needle in a haystack. Being a private person has made me worried about my future life and it makes me wonder if I will ever find someone who can fully understand and relate to me. I wonder if ill ever be able to find some whom I can blindly trust. In order for me to find those whom I can trust, I have realized that I need to let myself loose. I have learned to confide in a few of my closest friends. I have learned that sharing my thoughts and feeling with those whom I’m close to not only makes our relationship stronger but it makes me feel lighter. It makes me feel as if a weight load has been lifted off my chest and restores my trust in
They suggest that measuring one’s characteristics such as sociability, drive, self-determination and demeanor can aid one to better interpret and discern them introspectively. By taking the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) I am able to compare my personality traits to careers in which I may enjoy, will fit my individual personality and enable me to be successful say Drummond, Jones & Sheperis (2016). The results of my self-administered inventory are as follows; Introvert (I) 55%, Intuitive (N) 76%, Feeling (F) 86% and Perceiving (P) 67%. The four dimensions of the inventory seem to be very accurate for the manner in which I view myself. The result of INFP suggests that my personality shows a predominant association with being in a career in which I am able to care for others, such as a healer. This is a correlate with my first career as a firefighter and
The start of this semester I did not know what to expect. I didn’t know how many classmates, who the teacher would be, or the probability of how well I would do in the course. Now, it’s getting close to the middle of the semester and mid-tests. I am very happy that half of this semester is almost done. During the fourth week of this class, surprisingly I learned some new information about myself. Based on a Myers-Briggs personality test I found out that my type is an INFJ. This acronym stands for Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judgment. It also means “The Advocate”, how ironic since that is what I do for a living. I work for an agency as a home care aide to the seniors with

With my personality type being ISFP, I have learned that I am able to collect a large amount of information at one and that I am able to think before I speak. I would strongly agree with this personality type. I put other people’s feelings before my own. Another thing I have learned is that I should find a job where I am able to work with people and find a job were I will be able to make good use of my ability of being able to understand facts. My possible strengths would be to make being feel comfortable and valued.
Before taking the test I knew it would say I was an introvert and liked to think a lot. So it didn’t come as a shock when My results said that I have a INTJ (Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging) personality. What it means is that I tend to keep to myself, I like to analyze things, I’m a perfectionist, and have a vivid imagination. I agree with most of what the results say except for when it says I tend to disregard higher authority; my parents taught me to always respect higher authority, and I believe that I do. I also don’t agree with when It says I struggle with sharing my personal feelings. I don’t share my feelings often because I believe you should only do that with the people your close with. But I wouldn’t say I struggle with that

My INFJ in academic and business milieu: from the past week assignment, my preferred four letters chosen base on the instructions received from Myers-Briggs type indicator were INFJ, which stands for Introverting, iNtuiting, Feeling and Judging. For this week assignment I was very surprise after taking the Jungian test to discover that my personality type fours letter were confirmed to be the same INFJ. Having my conformed INFJ profile means that in business milieu, my creativity and sense of responsibility come in first. Although as an INFJ I’m strongly introverted, I nevertheless highly care about my relationship with other individuals. At work I’m open to communication and always available when it comes to help colleagues to carry out on tasks or explaining work procedures. However, my personality type also implies that I can have sudden need for personal time away from others, which is my way to recharge and regain my energy. In an academic milieu, I’m more focus on setting and reaching my goals; I get motivated by planning in advance my studying weeks and do a lot of efforts to meet my assignment deadlines.

Another quality that a psychiatrist will need, is to be able to display empathy, which is where the INFJ personality type comes in. They’re very sensitive, and they can relate to the feelings of others with ease. They specialize in being able to explicate the emotions of others & delving deep into their thoughts to retrieve the answer to their difficulties. They have a unique sense of “feeling” the emotions of others, which may make them ideal psychiatrists, counselors, or therapists. The only downside is that they’re highly irrational under stress, and
In the ISFJ personality the letter “I” represented me being an introvert. Introverts tend to be more closed in and often think about things before acting on them. Introverts would choose reading a book over hanging out with friends. Introverts, like myself, prefer alone time more often than others. I show this common characteristic very often. A lot of my family and friends often worry that I am too introverted and should get out more. In my career, I have always enjoyed one on one task versus group assignments. I always took pride in completing my tasks alone and in a timely and accurate manner. Introvert is a definite fit for my personality. "Good introductory paragraph
