After taking my test, I
got the result saying I am a INFJ type meaning (Introvert (67%) intuitive (38%)
Feeling (38%) Judging (33%)) these words fit me pretty well, I am well known
with being painfully shy, but I am also very sensitive to others around me. Often
conflicting with myself when I realize someone is hurting but I am to shy or
scared to help. I also prefer doing things by myself and always struggle to
find away to work on my own. With the feeling and judging, I know for a fact I prefer
following my feelings over what I think. The fourth part I am not quite sure
about due to the fact I do not like judging people and sometimes don’t realize
something about someone that others use to judge them. In addition, the words perceiving
and judging seem to be very similar words except perceiving is what you see and
judging is what you believe.
Reading my results, I
found I agreed with some of it, and even though some of it does not fit me entirely
I believe this was very accurate. I also now realize some of the things I do
are because of my personality. For example, I noticed I am very close to my
group of friends and family, but I separate myself from them often as well. In
the description they said “can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a
chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious “soul mates”
then they wrote “will suddenly withdraw into themselves, sometimes shutting out
their intimates.” I do this more often than I would like to admit but I feel at
times like I am not showing my true self to my family and friends, many of them
still learning bits of my personality. This helps me in being a student due to
me not getting distracted by my peers and as a writer I don’t have to worry
about constantly getting side tracked by someone needing my attention and if I
withdraw myself from people they won’t think it’s strange.
Another thing I read in
this was “may well have the clearest insight of all types into motivations of
others, for good or for evil.” This reminded me that out of my friends I am always
the one who can remove myself from a situation and tell both the good and the
bad in it. This will help me in writing in the fact that I can look at both
sides of something and be fairly accurate in comparing and contrasting it. However,
it can also harm me if I have to take one side of something. I always find essays
difficult when my teacher had me take one side of an argument, stay strong in
my argument, and don’t contradict myself. I can never do well in those types
due to the fact I see both sides and can’t blind myself to the other side and
want to find a neutral agreement between the parties.
There was also the sentence “They often are
found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress.”
This is a very true statement for me, I often find myself helping others when
in a distressing situation. When I know for a fact someone needs help I don’t
just stand and watch I either jump in to help or get help that can actually
help them. One situation I can think of is when my sister was having a panic
attach and a asthma attack at the sometime. I was also extremely upset by the
same event that was setting my sister off and was in danger of having a attack
as well. When I realized that I was the only one who could help my sister I
came out of hiding (I ran off and came back but remained hidden because I didn’t
want to be around anyone) and pushed my problems away and stopped crying and hyperventilating
to help my sister. This as a student can
help me with my peers since I can usually tell when something is bothering them
and I enjoy trying to help my class mates, but I don’t really think it can help
me in my writing that much.
As for this test
helping me in collage I don’t think it really helps other then the fact that it
says I will do well in education. However, I already knew I would do well in
the education field due to all of my teachers in High School and all my family
and friends saying I would make a great teacher. However, I would be interested
in connecting with someone who can help me and doing the full test. Nevertheless,
as for helping, with collage writing I don’t really think it will help me and
that it would be better for just making me realize more about myself.
