What I learned through MBTI...

I was really surprised by how much they got out of the MBTI evaluation. In all honesty, it was a last minute, just get it over with deal. Between work, scholarships, orientation, placement tests, and getting ready for college in general, my summer was hectic and it was just another bullet on the list of things to do. Nevertheless, I answered it to the best of my ability and was surprised by how well it ended up turning out like how I thought of myself. I had picked myself out as ESFP and it placed me with an ENFP.

I can see how both the S and N, S for sensing and N for intuition, could fit me. I personally believe that it depends on the situation and mood I'm in. Sensing leans more towards facts and what I can feel and point out, which I can definitely relate to as it's the one I picked out. Intuition is apparently for me imaginative and creative ways of viewing situations, which I still think is less me than facts, but I can see how it could apply for certain instances.

In general, ENFP places me as someone who is really interested in social activities and outgoing things, that I like to use my imagination and base my ideas and choices off of it. I also place more stake in emotional value and important to me on a personal level when making decisions. P I think in general sums up my life, I'm laid back and I don't plan things out, I don't like having set plans and usually just go with the flow. Along with the fact that I'm horrible when it comes to procrastination.

I liked the opportunity that the MBTI gave me to really take a hard look at myself the motivation behind my decisions and feelings. It was a new experience and I'm glad that I did it.

  1. I feel kinda the same way. I knew who I was before. But this kinda reassured myself.

  2. I guess I'm a little surprised that you are classified as an introvert, I don't know maybe it's because you just came off as a quiet, reserved person to me.

  3. I can see that you are an extrovert just by being with you for a short few weeks. I also had the controversy between sensing and intuition. It depends on what mood I am, and what has happened to me recently. I can't wait to get to know you better in the rest of our four years here!
