The Jung Typology test indicated that I have an ISFJ (introverted sensing feeling judging) personality. I wondered how accurate it would be because I had a hard time answering some of the questions. They were not all right or all wrong and had words like often and usually. However I think for the most part, it was pretty spot on. It indicated that above all I have a desire to serve others, that I am a methodical and accurate worker, that I have a high work ethic but family is the center or my life, and that I have a few close friends that I am ready and able to help on a moment’s notice. The results gave a list of occupations that would be suitable to my personality type. One of those listed was nursing. I was really pleased to see that since that is what I am going to school for now. Others listed were social worker and education, both of which I have seriously considered. Now, with all this being said, how does it affect me as a writer and a student? I am an introvert and that makes this blog very uncomfortable for me. I don’t mind sharing with close friends and family but sharing my thoughts and feelings with the world is just something I don’t want to do. That is one of the reasons that I don’t have a Facebook. This is certainly not something I would do if it wasn’t an assignment. I think my personality and my work ethic makes me work hard. I want to succeed not just for myself but for my family. The test didn’t really reveal anything new to me but just confirmed what I already knew about myself.
How does being an introvert make the blog difficult? Usually it is the other way around as introverts are usually seeking a place to focus their energies. E vs. I has nothing to do with how outgoing or not outgoing you are. Read the indicator materials carefully and reflect on the comparisons. Be specific as to how this relates to you rather than listing what is true and not true. Convince us. This is a good beginning reflection. ~Ms. A.
