After taking the personality test, it was revealed that I am a INFJ, noted as “The Protector” (Jung Typology Test, n.d.). The two letter temperament score I received was a NF or “Idealist,” “Counselor” (The Personality Page, n.d.). I – Introverted For this personality type, introverted is someone who is “meditative and reflective” (Kroeger, 2002) and “thinks through a problem so we understand it” (The Personality Page, n.d.). Introversion takes the form of pondering “big-picture context” (Kroeger, 2002) and looking for meaning in everyday life. For myself, this description holds true, as I am a pastor by vocation, and tend toward study and theology as a means of understanding. I do not like large crowds and do not need to be the center …show more content…
He goes on to note that this personality type is lead to “pursue the theoretical and accomplish most goals by which academic achievement is measured” (Kroeger, 2002). This is also true for my life as I find myself always looking for new ways to study and learn, seeking more education. The last break I took from attending school was spent exploring what other avenues of education were open to me and the possibilities of branching out into other areas of study. The intuitive part of my personality holds well in my vocation as well, as pastor and counselor, working with people who are hurting that may not even know why they are where they are. The Personality Page notes “INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations” (n.d.). This is true for my interactions with others, and also that I feel people seek me out for counsel, even when I am not known to them as a pastor. Also holding true for this personality type is my desire to hold my own personal matters close and not confide in others about myself (The Personality Page, n.d.). It has taken me many years to learn to trust others with what I hold close, and I have built a small circle of close friends that I can share …show more content…
As both the profile itself (The Personality Page, n.d.) and the Type Talk at Work text (Kroeger, 2002) both affirm, my profession of pastor is well suited for my INFJ personality. Additionally, Kroeger notes that the INFJ contributes to the workplace by “turn(ing) work into a cause and injects – with quiet serious focus – inspiration and devotion throughout the organization” (2002). This ability to inspire others to carry out their mission in the workplace or in life is a useful trait for a pastor. I have not considered this before this profile quiz, but can see the benefits and the history of this in my
Now as I’ve been agreeing with all the test’s results and their meanings behind them, there is something that Ms. Kendra Cherry speaks of that I don’t agree with, and that is some of her career choices for ISFJ people. Now she does gives an examples of some that are good choices such as a bookkeeper, banker, and an accountant, she thinks that some of the best career choices for people with the personality type are social worker, counselor, teacher, etc. The reason why I disagree with her choices is that I feel that her choices don’t go well with people who have the ISFJ type of personality. Knowing what it means to be a ISFJ, you would know by now that people who have this type of personality are kinds of people who wouldn’t fit the mold of
I will be applying a Jungian psychological interpretation of Parade by Abraham Rattner. Parade is a piece of art depicting a civil rights march, presumably led by Martin Luther King Jr. Immediately, the painting portrays the rebel archetype. For example, people are holding up signs saying things such as, "We want peace. " The goal of the rebel is to overturn what is not working; MLK Jr. was protesting racial inequality.

Overview I took the Myers-Briggs Personality test and tested as an ENTJ. I felt that the this gave me an accurate rating and felt that the description it gave was accurate. I went and read the descriptions for all the other personality types to see if any of them were a better match.

Career Choice I came to ATA to try and achieve my dream of being a cosmetologist. I have always loved doing hair, I have done my own hair about 32 times in the past 4 years, and I have done my mother’s hair too. Unfortunately, cosmetology here was a 2-year program and I am only here for 1 year. They ended up putting e in nail tech, which I am just as happy with, especially since I have to learn it for cosmetology anyways.
Extroverts can be some of the best people you meet. They have plenty to offer and thrive at the attention of others. However, being introverted can be just as great. In a society where being extroverted is the ideal, it can be very difficult to be an introvert. Susan Cain argues in her Ted Talk, “The Power of Introverts”, that introverts can share many brilliant ideas with the world and should be encouraged and celebrated for who they are.
Week one: Reflection Paper Assignment The personality type that was indicated from my completion of the MBTI puzzle is introvert, sensing, feeling, and judging (ISFJ). I would say what surprised me the most about these results were the personality tendencies of sensing and introvert. The personality tendency of sensing says I am practical and cost effective. I do not feel like I am practical when it comes to money
The results from the Keirsey Temperament Sorter shows that I am an ISTJ. The word ISTJ stands for introverted, sensing, thinking, judging. Those mean that one enjoys quiet time typically alone such as relaxing on the couch reading a book. One also pays attention to facts or details when completing something such as building a project.

Most of the things that people associate with introverts are incorrect. Many misconceptions about introverts are very extreme while many introverted people only show some characteristics that may not be that noticeable. Most people think of the quiet kid who always sits in the back of class that never talks when they think of an introvert (Huang). While that may be true in some cases, most introverts can be very talkative if they are in company they feel comfortable with or if they are talking about a subject they have a strong opinion on. People also think that if a person is an introvert they don’t like working with other people (Christ).
I began this research with the intent on writing about introversion in the public school system. Being an introvert myself, I was encouraged to research this topic based on my experiences going through the public school system. Throughout school, I was constantly being reminded that I didn't fit into the mold that was set out for me. I saw how every student was forced to be very open and outgoing, and I watched as my friends and classmates failed because they couldn’t squeeze themselves into this expectation.
Mediators On the personality test that I took I received a score of INFP. INFP stands for Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Perception. This personality score is also called the “mediator.” The results state that mediators see the best in even the worst people.
According to (16 Personalities), ISFJ’s are personality types that are considered practical and dedicated as people with these traits are good at creating and maintain a secure and stable environment. Often times ISFJ’s feel their purpose is to help others and they get satisfaction from knowing that they are appreciated. Unfortunately, this does not always work out well for this personality trait, because people with lesser standards will usually take advantage of their weakness to say no. Nearly thirteen percent of the population share this personality type and they are typically found doing jobs or work such as medicine, academics, and charitable or social work.
The test also states that ISTJ personalities are frustrated when other parties fail to keep their commitments. I agree with this to the fullest extent, since one of my three values as stated earlier was loyalty. Loyalty is hard to come by and I hold that up high as something important that I give to others and expect in return. Personalities with sensing and judging are said to be traditionalists, and I am myself a traditionalist in every sense of the word.
