Typology Test

     Listen to this! I just took the Jung Typology Test, which is a personality assessment test. I always thought those things were bogus, but it turns out they are pretty accurate. I took the seventy-something question quiz, and was amazed at how my results were dead on with my own personality. There was one thing that I didn’t agree with but for the most part the results were right on.

     The type of personality I am is Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging (ISFJs). They are shy, quiet individuals that work hard and are so worried about perfection that they aren’t willing to delegate any of their responsibilities; they love routines and clear instructions. When it comes to writing they don’t like new writing techniques, and before they ever start writing they do their research and map out what they’re going to write. All of this is ME! I don’t like to get out of my comfort zone, and if I do I have to do my best to feel in control. I have to make a plan before I ever begin on what I’m going to write. I think this makes for a very uptight writer. After reading how routine and uptight of a person I am, I realize this directly reflects me as a writer. Another downfall to my personality is lack of confidence. Even though I work hard at everything, I worry that it’s not good enough, or it’s going to disappoint someone. When it comes to writing I never want anyone else to read what I’ve wrote (except for the teachers or course) because I don’t feel it’s good. As I writer I know I need to get more confident and be a little more relaxed. This personality test just confirmed it for me. I’ve learned that I need to more laid back and go with the flow; I need to write what feels good.

     Even though this personality test was eerily similar to my own personality, there were still one thing I didn’t feel described me. ISFJs tend to feel unappreciated and often are unappreciated by their family, friends, and co-workers. I don’t feel that way. Most of the people in my life appreciate the thing I do for them.  I’m also very aware when someone is trying to use me and I’ll speak up, where as ISFJs do not. This assessment kind of makes me sound like I’m a pushover, but I am far from it.
