Typology and Writing

I took the Jung Typology Test with a result of ISFJ. ISFJ stands for introvert, sensing, feeling, and judging. This test gives you a percentage of each of these 4 parts. My percentages are below:

Introvert 22%

Sensing 12%

Feeling 50%

Judging 78%

For the most part I agree with my test response. When reading through my explanation, I realized that most things listed applied to me. There were a few however, that didn’t apply with me. I am ok with that though, because I am not meant to fit completely into the “mold” of a certain type. These tests describe humans very well, but they can’t describe someone “to a T” because we are all unique.

When it comes to school and writing, it was interesting to read what my type responses were. This is my first semester of college, so I am not entirely sure yet how I do things. I do remember how I was in high school though. I graduated in 2007, so it wasn’t too long ago. I know that I like information to be clearly communicated, regardless of what I am doing. This also applies to work or even in my personal life. I absolutely hate not getting information that is clear to understand. I also study better on my own. I don’t mind studying in groups, and will do so, but I learn more when I study by myself. If I study with a group, I will go home and study by myself also.

One point that I highly disagreed with was an interest in historical fiction. I have never enjoyed history, regardless of age or school grade level. I could barely pass history in high school because it bored me so much. At that time though, I was more immature and didn't make myself do the work and studying needed even though I hated history. Now that I am older, I know that regardless of topic or class, I must do anything required and study in order to do well. Another point that I didn't agree with was trying new writing processes. I am always willing to try new things in school, I just want to learn as much as possible about them first. When I am assigned a process, I research it first before doing anything else.

I do have an issue with self confidence, and am very rarely confident in any of my abilities. This point also applies to every other part of my life. In my parenting, how I am as a spouse, as an employee, or as a person. This point bothers me quite frequently. As I get older, I try harder and harder to fight that thought away, and I am getting better at being more positive, but it takes a lot of time, and a lot of practice. The worst times for me at being more confident are when I am very tired or trying to do too much at one time.

In high school I was a procrastinator, but not much since then. I got married a few months after I graduated from high school, and then became pregnant 6 months after our wedding day. I had to mature and grow up very quickly so I could be an adequate parent. From that time on, I haven’t really procrastinated. I know that I need to use my time wisely and get things done as they come along instead of putting them on hold. I don’t like things to add up and have more and more to do that hasn't been done.

All in all, I think it was a good assessment tool to determine more about myself. I would actually like to do a more in depth test in the future, but this was a great result for now.
