Myers-Briggs-Week 3

Although this is not the first time that I have done the Myers-Briggs, I still find myself intrigued by the outcome. I also like that this test went much deeper than the ones I have done in the past. The overall test seemed almost weird to me. Some of the questions were…let’s say different. It is amazing how much you can learn about yourself by the answer to a question like soft or hard? Wow.

As usual I tested as and extravert, but unlike the previous time, this time I am not clearly an extravert. I am actually in the moderate zone. In the facets I am in the midzone for gregarious. I can see that. I like the way it say I “like large-group activities or one-on-one conversations at different times”. That pretty much nails it. It just depends on where I am and what it’s for. I am reserved and outgoing depending on the time. I am also out of preference by being reflective. I agree. Not much else to say. I like to think about what I have done and how it works or how it will help me. Overall I think that I am shifting a little in my preference. I find myself acting differently in different situations.

I am in the sensing side. I have 2 facets in the midzone, 2 in the preference, and one out. My favorite part of this one is in the description of concrete-abstract, it says, “ may get stuck on a fact when under pressure and have difficulty seeing the larger context”. It bothers so much in class when I don’t understand how the professor did something and I get stuck on trying to figure it out and miss the rest of the problem. I just thought it was funny. I also liked the activity we did in class on this facet. It was really cool to hear what others saw in the picture and how they reacted to it.

Before I tested as an ESTJ, but I also know that I was on the borderline of the T and the F. Now I have slightly shifted to the feeling side. For me this makes since that I would shift back and forth, but it is made clearer by the facets. I am not in the preference of feeling for any of the facets. I am actually out of the preference for logical vs empathetic, but I am shifted to the preference on the compassionate, accepting, and tender facets. Weird huh? I don’t think I completely agree with some of the descriptions. I guess that is what comes from being on the line.

No question on being in the judging. I like to be scheduled, I like to plan, and I like to start early when I can.

Wow I did not mean to write that much about my preferences. I would keep going with the rest of the packet, but I just think in my head and save you the pain.
