Hello out there :)
So last night we had our first long class and a good one I might add. I love MBTI. Being a psych major and all I love personality tests and learning about myself and others through them. I am an ENFP and, as Debra put it, very comfortable in that classification. I was really excited to learn that we got to do the Step 2 reports which go a little further in depth. I only had a few outliers but I feel like they were pretty spot on.
Overall, it says ENFP's are typically enthusiastic innovators. They have a lot of imagination and initiative, and they are spontaneous and enjoy action. They dislike routine and become easily bored. They are concerned about people and understand others' needs and aspirations. I would say this description is VERY similar to my personality.
The outlier I feel that was most like me was the "questioning vs. accommodating". I was out of type and pretty clearly a questioner. I do ask LOTS of questions but I feel like they're necessary. I am a person who likes to know things, so when I don't know something I feel like asking someone is the obvious thing to do. I do realize that sometimes people do not appreciate the types of questions I ask or that I ask them at all, but I just feel like at the moment I need to know what I'm asking about. I feel like more often than not my tendency to be a questioner is positive, which is good since I plan on asking lots of questions in the future :)
I think my "perceiving" is probably the clearest of my preferences. The bullets for that preference are very descriptive of me. Some of my favorites were "believe a solution will emerge regardless of where you start" love being surprised and taking things as they come" and "dislike having too many plans with too many details". I have always described myself as a "fly by the seat of my pants" kinda girl, and clearly MBTI discovered that as well.
Sorry for the novel! Also discovered by MBTI was that I'm talkative (shocker). Hope everyone enjoyed MBTI as much as I did. Hope to see you all Friday at the Learning Communities Mini-Institute!

First of all I have 2 things.
ReplyDelete1.) I really like the look of your blog (background)!
2.) You like to talk?!? Who knew :)
I too, am a MBTI fan. I really enjoy reading the descriptions for all the traits and facets and nodding my head thinking, "yep that sounds just like me." I didn't realize until class that we had even taken a more in depth test. However, I did think it seemed a little longer than usual though. Well Miss Chelsee, I might see you Friday, but I should see you Saturday for sure!!
the new background is saweeeeeet huh? I love it :)
ReplyDeleteI will concur that MTBI is an extremely interesting topic. I think its great to learn about yourself and talk over all those traits and Anthony i agree this background is very pretty!
