MBTI

Going over our MBTI results is always something I look forward to in Hixson. It must be the psychology nerd in me. Getting the detailed report last spring was really exciting because it gave me a lot more insight into my preferences and tendencies than the previous reports. I enjoyed how each category was broken down even further and how it showed that sometimes we do things that do not totally fit into our normal preferences.

I think what I learned the most about myself this time around through MBTI is how I have evolved throughout my college career and how my preferences have become more set than they were as a freshman. My preference for being pressure-prompted I think started out from not having to work very hard at school work in high school and being able to easily put something off until last minute and still pull it off. But I think over my college career it has morphed into being my most productive time because my distractions are limited and my head is more in the game than before.

I also have realized that even though I have a tendency to act in certain ways, that doesn't mean I always do things in these ways. As an ENFP, some of my tendencies are said to be not paying attention to details or being late, but these actually rarely describe me. I am almost never late because I think it is rude and impolite to others, and I pay a lot of attention to details to make sure I have done everything properly and to minimize issues that may occur by not thinking about the details of the situation.

All in all, MBTI continues to teach me about myself and helps me discover how to make my preferences work for me.
