My MBTI

My MBTI results were as follows: I (Introversion), S (Sensing), F (Feeling), and J (Judging). My results from this were not very surprising to me at all because when I read the definition in our booklet it matched my personality and thoughts exactly like they are right now.
My results were pretty much exactly like my current personality. This is because introversion means you are reflective and think before you speak which is just like me. Sensing is just like me because I don’t just blurt out stuff; I let my eyes work with my mind to come up with an educated answer so I don’t look like an idiot when I’m yelling an answer that is completely wrong. I use my heart when I come up with an answer to a situation and take everybody’s point of view and feelings into consideration. Finally Judging, I usually like to plan my day out to decide what I am going to do for the day. I am also very goal oriented which, to me, is a great attitude to have in life because if you don’t want to accomplish your goals you just waste your time.
What about my MBTI results surprised me?
I was a little bit surprised about the sensing part of my MBTI results. I thought I would be more towards the intuition end of the spectrum but when I read the definitions in the booklet we received during class I figured I was more towards the sensing and middle of the spectrum.
How do these results inform my self-awareness?
These results inform me that I am more likely to go with my preferred personality but I will change my personality traits depending on the situation. I now have more self-awareness of my personality traits after looking at my results and am very happy with the results. These results will help me decide which traits to use when I am working on a group project.
Were there aspects of my personality that I had not thought about?
I honestly thought that everybody always had the feeling personality trait because that seems like a very logical thing to me. Everybody has feelings so their feelings should always be considered when a decision is to be made but when I read about the thinking personality trait I was very surprised about its definition.
How do these results relate to my goals?
These results do not seem to relate to my goals very well because my goals, to me, seem very unsophisticated and simple. From my personality results I feel like I should have more in depth and thought through goals. Overall I love my personality just the way it is and hope that I don’t change it overtime.

  1. Matt,
    I thought it was interesting how you thought that your personality didn't match your goals. I like how well you seem to know yourself and how you don't want to change who you are. Being confident with how you are will help you know matter how "simple" your goals are. I really like how you take others opinions into consideration. That is a very helpful trait that will only benefit you. Really nice blog!
