For the second post on our blog, we are supposed to reflect and respond to our test results from the Jung Typology test. Here we go.
It was very surreal for me to see my personality being broken down like that detail by detail. I've always known that I was an introvert and a people watcher, but I never reflected on the whys. My typology test says that I am an INFJ (introvert, intuitive, feeling, judging) personality type and that I tend to be empathic rather than analytical. I strive to change the world through feelings and internal conflicts. Integrity in very important to me.
This test did shed some insight on my writing style and reading preferences. I tend to lean toward poetry in my writing. This fits my personality type because, I think, poetry takes a lot if internal processing and comparing. You have to feel poetry to truly appreciate it in my opinion. My reading styles tend to run more towards the epic fiction works of the last fifty years. I enjoy reading into the massive emotional conflicts that take place in a work of fiction.
I did enjoy getting the insight into school and my personality type. It actually explained a couple of things foe me. I've struggled with this class since day one for what I thought were various reasons. Since taking this test I seem to think my difficulties are because I feel the need to feed off of the other emotions in my class. By working in an online environment, I don't get the actions and reactions I normally need. And for me personally I'm not one for randomly conversing with new people. Quite the quandary.
So in summary, I tend to agree with the typology test. It seemed to fit me perfectly whether it be in work or school. I only disagree with a few statements, but only because I don't really want to agree with them not because they're untrue.
David - Good. Do not forget to be specific. How do the indicators compare? How do they assist or hinder you as a writer and a student. Push to show rather than tell in reflective writing.
