Hello everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying the third week of school. I thought this weeks class was really enjoyable. I learned a lot about myself and my personality type which I thought was really neat. When we did the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator as freshmen, I got ENFP. This year I was suprised to get the same thing. I assumed as a year passed and I transitioned to college I might have changed the ways I think and go about situations, but just goes to show changing someones personality is at most, impossible.93 I thought it was hard to believe how much this report goes in to depth of our preferences and choices just from our answers especially since some of our answers consisted of just choosing one word from the two words provided. I thought the type indicator was even precise in the way they broke each category down into even more sub-categories showing whether they were in-preference or out-of-preference. In almost each one I had an out-of-preference or midzone facet that which I believed was almost right each time.187
Before class I was excited to see my results along with everyone else's and the types of personalities that I may possibly be mentoring with next fall. I thought it was cool to see how different the clarity of preferences were for some people especially Debra. It seem like every one of her preferences in the type indicator were very clear or at least clear, unlike mine which all but one were in the slight clear area. I enjoyed the class activities and like hearing everyone's reaction towards the questions. It appeared as though all of the individuals in the same groups had the same outlooks on each question. I also got the notion that all the groups went about each question differently, especially the judging and percieving section with the early starters and the pressure prompted groups. This week was really fun and enjoyed learning about myself and everyone else in the class. See you next week.

The one thing I think Debra really didn't mention was, these are our preferences. This doesn't mean that we only do things one way. I too had some facets that were in the middle, a couple were even 0. However, I perceive it to mean you are very flexible in that area. You are willing to things in either way depending on the situation. I think, for some of the facets, it is nice to know that you don't go completely to one side.
ReplyDeleteIt is true how different people can be even when they fall into the same type. You and I are both ENFP's, yet from what I've observed in class I would say we are both quite different people. Even though we have similar preferences for how we like to do things, that doesn't mean we necessarily have the same personalities. I agree that it is really fun to see what MBTI can teach you about yourself and others though.
ReplyDeleteJosh,
ReplyDeleteI was also excited to see my results to see if they changed, mine did change slightly so I can't really say my actual personality has changed. I also thought it was weird how much my results really seemed just like me, due to the fact we did mostly pick between two words. I think its peculiar that though your preferences were not very clear they still matched your preferences of last time. See you in class Tuesday.
I agree when you say that some people's results to their personality analyzation seem to be all in one direction or the other. Mine seem to always be somewhere in the middle. I found very rare occurances where my score favored one side greater to the other. There were only margianal differences. Strange how a person can be so close to being two different personality types!
ReplyDeleteI also agree. I was in the middle a lot as well. I agree with Anthony that it means we are more flexible, or with me it was that depending on the situation I can go either way. I did change however, not that much though. My facets showed that. See you on Tuesday!
