MBTI Reflection

When I first started reading my MBTI results I was surpised to see how right it was about my preferences and the way I react and go about my everyday life. My MBTI type came out to be ENFP which is extraversion, intuition, feeling, and percieving.

As previously said I prefer extroversion which I feel for the most part is right. It says I have a clear preference for being extraverted, yet between being enthusiastic or quiet it says I tend to be more calm, enjoy solitude, and seek background. I strongly agree with what it says because I like to be apart of things, but I also enjoy being by myself every once in a while.

Between sensing and intuition I am an N, which is focusing on perceiving patterns and interrelationships reather than focusing on what can be perceived by the five senses. Rather than having exact facts, I believe I'm extremely abstract. I like to see the big picture instead of having 100 little facts about something. It says that I may find it hard to identify the evidence for my ideas which I believe is exactly right about myself. When I have an idea for something or try to explain why I did something the way Idid its sometimes hard for me to give an explanation, I just do it. It also says I am imaginative, which I think is pretty neat because I like to try new things at least once just for the sake of change.

My MBTI told me that I prefer feeling over thinking. I believe this is exactly right because I always try to get everyone's input about a certain issue. For example, if we were working on a group project I like to make sure everyone is happy with what part of the project they are doing and how they feel about doing it. I am a questioner, which is out of preference between thinkin and feeling, but I feel this is right as well. Again, if we were working a a group project and no one else is giving their thoughts about something I start asking questions to see how they feel and what they think should be done about a certain issue.

I am a P, which is percieving rather than judging. This is also right for me because I prefer flexibility and spontaneity instead of having set plans. My results ended up being in the midzone for many of the areas betweein thinking and percieving. I also feel as though this is correct because I like to have a list of things to get done by such a time, but theres no actual set order of how, when, or where I'm going to do it. I am far out of prefernce between being pressure-prompted and early starting. I like to get an early start on things so I can be more flexible in the future instead of having to work on something right before its due. Over the last year though I have seen myself becoming more and more pressure prompted which could explain my preference for percieving rather than judging.

I enjoyed reading the MBTI interpetive report and was surprised at how much information this test can give about a person just by the way they answer questions. Not only does it get your in preference picks, but it also shows when your out of preference. Reading over the communication styles, change management styles and conflict management styles was really cool to see. Reading over those pages can tell a lot about a person and how they manage things in their everyday life. Not only do they give your style, but it tells stuff about yourself that you sometimes don't even know you're doing. Overall it is definitely for the most part right on the dot.
