Reflection of My ISTJ Personality Results.
The Myer-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) can be defined as a hypothetically fashioned personality test, especially on the theory of psychology test. Carl Jung mostly developed the theory at the beginning of the 19th century (Rickles et al., 2021). In this case, Jung distinguished the difference between introversion, reflected as an individual’s focus on their inner world. On the other hand, extroversion was reflected as personal concertation with the outside world. Furthermore, Jung defined that we can discover and experience the world through four major ways: Intuition, sensing, feeling and finally, thinking. In this case, sensing is an act of gaining knowledge via sight, touch, hearing and the rest of the human senses. Intuition means understanding inferences and experience and thinking concerning abstract thinking and reasoning. In the reflection of this test, Jung argued that most people need to strive to achieve a balance of the four modes.
Briggs and Myers were mostly fascinated by Jung’s theory based on psychological types. This theory was recognized worldwide, especially during the first and Second World Wars. Basing this reflection, the researchers began developing an indicator that could be utilized to understand personal differences. Through helping different people to understand themselves, Briggs and Myers understood that they could assist people select their occupations that were best suited to their personality and talent, thus contributing to achieving happier and healthier lives.
Based on the response of the test, most people are identified to have more than sixteen personality types which may differ according to occupation availability (Hancock et al., 2018). The objective of the MBTI is to enable people to respond and understand their personalities and explore their preferences such as strengths, weaknesses, dislikes, and likes ad compatibility with their friends. According to this test, there is no ‘better; or ‘best’ personality. Additionally, it is not a tool designed to look for people’s abnormality or dysfunction; however, its objective is to assist or help people learn themselves. My results came in as two people, ESFJ and ENFJ. According to 16 Personalities, the ESFJ is the “Consul.” In high school, they are soccer players, cheerleader fans, student council members or, in other words, a popular crowd. Extraversion was E, which I got in the Big Five test, and I also said I speak. I like to talk a lot, but I get in the mood to focus fully when it comes to doing my homework. The sensor was S, basically structured and realistic. Sensors, as opposed to Intuitions, are all about the daily organizer. They want to finish what needs to be done, but facts have been.
The feeling was F, the sense of making decisions based on emotions. It’s all about Intuition. Judgment was J, with something he did. There has always been one person who changes everything in previous team tournaments without telling the team; I don’t like these people. We should stick to the system rather than flow when we think of something. My dual personality was ENFJ. According to 16 Personalities, “The Protagonist.” People with ENFJ are born to be leaders, politicians, coaches and teachers, reaching out and inspiring others to benefit and do well in the world. Three of the four symbols on the ENFJ were in my first human form, the other being Intuition. People with this feature often choose speed but in-depth information.
