When I received my results I was an ENFJ. An ENFJ in a nutshell is a warm, compassionate, loyal, sociable, expressive, etc... To me this was no surprise, it was a very accurate represntation I thought. Granted I may not come off as this person initially. Some people would assume I was kind of a cold, and detached person just because of the first encounter. I don't tend to say a whole lot around people I don't know, but those who take the time to get to know me well will find that I'm a fun-loving person.
The one thing that surprised me the most is when I filled out my goals, because when I wrote down my ultimate goal at the bottom of the page it was that when they put me in the ground was for people to stand around and say that I gave it my best effort in life and I was a good person. This was after I even took the MBTI and now that I look at my goals and my results I can see that what I said would be typical of an ENFJ person.
I suppose over these past few years and this semester especially I have gotten more in touch with values, personal views, and my little quirks or characteristics, because they have become challenged, and since I'm out of my comfort zone I tend to stick closer to them, and try to surround myself with people who act the same way. The MBTI just enforces what I already believe, and personally I kind of thought it was nice to have the results written down and explained on paper instead of a test which just throws you in a percentage and leaves it at that.
I feel the same way about my extroversion as you do about yours. When I get into a group of people I don't know well, I tend to keep a little quieter and find my place around one or two of them before I can open up to the whole group. But once I do get to know everyone they tpically can't shut me up. I'm glad MBTI could reinforce your personal feelings about yourself!
ReplyDeleteI also felt my results matched my type of personality. For the most part anyway. It's good you're surrounding yourself with people that have the same values as you.
