MBTI Scores

In lecture, when I filled out the sheet of my MBTI scores, I was very surprised to have matched directly with the scores I had received in the summer before coming to school. I enjoyed the activity, and it really reinforced my personality, how I study, and how I live mye life. After reviewing the descriptiong of the type of MBTI profile I was, I found that it was a true fit to how I perceive myself and also how others perceive my attitudes. I was categorized as ENFP which stands for extraversion, intuition, feeling, and perceiving.

My ENFP snapshot described me as curious, creative, and imaginative. I believe those are some of my best and strongest qualities. I discussed these characteristics with my cousins and they agreed that my profile fit me perfectly. I think that's so cool how it really can match someone's personailty so well just by how I answered a few questions. I found that I was very strong in my extraversion category and had a PCI result of 30 in the area. The other categories, intuition, feeling, and perceiving, weren't quite as strong but were still apparent in my tendency of handling situations.

After further looking into my results from the MBTI scores, I found that the paragraph and bullet points of adjectives of one in the ENFP group was exactly how I would explain myself to someone else. I think these characteristics correlate to the goals I have set for myself here at Iowa State as well as throughout the rest of my life. I feel like since the type of studying I do that comes along with this type of MBTI is what makes me successful in my academics. I make my work light and playful. I do crack down when I need to, but for the most part I am optimistic. My positive outlook and enthusiasm I believe is crucial to how I will be successful in my life and carryout the accomplishments I hope to achieve in life such as being a mentor and having great relationships with those I love.

Most importantly, through this exercise I have seen things about myself I didn't really notice before. I have seen emphasis on characteristics that I hadn't paid much attention or given much credit to myself. In the last couple weeks, the loads of homework and juggling a million other things I've seen my belief of overcoming obstacles, helping others stay positive, and being a free, flexible human being. I think these are traits others see in me, but some that I never really labeled myself as. I am really appreciative of this exercise for that reason.

Overall, this activity was successful, in my opinion. I thought it taught me a lot about who I am and how I function on a day to day basis. I also liked how accurate it was on not only myself but on others I had participate in the MBTI assessment.
