Hey everyone, hope classes went well for everybody and everyone is keeping up on homework. Well this week in class we did the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, otherwise known as MBTI. In this survey it ask you a bunch of questions and from how you answer them it gives results telling about your personality. Although most of us have already done one of these, this one was step II which means it was the super cool one and was more in depth. Instead of just having your results come back in 4 different areas, now within each of the 4 areas was five more things per area. This meant for a more accurate reading of our personality. As we went through the report in class and got to see where everybody else was, I thought it was really cool not only because you learn a lot about every ones personality if you don't know them, but you also learn a lot about yourself and I think the focus was to learn more about yourself. Because if you don't know yourself and who you are, then how can you help others?
Now my results say I'm a ESTP (Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving), in the main summary it says and I quote "ESTP's try to make life fun and often enjoy material possessions as well as physical activity. Their attitude is that life is to be lived, not analyzed in depth, and thus they are not ones to sit still. They focus on the here and now" end quote. When I read that, I thought that was hitting my personality right on the head which is really cool. Along with other things it goes on to say I'm gregarious (pronounced greg-a-rous, just in cause everyone was wondering), enthusiastic, traditional, concrete, tough, spontaneous, casual, and others. I thought this was a really cool thing and can be used to help us better understand ourselves and how we can best help others in the future. Well that's all for now, hope everyone has a good week.
Cory out
You have a lot of the same qualities as I do. I am also gregarious, Maybe that's why my name is Greg....
ReplyDeleteCory, i thought it was cool to see how we are both ESTP's but we really arent that alike. That is why the 5 sub categories came in handy, so we can see where we exactly differ.
ReplyDeleteStay classy Cory, I'm Nick Brim?
Cory, just from the little bit that I know you I feel like that MBTI pegged you pretty good. I definitely agree that you need to know about yourself before you can really help others. With that said, I'm sure you wont have too much trouble in getting to know the freshmen next fall
