Personality Test

Personality Test

INFJ

     My personality is INFJ, Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging. For the introvert section I like to be alone in order to recharge. Being intuitive means I think of the future more than the present and am able to come up with new ideas. Feeling refers to how I make decisions based on feelings of myself and others over logic and fact. Judging means I try to plan and get details to sort everything out for the future. One person I share personality type with is Martin Van Buren, a previous American president.

     This is very accurate to me. Personally I can't be around people for too long without getting stressed and tired. While this doesn't mean I can't communicate or I don't like people, this just means sometimes I just would prefer to be alone. One thing that isn't completely accurate is the feeling portion. I do rely on feelings in many decisions however I do take all the facts into consideration before making any choices.

     I don't think a person needs this test to understand why they gravitate towards certain things. Personality doesn't always affect what you want to do. Personality is decided upon by your upbringing and partially by your genes as determined through certain experiments. While this does explain certain traits like my ability to understand and sympathize with people at an extreme level, even if they don't exist, which at some points can get in my way of doing things.

     My introversion causes me in a group environment to be quieter and in less of a leader role. I am capable of leading and sometimes do step out of my comfort zone to make sure everybody is getting things done. Usually though, I try to stay out of the spotlight. When I do stay quiet things usually go worse than if I speak up. I get more and more annoyed at everything the people who are leading do but still I stay quiet. However if I do speak up it's usually because everybody else is also quiet and I feel the need to try to make everything less awkward and get others involved.

     Well, I have a tendency to see the worst possible outcome of certain situations and this causes fear that can influence my actions. Most other people don't get why I act this way or just can't seem to bring myself to do certain things, such as do anything that might possibly be slightly against the rules or do anything that could be dangerous. This fear also affects me when I worry that a horrible outcome will occur for somebody else, thus at some points it might seem like I'm very worried about somebody for no visible reason.

We also took the LOGB (Lion, otter, golden retriever, beaver) test. I ended up with the results of golden retriever, which says I'm good at making friends, loyal, sensitive, caring, secure, and have no more than a couple friends. I'd had to disagree with the first statement as I am not skilled in gaining friendship with people as I sometimes don't have enough confidence to actually try to communicate with an attempt at friendship. Truthfully, the rest is accurate. Once I do become friends with somebody I do feel very loyal and caring to them.

Through this I learned a bit about myself that I hadn't quite realized before. I could have continued to live without these explanations, but it's kind of neat to know.
