MBTI

When it comes to self-exploring, in fact, I don’t think that I understand myself very much. In order to seek my true self, I took some online personality tests as references. After finishing several tests, I think the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is the most accurate one. The result shows that I am the type of ISFJ, which refers to introversion, sensing, feeling, and, judging. I think I am obviously an introvert that I don’t feel comfortable when talking in front of a lot of people, and I seldom share my own ideas or feelings with others. Also, I am very shy, especially with strangers. When I am in an unfamiliar environment, I feel uncomfortable and have difficulties in talking with strangers actively. The result also shows that I am a sensing person that I focus on details when receiving information. Compared with abstract things, sensing person pays more attention on concrete things that we feel by sensory organs. We care about things that happen in present more than things that may occur in the future. The result also indicates that when making decisions, I prefer taking my own system of values and personal feelings in consideration, instead of taking account of objective criteria. In addition, the result points out that I deal with things in a judging way that I like to make plans in advance. I consider it’s true because I like to make to-do lists and do things step by step. In that way, I can be organized and structured when completing tasks.

After completing this test and reading the analysis carefully, I believe that I have understood myself better. Not only did I confirm that I am an introvert, who prefer to handle things in a judging way, but I also discovered that I have the personality of being sensing and feeling.
