My MBTI Experience

After taking the MBTI test i figured it was just a survey that they wanted us to take so they could learn more about us. But when I learned that it was actually geared towards us learning about ourselves I was kind of surprised. I assumed that I already knew everything about myself, (which is far from the truth), but after reading the results of the survey I realized I was wrong.

My results were E - Extraversion, S - Sensing, F - Feeling, and J - Judging. I didn't expect the results to be accurate, but they surprisingly were. First off I am extraverted. If you are around me for more than 5 minutes you start to realize that I like to talk a lot and I voice my opinion frequently. When they made us take a self evaluation before we saw our actual scores I put myself almost completely extraverted. But when I got my scores I realized that I was completely extraverted. So I pretty much already guessed what I was going to be for that letter.

The next letter is S for Sensing. With this one I feel like I could have been either and S or an N, I didn't really know exactly what I was. So I placed myself exactly in the middle between the two. When I got my results back I realized that I was barely an S. I can understand how I am an S, it actually helps me to realize how I gather information and what I can remember.

My third letter was F for Feeling. I put a lot of value into my relationships and friendships that I have. I work hard to preserve them and make sure that I am keeping everyone happy. I knew that I was going to be a F instead if a T.

My last letter was J. This one was completely obvious to me of what I was going to be. I keep 4 calendars and I make sure to plan out my time. When I don't plan it out I get distracted easily and I end up regretting how I used my time in the end. I was almost completely a J and I predicted that I would be that as well.

This test allowed me to learn more about myself and figure out my learning style and how I retain information. It also allowed me to be a better leader because now that I know how people act and how I can involve everyone that I am in charge of.

  1. Sam, from what I've learned about you in the little time that I've known you, you are exactly like your test results and mind says you are. You are a great and fun person to be around because of your all around great personality. I hope you continue to be the great person you currently are.

    1. Sam,
      This blog made me laugh because we practically have identical blogs, picture included! :) Great minds think alike! I truly understand why you need to be organized and why you value your relationships. Also, being a leader and keeping everyone happy is an important job. You are very confident with your personality and the way you make decisions. I hope that you always keep these traits!

  3. It was pretty obvious as soon as I met you that you were an extrovert. You're easy to get along with and have a conversation with. Your entire character it seems is open and it makes you easily approachable. I look forward to getting to know you better this year.
