MBTI Part Dos

ESFJ, these four letters accurately describe who I am and what my personality is like. This is the second time in a row that I got ESFJ. After the first part of the MBTI test I was quite sure that ESFJ is where I belonged.

E - Extraverted. I talk a lot. Its who I am and who I always will be. The first two letters talk about where you find your energy. Introverts find their energy from themselves and by thinking. While extroverts find their energy by the others around them. This describes me so well. I find motivation and my drive from everyone else, not from me. When in a group of people I am usually the one spurring on the conversation and keeping everyone involved. Unless I am feeling lazy, then I just don't care a whole lot. To paint the picture of how extraverted I am. For the past two tests I have been a 30 in extraverted and al of the facets were at a 5 for in-preference.

S - Sensing. Sensing is all about using your five senses to find your information. I am a very reliant on what I can see, smell and touch. It takes a lot of faith for me to believe something is true if I can't use my five senses to find truth in it. I also am very detail oriented. I tend to shy away from the big picture and just focus on the little things and how they affect the bigger things.

F - Feeling. Feeling is about how you make decisions and what factors go into those decisions.  I care about people as my main factors. If the decision that I make harms somebody or they don't agree with it then I will try as hard as I can to make it right with them or to settle whatever their doubts are. Compassion is a really big characteristic in my life. I love the feeling of being able to relate to people and being able to be compassionate and empathetic for them.

J - Judging. Judging and perceiving are how you interact with the outer world. I am 100% in the judging margin. I plan everything. From when to wake up, to what I am going to wear for that day. If something isn't planned that I start freaking out and don't feel comfortable at all. It is in my comfort zone to feel like I have everything in control and that nothing can go wrong.

So what does all of this mean and how does it help me lead a group? It lets me realize what I am good at and how I can use those in contrast with the strengths of my co-leader.
