Apparently I Have a Feeling Personality

When I took the Jung Typology Test I was not really surprised when it came back saying that the majority of my personality is feeling because lets face it- Im a pretty compassionate/ sympathetic person and student and those who know me will probably agree. I enjoy hearing about peoples problem and whats "got them down" so I can totally agree with that test. When it comes to writing, having a feeling personality, I guess that just means that I'm more into writing about people or problems? I like putting my opinion out there ,definitly, and I do enjoy writing about what is happening all over the place and put my feelings into that sort of thing. I hope that's what it means when it says that.
   When it said that I slightly expressed introvert I'm guessing that it meant I don't like putting myself in a situation where I'm around people or in a big group? Which is completely and utterly right. I hate crowds, I hate talking to other people unless I know them, I hate talking in front of people or leading a group. I have always been that way so as a student that effects me a great deal. I have always tried talking to people but I have anxiety attacks so I mainly try to stick with a smaller group. Talking to one or two people at a time I can handle; but not large groups. So as for that having anything to do with my writing- I dont really care for the dicussion group at this moment. I don't know the people in my class so I dont feel comfortable with them reading my stuff then telling me what I did wrong. Its one thing if it's my teacher doing that but when it comes to my peers I dont like having people telling me I should change this or change that. I dont know why I'm like that; but I am trying to get the hang of it so it doesnt bother me as much.
     Slightly judgmental, yes, but as a student I try not to be jugdemental openly and as a writer, well, like I said about the feelings part, I have my own opinion and I like to share it.
     Moderately sensing personalitiy pretty much sums it up; I dont always catch on with the whole sensing thing with people but then again I dont completley miss the picture. I think as a student thats a good thing, to be moderate, not everyone wants people to notice things about them and I'm fine with that. As a writer however, I think I could try to change that a wee bit considering that most writers have to sense out where a good topic will come from and actually pan out.
   I honestly dont know how this test would effect any of my writing, it basically told me things about myself that I already know. Maybe its telling me that I have to get more involved with the group discussion? Or maybe I just completely missed the picture with this assignment- Ha, go figure the sensing thing would let me down now!

  1. Interesting. What was your typology indicator? Introversion does not mean your personality, but the way you process the world. Can you related to any of that part of the explanation? ~Ms. A.
