MBTI Reflection

What I learned about myself through Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

My results showed that I am ESFJ. Meaning that I am extroverted and gain energy from outer influences, I sensing in regards to my perception, reason with feeling, and I take on a judging attitude rather than a perceiving attitude.

I am highly extroverted according to both the self-assessment and the results from the MBTI survey. I would agree fully with this statement. I focus more on people and things rather than ideas, concepts and my own thoughts. I have highly active to the point of being "fidgety" at times. I often talk before thinking and use trial and error processing rather than thinking and considering outcomes. I gain all my energy from outside sources. I cannot even study alone, which can be a hindrance at times.

I am moderately sensing, which does not surprise me because the differences between sensing and intuition confuse me. I would agree that I am more attentive to the present, but my practicality also pushes me to think of the future when making big decisions. I like the "step-by-step" processes and pay close attention for small facts or details.

I am moderately feeling which I would fully agree with. Under most circumstances I reason with my heart instead of my heart. The only times that seems to differ is when I know that the feels of my heart may cause conflict with others which I try to avoid at any cost. I am trusting, often too trusting. Even though I consider myself more pessimistic, I often trust people without knowing them well. I value "warmth" in relationships. I love to dive into deep discussions with people near the start of relationships.

I take on a judging attitude rather than a perceiving attitude. I am clearly judging according to the assessment.  I would agree almost 100%. I love being the planner or organizer. I make lists for everything, from who I want to meet up with throughout the week to homework. I am goal oriented and enjoy keeping a prayer and goal journal so that I can see the progress being made. Closure in all circumstances is important to me. I enjoy knowing when something is finished and that it was finished in a good manner.

As a whole, I agree completely with the overall description of ESFJ. I would consider myself warm and sympathetic. I try to be personal-able and approachable. I am conscientious and loyal, valuing security and stability. I am highly uncomfortable with conflict. Usually others see me as sociable, enthusiastic, energetic, organized, and traditional.
