Truths About Me

I guess it's good that I'm going into the nursing field because according to the Jung Typology Test(2013) and ISFJ Profile(2012), that is one of the best fields for my personality! I was really excited about this assignment because I have always wanted to take a personality test. In fact, I worked at a counseling center for a year and planned to do all of the psychological tests they had available but I never got a chance, I was too busy working. Oddly enough, had I done those tests, they would have told me that I'd never find time while at my place of employment because my personality wouldn't have allowed it! 

I am an ISFJ. This stands for Introvert-Sensing-Feeling-Judging. To tell you the truth, I was alarmed at how accurate the description of me was, based on so few questions. There are traits that I possess that I think will help me in this course. The primary example is taking ownership. It is true, I often have the mentality "If you want it done right, do it yourself". I don't do this consciously, I just worry a lot and it relieves my fretting if I just take over a project. That way I know it's done right and on time. Plus, if there is a problem with it, my overactive sense of responsibility will automatically pick up the blame so it might as well actually be my fault to begin with... 

The other result I really enjoyed reading was "ISFJs are methodical and accurate workers, often with very good memories and unexpected analytic abilities". It's nice to see that about myself in writing. I would guess that's due to another trait of mine where I don't seek to get credit for things because I believe I shouldn't want it. But I do. I enjoy being recognized. No, maybe not recognized, I enjoy being appreciated. A quiet pat on the back never hurt anyone. 

Overall, this was a great assignment. I truly enjoyed the writing portion of it because I really liked the subject matter. Maybe I should try to write about more things that affect me this way. Maybe, just maybe that would make me a better writer.
