Typology and Writing

The Jung Typology test gave me somewhat puzzling results. As the above picture shows, I got ENFJ, but almost all of the results were right in the middle or was just a marginal difference. That indicates, to me, that I am pretty balanced overall as far as introvert vs. extrovert, feeling vs. thinking, etc. I hope that is not an indicator I am boring though, since I am not firmly one way or the other! I do , however, agree with the results overall. For example, I enjoy being in social settings and in groups at times. It can be entertaining and fun and can cure loneliness. But, though I do not like the feeling of loneliness, I am also perfectly okay being alone, and even prefer it that way sometimes because I feel like I am able to be alone without feeling lonely. So, with that example especially, I believe I am definitely both an introvert and an extrovert speaking as a student. However as a writer, I would say I am more of an extrovert. My poetry is the rawest, most genuine, deep reflection of myself. Most of it is writing no one will see but me, so I have no reason to be introverted, censored, or shy. However as a writer, I do disagree with F (feeling) on the test results. My writing is much more fueled by feelings and emotion than by logical thinking, not just marginally so. Writing is a way of expressing myself and my feelings! As for judging vs. perceiving as a student, I judge more than I perceive because I prefer structure and making decisions early to promote organization and success. However as I writer, I perceive more because I like to leave my options open so that I can write freely and not feel constricted by guidelines. I feel that this test may assist me in college writing by giving me some outside insight on who I am as a person, and though the results do not define me, I can try and be more open when I write and hopefully discover myself along the way.

To all like me, juggling work, college, high school, and a social life
