The areas that they said were accurate I mostly agreed to. When we talked about the specific details of what they thought were most accurate, these included the live and let live attitude, sensitive to others and fiercely independent. At first I didn't agree that I had a live and let live kind of attitude, sensitive to others or fiercly independent. After talking with both of them for a while, my friend explained that over the past 6 months she's known me she hasn't seen me get overly worked up over anything. She also mentioned how, while I'm not debilitatingly sensitive to others I'm not blind to peoples struggles when I see them. Nor have I been known to rely on others for a lot, I'm not violently independent but I can usually take care of myself pretty well. Consequently, I realised that this personality type is much more accurate than I first thought. When I genuinelly thought about it, I don't often voice my opinion unless asked, also don't force my way on anyone but can be passionate about specific topics. I'm not usually upset unless it's about something very specific , can generally tell other peoples problems and can be rather …show more content…
My friend however, said the same as my mom but didn't think that I had problems with long term commitments. Personally, I dont think I'm overly competitive or have money problems although I do think I have a problem with long term relationships and It was a eye opening experience when we talked about them. The reason for this is that based on past experiences from long term commitments I don't believe I'm good at them.
I proposed that even though INFPs are good at self expressions and enjoy doing so, I'm not usually good at expressing myself outside of work and assignments. My mom made the excellent point that if I express myself through my work then perhaps I shouldn't push myself to the point of expressing through everything.
I asked them if they would change anything about my personality and both of them said that they generally liked my personality and would only change the tendency to get overwhelmed easily and fluctuating self esteem. I would also change these and be able to handle stress and criticism more constructively and

    The way we are usually goes hand in hand with the environment we find/found ourselves in, such as the environment we grew up in. Most of us are familiar with horoscopes and we’ve most likely read the descriptions under our zodiac signs to see if what it says matches us, some descriptions are scarily accurate and some are just out of proportion. Similar to horoscopes, the Hexaco personality test had some spot on descriptions on how I am, but it had some that I strongly disagree with. I grew up in a very free and sociable environment in Mexico. I lived in a ranch with a small amount of population, and I knew most of them by the age of three.…

    INFP Personality Types

    This type indicates that my personality exhibits strength of character in regards to stability and assertiveness while simultaneously being good-natured and trustworthy. INFP individuals “are more productive when the effort [invested] reflects some ideal or service;” for instance, by adding some sort of altruistic aspect to otherwise meaningless work, this action can motivate INFP personality types (Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge, 2002, p. 340). As far as values and attitude insight, I am reserved and creative, a combination which allows for problem-solving and innovativeness. When looking at what motivates me, I found that I am nearly equal within the three needs, namely growth, relatedness, and existence; this score is likely due to my being at a point in my life where I want to increase my skillset, form new social relationships, and find a job within my new community. As far as the decision-making process, I have a high level of faith in people; as I have a creative mind, I am able to look at problems and find innovative ways to solve these.…
