No Two People Person Analysis

It is said that no two people are the same. That is why Isabel Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, wanted individuals to grow up understanding and appreciating their individual differences in their personalities ("Isabel Briggs Myers.”). Through their efforts, following the principles of Carl Jung, they were able to develop sixteen types of personalities and a test that will allow you to see which personality you may have and why. After taking this test myself, I was able to see that I had the personality type of ISTJ, also known as “The Inspector”. In a book written by Lance Owens, it was stated that Carl Jung “pointed out that general attitude [personality] types are differentiated by their particular attitude towards an object or feeling.” …show more content…
According to the webpage About Health, an introvert is defined as “being focused more on internal thoughts, feelings and moods rather than seeking out external stimulation.” This has been very true throughout my life. The more I think about it, the more I realize how much more focused I have been on my internal thoughts and feelings throughout life. Much more so than that of an extrovert, who would be considered a people person. Am I a people person? Sure, in some ways I would consider myself one, but for the most part I find that being alone sometimes is better for me than going out to a party or something along those lines. The article, What is Introversion, stated that “introverts tend to be more quiet, reserved, and introspective. Unlike extraverts who gain energy from social interaction, introverts have to expend energy in social situations. After attending a party or spending time in a large group of people, introverts often feel a need to "recharge" by spending a period of time alone.” This just goes hand-in-hand with why I enjoy being alone and consider myself much more of an introvert than an extrovert. I do tend to be more quiet and reserved. I can also say that typically after I attend a big function for work or a party, I do set some time aside for myself afterwards to help …show more content…
When it comes to the personality of ISTJ, there were plenty of careers that were very appealing. One particular career that stood out for me was a physician. A physician can translate into many different particular career fields, but the main one that I saw was being an Anesthesiologist. Believe it or not, when I was a sophomore or junior in high school that exact career was the one that I wanted to grow up and do, and to this very day it still is the very career I want to do. Anesthesiologist administer drugs (anesthetics) that reduce or eliminate the sensation of pain during an operation or procedure. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “[anesthesiologist] are responsible for adjusting the amount of anesthetic as needed and monitoring the patient 's heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and breathing. […] Anesthesiologists work with other physicians and surgeons to decide on treatments and procedures before, during, and after surgery.” The last portion of that just goes hand-in-hand with the type of structure that I enjoy in my life. Also according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 2014 median pay was $187,200 per year or $90.00 per hour with a Doctoral degree required. If the money alone doesn’t make this occupation appealing, then what could make it appealing would be the satisfaction of dealing and

    In today’s society, young children are frequently encouraged to be social and outgoing, and quiet kids are less prized than their talkative peers. Susan Cain, the author of the bestselling book ‘Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking,’ mentions her experience of a summer camp when she was nine at the beginning of her TED speech. Her mother prepared her some books to read during the camp, and she says that it was so natural for her, because reading books was the most popular group activity in her family and it was their way of being ‘social.’ Her family members could enjoy being with their loved ones, as well as roaming around their own thoughts at the same time. So she expected to be with other girls reading books…
