The purpose of this project is to discover my “personality type” by taking the Myers-Briggs Personality test online and answer questions in conjunction with the textbook, Type Talk at Work. After the test is completed, this paper will be divided into two sections, Step 1 and Step 2. The information from this paper will include examples from my life and work to indicate the strengths and weaknesses of my personality based on the personality test.

While I do have friends, I can say that I have very few friends and I regard them as family members. I have always been careful who I open my heart to. I have about seven friends who I have known for many years, and I ended up marrying one of them. I also have a sense of loneliness even when I am around a group of people I know. Whatever situation I am in; I know how to change it up (from extrovert to introvert).
Weaknesses. While we all have different personality types and no one personality is better than the other. I can say that by being less extroverted people tend to judge me and therefore dislike me because they can’t read me, I’ve been told. People perceive me as being “stuck up”, which is not true. Since I am aware of this, I make sure to appear to be more friendly when around new people for the first time. After they get to know me, then I discretely slip back into my moments of being more
