“We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die” (Camus, n.d.). As a habit that all humans possess, categorizing and labeling each other into certain, specific groups is a social trait that helps us comprehend certain things better, helps us explain what makes each other tick. Personality is an enigma that is always changing and evolving as a person ages, but never truly dies until that person does. It is simple yet complex. Solid yet flexible enough to be able to change with the snap of a finger, if one so wishes. Most will say that personality is what defines us; it is who we are as a person that makes us just that: a person. In an attempt to organize personalities into specific categories,

For the most part, I already knew before taking the test what my answers were most likely going to be. For example, the trait with the biggest percentage was Introvert. I could already tell you, along with almost anyone that knows me well, that I am extremely introverted. Like it entails, I prefer solitude and keeping to myself over engaging in conversations with large groups of people or partying all the time. However, that does not mean I am a total recluse. It just means that when I do actually partake in these social activities, I need a few days “off” to regenerate and “recharge” myself, as being social is slightly draining. According to Butt and Heiss (2016), one of the biggest traits of an ISFJ type is the “desire to serve others, needing to be needed”. We thrive on the responsibility of taking care of someone and that feeling of dependency. When it comes to relationships, families are the epicenter of an ISFJ’s life. Although non-confrontational, we will fight for them and die for them. As far as friendships, ISFJ’s like to keep small but close units, as we are uncomfortable in large numbers, but value the loyalty and closeness of true friends. In a business setting, ISFJ’s are methodical and accurate with their work, with “unexpected analytic abilities” (Butt & Heiss, 2016). Because we are uncomfortable with supervisory roles, some jobs that would suit an ISFJ …show more content…
For the sake of this paper, we shall call my opposite Chad. As an ENTP, Chad is clever, loves to argue, and according to Butt and Heiss, is the “Devil’s Advocate” type (2016). ENTP’s are fans of challenging puzzles, both in work and personal settings. However, once the challenge has gotten old or the puzzle has been solved, this type tends to move on and replace said puzzle. Ones who know Chad know that he is an optimist. However, because of this optimism, Chad quickly becomes fretful when it comes to small setbacks-large ones are just looked at as challenges. Because they think highly of themselves and their own mind, ENTP’s have very little patience for those possessing less intelligence. If one wants to communicate with Chad, it is best to just be straightforward. Playing games will just result in a loss as Chad looks at games like anything else: a challenge. When it comes to friends, Chad likes to associate with those of the same temperament and similar interests, and like ISFJ’s, bonds very closely with loved ones. Some other obvious traits of ENTP’s are: “alert, outspoken, good at reading people, and bored with routine” (CPP. Inc., n.d.). In a work setting, Chad prefers to focus on the future rather than immediate details, and because of his focus on the “big picture”, Chad has a habit of starting projects but never really finishing them. ENTP’s are very
