Personality Traits And Character Analysis: The Advocate

Improved Essays
Have you ever wondered what your personality traits say about you? I have, so I took a personality test online from 16personalities.com and this test told me that I am an INFJ. The “I” stands for introverted, the NF stands for an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets me apart is my accompanying judging (J) trait. My personality type in known as “The Advocate.” My personality type is rare. It makes up less than one percent of the population, nonetheless leaves a mark on the world. According to the test “INFJs aren’t idle dreamers, but [they] take concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact” (16 personalities). An example of some personality traits that best describe me from the test are: soft-spoken, …show more content…
Living with my dad or even trying to talk to my dad is a prime example: he is constantly asking me questions like: “What did you just say,” “I didn’t hear you, say that again,” or even “Speak up, I can’t hear you.” I am a very quiet and soft-spoken individual. The only time my dad actually can hear what I am saying to him is when I yell, and I don’t like yelling or even talking in a loud voice. Needless to say my dad can’t hear a word I say and would rather text me than have a face to face conversation. Another prime example of my soft-spookiness is my freshman year of high school. When I was required to take speech, let’s just say I passed with a ‘D,’ the reason for this grade was my teacher (Mr. Hall) couldn’t hear me from a distance of fifteen feet away. An example of this is in my present day life would be when I try to make new friends, with having an introverted personality it is quiet hard for me to try to make new friends. It is extremely hard for me to connect with other people and when I do connect with other people I tend to stay friends with this person for a while. My friendship with people is almost like me leeching off of them because I tend to stay by them when we hangout and go to new places with a bunch of …show more content…
I am most defiantly a perfectionists, I have to have everything labeled, put where it needs to be put, on top of everything that comes my way, and even making sure other people are getting what they need to done. 16 personalities say “INFJs too often drop or ignore healthy and productive situations and relationships, always believing there might a better option down the road” I think I’d have to agree with this statement, I am constantly watching for a better option or a better thing to come my way because I believe there is always be a better choice; however, when you have what you have in front of you I think you should probably have whatever that is in a perfect state of matter for the time being until something else comes your way. Speaking of relationship and waiting for something better INFJs are picky about the people they bring into their lives even if it is only a temperately thing. However for myself I am a perfectionistic all the way up until the point where I withdraw from the world and everyone in

Never does the sole question of “why?” cross the mind of an INTJ, but rather, the question “why not?” INTJs are generally perfectionists who are absolutely unsparing with themselves but may “slack” in areas they have no interest in.…

    My character strengths were consistent with what I would have predicted. I did appreciate that this survey helped me to better understand myself and recognize how some of my personality characteristics were strengths. It was helpful to put words to these strengths and better understand each so I could begin to expand on these strengths and better apply them to my teaching. Alternatively, this exercise helped remind me that everyone has strengths and that I should remind myself to be patient when working on teams or when I am working with my students. I should not get frustrated with someone because they are not performing or acting how I would expect or want because it is likely more about their strengths and weaknesses, and not about them trying to upset me.…
