Why I Want To Be An Intj

Improved Essays
I’m sure you’re wondering why my title is declaring that I’m an ISFP and not an INTJ since many tests I’ve taken so far through the years have confirmed that I’m an ISFP, but for the first time ever did I get INTJ which I think I can explain why. I’m almost 39 and have through the years unknowingly work on what we are learning as emotional intelligence through changing various aspects of my personality traits that I and others have considered as negative. I think because I have been studying math and doing math homework all day I have actually slightly tipped myself to the INTJ scale with Humanmetrics Jung Typology giving me Introvert (41%), iNtuitive (3%), Thinking (1%) and Judging (9%) which as you can see besides Introvert scoring so high, …show more content…
I’m shy and don’t want to be the center of attention and enjoy being alone and working alone, I’m passionate because I don’t form long detailed plans but enjoy whatever has my attention at the moment. I do strongly care about people feelings and reactions and don’t like to judge people or be judged and because of that being not judging, people feel relaxed around me and we can usually talk about anything.

I still remember one defining moment that is seared in my mind when I lost constantly to my little brother in checkers and I threw my checker set across the room in anger, my father’s words stuck in my mind because his remark was that I’m only hurting myself since it is mine checker set that I threw across the room. This memory of mine shows you how competitive I am and also how sensitive I am to criticism that I actually vowed to change my short temper ever since be more in controlled of my feelings or emotions and not be controlled or driven by …show more content…
I cannot lead and in fact loath to lead in anything from groups sports or being assigned to lead any kind of groups for projects or collaboration, I really hate to tell what others to do and sense that they are unhappy with me when I give them an order that I rather do everything myself. I’m definitely not a strategic thinker, because I can never play chess at all, I know rules, but I never have any strategy in my mind and just react, I’m in awe when I see people play chess and they are thinking many moves ahead with many possibilities which I certainly do not have in me and I’ve tried for years. I also have terrible self-confidence especially in a group setting, where I do not believe that I know anything better than the next person, so I know I’m very different from an ENTJ which is indeed my opposite in thinking and

    The Myers-Briggs Test Indicator, or the MBTI, is a self-inventory designed to identify a person’s personality type, strengths, and preferences (Cherry, N/A). A woman named Isabel Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, composed this list of questions based on their work with a psychoanalytic psychologist, Carl Jung’s, theories on personality types (Cherry, N/A).

    After taking a test I learned my Myers-Briggs Type was Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and Perception (ISFP). I am actually glad I had taken the test because I think ISFP really fits me, which is great because when I was filling in the blanks I was worried I was not answering truthfully. I think knowing my Myers-Briggs has help me to figure why I study a certain way and why I’m more likely to enjoy certain subjects in school. While I couldn’t relate to everything that goes with being an ISFP for the most part it was accurate. I did know before taking the Myer-Briggs test that I was an introvert…
