Enneagram of Personality

My website results gave me that I was “The Logistician.” I am the ISTJ personality which stands for Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. My results said that I was 51 percent introvert, 51 percent sensing, 72 percent thinking, and 51 percent judging. I am on the line of being other personalities, seeing that three of my results were 51 percent. I think that it is true, though, I am introverted around other people that I don’t know but if I am around people I know, but I can keep up a…

According to Dictionary Reference, the definition of a leader is "a person or thing that leads." To me, a leader goes above and beyond that definition. A leader is put in a position of leadership because they are respected and trusted to do the right thing for their community, or in our case, team. As a coxswain for the rowing team, I understand the pressure that a leader has to deal with. A coxswain is a leader for their boat and they are trusted to make the right decision for that boat. It is…

Defining Psychobiography: Psychohistory can be divided into two distinct branches, psychobiography which deals with the study of individuals; and group psychohistory which deals with the psychological characteristics of groups such as the Nazi youth cohort, American slaves, or Hiroshima survivors (Lifton 1967; Loewenberg 1971)(As cited by Runyan 1988). Psychohistory can be simply defined as the application of psychology to history, with an associated definition of psychobiography as the use of…

J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, published in 1951, has become known as an American classic – but it has also been highly controversial, to the extent of being banned in certain schools. The novel has been the center of several debates, with some arguing the moral issues and psychological battles presented are eye-opening and “relevant to the youth of today,” forcing readers to reexamine society, while others criticize it and claim the protagonist, Holden Caulfield, is profane and…

I most relate to the transcendental literature because of what it inspires within me. It is all too easy to get wrapped up in what society expects of you. The transcendentalists writers like Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman suggest we listen to our inner voice. In “Self Reliance” Emerson advocated for this throughout the essay with statements such as, “ Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.” Your conformity explains nothing.” "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.” ( 1346,…

Each had preferences to give you the type of personality you most likely fit in, I was put into the INFP. INFP means…

Reassessing personal understandings, considering alternative perspectives and acting with the appropriate attitudes can have a profound impact on the discovery process and realisation of the individual. The Alchemist’ by Paul Coehlo and Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ demonstrates how new settings can be transformative for the individual and…
