Being an INTP means being a highly analytical and pensive person and I find that I fit this personality type to a tee. However the article also claims that the P (Perceiving) trait, has a 3% difference from the J trait. This means that I may have characteristics from both INTP and INTJ. As the description for INTP claims, I am often lost in thought, to the point that I can cleanly detach myself from an ongoing conversation, and still nod and say yes at all the appropriate times. I am also an argumentative person if I believe my beliefs and person are being challenged. Another point the article shines light on that resonates deeply with me is the characteristic of having a haunting sense of impending failure, however this is where I notice myself
This is Laith Abdulmaseeh-Elias AL- Salan, and I am Firas Brother. When you have your brother who is living with you for years, you have so many memories of him that they tend to overlap, which have happiness and sadness. It is extremely difficult to single out one or two of his characters that you want to describe him, impossible to remember any that exemplify the whole. Firas was born when I was 9 years old. Few years later when firas grow up, he became more than just brother, he is my friend. When we were in Iraq we loved to be together and do things, like going out to lunch and for ice cream. Sure there is 9 years different between us but firas was and still an inspiration to me. firas has a unique personality that influenced on me to
Nothing feels better than giving back to a place that has given so much to people. A majority of the little things that we do day by day are taken for granted or they are just seen as nothing major. In reality there are so many things that are given to us and we do not always see the little things in life as anything of mass importance. For our kindness project we decided that it was time for us to give a little to ensure someone had a smile at the end of the day. We partnered up with the Rho Nu club here on campus and together we made tie blankets. These blankets that we made will be donated to the Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane later this month. We decided to do this project in the hopes of giving a little, but making it count for a lot more. We hoped that the children receiving these blankets always get a smile on their face or simply that they just find comfort in these blankets. In this project I was the leader of the group and I did most of the organization of
The Beck Depression Inventory is a testing tool which is used to evaluate the continuation and severity of the symptoms of depression, as recorded in the DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2000). The test includes questions which asses the symptoms of serious depression, which may possibly call for hospitalization. The latest revised edition replaces the BDI and the BDI-1A, which includes items intending to indicate symptoms of severe depression, which may require hospitalization. Items include been distorted to specify increases or decreases in sleep and appetite. The most important purpose of the new version of the BDI was
Persons with an opposite profile to those of ENTJ are the ISFPs . That is Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving. These personality types like my friend Jasper are very much in touch with reality and are less involved in fantasy. They are quiet, friendly, sensitive and kind. (Briggs n.d). A major difference in class for a Person like Jasper in comparison to ENTJ character types is that, while the ENTJs enjoy learning and continuously explore new things the ISFPs get easily bored are often likely to drop out of school. They do well mostly in experimental learning as opposed to theory. While the ENTJ is outgoing and likes solving conflict through debate, the ISFP often walks away from conflict and disagreements. At work the ISFP can be a gel
The Minnesota Multiphase Personality Inventory 2 (MMPI-2) assessment is an updated version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory to “revise and reword the language of some of the existing items that were dated, awkward or sexist” (Aiken & Groth-Marnat, 2006, p. 407). This assessment is used for a wide range of clinical conditions based on self-report. The MMPI-2 can also be used in nonclinical settings such as to “assess persons who are candidates for high-risk public safety positions and in criminal/civil forensic settings” (www.upress.umn.edu/test-division/mmpi-2). This assessment is concerned with “psychosomatic symptoms, attitudes, emotions, eating disorders, drug abuse, etc.” (Aiken & Groth-Marnat, 2006, pp. 405-407).
With my personality type being ISFP, I have learned that I am able to collect a large amount of information at one and that I am able to think before I speak. I would strongly agree with this personality type. I put other people’s feelings before my own. Another thing I have learned is that I should find a job where I am able to work with people and find a job were I will be able to make good use of my ability of being able to understand facts. My possible strengths would be to make being feel comfortable and valued.
After taking the personality test, some of the things I already realized I do or are too familiar. The test labeled me as in an INTP, which stands for introvert, intuitive, thinking, and perceiving. Introvert basically means that you’re more focused on the internal feelings and thoughts within the person rather than the things that are on the outside. I always find myself trying to read a book whenever I’m just sitting around the house and sometimes I just want to be alone and I want peace a quiet. I know that when I’m at work, I always try to put some headphones in so that I can’t hear anything else around me. Although I’m not really listening to the headphones, I give off the illusion that I don’t want to be bothered.
After going to the website, I took the personality test. I was identified as ISFP. This meant that I was fifty percent introvert, twenty-two percent sensing, twenty-five percent feeling, and twenty-two percent perceiving. The test was very accurate. To start, the results showed that I was an introvert. This perfectly describes me. My entire life I have been the shy one in the group. I was never focused on being the center of attention; I was fine with staying in the middle or back of the group. So for my results to say that I was fifty percent introvert was more accurate than I had intended it to be.
( I also got INFP due to having a score of 3% for Thinking, meaning I'm almsot an equal mix of Thinking and Feeling) Upon reading the information given about INTP persenatly types i find myself conecting and agreeing with most of the content. This was esspecily evident in the "cumoncation style" section. The sentences, "But, with people of equal intelligence they may enter into discussions or debates. INTPs often distance themselves from superficial acquaintanceship and keep to a social circle of colleagues and like-minded individuals." seem to explain me exceptanly well. I do find myelf getting into debates all the time with my older brother, who has a similer persenality. The career options said to suit my persenality the best were also pretty close to feilds I'm already interasted in, such as law and engneering. I took a look at INFP too, and found parts of me in some of the explanations given. I feel the statement , "[f]ew can rival an INFP in their ability to deeply empathize with the other party's emotions and the struggle in their lives." is pretty accurate. As I've said, this test was very insightful and my favourate of the
The INFJ personality is known to be the world rarest personality type and often misunderstood. This type stand for a percentage of less than 2% of the overall world population according to Holm (2009), the majority of that percentage being female and some famous INFJ that can be named are Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa. My INFJ in academic and business milieu: from the past week assignment, my preferred four letters chosen base on the instructions received from Myers-Briggs type indicator were INFJ, which stands for Introverting, iNtuiting, Feeling and Judging. For this week assignment I was very surprise after taking the Jungian test to discover that my personality type fours letter were confirmed to be the same INFJ. Having my conformed INFJ profile means that in business milieu, my creativity and sense of responsibility come in first. Although as an INFJ I’m strongly introverted, I nevertheless highly care about my relationship with other individuals. At work I’m open to communication and always available when it comes to help colleagues to carry out on tasks or explaining work procedures. However, my personality type also implies that I can have sudden need for personal time away from others, which is my way to recharge and regain my energy. In an academic milieu, I’m more focus on setting and reaching my goals; I get motivated by planning in advance my studying weeks and do a lot of efforts to meet my assignment deadlines. I can get emotionally
According to Freud, I have an oral fixation that “troubles” my personality. This is due to the fact that I have a nervous habit of biting my nails and enjoy chewing gum. Freud theorized that the way I was breast fed as a baby caused this fixation because I was either not fed enough, was fed to much, or not breastfed at all. Ultimately, due to me having an “issue” when I was breastfed now causes me to be orally fixated and is the driving force behind me biting my nails and chewing gum.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss characteristics of my personality. The main focus of this paper will be how my personality has developed over time. As I age and encounter new and different experiences, my personality has adapted and developed further. This paper will give an in-depth exploration into the people and events that have influenced my personality.
Living primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations. Seeking clarity in everything, therefore driven to build knowledge. Intelligence and the ability to apply logic to theories to find solutions is highly valued. The natural drive to turn theories into concrete understanding may turn into a feeling of personal responsibility to solve theoretical problems, and help society move towards a higher understanding (Portrait of an INTP. 2012.). “INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them (Butt, J. 2012).”
Personality is the dynamic organization of characteristics that blend or make a person unique and though in his or her appearance or reasoning. (Weinberg & Gould, 1999). According to Eysenck 1966, when he was working in a hospital based in London he was exposed to many different patients. Eysenck’s work led him to develop a very important and well known model of personality in the psychology world. His model on personality theory was the result of culmination of answers to questionnaires on personality styles and statistics that he identified specific parameters to measure them and use in the theory. He used three categories of personality traits and these were; extraversion, psychoticism, and neuroticism. In 1940 Eysenck was doing work at the Audley psychiatric hospital in London while developing his theory. His job at the hospital was to make an initial assessment of each person admitted to the facility prior to being diagnosed by a psychiatrist. This position at the hospital led him to track and write many questions pertaining to behavior and personality. The questions were later applied to more than 700 soldiers who were being treated for neurotic disorders at Maudsley hospital (Eysenck, 1966).
In the idiographic approach to studying personality, the goal is to understand all the specific details, factors and characteristics that make up the personality of a specific individual. There are three different kinds of traits in this approach, central traits, secondary traits, and cardinal traits. These three types allow psychologists to identify traits that are the most important to understanding an individual, traits that are vary in when/how they are revealed, and single traits that completely dominate a personality. To study personality using this approach, psychologists read case studies or have participants complete surveys.
