In my research to connect my MBTI and Enneagram personality types to spirituality, I gained a greater understanding of spirituality as a whole and a better understanding of myself and how my personality influences how spiritual I am. Personality may affect how I practice faith or how spiritual of a person I am in my everyday life and the actions I do towards me or towards other people. During my research for connections between my spirituality and my MBTI and Enneagram personality types, I have learned how my personality affects my spirituality on a deeper level and how it impacts my everyday life.
After I completed the MBTI and Enneagram Personality Tests, I was able to identify my key personality traits and tendencies and how they might affect

However, I do not fully agree with this test; I do not perceive myself as an alert individual. This affects how open I am to seeing signs from God on how I should live my spiritual life. I do agree with the statement that I am an insightful person because I tend to understand new concepts fairly well. This allows me to grasps new spiritual concepts and stigmas, allowing me to learn more about religion. Desiring to know the “why” in situations allows me to question religion and spirituality, which has good and bad consequences. One of the good consequences is that I am a free thinker and am questioning the church and its teachings. However, that can, in turn, become negative because I am not relying on faith as much as I should be, and therefore, I am not as spiritual or religious of a person than I should be. According to the MBTI personality test, my personality type is ISTJ, which is an initialism for introverted, observant, thinking, and judging . I agree with these traits because I see these traits in myself whenever I ponder who I am as a person. Also, I believe others see me with these traits because I tend to keep to myself on most matters. Being introverted can be …show more content…
And I have tendencies to keep everything to myself, or just keep it inside of my head . I become very analytical about my surroundings and situations. I keep my opinions and feelings to myself, which prevents others from feeling like I am bombarding them with my personal issues and problems. This can become problematic though because this causes me to bottle up my emotions and feelings about a lot of things, causing my personal problems to constantly pile up and become very problematic in the future. Whenever I am around others, I do not tend to be emotional around them or with them. I do not feel like others should be involved in my personal affairs that I feel do not affect them. This however, causes my peers and other people to think that I lack emotion, and I tend to bottle them up which can become problematic in the future. I am not an outspoken person, and approach all of my relationships, family or friend, in a rather reserved way. In life, I would much rather prefer fewer, more personal relationships with those I am very close with than having many loose acquaintances whom I am not very close with. In relationships, I perceive myself as the more selfish one, or taker. As much as I do not want to admit this, I rarely am the one who frees up time or makes time for those I am close with. I run on my own clock the majority of the time, and that is not good if I desire
As we wind down this C-USA basketball season this article is taking a look at who has the hottest coaching seats in C-USA. This article and discussions similar to it are vital to the future of basketball in this conference. Don’t think so? Then you’ve not been paying attention to a historically bad season for C-USA basketball. Right now UAB at the top of the conference is projected only as a 14 or 15 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and NO TEAMS are currently projected to make the NIT. Before you try to blame this situation on conference realignment, consider the previous basketball success at several of our member schools. I do realize realignment has hurt us. This is the 20th anniversary of the C-USA basketball tournament and only two teams currently in C-USA have won that tournament. UAB is one team and the other left
When Lilly Research Laboratories were developing and screening naphtaheleneyloxy – arylprpylamines series, in August 2003, for serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, they found that Duloxetine, a member of this series, proved efficiency in treatment of major depression disorder , owing to Duloxetine is a balanced 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine dual reuptake inhibitor with minor inhibitory effect on dopamine.

During the month of January, the Mktg 3100 class that I took part in, was given a Myers-Briggs characterization form to fill out. Because the Myers-Briggs results place me into two categories, I shall discuss this response to both ISFJ and ISFP character trait types. This paper will discuss my viewpoints, others viewpoints, and the characteristics on how it might affect the decisions I make with my activities, social, vocational life. The results of this examination were two because of how closely related my answers were to both types. Though this is a good ball-park estimate on what kinds of traits I may have, it is not perfect.
There are many instances where my family and even my closest friends question why I am so reserved. They sometimes ask me why I am unable to fully open up and talk about my thoughts and feelings like they are able to and I never had an answer. I was never able to figure out why I am this way until I took this test. I realized that being a private person is one of the weaknesses of my personality type and that it is very common amongst INFJ’s. This is something that is in fact easily noticeable based on the type of person I am. I like to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself. I find I very difficult to fully trust those around me. Finding someone I can fully trust whether it may be a friend or a love interest is like finding a needle in a haystack. Being a private person has made me worried about my future life and it makes me wonder if I will ever find someone who can fully understand and relate to me. I wonder if ill ever be able to find some whom I can blindly trust. In order for me to find those whom I can trust, I have realized that I need to let myself loose. I have learned to confide in a few of my closest friends. I have learned that sharing my thoughts and feeling with those whom I’m close to not only makes our relationship stronger but it makes me feel lighter. It makes me feel as if a weight load has been lifted off my chest and restores my trust in
My personality type according to the Jung Typology Test is ISTJ. These letters stand for Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. I agree with my results because, I’m introverted and would rather be by myself a majority of the time. I tend to try to make sense of things instead of allowing my intuition to take over. I think long and hard about certain outcomes that could go bad or good.
According to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), I am an ISTJ personality this means that I am an Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging person. ISTJ are very faithful, loyal and dependable. We are also reserved people who are interested in a secure and quiet life. ISTJ’s place importance in being honesty and can be trusted to do the right thing for their families and friends. There are some weaknesses to being an ISTJ personality we are stubborn, insensitive, and judgmental. This test is amazing it really nailed my personality.
Who are you? Many fortune cookies, horoscopes, and other whimsical devices attempt to tell us our personalities, or our combination of traits and behaviors that make up who we are. However, psychologists today deviate from those unsubstantiated methods and have concocted various personality tests that give us a better understanding of who we are. One such test is called the Myers-Briggs personality test. Based on theories by Carl Jung, but primarily created by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs, the test gives people a standardized survey of questions to answer. Standardized, meaning the test is given and scored in the exact same way every time to give unbiased and accurate results. It scores people in four pairs of characteristics, so there is a total of 16 possible personality types. Each pair of characteristics are opposites and a person can fall anywhere between the extreme end of one opposite to the extreme end of the other. The pairs are extroverted and introverted, sensing and intuition, thinking and feeling, finally judging and perceiving. A person can have strong, moderate or weak tendencies towards a preference. (Rathus, 2010, p. 420) There is some criticism of the Myers-Briggs test however, not everyone fits into the categories. People may answer according to socially acceptable norms instead of their honest answers. Not all of the theories were proven, Carl Jung made many observations and deductions but they weren’t formally
During the power point on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, as the instructor went through the different types of personalities, I was able to recognize which subcategories I fall into almost instantly. When my computer personality test results were returned, I was correct. As I read the type descriptions of Extroversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging- ENFJ- I quickly recognized myself within the descriptive words.
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator report showed multiple things. It described me as an ENTP: extroverted, intuitive thoughtful, and perceptive. Yet I could have fallen on the opposite side easily. I knew I wouldn’t be a set type with a strong personality because I change depending on the situation. At times, I won’t talk to anybody and just sit back and listen.
Based on my results from the Jung Typology Test, I can relate to the type of personality I obtained (ENFP). I agree with the idea that I look for all of the possibilities in life without retaining myself from pursuing my goals. I also enjoy listening to people’s stories and empathize with them in order to help them. That is one of the reasons why I chose to study Mental Health Counseling. I considered myself to be a good observer of people’s behavior and actions, and how they match their feelings.
John Adams once said, “Thanks be to God that he gave me stubbornness when I know I am right”. John Adams, like myself was introverted, intellectual, thinking, and judging, or an INTJ on the Myers Briggs personality test. Like all INTJs, Adams was stubborn and flouted the ideas of others that he did not agree with. By using my results from the Meyers Briggs personality test, I can examine how I react to certain things and use this to improve my Spirituality, my relationship with God, and ultimately my relationship with others through Christ.
Before I took this quiz, I considered myself pretty reliant on what others think of me and having a “cold” personality, allowing very few into my life. I am one who cares more about my own feelings. Tending not to have much fear or needing reassurance from others feelings toward myself. In relationships, I worry most about myself, not showing much attachment or neediness for others, often spending most of my time alone. Along with attachment anxiety, the avoidance side relates due to having that slight chunk of confidence expressing to others. I tend to keep my feelings and emotions to myself very rarely expressing them to others.
Here in New York City, a terrible tragedy took place today, September 11th. A tragedy that will change our very way of life. the twin towers at the world trade center went under attack. We arrived on the scene of what was believed to be a bomb explosion in tower one. It was quickly discovered a plane had flown into the tower. Soon after our arrival, a second plane hit tower number two. When I witnessed the second plane hit, there was a sudden knowing among everyone there that this was no accident. We were under attack. There was debris falling all around the tower and crushing cars. It was scary to think of how many people could have died. Little did I know at the time that the worst was worst to come. As the intense fire grew larger, people
Based on the work of Carl Jung, Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs developed the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, a self-inventory geared toward helping individuals determine their personality types and individual areas of strength. “By helping people understand themselves, Myers and Briggs believed that they could help people select occupations that were best suited to their personality types and lead healthier, happier lives” (Cherry, 2015). This test, through helping me explore my own personality, likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and various preferences and compatibilities, has been instrumental in affirming my
The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) enables an individual to gain a deeper insight into their inherent personality traits. For some people, they have had prior knowledge or underlying assumptions about their personality, but this test provides clearer information about each of their identifiable traits. According to the MBTI in Human-metric personality test, my scores were 22% (E) extroverted thinking more than introverted, 9% (N) intuitive as oppose to sensing, 16% (T) thinking more than feeling, and 12% (J) judging as compared to perceiving. Thus, my personality type is ENFJ. The ENFJ personality group is described as a minority group that consists of natural-born leaders, and people filled with passion, and charisma for example, Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey; they are notable members of this group, also known as the protagonists (16personalities, 2016). The protagonists apprehend pride in providing guidance for others to improve individually and to improve the community at large (16personalities, 2016). The protagonists find it naturally easy to communicate with others and excel at communicating with other people in person (16personalities, 2016).
