My Conformed Profile : Personal Experiences In Social Life

The dominant function of the INTJ personality type is introverted intuition. This has played a crucial role in my (albeit rather short) professional life. Ever since I was a toddler, I wanted to become a veterinarian. All of my actions were carried out primarily with this goal in mind, to the point where it was obsessive. I never considered taking any other career path.

In the story Your Social Life: Are You a Fox or a Hedgehog? by Pamela Haag is basically compare the life style of a person to a fox and hedgehog. She explains how also is similar to the social life that we are facing today in this society. Haag tells that the fox social life is which he knows a lot of people but don’t really have that kind of confident with other. In the case of hedgehog is the opposite, he knows a lot and he can have some sincere conversations with his friends.

Many individuals is faced with the decision of conforming or choosing personal desire, and it is not an easy decision. It is hard because being shunned by others for being different is not a good feeling. Choosing to conform over personal desire, often leads to loss. On the other hand, personal desire is what sets others apart and gives them joy. In the poem, “The Jackhammer Syndrome”, Al Purdy discusses the good and bad memories he has experienced. He goes through his memories of when he had fun and made mistakes, but he reflects on what he could have done better. The author of “The Jackhammer Syndrome informs against choosing the welcoming joy of conformity over the long-term gains of personal desire. Making the decision to pursue conformity over personal desire may seem easy at first, but if the choice is to conform, the joy it gives will not last. Making the decision to pursue conformity over personal desire Conformity may seem to give joy at first, but it does not last. When Al is playing pool with his brother, he wants to win badly, but losses. However when he did not care to win, Al wins! Conforming can lead to loss but personal desire has much to gain. If the choice is to conform, personal identity may be lost. In my life, I recognize several instances in which I found several similarities between Al and myself. I have made decisions that were not always good ones such as swimming across long distances with friends.

Each type has unique gifts and talents that can be used in different occupations. ISFJ personalities are practical and motivated to provide for others in the careers that they choose. The ideal work environment for this personality type is to work alone on projects, work with known facts, use standard procedures, work in a friendly and relaxed environment. Careers that are suggested for someone with the ISFJ personality are interior decorators, nurses, administrators, managers, child care professionals, counselors, paralegals, religious workers, shopkeepers and office managers. Personally, I want to work in the Biotechnology field developing cures for sick children and adults. I would love to find the cure for cancer and lyme disease. If I can make a difference in someone’s life I will then be satisfied with what I do for a living.

Conformity I was attending McLane High School and I was about 15 years old when I was in a situation that I wish I could of stayed out of. I had two best friends named Lesset and Laura. We were always together and new everything about one another. Well, one day my friend Lesset looked like something was wrong and she pulled me to the side during our lunch and told me that she needed to talk to me. So after school we walked together to her house and on the way there we talked when she told me a secret that was only meant for my ears only. It was something that she had done over the weekend and it involved our friend Laura’s boyfriend. She told me that she was at a party and she was drinking and that Laura’s boyfriend Rigo was there and some how they ended up sleeping together. My jaw dropped, eye wide open, and I was speech less.

From the MBTI test, I got the INFJ personality. The energy comes from me, so I can drive, lead my future employees to achieve on the strategic plan of the organization and know how to develop employees’ skills. Also, I understand, care other’ feeling and have an empathy to others. This will help to learn and help people to have a work life balance. People should have work life balance because they may less stress on their jobs and life. They will well perform on their responsibilities.

When Pamela Haag wrote “Your Social Life: Are You a Fox or a Hedgehog?” she explained what the Greek poet Archilochus meant when he said that the fox knows many things about a little, but the hedgehog knows one big thing. In the entry she decided to use a more relatable topic to help show exactly what he meant. Haag overall talked about that even though a person with a fox social life knows many people they do not know them on a very personal, confiding level. However, someone with a hedgehog social life knows very few people, but can fully trust and be open with the people they do know. When reading about this parable of the fox and hedgehog I immediately thought about one concerning different types of parents.

They suggest that measuring one’s characteristics such as sociability, drive, self-determination and demeanor can aid one to better interpret and discern them introspectively. By taking the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) I am able to compare my personality traits to careers in which I may enjoy, will fit my individual personality and enable me to be successful say Drummond, Jones & Sheperis (2016). The results of my self-administered inventory are as follows; Introvert (I) 55%, Intuitive (N) 76%, Feeling (F) 86% and Perceiving (P) 67%. The four dimensions of the inventory seem to be very accurate for the manner in which I view myself. The result of INFP suggests that my personality shows a predominant association with being in a career in which I am able to care for others, such as a healer. This is a correlate with my first career as a firefighter and

In the Myers Briggs test, I received the letter combination “INTJ”. This is someone who is an introverted, intuitive, thinker, and a judger. The careers suggested for this sequence was a nurse, counselor, and a manager. This allows me to work with my own ideas and philosophies. When I must work with people, they will be intelligent people who can work at my level. I can be very inflexible and single-minded.

The MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) has given me insightful information over 4 different dichotomies: 1)Where I focus my attention 2) How I take in information 3) How I make decisions based on the information and 4) How I deal with the world. After completing the assessment, I was dubbed ‘INTJ’. This being 9% Introvert, 38% iNtuitive, 3% Thinking, and 31% Judging. To my surprise, after reading the detailed report, I found most of the information presented, to be ‘spot on’. According to the Center for Confidence and Well-Being, “Of all the personality types, INTJs are most motivated by “vision”. They have a great need to come up with a unifying idea of a future, improved state, which is then their job to realize. This inner vision can be so strong for INTJs and so individual that they are often reckoned to be the most independent-minded of all the types” (Craig, C., 2014). This provided me with great validation that I have been lucky enough to find myself in the right career. Currently, I am the interim Director of Quality at an acute care hospital in San Diego. Daily, myself and my team are looking for ways to improve hospital processes, systems, and relationships. Always striving for a future vision or ‘ideal state’ of how we would like to see our organization functioning to better serve our community. Many people have told me that they could ‘not do what I do’ simply because of the data collecting, analyzing, reporting, and

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.

I am an INTJ, otherwise known as “The Scientist” because of their aptitude in the field of science or engineering. My personality benefits me in my school work as INTJ’s excel in academic settings and value intelligence over all. Whenever I encounter a problem I think through it rationally and make a plan of action. I am an isolationist that enjoys reading a good book over going to social events. Even though I do like to keep to myself I do appreciate some company every once in a while.

I took the Meyers Briggs Personality Test which told me that my personality type is ISTJ. The characteristics of someone who is ISTJ are very similar to what people describe me as. Just like other ISTJ people I am a very quiet and serious person, also I enjoy organization and order when doing things in my life (Meyers). I try to be very responsible when it comes to my studies which is why I like to plan everything out before I do it. This affects me as a learner by changing the way I go about doing my homework. I cannot just sit down and pick a random assignment to work on. First, I have to list out all of the things I have due and then go down the list and pick what ones I am going to do first by the difficulty they are or by when they are

One of the last assessments in this course was a personality test. I may come off as being an extrovert in person. But in no way is that the case, my personality type bounces back and forth between INFJ and INTJ. This ties into my career path because according to 16personalities.com the way this assessment worded my career path is that INFJs typically do not fit into the corporate work world. INFJs need to know that the work they’re doing has meaning, leads to personal growth and helps people. On the other hand, INTJs typically are the “lone wolves.” They prefer to work alone to maximize creativity with limited interruptions. I say all this to conclude that artist management allows me the flexibility that fits with both of personality types.

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
