My Personality Type

After taking Myers-Briggs personality test, I was told that my personality was ESFJ; which stands for Extrovert Sensing Feeling and Judging. Being an extrovert means that I love to be around people and I get joy from interacting in large groups. Sensing has to do with how I do things, which is very hands-on and practical. I like to follow the rules and just go with the flow. When I was given Feeling, it meant that I am very caring and that I can see when people are down and I try my best to help them get back up. The last one, judging, isn't what people would associate it to be. It has to do with me being loyal to people and  trusting, but also being very organized in the work I do. Some famous people that have the same personality as me include Harry S. Truman, Colin Powell, Selena Gomez, Larry King, Elton John and Jessica Alba.

The scary part about this assignment is that it is very true! I feel like I do my best to go out of the way and care for people when they are down. This was one of the "right on" moments that I noticed was a part of my evaluation. I notice when people seem upset and these people really love it when I notice that and try to help them out. The thing that was more of a "not so much" was how high I was on the extrovert scale. I love to be around people and interact with them, but I also love to have my alone team and this really helps me reflect on the day's events.

Seeing that I am more of a caring person that goes out of my way to help people, I start to appreciate why I gravitate more towards people who are similar to me. If I am willing to go out of my way to help people, then I honestly except the same in return. That is why I rely on sports to guide me and baseball especially. When I am struggling and it's not my day, I know that my teammates have my back and will do anything to help me get through the tough situation. My personality also allows me to fill in for a lot of different spots because of how open I am to people's feelings. Like I said before, I have a great ability to work on a team.

I feel like when some one saw the word "Judging" they would immediately turn away from me. They need to understand that it really means that I will be loyal to you if I can trust you. I am definitely willing to open up to a different personality type because of my personality but they would have to be able to open up to me as well. For the most part, however, different personalities like to be around me.

As a conclusion, I have learned that I am a good person, not only to myself but to others as well. I understand that I care about people and I am willing to stop and talk things through in order to figure them out. Along with my extrovert attitude, I can fully acknowledge how things need to get done and I am willing to go out of my way to make things happen.
