This afternoon I sat down at my computer to take the "Jung Typology Test". After taking the test I got results that showed my personality being overwhelmingly dominated in one category. According to the test I have is a much expressed extravert. Some of the other results included that I am a tad judgmental and a little bit of a thinker. Honestly after taking the test I felt as though it was mostly accurate on the type of personality I have. As a student I usually always am outside of my comfort zone, I never like to keep my opinion bottled up. I rarely ever keep to myself and feel that the best way to learn is to get your opinion out there and see how others respond. In the past when I have been open and conversing with others, especially in a classroom setting, I find that I learn a lot from what other people have to say about things. When you keep I keep to myself and never meet new people, I feel as though I never learn anything new either.
As I continue to write in journals and in schoolwork daily I feel like I am continually growing as a writer and as an individual. This test proved in some manner of a suspicion I have had for quite some time. Whenever I got into high school I stopped caring about what people thought of me in certain aspects. Instead of writing my English papers so that my opinion would fit the norm, I began to write how I truly felt. I found that my teachers began to appreciate my writing much more because I was being honest and not worrying about what others would think of my opinions. Ever since then I have been really open and honest with people. In life and in school I tend to put myself out there and make new friends and meet new types of people. This is exactly the type of person that the test pinpointed me to be. I really am an extravert type of person and I love to go out and experience new things. This type of personality led me to some of my best friends and some amazing experiences.
The test was very interesting but I must say that no matter what the results said I am planning on sticking to the style of writing that I have always had success with. The style I write with is very open and straight to the point that I am trying to get across. If it is fitting for the essay than I do best to put my voice into the composition and share how I feel in a positive way that others can learn from. This test was fun to take and I feel like I continue to learn and develop as I take tests such as these. My writing style is and always will be different from others around me, but that is something I can be proud of. I love being an extravert type and I am always doing my best to gain knowledge and experience.
Though it has been a long time ago for me, I remember High School being such a wonderful time of awakening in my life! It is the time when you begin to come out of your shell and become who you will be without considering what others think. After becoming "yourself" this test was so interesting in REALIZING who you are. It brought to light things about your personality that you never think about, but that are so true! I enjoyed this test very much, and it sounds like you also took a lot away from it. Knowing who you are can be so beneficial to developing your writing style, not to change what you write about but how you approach it!
ReplyDeleteI love to read everything you write. You have such a way with words. I like that no matter what the test says you are going to stick to you. I like that you are an honest writer. You dare to be different. When I read your writings it takes me back into a different time. You have this smoothness about your words that draw the reader in. We all must take pride in what we do, and being different and writting out of the norm is something in itself to be proud of. You write what most of us wish we could think. You some how manage to do your own thing and it looks good on you. COntinue to be true to yourself. Looking forward to more from you.

It’s not easy saying what you feel sometimes. It’s so common that a group will share the same opinion, or at least claim to, and when someone else’s opinion differs, the group will gang-up on the outsider. It’s amazing how people will adhere to each other like lodge brothers when they share a common opinion or belief, even when that belief has been proven to be wrong. Keep writing in your style.
