1. My two main personality types were ISFP and INFP. I feel that the first personality type, ISFP, was a very accurate description of my personality, although both had several correct statements. I found it interesting and surprising that the test revealed me to be primarily introverted, as I always thought I was in the middle. Furthermore, I was very astonished when I received "feeling" rather than "thinking" on my third trait, as I have always considered myself a fairly logical person
2. I mainly agree with the initial snapshot. Although there are a few pieces of information that I don't necessarily agree with, I feel that it is for the most part accurate, especially about the deeply-held values. This part is especially true, because I find that if I believe in something, I really believe in it, and rarely relinquish that idea unless direct contradicting evidence comes up to refute me. Furthermore, I usually base many of my decisions around my values, which sometimes leads to conflict with others; however, I feel that those decisions are still the right ones to make.
3. The personality test is a useful way to help one better understand themselves. This is potentially beneficial in all aspects of like, such as when making important decisions on what projects you want to do (in this course and otherwise) and even what jobs seem interesting and what jobs you would do well in.
4. What surprised me mainly is how many people were placed in the same category or similar categories, as I expected more variety in the personality types of the class. I was also surprised that most people were introverted, as I thought that introverted and extroverted people would be about even.
Hi Daniel - can you extend your responses to these questions. They seem to leave me "hanging" as the reader. You introduce an idea or answer the question but then do not explain your thinking or offer any examples or rationale to support your initial claims. For example in #2 - you mention that you agree with the test's results that you have some deeply held values but then do not explain or give examples to support. I know this is somewhat personal; reflections usually are. But reflecting is also a skill as it involves being able to articulate your thinking clearly to an audience (sometimes one you know and other times people you do not know). The logical side of you will understand that sometimes in life your employer or client may ask you how you arrived at your decision to _____________, and what factors did you take into consideration. They may also need clear examples to understand your 'pitch" or ideas. Can you revise and add to your reflections - retitle as Personality Test Revised or something similar so that we can see the improvement in your reflections over time.
