All this while, I kind of knew myself as an introvert for the past twenty-one
years. To me, from my own observations, introverts usually have almost the
same qualities in them. As for me, I would say that I prefer being alone, I prefer
staying home then attending parties and I prefer having a rather small circle
of friend. Not much as circle but just few friends. Maybe like two people. Lets
call it a triangle of friends.
After doing this personality test, I realize that it was true what I have been
thinking of myself for all these years. I am in the ISFJ group. Where ‘I’ stands
for introvert, ‘S’ stands for sensing, ‘F’ stands for feeling and ‘J’ stands for
judging and yes, I will admit that all of these values are indeed the values that
made me who I am today. In this reflection, I am going to share every values
that I have and why I think I grew up having those values.
Firstly, I am in introvert. I would

I am glad to know that I am the ideal kind of parent. Basically I am just glad to know that I will not be messing up my children. Also, the result from this test states that I am a good listener which I am and I am so happy that sometimes people choose me over their family members to share their problem with. Although to strangers I might be overbearing, unfriendly and hard to approach, I am happy that people who pick me to be in their life are happy that I am in their life. Overall, I am grateful that even I have weaknesses in me, it is not going to hurt or trouble anyone else because the weakness that I have revolves around me such as I always don’t pay enough attention to my own needs, and having difficulties leaving bad relationships. See, it is something that doesn’t burden or trouble anyone. To say the most, I turned out to be the person that I use to look up to when I was a kid which I am so happy and thankful
According to Carl Jung, everyone has some degree of both introversion and extraversion, but people often tend to lean one way or another (Cherry,2012). People who are introverted tend to focus on the inner world, ideas, concepts, and be reflective. I have a moderate preference for Introversion because when I am at home, school or around unfamiliar people, I tend to be shy, reserved, and will always think twice before saying something. It is only a moderate preference because when I am at work, I am forced to be an extrovert and step outside my comfort zone. It is very important to keep in mind that in most real-life situations, we are not dealing with
Certainly, the “introverted” versus “extroverted” label is an accurate description of my personality. I prefer peace and quiet as opposed to the hustle and bustle of typical work day. Moments of solitude are also cherished and in this setting I am the most productive. I typically stay at work a few hours past my normal shift to complete the tasks I could not beforehand. This is typically due to the constant interruptions (whether superiors or subordinates) in my office. At times, I may send my personnel home a bit early, so I can begin my tasks and not stay later into the evening. As Kroeger, et al. describes, this “alone time” is essential to “sift” through the information and make “good, clear decisions” (2002, p.

The Big Five Personality Test provided an interesting account of my personality. Although the majority of the results were accurate, I was surprised by two of the outcomes. According to this test, I am a closed-minded, unmethodical, social butterfly that is well-mannered towards others and composed under pressure (John, 2009). First, the results were completely accurate as I am extremely extroverted. I never meet a stranger, and I carry on conversations with anyone. From the custodian, to the cashier, to a random person on the street, it gives me a great sense of fulfillment to engage in dialogue with others from all walks of life. Second, I agree that I am polite and supportive, especially with family and friends. Overall, I try to always
According to the MBTI my first preference is Introvert (12%) which indicates that I pay attention to facts and detail of a situation and organize concrete information according to the values I hold and the importance the information has for myself and others. I agree with the preference that was revealed to me because I tend to focus and care about the needs of others than I do myself. In counseling counselors are extroverts and clients are introverts the difference includes extroverts communicating and viewing the world differently, knowing the effective way of handling a situation unlike introverts like myself will benefit from a different approach
Have you ever stopped and wondered why some people seem to have traits that make them come out ahead of others? These people have characteristics that complement each other, these people are neat introverts. The character traits of neat people are defined in the article “Neat People vs. Sloppy People,” by Suzanne Britt, and the characteristics of an introvert are explained in the article “Caring for Your Introvert,” by Jonathan Rauch. Neat introverts are advantageous at life because their characteristics support one another and bring out the best in them. It is similar to how a runner would condition and train before a big race, if it wasn’t for the training that person probably wouldn’t do as well in the race. The same can be said about their
After taking this personality test I could not decide if I felt that my results were accurate about me or not. The personality test resulted in describing me as an extravert, intuitive, feeling, and judging (Humanmetrics,

On the other hand, introverts are people who are concerned with and interested in their own mental life and often perceived as more reserved and less outspoken in groups. Unlike extroverts who are feeling energized when they are around a large group of people, introverts have energy drained from them through human interaction. Hence, it is essential for them to spend some alone time to “recharge”. Al...
Psychology deals with the study of mental processes and a variety of behaviors. In order to fully comprehend ourselves, we need to understand the causes of our behaviors and our outlook on life. Habits and behaviors have positive and negative effects in our life. When we know ourselves and learn about our unique personality, we can develop and pursue goals. Psychology also helps us to understand other people and the differences of people. Gaining this knowledge can improve the relationships and enhance our communication skills. Throughout the psychology course I gained knowledge in various areas, and the topics that impacted me the most included: the introvert, anxiety disorders, stress management, self discipline and how to develop strong relationships.
Personality is the expression of a person’s traits according to ones feelings, mentality and behavior. It involves understanding individuals’ traits such as withdrawal and willpower and how various parts of an individual link together to form personality. Personality expresses itself from within an individual and is comparatively regular throughout in an individual’s life. Different people have different personalities dependent on factors such as environment and genetic composition.

Success in the development stages lead to virtues while the failure leads to malignancies.

Being an introvert should be seen as someone who simply finds pleasure, relaxation, calmness, satisfaction, and tranquility with being by him/herself, a person who feels that loneliness, on the most literal and non harmful level,
