Reflection Paper On Infj

Me

My conformed profile is INFJ. Maybe that's why at this moment, at the beginning of this essay I feel as if I attached the big yellow Magen David to the school uniforms in my childhood: shame, pride, misplaced, fear, bravery, doom.

How can I say “this means that in business and school I am....?” I behave so because I'm INFJ? Seriously? No. Nothing like that. In business and school I am who I am because of millions of reasons related to me and my life. Same as you. We are not INFJ, INFP, ESTP and so on. We are who we are: a little clear and a lot of questions. The labels that сome from many sources such as astrology, religion, ethnic group, nationality, psychological tests, etc. may work for us better or worse depending on other conditions, …show more content…

In addition to the positive sides it has two obvious negative aspects:

If I cannot solve the problem because of lack of information or wrong method of solving, “over-focusing” often results in repeating unproductive steps. I need to stop to work with it, take a break, re-think the problem and my methods and then return to the task.

“Over-focusing” on some things causes the deficit of attention to other things: my clothes, people and environment around, other actions that are done automatically. Automatic actions are often made with ridiculous errors that affect my work and my self-esteem -> confidence. I can wear shoes of different pairs, or finding an elegant solution I can make stupid mistakes in the formatting of my program, and because of that nothing work. I need better manage such situations. Not sure how, however.

Strong feeling of otherness

My other difficulty is a strong feeling of otherness. I went through a lot of options why from being left-handed to being an INFJ. All describe something, but nothing gives the answers. I still do not know how I can better build relationships with others and how to take it easier. I can not make a step towards someone who does not need my presence. Nothing I can do about it. "Cat is here" is not my

  • I have Introverted Intuition with Extraverted Feelings

    604 Words  | 2 Pages

    I am an INFJ. I have introverted intuition with extraverted feeling. I have a quiet exterior yet am a protector of those around me. I am deeply concerned with my relationships on an individual level. I greatly value knowing people on a one to one basis. I carry this passion into my close relationships. One relationship of significance is with my boyfriend, Adam. I, as an INFJ, prefer to have everything orderly and systematic whereas he is more relaxed and easygoing. I know that I irritate him when I constantly define and re-define the priorities in my life. I, similarly to many other INFJs, have an uncanny insight into people and situations. I receive "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. At times, this can be a little frightening for others. Adam tends to be much more vocal about his feelings and thoughts whereas I am protective of my inner self and share only what I deem appropriate. He does not like that I hold back part of myself and can be secretive. In part, I understand that in a relationship there needs to be open communication and willingness to share. We...

    The 16 Personalities quiz accurately reveals that I find it difficult to focus and that I also overthink things. The 16 Personalities quiz declares that one of the weaknesses of the campaigner type is that they have a really, really hard time focusing. “It’s hard for ENFPs to maintain interest as tasks drift towards routine, administrative matters, and away from broader concepts.” When it comes to school or any other important concepts, it can be almost impossible to focus. Even when doing something simple, it can be a burden to stay on task. A primary example is when a teacher is explaining something, sometimes I may be drifting off, or thinking of other things, or just plain unfocused! As I see it, this trait has a major impact on pretty

  • Jung Typology Test Essay

    However, first and most important to identify and study my own personal preferences. Kroeger (2002) said “the whole process starts with understanding yourself” (Kroeger, 2002). He then goes on to describe INTJs as self confident, balanced, intelligent, independent, and competent (Kroeger, 2002). Typology has helped me to recognize the strengths of my personality but also the weaknesses. INTJs can lack in interpersonal skills, communication, asking for help, and teaching. They can sometimes come off as controlling and arrogant. For example, we recently put in new machinery at work which required each of us to have additional training. As a INTJ, I welcomed the change and quickly adapted the new technology. However, it was hard for me to be sensitive to the needs of other coworkers who did not understand the new technology and training and needed more time to

  • A Letter to College Freshmen Students

    581 Words  | 2 Pages

    This one being your first year in college, you may have trouble concentrating while you study. Some techniques that can help your concentration are being selective, relaxing, and over learning. Being selective means to make choices about what is most important to learn. When you are studying, you should be able to know what may or may not be on the test, your notes for the week can be helpful. In addition, pay attention to charts, tables, and illustrations that you think may appear on the test. Relaxing is a good technique to use because when you are relaxed you are able to absorb more information. One way to relax is to use a breathing technique (inhale, count from one to ten, and exhale, and count from one to ten, and so on). Over learning can help you fight mental vagueness. When you are struggling in a class, it is best for you to learn more than you need to know about the subject. You can use these techniques every time you are studying or when you cannot concentrate.

  • Personal Narrative: Identity

    “It’s a blessed thing that in every stage in every age some one has had the individuality and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.” The part of me that sums up my identity best is not the adjectives given by family, or the faults I find in myself. My identity is my desire to better myself, and my passion for children. My identity is who I want to be and what I do to accomplish my goals My identity is the feelings and emotions I pour into my journal every day, and the way I feel when I do something right. My identity is not what others thing of me or what I think of myself after a bad day. My identity is the love and confidence I have in myslef, and the beauty inside.

  • Dichotomy: The Myers-Briggs Personality Test

    I ended up receiving INFJ (the rarest personality type [1% of the human population!]!), so I was pretty stoked about that. Specifically I was 79% introverted, 88% intuitive, 75% feeling, and 71% judging. Not to mention, I was up there with the greats: MLK, Nelson Mandela, Morgan Freeman, Goethe, and last but *certainly* not least, Jon Snow, so I feel that I definitely deserve INFJ bragging rights. I was not too surprised with most of my results. According to my chart, I was soft-spoken yet with strong opinions, insightful, sensitive, and highly imaginative. I prefer working inside my head or a few people rather than in large groups of people, (which is another reason why office hours scare me). I match my idealist goals with my determination and passion into creating change in my community, and I look to make meaningful and long-lasting connections with a select few who share my values, interests, and dreams. (Many apologies if it sounds like I’m “gassing myself up” right now. I’m really not trying to inflate my

  • My Personal Identity

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    A person’s identity is shaped by many different aspects. Family, culture, friends, personal interests and surrounding environments are all factors that tend to help shape a person’s identity. Some factors may have more of an influence than others and some may not have any influence at all. As a person grows up in a family, they are influenced by many aspects of their life. Family and culture may influence a person’s sense of responsibilities, ethics and morals, tastes in music, humor and sports, and many other aspects of life. Friends and surrounding environments may influence a person’s taste in clothing, music, speech, and social activities. Personal interests are what truly set individuals apart. An individual is not a puppet on the string of their puppet-master, nor a chess piece on their master’s game board, individuals choose their own paths in life. They accomplish, or strive to accomplish, goals that they have set for themselves throughout their lifetime. Individuals are different from any other individual in the world because they live their own life rather than following a crowd of puppets. A person’s identity is defined by what shaped it in the first place, why they chose to be who they are, and what makes them different from everybody else in the world. I feel that I have developed most of my identity from my own dreams, fantasies, friends, and idols.

  • Conscientious Person Essay

    839 Words  | 2 Pages

    I am a very conscientious person. I hold obligations tightly, always doing my homework and never missing a class. I also rarely do dangerous acts that force me to lose control. For instance, I don’t drink alcohol because I am careful not to put myself in dangerous situations or in situations in which control is lost. I also am careful in other ways, such as eating a strict diet of health foods and exercising five days a week to maintain health. Pretty much in all aspects of my life I shoot for the ideal, which definitely highlights my careful organization of my day to day. When the ideal is not hit, I get rather anxious about it, because it feels as though order is lost. In these ways and so
