Over the last couple of weeks we have been discussing our results from the MBTI and different learning styles people have. In class we did a self assesment of our MBTI type before getting our results and I am pretty proud to say my self assesment was really close to what my actual results said I am. I predicted I was a ESTP (Extraversion, Intuition, Thinking, Perceiving) and my results said that I was a ESFP (F for feeling). After I read about both types, I agreed more with the actual results. Some of the things that hit home the most were the fact that I am very energetic and I love to be around people (the extravert in me). That I am very open and caring. Most of all that people who are ESFP make the most of the moment. I believe that you have to make the best of every situation you are put into.
By taking this MBTI I have learned that I work well with people and am able to connect with what they are feeling more than others. I also learned that people who are very extraverted, like me, can overwhelm intraverts, because we can be loud and rarely think things through before we act. This also reaffirmed my opinion on how I learn best. People who are ESFP learn best by doing hands on activities. I have know for a long time that I understand things better if I can do things myself rather than to have someone just show it to me.
How can all of this relate to my future goals? By knowing what my personality type is and the strenghts of that type I can put those to good use when I meet new people. Knowing the learning style that works best for me can ensure that I make the best of my education which will ultimately lead to better career opertunities.
Great blog :) I love reading your posts because you are straight-forward and to the point. I can definitely tell you are an E, and that makes it fun to be around you. Being in touch with people's feelings will make you really good at psychology, Brooke :)
