ABCD...ENFJ?
According to the Myers-Brigg Type Indicator I am an ENFJ. Now what in the world does that mean? Extroversion, iNuition, Feeling, and Judging. There are several things that characterize ENFJ's such as preferring to study with others while learning, are not procrastinators, be decisive, organized, motivated, productive, and idealistic at work, will provide encouragement and support, and feel negative or cynical when dealing with stress to name a few. Mostly I agree with the major characterizations of ENFJ's but there are few things that just don't fit me. In the overview of this type it mentions several times something about having good people skills and a strong sense of self. This fits me perfectly. I have not always been a 'people person' but as I got older it had become more necessary for me to be outgoing so I made myself do it and now am comfortable talking to people and putting myself out there. I know what I believe and stick to it and I think that others see that and it encourages them to 'stick to their own guns' so to speak. I love helping people and enjoy all of my relationships and making new friendships. One thing that is not me is the no procrastination. I'm not that terrible but I tend to categorize my priorities into things I need to do for others and things I need to do for myself. I usually put my things off until I have finished what I have needed to do for others and unfortunately homework and such usually gets put into the 'my things' category so it gets pushed aside. Other than that the indicator explanation explains me almost to a T. I think it will help me with my writing because it shows me that I know who I am so I may have to stretch my thinking abilities to write from a different perspective or bring new ideas to the table. It also gives me ways to explore the facets of my personality that I might not think of or open up new opportunities for writing and my schooling in general.

Good reflection. How does your typology impact you as a writer? A student? How might you use this knowledge in college? ~Ms. A.
