Jung Typology Test
Well, taking the Jung Typology Test was very interesting. I came out as a ISTJ (Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging). The description of an ISTJ quiet frankly fit me perfectly. I am a very straight to the point, matter of fact kind of person. In the article "Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging" by Joe Butt it says Introverted Thinkers, often give the impression of being aloof and somewhat cold. I hate to admit it, but I am that way and really I'm not sure that this something that ends up being good for my writing in the long run. It reads that ISTJs perform at highest efficiency when employing step-by-step approach. That is for sure how I seem to work best. I kind of need it laid out and see how it should be done and how it works best and that is how I want to do it. In this article it says ISTJs get frustrated with inconsistencies of others but keep their feelings to themselves unless they are asked. That definitely describes me. I am a little uneasy with creative or descriptive writing and hope that I can change my introverted ways of doing things so that I can open up a little more and get my creative mojo flowing. So overall this was a good description of me as a person. I would just like to open up more a writer and have more emotion. Reading this article and seeing that this is how I am probably perceived kind of makes me want to change the way I do things. I would like to me more carefree and open up a little. I am a very quiet person and I think my writing reflects that. So I hope to learn some new habits as a writer with this class.

Maybe what you can take away from the typology test is not how to change your introverted ways of thinking, but how to embrace it and use it to your advantage. Creativity comes to us all in different ways, and that is what makes everyone's writing so different and interesting. Love what makes you "YOU."
