When I first took the MBTI Personality test, I was

originally an ENFP-T, and the second time, I was listed


as an INFP-A. Now that I have taken the test a third
time, it seems that I am an ENFJ-T. Looking at the
descriptions under each letter, it makes sense how and
why I exhibit those behaviors and personality traits.

I’m an ambivert, however I lean more towards


being an extravert with introverted tendencies. I love to
hang out with people, but there will be instances where I
just want to stay away from major crowds and only hang
out with a very small handful of people. It helps me a lot
to recharge in both ways, as it balances out my need for
social interaction and lessens this feeling of isolation
from everything else.

I also know that I can easily perceive a person’s


emotions just by simply observing them, and a lot of the
time, I’m right about what I think they’re feeling at that
moment. It’s not so much me fully observing every little
action that they do, rather it’s an immediate sense of
what I feel they are going through. This strikes true with
the Intuitive and Feeling part of my MBTI.

Reading about the Judging and Turbulent aspects


of my MBTI, it makes me understand the clashing
principles behind them. I love being organized, and making sure that things have a place to be
put into. If I make those things into a mess, it stresses me out enough to want to fix and clean.
However, if someone else decides to mess things up and not have them in their proper place,
and they place them somewhere that it’s not supposed to be in, I easily freak out and crumble.
This may be the autistic side of me kicking in, but I digress.

All that being said, how this relates to Jungian’s concept of individuation influences one’s
inner outlook on themselves, and how that affects people around them and themselves. You
could say, for example, me wanting to be a Child and Teen Psychologist in the future. All my life,
I’ve always thought that I wanted to help people. I wasn’t sure how, but with that want, I’ve
always been fascinated with psychology, and how it affects people. I explained a while back that
I can easily observe and assume a person’s feelings at the moment I see them, and I can feel
exactly what they feel. It could be a sixth sense that I may not particularly know, but I do know
that it’s very useful in assessing how I approach people in different situations.

I feel that people appreciate that, especially when I can immediately ask them if
something’s wrong, or if something happened, and I’d like to think that it makes them feel better,
and it makes their day; what if no one ended up asking them how their day was? Or what if they
just needed someone to talk to? It’s all about being intuitive on how to go about things and their
emotions.
