I took the Jung typology test and I was labelled a ESTJ, an extraverted, sensing, thinking, judging type. It says I would thrive on order and rules and like to enforce rules. ESTJ's are orthodox and like to stick to the normal. ESTJ's will also stick up for what they believe is right even against all odds.
ESTJ's are extraverted thinkers that can make impersonal decisions.
I do not know if the above summary, which is not complete by the way, is an accurate description of me as a person and as a writer.
I am extraverted and will speak my mind, but a lot of times, I do not agree with authority or the order of things and will question them. I also tend to overthink situations and tend to be lost in my thoughts.
It seems to me the typology test portrayed my type as a rule enforcer that is impersonal and materialistic. I am not that person. I think that you have to work hard to get what you want, but each individual is of importance as well.
The same goes for my writing. I do not simply state the facts when I write as the typology test would suggest, I like to be creative and relate to the stories that I have read or the characters I have created.
Some points of the typology test seem to be true such as I like certain things to be in order and neat such as my work area and my assignments.
After all, this is just a test and can not capture your whole personality in 70 questions.
Larry - This is a good reflection that would be stronger if you were able to offer specifics about your personality as it compares to the type indicator. How does the E indicator compare to the way you process the world? In what ways does your experience show you are different from your indicator? ~Ms. A.
