RE: Jung Typology Test

My Jung Typology Test

The Jung typology test consists of answering approximately 72 yes or no questions in reference to you usual preference and then you get results that hypothetically reveal your personality or personality types. It also shows the strength level of your personality types that are revealed from your responses. After taking the "Jung Typology Test and reviewing the results I was surprised to see that at my overall personality type according to the Jung Typology Test is associated with people like Immanuel Kant, William Shakespeare, Ludwig Beethoven, Pearl Buck and Arthur C. Clarke. When I read Joel Butt 's revised excerpt about the "introverted intuitive feeling judging" people I was shocked to read on sentence that ultimately describes myself which is the fact that " The concept of 'poetic justice ' is appealing" to me. I have discovered that I had this personality after watching superman at the age of eight years of age. Despite the Joker’s manipulation and trickery, the hero superman was able to still overcome all obstacles and ultimately prevail. I have always voted for the underdog. I am the guy betting on the other guy that nobody wants to win especially if that guy actually deserves a chance. I can also reflect upon by intuitiveness in many different instances. I have sensed danger or a poor character in people and have a high accuracy rate. Some people might call what I have good or bad vibes but Carl Jung calls it "intuitive." The Jung Typology Test accurately revealed my personality types by asserting that I distinctively expressed intuitive personality and only slightly expressed a judging personality and that "slightly" is most likely those people that raise my level of judging by being evil villains, criminals or having bad personalities. It 's amazing to me how people can create test like these and come so close. I find this

    The historical backdrop of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) began with Carl Jung, the organiser of analytical psychology. Jung believed that individuals are either stimulated by the outer world (Extraversion) or their own inner world (Introversion). In the same way Jung observed individuals took in data (Perceiving) or organise data and frame a conclusion (Judging). Additionally Jung noted that individuals mostly demonstrate a dominant part. In this way, in 1921, Jung distributed Psychological Types in which he displayed the thought of Jungian models (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Manual, 2012). Isabel Myers-Briggs developed the MBTI in the 1920s based on Jung’s theoretical constructs with an additional two dimensions of styles of living, consisting of a fourth scale that measures perceiving and judging (Myers, McCaully, Quenck, & Hammer, 2003; Mullins, 2005; Schreuder & Coetzee, 2011). The outcome of additional dimensions of styles to Jung’s theory results in the MBTI being designed to measure 16 personality types: ISTJ (introversion, sensing, thinking, judging), ISFJ (introversion, sensing, feeling, judging), INFJ (introversion, intuition, feeling, judging), INTJ (introversion, intuition, thinking, judging), ISTP (introversion,…

    “Besides the levels of the psyche and the dynamics of personality, Jung recognized various psychological types that grow out of a union of two basic attitudes—introversion and extraversion—and four separate functions—thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting”, (Feist, 2009, p.116).…

    The type of personalities of every individual is very important. While doing an evaluation of myself using Jung Typology Test, I discovered that I was an ENFJ individual. My primary objective is identity seeking. My life consists of being a teacher or a giver. An ENFJ is an extraverted, iNtuitive, feeling, and judging person. “Each of the ENFJ’s preferences compound to make them a natural convincer. Their energy comes from the outwardly directed, socially oriented, gregarious external world (Extraversion). They prefer to perceive the world as having endless possibilities and meanings (iNtuition), which they use to make subjective, interpersonally based decisions (Feelings). They prefer to live their daily lives in a structured, scheduled, and orderly fashion (Judging), (Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge, pg. 386).” This means that I have extraverted feelings with introverted intuitions. I am a people- focused individual. However, I am considered a smooth talker and very persuading. It is said that ENFJ’s are natural sales people. I found it funny that this statement is true. I am an insurance agent with Allstate. My everyday life…

    The fact that my favorite jelly bean is yellow says something about my personality. Firstly, yellows are not usually outspoken. For instance, when my friends and I make plans to hang out I only say something if asked even if I do not like the plans. That is how I act in most if not all situations. Secondly, I have trouble making decisions in a lot of situations. In fact, I spent up to thirty minutes deciding if I wanted to go to a rodeo when my mother asked if I wanted to go. I tend to take as much tie as I can to make decisions I did with the rodeo issue. Thirdly, I attempt to understand why someone thinks the way they do. As an example, my friend mentioned his favorite character in a game was different than mine, so I asked my friend to describe…

    In the Myers-Briggs Type indicator/Jung’s Typology Test results I scored ENFJ, which stands for extrovert, intuitive, feeler, and judger. These results seem extremely accurate to me. I do enjoy spending time with people, talking to them, and trying my best to understand them. People fascinate me yet I find it difficult to open up to the people around me, which is a common characteristic among ENFJ’s. Being intuitive, I tend to look at the big picture rather than detail. I rely on my gut rather than my conscious. As a feeler, the decisions I make tie in with the values I grew up learning, leading with my heart and naturally gravitate towards people. Lastly, as a judger, I am super organized! Having a preference towards planned and settled activities.…

    My personality type is INTJ. I am 78% introvert, 25% intuitive, 12% thinking, and 56% judging, (www.humanmetrics.com, 2011). I found the test to be accurate and agreed with the results. Introverts are perfectionists that have a high level of confidence. Most introverts are logical thinkers that open their minds to all possibilities. “INTJs are ideal people.

    Carls Jung develops his own theory to define personality. His belief of having balance between our inner needs and meeting the demands of society categorized the changes of personality. Carl Jung describes personality in two different dimensions, introvert and extrovert. (Page 240) Introverts are those who are occupied with their inner world meaning they are in their own thoughts and feelings. Extroverts are those that are more associated with the external worlds. From personal experience, when I was younger, my English was very limited and I was always embarrassed to speak to others and my parents never encouraged me to do so, as they always wanted me to be home right away after school. I was stuck in my own world living up to what my parents expect a young woman should be. Although, as I became older my personality changed as I was more exposed to the external world, I was working and became more independent when I realized I didn’t need to meet with my parents expectations but rather my own. As Jung’s described, as age progressed there is less pressure to meet culturally sex roles. (Page 240)…
