MBTI Reflection

When I got the results of my MBTI I was surprised that my self-assessment type and my indicator type were exactly the same. My results said that I am introverted, sensing, feeling, and judging. The one result that I was not at all surprised about was that I am introverted, that is something that I have always known. For the others I was only slightly or moderately on that side, but I believe that they match up to the way that I am.


Being an ISFJ means that I am practical, realistic, considerate, and responsible. It also means that I focus on the needs of others and take responsibilities seriously and expect others to do the same. I am also respectful of established procedures and authority and I value harmony and cooperation. It also means that I am likely to see facts clearly and accurately and am apt to make decisions based on personal values and concern for others. I am also sympathetic, tactful, and supportive of others. Other people see me as quiet, serious, and conscientious.


I believe that many of these qualities fit the way that I am. I learned that I like things to be controlled and orderly and that I like consistency. I also like to have things planned. Many of these qualities along with the ones mentioned before should greatly benefit me on my way to becoming a doctor. They should also help when I am a doctor because I am patient and persistent and I am respectful and concerned about others.


It was very interesting being able to learn about not only my personality type but those of others. Everyone is different but when I read about all of the personality types I could always picture someone that I know fitting into that specific type. I believe that learning about my personality type should help me be more aware of the things that I do and how they affect other people.
