ESTJ!

 

 "When we put people in boxes where they can only be one or another, we miss the opportunity to see people as diverse as they are"

In many ways this statement is very true in today’s society.  By literally “categorizing” people we do just that.  We look at entirely different personalities and attempt to compare them to one another so that we can better understand.  HOWEVER, I believe that, in a way, being categorized allows for people to develop further within those realms and better understand themselves because of it.  For example, because I now understand my categorization to be ESTJ, I know a lot more about who I am.  Not only that, but how I behave and things to watch for and improve upon in the future. 

I think that the MBTI very well described my personality in most of the categories; in fact it was almost eerily perfect.  However, two of my category descriptions were very much on the edge and therefore I feel as though I fall a little bit into both.  Before the test I believed that I would be categorized as a feeler instead of a thinker because I have many characteristics that fit both. The test also addressed helped me realize and focus in on some of my strengths.  A few of these are my outspoken and talkative qualities, being organized, keeping on top of things, being a model citizen and role model, and thinking through things logically in order to arrive at the best decision.  The test very well categorized these strengths and made me more aware of what it is that I do well.
