Personality Type: Introversion, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging

Abstract
The following pages will describe my Myers-Briggs Personality Score. I have completed the same if not similar tests many times and I always end up with the same score, Introversion, Sensing, Feeling and Judging. That being said my feeling category is always borderline on the thinking as well. It’s like a 52 to 48 % split so it depends on which questions the tests ask how close I am to feeling/thinker. To me that just shows that I make my decisions based on my feelings and by thinking through the consequences of my choice.
Personality Type: Introversion, Sensing, Feeling and Judging. I have always agreed with my personality type scoring. I used it as part of my explanation for our very first question when you asked us to describe our personality. I have come to understand my personality type and see how it affects my everyday life including my career. That being said I always remind people of what Thompson and Henderson (2007) discuss, the letters indicate the preference yes, but it’s actually the numerical score that indicates the strength of that preference. Therefore to say that I am a feeler is not 100 % accurate. My preference is feeling however that score is always just over the 50/50 mark. I would also consider myself a very logical person especially in particular areas of my life for example my career. Overall my personality type matches me very closely. Heiss (2007) states, that the number one characteristic for ISFJ’s is the desire to serve others. I would have to agree with that statement as I can remember being as young as four years old and telling my mom that I wanted to work with kids when I was all grown up. I have always felt this deep connection with other people and found myself to be extremely empathetic almost to a fault. It can be extremely draining to feel all of the emotions of the people around me. If you look at my
