Jung Typology Reflection

The Jung Typology test really made me realize how differently I see myself than how I really am as a person.  I got the results ISFJ, which means that I am an introvert, I am sensing, I choose my feelings over anything else when making a decision, and that I am more judging than perceiving.  Basically, I agree with everything except for the fact that I am more judging, just for the fact that I would have never seen myself as that type of person.

Here are my scores:
Introvert- 67%
Sensing- 1%
Feeling- 25%
Judging- 22%

I actually laughed at my score on the sensing vs intuition because I am basically in the exact middle of the two.  My introvert score made me giggle as well because I am definitely not a social person.  It's not that I don't know how to talk to people, but more along the lines that I would prefer not to be in a crowd.  The fact that I work at the mall and have to deal with people all day long actually amazes me to be honest.  Also, I think this is unfortunately where I get my judging over perceiving, seeing how I have to listen to people complain all day long, instead of being really excited to be in the mall and shopping.

The test might not assist me in writing in college. Since I am more judging, I feel like I am going to make more and more changes to my papers because I will constantly be judging them and thinking about what needs to be changed, rather than just leaving the thing along to it's own perfection.  On the other hand, my score on judging over perceiving was fairly low, so this might not be much of an issue and only come at certain times.  I think that my introversion will definitely make things difficult if I have to be in groups at all, or if I have to present my work to the class at any point and time.

On the other hand, my 1% of sensing over intuition, makes me barely have a preference. Because of this, I feel like this will make me do well with assignments because I will most likely always know what is going on.
