Know Your Audience Blog

After evaluating not only the answers that I and my peers asked, but also the questions themselves I was able to find out a little bit about them. Apparently, I have some intellectual people in my class. I noticed a lot of very well thought out and explained answers to some of the questions. Also, a lot of the questions, although simple, gave off a very deep meaning. One person asked if you could be a flower, what flower would you be. I'm not sure why, but I really liked that question. I feel as if to someone who was knowledgeable in that field that could tell a lot about a person. My question was if you could change one thing about yourself, whether it was a physical and personality trait, what would it be? I was very surprised at how open people were with what they disliked about their selves. I mentioned a personality trait of mine, but I also really wanted to mention how much I hate my chin... that's an odd thing not to like about yourself, but it's something I've always hated. A few people mentioned personality traits, such as being judgmental, being to open to things, and being more confident, while others just really wanted to be more thin or have a prettier smile. It made me realize everyone has something about themselves that they dislike, Finally, one other question that I really liked that was asked was if you could change one thing in the world, what would it be. So many people mentioned hate and racism and negativity and I loved this. I'm such a strong advocate for love and kindness. I just wish everyone would show kindness to others and be more positive and it was so heartening to see that so many others felt the same way, now just like the professor said... if only everyone would act upon their opinions then maybe we could see some change.

INFJ

So, apparently, I'm an INFJ. 

In care you aren't aware of what that means, it means I am an introvert, intuitive, feeling, and judging according to the Jung Typology test.

I'm going to begin this post by explaining what I agree with on my personality description. I love involving myself in humanitarian work. I volunteer when I can with charities and food drives and in high school I volunteered at my local humane society. Also, I greatly agree with the statement that I am oftentimes mistaken for an extrovert because I am around people a lot. However, I am only close with a select few. I don't even have a best friend... I definitely am an introvert. I feel as though, I withdraw into myself a lot.... but as a writer I find these times of extreme introversion to be helpful. This is when I am the most creative and willing to write about my experiences and feelings and ideas that I have rushing around in my head. When I used to journal (I stopped a couple of years ago), this would be the times that my journal entries were the longest and most detailed. I find myself extremely empathetic - always putting myself in others shoes. I also, am really good at reading people...I can tell when others are upset before most people. It mentions writing as a possible career choice and I have thought about being a writer on the side many times, so I find this ironic.

As far as disagreements with the description, I didn't find much. However, the description mentions that I have a rare combination of being a "doer" as well as a dreamer. I somewhat, agree with this however... I'm not much of a "finisher." I always come up with elaborate ideas for story plot lines, or recipes in the kitchen, or just ideas that would be fun to do and I almost never finish them.
