My Personality Type

In e9, we took the Meyer-Briggs personality test. The Meyer-Briggs provides 4 letters to relate a person to a certain personality. For example, my personality is INTJ- Introverted; very reserved, unsocial; Intuitive; Innovative, imaginative; etc. Because the Meyer-Briggs is an internationally accepted personality test, we are able to compare our personality types to other people's. My personality is shared with Sir Isaac Newton, for example.
       
I would say that every part of my personality type according to the test is accurate. I dislike social situations but I enjoy looking for improvements to everyday things. I base my actions off of not emotions but rationality and thought. I am also very organized. Many of these things, however, I did not entirely realize until I first took the test. Ever since I've noticed them, I've began to realize the reasons behind some of my actions. I had never known why I'd rather stay at home than hang out with people, but the personality test shed much needed light on the things in myself that I didn't know.

When participating on a team, my personality type seems to accurately portray my behavior. I am able to contribute good ideas for the group, however I tend to slink back into the corner. It helps if I have a role that doesn't require much of being social. If I do, however, I seem to work it out, but I prefer roles aimed more towards logic and thinking rather than straight-on working with others. I believe it is also a problem that people try to talk to me a lot. I cherish the attention form those I don't know, but those I've become friends with know it takes me longer to open up to someone due to my introvertedness. For example, in middle school a more popular boy constantly talked to me. I couldn't tell if he was sincerely trying to be my friend or trying to mess with me, but his general forceful outwardness triggered whatever mechanism in my brain that causes me to not want to talk.
