I'm sitting here, tired as I could ever be, trying to explain in words my Meyers Brigg's quiz results. I'm stressed out, sleep deprived, and a little worried about my future at UT. But its all ok! I know I will eventually get things straight and my college experience will fly by in flying colors! only one things....I STILL don't have my course anthology.
Now who's fault is it that I don't my course anthology? Mine! No quotes for this assignment! My failure to truly adhere to Mr. Bump's advice on time management has left me with the inability to constantly pester the guys at Jenn's (those jerks!) about my long awaited course anthology. Do I feel like a fool walking in without my class anthology! Of course, but I have no one else to blame but myself.
Which brings us to my quiz results. Introverted, intuitive and perceiving? Interesting. Introverted and intuitive are labeled as some of my weakest characteristics at 11 and 12 percent, respectively. (Thinking the T in INTP, at 1%, is at this point not even worth mentioning) Perceiving is a whopping 67%. Really? Let me think about that one a little bit...
I supppose it makes sense though. Once one of my friends gave me the greatest compliment of my life: apparently, I am incredibly keen about my friend's social situations. Does that make me a sort of oracle from ancient greece? Or does that make me just a super alert guy to what's going on with my friends.... I honestly cannot say.
Am I happy with my position as an INTP? Well let me check with some other, more famous INTPs....David Hilbert? A famous German mathematician from the early 20th century? I guess I can relate with that....
But the point of this quiz was never to relate with any famous people in history. It was to understand more about myself. Perceptive it says...I've never thought myself as a sort of Yoda. If anything, I saw myself as a nervous, self-doubting Luke Skywalker!
Perception is a very admirable trait in a person, but I hardly doubt it really applies to me. But at the same time, perhaps that is something that is very definitive of my nature...never truly able to appreciate my own abilities and never truly able to admit they even exist. But hopefully, if anything, this class will help me to appreciate these qualities.
