+\medskip\penalty200 + +I was not very surprised with these results except by how clearly they +confirmed my existing beliefs about myself. +I consider myself very even-tempered and satisfied, my very low +hostility/anger scale and high satisfaction with life confirmed. + +I've also taken the Myers-Briggs/Jung Typology test before, and last +time I took it, I got ENFP, which is both who I believe I am and who I +want to be, very personable and in-touch with my feelings. +Interestingly, this is a change from results I've gotten in the past, +which were always typically extraverted, but they used to be the more +``analytical, considerate'' type of personality (sensing, thinking, +judging) because I changed my mind about what sort of traits would make +me happier. + +And the highly external locus of control makes a lot of sense with my +socially-oriented politics (Marxism). +I understand how strongly one's environments impact their choices, their +disposition, and their ability to control their environment. +It has also made me deeply sympathetic for other people's choices, which +I think makes me a lot less hostile and more forgiving. + +My satisfaction with life correlates really well with my socio-economic +status and the social desirability of my life plus +non-competitiveness---meaning I can be content with my life and ignore +anything ``negative'' that might happen. + +The main concern I have about these tests is that I'm rating myself more +on my aspirations than accurate self-perception. +Also, I've heard speculation around the inaccuracy and instability of +the Meyers-Briggs test, so I'm personally a bigger fan of OCEAN +(Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and +Neuroticism) traits because they were found to be stable over long +periods of time and more closely respect the fact that personality is a +spectrum instead of 16 tightly-aligned categories. + +These survey results don't give me any desire to improve myself because +I'm already very satisfie with my life and my interpersonal relations. +Probably my most surprising result would be that having an external +locus of control doesn't demotivate me because I still believe that +labor, social striving, and social changes do have power to influence +change. +I just reject the idea of individualist modes of change, and I believe +that rewards aren't automatically going to be justly distributed. +I'm glad that none of these results were surprising because that would +mean I don't know myself very well. +I also disagree with some of the external locus of control questions, +like the one about war. +That question makes more sense with a view of war as the result of a few +people's choices, and doesn't really make sense with a social +interpretation of politics. +However, I still got an accurate approximation of my personality, so I +can't complain. + +My Myers-Briggs results tell me that I like being around people and I +get energized by their presence (extraversion), which isn't very +surprising. +Of course, I can still get drained from meeting too many new people or +having a lot of small talk-y conversations, but I really do like and +look forward to spending time around people I know even moderately well. +I think that I fall into the category of moderately intuitive thinker, +because I don't believe that my own beliefs are founded in any pure +reasoning, and I really like working with theoretical ideas, which is +why I'm considering work in a research or academic field. +I also am very open and agreeable, so the ``perceiving type'' +(preferring freedom and flexibility) makes a lot of sense for my +character, but I'm not opposed to settling down quickly on an idea if +the situation demands it. +I also try to prioritize people and emotions as much as I can over +invalidating people with ``facts and logic,'' since that sort of thought +process is simply rude. + +\bye -- cgit
