I've taken a few Personality Tests in my day; I've been around the block a few times. This time around, I resulted as ENFP: Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceptive. The results described me and curious, creative, and imaginative - some aspects that will definitely help me in my future design career. When I am designing, ‘good’ is never good enough for me. I like to push the limits and be the best at whatever I am doing. I'm also apparently energetic, enthusiastic, and spontaneous - my friends and co-workers from home will definitely attest to that. I am unusually perceptive of people and of what's going on in the world around me. Several weeks ago I took the StrengthsQuest quiz, and it also identified one of my strengths as Empathetic. I pride myself on my ability to read people and put myself in others’ shoes. In high school, I was friends with just about everybody. Peoples’ social and economic backgrounds don’t seem to phase me. I believe this strength will help me in Design when I am interacting with people. Whether it’s my employer or fellow colleagues, I feel like I’ll be able to relate to people and push past our differences to come to a beautiful, cohesive design. MBTI identified me as a person who likes affirmation from others; support others and readily express appreciation. I'm definitely a people pleaser! When somebody told me way back when to treat others as you would like to be treated, I took it to the heart. I believe that people work better when they believe they're valued and wanted. Along with that, came likely to value harmony and goodwill. I am apt to make decisions on the basis of personal values and empathy, and I am often seen by others as friendly, perceptive, persuasive, and versatile.

Many of my results on the quiz were only slight to moderate. For example, I only scored a 3 on Extraversion. I believe the reason for this is the fact that I am so 'versatile'. I tend to act very differently based on the situation. I AM a person who enjoys her alone time for getting work done, but if I was by myself all the time I would drive myself NUTS. While I abhor group projects, I LOVE being around people. Intuition was my highest score at 20. I would agree that I focus more on the future possibilities than the here and now. Which can be helpful, but I should also learn to appreciate the current adventure. I scored a 10 on Feeling. I very much believe it's important to consider feelings when it comes to decisions. Clearly, I would also consider logic and objective attributes but if the decision is offensive I'm not going to support it. And once again, I got a low score of 13 for perceiving. I like deadlines and planning when it comes to projects and schoolwork, but when it comes to my social life and just plain living I like taking on a flexible, spontaneous approach and like to keep my options open. As they say, life is what happens when you're busy making plans.
