Jung May Have Met Me Before...

Alright people, I just took the Jung Typology Test. This is supposed to tell you what kind of student and person you are. After taking it, getting bored, stopping and retaking it... I think it is safe to say that this test actually figured me out pretty well. 

After reading the explanation of just what these letters mean, I understand that there are more like me. I am not alone when people look at me thinking that I am insane while I explain four different scenarios at once. I have brothers and sisters just like me. Maybe we can make some kind of group that gets together and goes about confusing people with our conversations. Probably not a good idea really... I have always thought as myself as a rather intelligent person, though I rarely think about the things that I do and say before it happens. I can definitely say that "mischievous benevolence" is the new phrase with which I will explain my personality to those that I meet. I can tell you for a fact that this same jumping about when I talk happens when I write. It really makes editing a beast of a task. I am not sure how many of you have had to switch whole paragraphs around because it explains the concept you were talking about at the beginning of your paper but it gets tiring. Simply a pain. I cannot really figure out yet how this test will effect my writing throughout college but perhaps I will be able to find a way to settle down on my spastic jumping about. 

Honestly I would have to say that the only thing I did not agree with was the desire for elementary education. Perhaps this is because I watched my mother as an early elementary teacher for all of my youth. It made her the happiest person in the world, it also put her in the hospital on more than one occasion with stress and unrest due to school. After watching all of what had occurred with my mother's teaching career I can not in good conscience say that elementary education. There has already been too great of a sour taste in my mouth for dealing with another person's child and their lack of decency. 

Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully take something away from it. Whoever actually reads this should definitely take the Typology test for themselves and let me know what their results are! Thanks again!

  1. David - Good. As the indicators are defined, how do they apply to you? How will this impact your writing and yourself as a student? ~Ms. A.
