My Personality and Character

Who Am I?


INTJ
Introvert(11%)  iNtuitive(25%)  Thinking(25%)  Judging(67%)
  • You have slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion (11%)
  • You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (25%)
  • You have moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (25%)
  • You have distinctive preference of Judging over Perceiving (67%)
INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. -Yeah, I am generally pretty sure of myself. I'm certainly not shy, comfortable around people and with handling responsibility. Indeed, when I know how to do something, I am not afraid to take charge and show everyone "what's up", as it were. What INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". -My thoughts exactly. I am  happy to take the back seat if somebody else better understands the task or materials. Once I learn what to do, though, I am quickly willing to take charge again.

INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. -Come on, people, do I really need to say anything about this? I'll  be honest, I've slowly been chipping away at my rigid expectations and desire for perfection, and it has softened to some extent. However, I simply cannot help wanting to always do my best; I detest disappointing others by producing anything less. If I truly care about something, you can count on only the finest my mind has to offer.

This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake. -Yep, I don't care what any of ya'll think! If I disagree with something, I am not afraid to voice and argue my opinion on the matter; hopefully respectfully, but I can get heated at times. My mind is mine.

they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). -What? Psh, no, flirting is fun. Enough said.

Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this. -Okay, while most of the other analysis seemed pretty general and not terribly insightful, this was the one snippet that really struck a cord with me. If someone isn't willing to pull their weight, I DO instantly lose respect for them, especially if it negatively affects me. I would like to apologize to any of my peers that have been on the receiving end of my wrath in a group project; I've certainly been a tyrannical partner on numerous occasions (sorry! D:). I think this issue is that I have such high standards for myself (ya know, the whole perfectionist thing), and then I expect the same from everyone else. Really though, as long as people put in the effort do their best according to their abilities, this character description is not an issue.

This analysis really only feels like one half of me. It sounded too cold (to be fair, my responses may have sounded a little stiff too). I do care about my friends and peers, and I like to be considerate of them, because I deeply care about all of you guys. I still am affected by emotions and feeling too! Anywho...  


Affirmation Solicitation  

Character Qualities:
1. Mature
2. Competent
3. Intelligent
4. Funny
5. Creative

It would be one thing if Madison was only intelligent and extremely competent in everything she does, but she's also constantly driving herself to do even better. When one also considers her sharp wit and her impressive artistic and creative skills, on realizes that there isn't very much Madison isn't good at. This might be a problem if Madison wasn't humble as well. 

Madison also has an intense desire to learn - to know why things happened and to question people's assumptions. Combine all of this with her strong sense of justice and her willingness to do what's right and one can see the basis for the high regard Madison is held in by her peers and this staff.

  1. Reading that affirmation made me picture you as a supreme court judge one day! You have an amazing combination of natural gifts Madison, and when that's balanced with intentionally cultivated determination, it's a pretty great combination.

    Great reflection; your refutation of the flirting piece made me grin. (You're right; it is fun!)
    10/10
