If you or anyone you know has ever taken a personality test, there is a good chance that it was the Myers Briggs personality test. If you have not heard of this, I will go ahead and give a short overview of what it is. This is a personality test that asks a large array of questions to gauge what type of person you are. There are 16 different personality types within this test. When they give you your personality type, they assort you into a 4 letter combination as your personality type. These are the letters that will possible appear in your test results and some of there meanings.

Learning your personality type can be the difference between feeling alone and feeling like there is someone out there who is just like you. This test does not completely justify everything about you but it can connect you with people who go through the same life experiences as you.
I, myself, am an INFJ, we are said to be the rarest personality type of all 16 types. Often times my personality type feels misunderstood. This phrase comes up a lot when searching through my own. Before learning this, I always felt that there was something wrong with me. I can’t be to specific right now as I am going to do a more in depth blog on mine later on. But upon realizing that everything I was reading about my personality type was so specific, I couldn’t help but cry. Many others of my type said they felt the same and even cried their selves. That is how amazing it was to see that other people in the world felt exactly like me, experienced life somewhat the same as me and saw the world the way I see it too. This shows that even though this test isn’t completely accurate on everything that you still benefit from it. From my experience with the test most has been pretty accurate besides a few minor things.
When taking this test I advice you to not just look at the website information on your type because that information they give doesn’t go very in-depth . To be quite honest, it is kind of hard to read those long paragraph descriptions and they get boring. I would say go to google images or pinterst and type in the letters they gave you. You will see memes and gifs talking about things only your personality type can relate to. Obviously there are some things that most people can relate to but some things are just between you. That is what makes this test so unique, you can actually see distinctive features and accurately point out what someones letters are on some cases with out them taking the test.
Once you do this, right away you will start relating to most everything. I feel that some things that in the past I could not relate to because I had not yet matured enough to understand. This immaturity might not apply to all because you might not relate and be fully grown. To that I’d say that maybe you just haven’t had the chance to utilize a certain skill to be able to relate, if that makes any sense. Now that I have aged and known my type for years, I can say that things I couldn’t relate to then, I now can.
I hope this information about Myers Briggs test was helpful and some what interesting to someone. I also hope it help keep you from straying away from those long paragraphs that those Myers Briggs dedicated websites give you. Some of those descriptions can be a bit overwhelming and hard to understand… at least for me they are. I hope you have a great day and a lucky year!
