Typology and Writing

     I have never really thought about what type of writer I am. I have always completed my writing assignment and turned it in. I have never really enjoyed writing. I don’t write in a journal. I don’t have a desire to write. Sometimes when I write I get lost in the writing. Not lost in a good way. I get to a point and I feel stuck. I feel like I can’t make it through the assignment.     
     I received a 56% on Introvert. I do believe this score should be much higher. I am constantly wanting to be alone. I find being alone gives me the time to relax and just do what I want to do. I love sitting in the dark with a coffee, warm blanket, and a funny TV show. I rarely want to go out. In the winter, it is too cold. In the summer, it is too hot. I prefer being in my house than going to parties. I do attend 1 party a year. I put on my fanciest dress and heels. I spend hours at the Teal to Heal Ball. I go to this event because it helps women in the Ozarks surviving Gynecological Cancers. When I go to Baseball games, I find myself having panic attacks with all the people around me. My heart starts racing and I get sweaty palms. My hearing feels like everything echoes. It scares me sometimes.     
     I received a 50% on Sensing. I think this score is about right. I do get emotional when the situation has to do with me personally. I am not the kind of person to cry at movies. I do have a hard time when people around me are sad. I cannot relate to them. I tend to stay away from people suffering from loss of family or friend. I just don’t know what to say to people experiencing that loss. I was always taught to suffer in silence. To never show emotion in public. It is hard for me to communicate me feelings. I tend to bottle it all up until it explodes. It has been this way since I was a kid. I was never an emotional person.     
     I received a 38% in Thinking. I am not sure of what to think about this one. When I do get into the thinking process, my mind tends to wonder. I will be focused on something like government and I will end up on shoes. I have short term memory problems. I am not sure why I can’t remember things that were told to me several times. If I don’t write it down, I will never do it.     
     I received a 67% in Judging. I do believe this to be about right. I don’t necessarily judge other people. I am a harsh judge to myself. I feel like my best is never good enough. I feel like I should be like the girl next to me. Always looking her best and never failing. I do fail. When I fail, I feel destroyed. It takes a lot for me to get back up and try again.     
     I don’t think I have a bad perception of myself. I do wish I could improve as a writer. Expand my communication skills. Explore the possibilities of the unknown. I do think that if I write about my experiences it will help me break through to the next chapter of writing. I need to discover what will take me to the next level of writing. I need to get past being an introvert and judging myself and just be free. I think this test has made me discover who I am. I hope it will help me become who I want to be. What type of writer I can become.

  1. Amber - Good work. Be sure to understand the language within its context. For example, judging does not really have anything to do with how we perceive others, not judging, but has to do with your organizational skills - time wise and energy wise. Comparing your indicators to your studying and writing will be easier if you define the terms well. ~Ms. A.
