The Jung Typology Test is designed to identify a person’s personality type. After completing the test, I found that I was categorized as an INFJ. Before starting the test I could have easily predicted I would be classified as an introvert. I also knew I would score high in the feeling category. I decided to do a little further research on my personality type to see how accurate these results were, and what exactly they meant.
INFJ is also called “The Advocate” personality type. This personality type is summarized as a soft spoken, empathetic, and passionate person. Usually this personality type is passionate about an idea that can help many people, and are not as concerned with personal gain. When looking for friends, it is common to search for a deeper connection. It is better to have a deep conversation instead of just discussing day-to-day familiarity. A lot of the information I found felt extremely accurate. I am very in tune with my emotions, and the emotions of others. I can tell when people are angry or hurting, and I feel the need to help make them feel better. I can feel it inside my chest like a lump. It is physically uncomfortable for me to not help someone when I know I can. My close friends come to me with personal problems, or when they need help understanding another person’s way of thinking. After reading the chapter, I believe I would score high in emotional intelligence. Passion was a huge part of the description of the INFJ personality type. …show more content…
It was explained like anyone with the INFJ personality type had one strong passion that drove them through life. Every decision made was to get closer to achieving their goal. I am a very passionate person, but not in the way this website explained it. I jump from one passion to another. I can never seem to stick with one thing until the end. I could not decide if I should classify this as a strength or a weakness. Initially it sounds like a weakness, but I have learned about a variety of subjects because of this fault. Conservation is the only cause I have been passionate about for an extended period. One of my biggest struggles in day-to-day life is connecting with strangers. This is where the Jung Typology Test really nailed my personality. Finding people to talk to on a deeper level is a very hard task. I meet at least fifty people a day, five days a week. At a minimum, that is two-hundred and fifty people a week. I might have a meaningful connection with two people. It feels exhausting carrying on superficial and meaningless conversations so often. After completing the Jung Typology Test, I moved on to the diagnostic surveys for developing self-awareness. These cases bring up some controversial issues that require some serious thinking and reflection. Some of these cases are real stories I have read about with slight differences. I struggled with the ethics in the situations, and had some questions about myself by the time I was done. My favorite of the cases had to be The Escaped Prisoner. …show more content…
I put myself in the place of his neighbor, who is responsible for deciding if he should stay free or be sent back to prison. After reading the case, I knew I should send him back to prison. Our society has a set of laws and social normality’s we are expected to follow. He did not serve his sentenced time, and should be sent back. This is what I know I should decide to do. After thinking about Mr. Thompson for a while, I felt that I should not send him back to prison. He appears to be a changed man, and is doing more good than harm in our society. It seems more suitable to make him pay a large fine instead of serving nine more years in prison. Once I reached the “values” section of the chapter, I came back to this case. The postconvention classification of moral judgment, stage six, states “What is right is guided by internal, universal ethical principles. When laws violate principles, the laws are ignored.” In a way I felt like this justified me not sending Mr. Thompson back to prison, but is it acceptable to live by my own moral compass if it means I am ignoring the laws? It is difficult to determine when you should be empathetic for a
