So I not so long ago I completed the Jung Typology test... what an interesting tool this is! As I went through the questions, I was amazed at how I had to really reflect on my daily life and how I handle different things. But even more interesting and enlightening - the typology indicator! At the conclusion of my test, I was typed as ESFJ (Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling, Judging). Reading over the indicator report, it is intriguing how this nailed me to a tee!
Myself as a student find it, when distracted, very hard to focus on my schooling and homework. This becomes very challenging around my house - being a stay-at-home mom of 4. It's a constant obstacle as I begin this first semester of college. It seems as though someone else always in need of something. Everyone always comes before me - or at least it seems that way. It's always been a down-fall of mine to be a people-pleaser. The typology indicator pinned this one! I have to find a way to put myself first, so that I can more efficiently and with less stress complete my assignments. I do not like to procrastinate and yet find myself doing homework assignments on the day they are due - it is more than my brain can handle at times. Very interesting to me is the fact that my typology indicates that I like to discuss and work in groups; which should may my English course a success, if I take full advantage of my resources. The discussions make me feel involved and with an online course, I think this is going to be key! One of the other areas regarding me being a student that I really could learn from is that I require structure for my learning - especially to be able to process. If only I could find structure so there is adequate time for me to focus on nothing but my school work.
After evaluating the writing segment of my indicator - I have a lot to learn that could be essential to my writing. I do prefer to write (and read) on personal experiences as opposed to specific topics. I am very opinionated and emotional so it can be difficult not to reflect this in the little bit of writing that I do. The previous work that I have done in my composition class (which consists of about 2 weeks) is wanting to hold me back because I haven't seen the results of them yet. I find myself wanting to reflect back on my previous work as an indication of how I am doing. Am I communicating properly? Are there things that I am reflecting on that I shouldn't be? Is my time being well-used in forming my thoughts and feelings onto a page? This blog is probably a real good reflection in how I could better learn from the concept of needing to review my writings and editing them of useless personal information and feelings and making sure I am including proper elements.
I think I am going to have to spend a lot more time really reviewing my typology indicator to better myself as a person, a student, and a writer.
