16 Personality Reflection
Part 1
MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is an indicator of your personality “type”, made up of 16
different types of personalities. Through a test from “16personalities.com”, I received the
“INTP” personality type. The acronym for “INTP” stands for introvert, intuitive, thinking, and
perceiving. After doing further research into this personality type, I discovered many similarities
and connections with my own characteristics and behaviours.
I: Introvert - I am an introvert. An introverted person is often described as a person who gain
energy through solitude and quiet. Although my closest friends may perceive me as outgoing and
talkative, I prioritize my moments of solitude to fully re-charge myself for future social
interactions and activities. INTPs are constantly thinking, which allows me to think about new
story ideas, and art ideas using this time.
N: Intuitive – According to 16 personalities, “People with Intuitive traits prefer to exercise their
imaginations as they seek new ideas and possibilities. They often ask, “what if?” And ponder the
possibilities the future might hold.” One of my favourite hobbies is daydreaming, all day and all
night. Even as a child, I was able to create my own imaginary universe. Each scenario to every
detail in characters, I was able to use my imagination to explore an environment filled with my
own desires. Whether it’d be a heartfelt romance story or a new controversial topic, each
“universe” was different and specifically designed to what I craved during the moment. Using
my imagination and past experiences, my creativity was endless. Through my constant “what ifs”
questions and, I was also able to quickly pick up arts to visually showcase my creativity.
T: Thinking – According to 16 personalities, “When presented with a decision, people with the
Thinking trait typically lean on objective information. Knowledge is their indispensable tool.”
Despite my imaginative ability, when I’m approached with an obstacle, or conflict, I tend to lean
on a decision based on facts and realistic information. It has helped me get through conflicts and
minimize impulsive decisions. However, it occasionally puts me in an awkward position due to
dismissing other’s emotions, as well as my own. For instance, offering blunt advice rather than
reassurance, sometimes evoked discomfort to others.
P: Perceiving – According to 16 Personalities, “Perceiving types are much more flexible when it
comes to dealing with unexpected challenges. These types tend to react to their environments
rather than try to control them, helping them to make their own luck in whatever the world
delivers.”, I’m very open-minded, understanding and able to adjust to new environment easily,
which gives me a whole lot of opportunities. I am always ready for change and go through bursts
of motivation to explore other hobbies and paths. However, this also induces a fear of
commitment. For example, my array of hobbies and interests, from music, and visual arts, to
culinary arts, and STEM fields, puts me in a difficult position to commit to a specific career path.
Despite investing time in an art portfolio for post-secondary education, I was still overwhelmed
with thoughts of quitting due to my lack of commitment. Furthermore, in certain situations, I
struggle with procrastination, often delaying things until last minute. Despite my efforts to
improve on these unhealthy habits, it may seem irresponsible to an outsider's perspective.
Part 2
INTPs possess a strong creative mind and passion for new ideas. They are extremely analytical,
honest and open-minded. However, INTPs hold themselves and others to high expectations,
while constantly overthinking every outcome and possibilities. At first glance, INTPs are suited
for career paths such as mathematicians, researchers and scientists. However, INTP’s creativity
and the ability to adapt quickly to new environments opens up broader options for future career
paths. I’m extremely creative and always thinking about new art ideas. Using my artistic
abilities, alongside analytical and independent thinking, careers such as fine arts, graphic
designers, or animator are perfect for jobs for myself and other artistic INTPs. However, careers
such as the education industry and the medical field are not typically recommended for INTPs.
This is due to their lack of emotional support and the restrictions and rules that may not allow
INTPs to think creatively.
