My Personality Type

My personality type is ENTJ which stands for Extravert, iNtuitive, Thinker, Judger. This means that I am more of a people person, I prefer groups, although I am only 1% extrovert meaning I have no preference to extroversion or introversion. Intuitive means I like to think about things in the future rather than use my senses to see what is going on now. Thinker means that I make decisions based on thinking and reason. I think through situations. Finally Judger means I like a clean cut lifestyle. I like to keep things neat and symmetric. A famous ENTJ is Aristotle, the Greek philosopher.

I believe my type describes me incredibly well. I work well with others, although I take control, and also work well on my own. I do like to think of future possibilities and not just live in the now, although I sometimes do. Most of the time I make a decision based on thinking of possible outcomes, which is very true. Many times I try to put my feelings aside although they can get the better of me. Although I have yet to be diagnosed to be OCD I personally believe I am. EVERYTHING must be symmetric, otherwise it will bother me. knowing my personality type does help me understand certain things about me, such as the symmetry and working well in groups.

My personality type shows why I like taking control of group and family situations. When I do need to take control, the group works out when, although when I do not it challenges me personally. People have thought that I am being rude or too controlling when that is only my nature. There are some people that are just too much of an extravert for my personality.
