If anyone has ever felt a little bit lost or ‘empty inside’ I hope that
you will relate to me when I say several times; I have without a doubt question
‘Who am I?’. The older I’m getting
the more lost I felt and the more times I questioned my beliefs and what I
felt. I guess a part of me didn’t feel like I fit in to any labels nicely and
then it made me think ‘What kind of person am I?’
I can’t explain why I ended up spending my nights doing different
personality test and what I was hoping to gain from them but for some unknown
reason it made me feel better. But Carl Jung test gave me some clarification
and indication why I act the way I do.
A brief background about Carl Jung work; there are a total of sixteen
different personality types. The grid below should help for those who are not
familiar with his work.
So you have the first condition –
whether you are an extrovert or an introvert. So in the four code I came out
with I was an extrovert (which means I like to engage with people). The second
letter in the code is for Intuition but it’s vs is Sensing. I came out as
Introversion (it means Perceiving new potential). The third condition is Thinking
vs Feeling and as you can see in my code I score higher on feelings; it means
that I make choices based on my core beliefs. The fourth condition; is Judging
vs Perceiving… (Click here if you are interested in taking the test)

Like everything
there are advantages and disadvantages and today I will explain why having ENFP
personality trait can suck:
N U M B E R O N E : Having loads of idea’s and plans which you never follow through cause
you’re completely unorganised.
N U M B E R T W O : Wanting to experience everything but being so impatient you just want to
do it immediately
N U M B E R T H R E E : Never being 100% happy with
everything because you keep contradicting yourself
N U M B E R F O U R: Freaking out your friends and
family because of how much you stress when things don’t match up to the plan in
your head..
N U M B E R F I V E : People constantly
accusing me of flirting – I’m just being friendly!
N U M B E R S I X : Shocking people about how strong your
beliefs are because majority of time you are easy going
N U M B E R S E V E N : Getting bored a lot
quicker than the average human being
N U M B E R E I G H T: Constantly sticking
with bad relationships (not just partners)
because you can see how things COULD be and you focus on that and not really
focus on what things are like in reality
N U M B E R N I N E: Forever forgetting
to eat or get the right amount of sleep because eh who cares about your
physical needs?
N U M B E R T E N: Wanting to be in
social situations and meet people but also being very socially conscious!
N U M B E R E L E V E N: For always working towards the goal of the ‘ideal self’ and not just
being happy with who you are right this instant
N U M B E R T W E L V E: Needing more alone
time compared to other Extroverts but then getting restless after too much time
N U M B E R T H I R T E E N: Being more than happy to get into a
long distance relationship because the idea of the concept of love but not
looking at the long term goal in things – so it then tends to go south!
N U M B E R F O U R T E E N: When my relationship
goes wrong, I forget that it’s a mutual thing and I tend to keep questioning
why things went wrong and what would happen differently
N U M B E R F I F T E E N : Being accused to be
on drugs when you're not because I’m everywhere
N U M B E R S I X T E E EN: Talking to yourself out loud because there is so much going on in your
head you need to separate it.
N U M B E R S E V E N T E E N: 99.99999% of the
time you hate being told what to do!
N U M B E R E I G H T E E N :During some point
in the week, I forget all social media/networks/mobile phones and switch of
from the world and sometimes I may not text anyone back for a few days/weeks/months
&
N U M B E R N I N E T E E N : I hate
being criticized and cannot stand it if someone else is
being criticising to another person
