With millions of people in this world, there are bound to be an array of different personality types. There are 16 personality types that the psychologist Carl G. Jung has come up with based off of a person's preference towards each of the four functions: Extroverted (E) vs. Introverted (I); Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N); Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F); and the dominant function, Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P).
Extroverted vs. Introverted represents the way a person directs their energy expression. Someone that is more extroverted directs their energy towards the external world, often finding that interaction with others in that world to come more naturally to them. While someone that is more introverted directs their energy expression towards their own internal world. Sensing vs. Intuition refers to the method in which someone takes in information. Sensing means that the information that a person believes mainly comes from the direct external world, however intuition means that someone mainly gathers their information from an internal or imaginative world. Thinking vs. Feeling refers to how a person process information. Thinking means that a person makes their decisions based on logic, while feeling means that a person makes their decisions based on what they feel they should do. Now Judging vs. Perceiving refers to how a person applies that information. Judging means that a person organizes all of their life events and sticks to their plan for their life. While perceiving means that they are inclined to explore and be adventurous with options that life offers them.
Knowing what each of these four functions stood and having a greater understanding of the test, I wanted to see what my personality type is from the 16 combinations, so I took Jung's test myself. My results were an INFJ, Introvert (50%), Intuitive (6%), Feeling (16%), and Judging (44%). The percents mean that I lean towards those sides of the functions by that much or by that much percentage. I looked into INFJs further to see if it truly was a great match for me and after further research I really think it comes close to describing me. Some of the things that really stood out to me about INFJs are the fact that they desire closure or completion, they put a lot of responsibility on themselves, they are good at reading others intentions, can be quieter than others but often deep in thought, and they often show great empathy towards others. Jung's Personality test really nailed it for me. I really enjoyed gaining a grater insight into the personalities, especially my own. I highly recommend you go and find out which of the 16 personalities you are and see if you agree!

Hey Jessica! Great job on your post! I think one thing that might help your posts would be to add a couple more photos. Other than that I really liked it. I actually can see all of those traits in you. I am a ISTJ, so we are not that much different! I am excited to see what you will write about in the future!
