Anyone ever do the Myers-Briggs personality evaluation? I figured I am stuck in therapy and kind of depressed because I do not know how to make myself feel better. I decided I should be honest and get to know myself and accept who I am rather than who I want to be in order to get down further with therapy and healing.
I guess I am self searching. Every time I bring up a personality worry about myself to my therapist, (example, I like to read and write and do individual activities I don't enjoy working in teams. I am not motivated by that. I like being alone because it is peaceful and growing up was hectic. I prefer solitude so why do I feel bad about wanting some dang peace?) she would always tell me that, that is okay and it is just a personality thing. I kind of shoulder shrugged it, I am not sure if it was unwillingness to admit that I am in introvert. How crazy?
I remember one of my favorite psychology professors was a huge advocate for this personality test. Which is used a lot in assessing human personality. I remember the first time I took it, I was lying. I wanted to be an extrovert because that is what a lot of societies call for, especially in the United States. I have felt bad about how I am my whole life and never quite fitting in. i have felt bad because I am an introvert and nobody praises that. However, in order to heal I have decided to embrace it.
I am an INFJ. It's the rarest type of personality (about 1-3% of people are this, including Martin Luther King Jr.) no wonder I always feel bad about being different.
Anyways it describes an in depth analysis of your personality based on questions. It's not just one of those personality test online, this one has been studied and researched since the 1940s.
I know PTSD is more so a mood thing and maybe we should focus on our basic personality strengths and embrace those.
Anyways take the personality test and get to know yourself better so you can feel more in control and less bad about stuff, like I do. Maybe this will help, if not it is pretty fun to do when you have nothing else to do.
Supporters you can take the test too, this is met for everyone. Use it how every you want to.
It won't let me post the link, but just google the Myers-Briggs Type indicator. It should be an organization website. After you find out your type and read you can google it and research it more. There are even forums for the different personality types.
