College is a time for growth, reflection, and paving a path to who you want to be. One of the greatest things I was introduced to during my freshman year in college was The Myers-Briggs Personality Test. The test put 4 letters into my mind that provided me with a concrete description of who I am and how I operate. I hold those 4 letters close to my heart and I live by them. The quotes connected to my personality type resonate deep within my body. If you haven't, definitely take the test and check out your 4 letters here.

If you want to be touched to your core, find your four letters then read the 4 quotes selected for each personality type.
