Introvert Or Extrovert?

Discovering if your an extrovert or an introvert

Introvert Or Extrovert?
Erika Taylor

I always have heard people refer to themselves as an extrovert and introvert. I never really understood what they meant so I did some research. According to Dictionary.com, an introvert"a person characterized by concern primarily with his or her thoughts and feelings." And they also define an extrovert as "a person concerned primarily with the physical and social environments." So how does one determine they are one or the other?

I continued my search and found that you can take a personality test that helps you determine, which one you are. The test is called the Myers-Briggs Test and its available online to take. I took the test and had the results sent to me via email. I learned that I was an introvert. The test also referred to me as "The Craftman" and ISTP. I discovered that ISTP referred to my common personality traits, introverted, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. The results also came with a bullet list of other common personality traits such as: highly practical and realistic, usually laid-back and easy-going with people, independent and determined, excellent "trouble shooter" who is able to quickly find solutions to practical problems, and constantly gather facts about their environment and store them away. Reading these results I thought, "wow, that one hit the nail on the head." There are multiple types of extroverts and introverts. Like my sister she got "The Provider" and extrovert. I'm proud to be an introvert and accept who I am.

The website also can provide information on yourself like what type of jobs would fit your personality the best. Take the test for yourself and discover more about yourself!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
