ISTJ

Yesterday I had the opportunity to take the Myers Brigs Type Indicator. I have taken the assessment before, but it was really fun to take it again and compare my type to the other interns.

Read this description... it is almost scary how perfectly it describes me!

ISTJ: Introvert-Sensor-Thinker-Judger Introverts tend to be reflective, reserved and private. A popular misconception is that Introverts are shy - this is not necessarily so. They draw their energy from their own thoughts and the time they spend alone. Introverts do not need people around them all the time. Sensors live in the present. They rely on facts, handle practical matters well and like things to be concrete and measurable. Thinkers make decisions using logic and impersonal analysis. They think with their heads rather than their hearts. Judgers prefer a lifestyle that is decisive, planned and orderly. They like a life that is organized and controlled.
