#Introversion and Extraversion

[tmarshconnors]

"Everybody acts out a myth, but very few people know what their myth is."

"but you're so warm and friendly to people, you can't be an introvert!"

That's not how that works. I am not a little ray of sunshine, I am a battery-powered flashlight that's very bright but dies out when kept on for too long. Big difference

“The Westerner would take this to mean: “Learn your lesson and repeat it, and then you will be self-liberated.” That, indeed, is precisely what happens with most Western practitioners of yoga. They are very apt to “do” it in an extraverted fashion, oblivious of the inturning of the mind which is the essence of such teachings.”

— C.G. Jung, Volume 11, Psychology and Religion: West and East

Evidation: My Big 5 Personality Survey Results!

My (former) friend got me onto this app that gives you $10 for 10,000 points that you can turn into money (or donations). This is in exchange for your input for medical studies. You can also tie this to other health apps for extra points! 

Before we get any further, I would suggest downloading the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/evidation-reward-health/id793039965

This app actually has a lot of perks, so I am shocked as I am writing this how this has not been a tumblr blog sooner. And yet, I will let you discover the multitude of joys on this app. What I am here to talk about is me! 

Recently, a couple of personality tests came up for the following areas of one’s personality: 

Conscientiousness: Organization, Productiveness, Responsibility

Extraversion: Sociability, Assertiveness, Opposite of Introversion

Agreeableness: Compassion, Respectfulness, Trust in Others

Openness: Intellectual Curiosity, Creative Imagination

Neuroticism: Anxiety and Depression Tendencies

So, part of why I started this blog that has turned into gaming and marketing experimentation was so that one could read my blog and get to know me. So, what are my numbers? 

Numbers are just numbers right? Let’s attach some explanation to them: 

Conscientiousness (28): Those with high levels of conscientiousness tend to work hard to achieve their goals and complete tasks they’ve started. They also tend to get higher grades in school and perform better in many jobs, but are more likely to experience perfectionism and fear of failure. 

Extraversion (20): Those with low levels of extraversion tend to be less social or outgoing. They think carefully before speaking, enjoy time alone or with a few close friends, and are less likely to take part in thrill-seeking activities. If you’re low in extraversion, you may want to focus on keeping up your relationships. Research has found that social relationships may be just as important for a long and healthy life as not smoking, and even more important than being physically active!

Agreeableness (36): Those with high levels of agreeableness tend to be considerate and polite in social interactions. They prefer to resolve conflict by working together or letting things go, and find it easy to trust people and feel compassion towards others. Being higher in agreeableness may relate to a lower likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors, such as drunk driving. You may also be more likely to engage in healthy coping strategies when you’re stressed, such as seeking social support or reframing a stressful situation positively.

Openness (35): Those with high levels of openness are generally open to new activities and ideas. They tend to be creative, curious, and sensitive to art and beauty. If you’re high in openness, and thus enjoy exploring new activities and ideas, you may be more motivated to stick with a varied physical activity schedule than a familiar routine.

Neuroticism (14): Those with low levels of neuroticism may be less likely to experience negative emotions, and might tend to experience more balanced feelings and reactions during stressful situations. Low scorers may also experience a lot of optimism and resilience. Some research suggests that individuals who are low in neuroticism may be less likely to seek medical attention when experiencing symptoms. Make sure you keep up with your doctors’ appointments and have a healthcare provider investigate any new symptoms you may be experiencing. 

So, let’s resay this in basic English: 

I am a hardworking perfectionist. I don’t keep up with a lot of people but the ones I do keep up with, I am a party and a half. If I don’t know you like that you would not believe it. I am very polite and respectful, and have often been called “The Peace Keeper”. I am great in conversation for having an open mind and love a bit of variety. I work hard to be a positive person, but there are times I don’t worry enough about things. 

This is pretty on point. I love this as a self assessment, compared to doing one based on astrology or something more complicated like Meyers Brigg test. Where do you think you would score on each? Have you downloaded the app yet?

Understanding MBTI: A Deep Dive into Personality Types

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a widely recognized and respected psychological tool that helps people understand their personality types. Developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, MBTI is based on the theories of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. It has been used for decades to help people gain insights into their preferences, strengths, and weaknesses, as…

MBTI Legacy Challenge 16 Generations Inspired by the 16 Myers-Briggs Types

A TS4 Legacy Challenge by @windslar

The MBTI Legacy Challenge is inspired by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator – a pseudoscientific self-report questionnaire that measures one’s preferences on four dimensions of personality type. The test attempts to assign a value to each of four categories: introversion or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. One’s four-letter test result represents 1 of 16 possible types. The underlying assumption of MBTI is that each type has specific preferences in the way they interpret their experiences.

This legacy challenge is about diving deeper into the personalities of your sims beyond the limitations of the game. Each type’s preferences underpin their interests, needs, values, and motivation. And in exploring each generation, decisions are made with that particular personality in mind. There are no backstories; rather, there are detailed descriptions and curated lists of aspirations, traits, and careers that are deliberately left open-ended so you can create unique stories. There are also scenarios and prompts specific to each type that affect the lives of your sims in relation to their career, love life, and relationship with their children. No two MBTI Legacy Challenges will ever be the same. This challenge is for players who love structure but also love the freedom to be creative in their gameplay and storytelling.

The official tag for this challenge is #MBTILC

Writing Notes: Trait Theories

Personality traits reflect people’s characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Trait theory in psychology rests on the idea that people differ from one another based on the strength and intensity of basic trait dimensions.

3 Criteria that Characterize Personality Traits

consistency,

stability, and

individual differences.

Individuals must be somewhat consistent across situations/settings (e.g., home, work, private life, public persona) in their behaviors related to the trait.

Example: If they are talkative at home, they tend also to be talkative at work.

A trait must also be somewhat stable over time as demonstrated behaviors related to the trait.

Example: At age 30 if someone is talkative they will also tend to be talkative at age 40.

Personality traits will be different from person to person:

People differ from one another on behaviors related to the trait.

People differ on how frequently they talk and so personality traits such as talkative exist.

A major challenge for trait theorists was how to identify traits

They started by generating a list of English adjectives.

Early trait theorists Allport and Odbert identified about 18,000 words in the English language that could describe people (Allport & Odbert, 1936).

The list was later reduced to 4,500 by Allport but even this was far too many traits.

In an effort to make the list of traits more manageable, Raymond Cattell (1946, 1957) narrowed the list to 16 factors and developed a personality assessment called the 16PF.

Later, psychologists Hans and Sybil Eysenck focused on temperament (Eysenck, 1990, 1992; Eysenck and Eysenck, 1963) and hypothesized 2 specific personality dimensions:

extroversion/introversion and

neuroticism/stability.

While Cattell’s 16 factors may be too broad, the 2-factor system proposed by the Eysenck’s has been criticized for being too narrow.

Another personality theory, called the Five Factor Model (FFM), effectively hits a middle ground.

The 5 factors are commonly referred to as the Big Five personality traits (McCrae & Costa, 1987).

It is the most popular theory in personality psychology today and the most accurate approximation of the basic trait dimensions (Funder, 2010).

Traits are scored along a continuum, from high to low rather than present or absent (all or none).

This means that when psychologists talk about Introverts (e.g., quiet, withdrawn, reserved) and Extroverts (e.g., outgoing, social, talkative), they are not really talking about two distinct types of people but rather they are talking about people who score relatively low or relatively high along a continuous dimension.

The 5 Personality Traits

openness to experience,

conscientiousness,

extroversion,

agreeableness, and

neuroticism.

A helpful way to remember the traits is by using the mnemonic OCEAN.

Scores on the Big Five traits are mostly independent which means that a person’s position on the continuum for one trait tells very little about their standing on the other traits.

Examples:

A person can be extremely high in Extraversion and be either high or low on Neuroticism.

A person can be low in Agreeableness and be either high or low in Conscientiousness.

In the FFM you need 5 scores to describe most of an individual’s personality.

I think it is time for me to elaborate on my GETO IS AN INFJ theory.

(more under the cut)

Starting of with what is INFJ?

For people who somehow don't know, INFJ is a personality type according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). All of the personality types consist of four letters that mean in sequence: introversion(I)/extraversion(E), sensing(S)/intuition(N), thinking(T)/feeling(F), judging(J)/perceiving(P).

INFJ is a short for Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging.

People who are INFJ are described as quiet, with strong morals and believes that they are able to fight for. They are guided by principles, and human value is one of the priorities (which, in Geto's case, can be interpreted in two ways - non-sorceres, before he turned evil, and his friends that he wanted to protect, after committing mass murder).

INFJs balance on the border between the humanistic and the strict mind, they have an artistic soul and an analytical mind and they tend to demand a lot from themselves. They may show signs of excessive perfectionism and put more into a task than others expect of them.

Don't tell me it doesn't sound like Geto.

And I'm NOT taking that "he became an INTJ after committing genocide" bullshit. INTJ is more logical, analyzing than INFJ who is, after all, a FEELER so they focus more on their feelings than logical thoughts.

Taking the easiest way and deciding to kill all the non-sorcerers is not logical and Geto knows it (we can see it during his conversation with Shoko when she tells him that he's being childish. He knows no one will understand him and he doesn't expect them to). He's aware that he's doing wrong but he does what his FEELINGS tell him to do.

And now, the most convincing part: satosugu.

Satoru is a 100% ENTP. He walks like an ENTP, he talks like an ENTP, he IS an ENTP.

Even if we look at the memes the "INFJ x ENTP" suit the most for satosugu dynamics. LOOK IT UP.

I'm standing with my INFJ Geto theory 'till the day I die.

Your MBTI, Your Relationship With JJK Characters Final Part 8

ENTJ / ESTJ

you can find all parts here

a/n: Omg can't believe this is the last part of MBTI series, I'm glad that you enjoyed it and thank y'all for your requests 🫶🏻❤️. Thank you @deluluforcarlos55 for requesting ENTJ, also thank you @suchasecretiveninja for reading and being interested in all parts.

ENTJ

Ryomen Sukuna = Desires you

Your smart, ambitious and creative nature is a big turn on for Sukuna. He wants to use your qualities and strengths for his own advantage that's why he strongly desires to have and own you. ENTJs have a gift in achieving their goals easily without too much effort or stress. They are strong-willed with strategic thinking that makes them always a step ahead from others, that's exactly what's Sukuna needs. He likes challenges, so when his desire to control you is faced with your strong resistance, he would definitely turn it into a playful game of tag. He enjoys the thrill of hunting you down on his journey of making you his. ENTJs are known for their high sense of autonomy, so the more you resist Sukuna, the more he would get obsessed with you.

Geto Suguru = Husband.

A powerful couple respected and feared by everyone. Both driven by your desire for achievements and success. Despite being married you're still each other's best partners in business, working together to reach mutual goals. You heavily rely on each other in mostly everything. You're assertiveness compliment Suguru's smart planning. ENTJs has a high standard in men and Geto definitely met your expectations. You rarely have arguments in your relationship since both of you are good at problem solving without inserting too much feelings. Even though you too find it hard or rather afraid to open up you still try to be more open and show your weaknesses since you have protective sense towards each other. When you get extremely comfortable and in a goofy mood, you would act really extra but in a classy way.

Yuuji Itadori= A good friend

A source of motivation that's what you are to Yuuji. There's something in ENTJ that observes people, sees the potential in them and literally push them forward to master those skills. It's a big ick for them to see a wasted potential. ENTJs are fast learners with high intellect so they have no patience for slow and inefficient people, luckily Yuuji is a good match. His will to learn and better himself and his skills brought you together. You respect that kind of people; those workaholic who don't give up easily. Your different personality aspects moderate your relationship; he teaches you how to be more empathetic, grounded and you teach him how to be logical, prudent and sharp.

ESTJ

Toji Fushiguro= Boyfriend

A harmonious blend of extraversion and introversion but with mutual values. ESTJ enjoys being the center of attention, too focused on social status; something that Toji finds extremely attractive. You contribute to an organized relationship since ESTJs tend to be excellent organizers.Toji's rationality allows him to suit your personality, both of you are highly thinking individuals with judgmental sides. Two peas in a pot that's what you are. Both of you know exactly what you want from the relationship, also are brutally honest, luckily your self-confidence protects you from being offended. Toji is into the bratty type, so ESTJ would definitely be his type with your bossy and stubborn demeanor.

Megumi Fushiguro = Friend

You rely on each other, Megumi literally would trust you with his life. ESTJs are gifted with a natural sense of leadership that makes everyone around count on them. You bring structure and order to the group, that's something similar in Megumi's persona. Both of you have a difficulty to vocalize your emotions and feelings but your actions speak volumes making your friendship even stronger. Your friendship is balanced; Megumi is an introverted person with a calm demeanor so handling some complicated social situations might be hard for him so having an ESTJ friend would make it way easier for him. With your outgoing nature, you'd would take charge of those social energy draining settings. Overall you have a trustworthy, stable bond

Mahito = Enemy

ESTJs thrive in organize and structured environment, guided by strict rules, so having someone who tends to violate this harmony and chooses to be rebellious and inclines from following certain guidelines is considered a threat for the well established order that you set. To ESTJ, Mahito is a troublemaker, an individual that would only cause chaos and anarchy. Mahito's personality clashes with ESTJ authoritarian and controlling nature; creating and enmity and tension between you. Mahito's weapon is to try to spoil your plans and to-do list ,this would be faced with a negative and brutal reaction from you.

An Introvert's Guide to Winning

If you are like me who is an INTJ-T is seems like the world is not your oyster. in fact, the idea that fortune favors the brave still makes you ponder. Does that mean that if I am not brave enough, I won't be fortunate? Now imagine being an introvert who is also shy. Here are ways to win as an introvert.

Take advantage of your introversion and be a great observer. As someone who grew up shy and introverted it was hard to see my friends winning. Most introverts stay away from large crowds, they prefer smaller intimate settings and if they are socially awkward it's harder. So here is what I do, I go to a large crowd and watch people, I look at everyones body language, I walk around like I am looking for someone then I pause in awe of how good looking many of them are and how lucky I am. Then I approach the people who look shy or do not have anyone to talk to and I begin asking them questions and find similarities. Being an introvert means you spend more time in your thoughts but what are you thinking? Think in awe and approach a person based on that. It is not about how many people you can talk to but the quality of conversations you have. often times you become lit because you have found someone who thinks just like you and that makes other people want to pitch into that fun conversation that you have.

Fine tune your body language and style: So, you are invited to your bosses birthday and you have turned down many outings but you don't want to disappoint your boss by not going. So, you decide to show up. But how do you show up? You will show up looking your best, put your best foot forward and radiate the energy that is within you. Often times other people will gravitate towards you or the host might introduce you to other people.

Take the road less traveled: If you are afraid of not having a talking partner, look for other guests who do not have talking partners or look shy. They are easier to approach, so engage them by asking open ended question, show interest, and make them feel very comfortable around you. This has happened to me several times. I would go to an event and be on the lookout for the oldest person in the room that is often ignored or that person that is by the corner in the dark and illuminate their minds with my quiet extraversion.

Be a great storyteller: I do not speak loudly or know everyone in an area. I get tired quickly when I am out and about so I try to give a great story about myself or a random thing that I saw in the mst imaginative, enticing, and romantic way possible. Making the listener feel special about the conversation.

Bring the best in you: Being great at what you do will make people speak of you in rooms you never dreamed of getting into. I was recently introduced to the European Union Deputy General of Trade by my Negotiations professor because he considered me one of his brightest students and gave me an invite to the conference the diplomat attended (I was the only student in the room).

Capitalize on 1 on 1s: See opportunities to be alone with someones as a time for you to shine. During interviews be elated that this person has chosen to spend time getting to know only you. So this is your time to show off the personality that you have been hiding from the world.

Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging

(Fair warning, most of this is ripped straight from mbti sites, w/ minor wording edits from me)

Core Characteristics:

Dependable and Responsible: ISTJs are known for their reliability and strong sense of duty. They take their responsibilities seriously and are committed to following through on their promises.

Detail-Oriented: They have a keen eye for details and are thorough in their work, ensuring accuracy and precision in their tasks.

Practical and Realistic: ISTJs prefer practical solutions and realistic approaches to problems. They focus on what is achievable and avoid getting caught up in abstract theories.

Organized and Structured: They value order and structure, often planning things meticulously and appreciating a well-organized environment.

Reserved and Private: ISTJs are typically reserved and may keep their feelings and thoughts private, focusing more on factual and practical matters than on expressing emotions.

Loyal and Committed: They are dedicated and loyal to their commitments and relationships, valuing long-term stability and trustworthiness.

In Relationships:

Organized: Their organizational skills can help manage the day-to-day aspects of the relationship, ensuring things run smoothly and efficiently.

Loyal: STJs are dedicated partners who value long-term commitment. Their loyalty fosters a strong sense of security and trust in the relationship.

Cons:

Reserved and Distant: Their reserved nature may lead to emotional distance, making it challenging to connect on a deeper emotional level or to openly discuss feelings.

Resistance to Change: ISTJs may be resistant to change and new ideas, preferring to stick with established routines and methods. This rigidity can cause friction if their partner is more adaptable.

Overly Critical: They might become frustrated with what they see as inconsistency or disorganization, which can lead to their partner feeling nitpicked and criticized.

Difficulty with Emotional Expression: ISTJs can have a hard time expressing their emotions with sincerity and often use nonverbal ways to show care instead.

Challenges with Spontaneity: Their preference for planning and structure can clash with a partner who values spontaneity and flexibility, potentially leading to conflict over lifestyle differences.
