MBTI Unraveled: A Journey of Self-Discovery
In the vast tapestry of human personalities, the MBTI offers a fascinating lens through which we can explore and understand ourselves and those around us. Each person is a unique masterpiece, and MBTI serves as a key to unlocking the mysteries of our character.
The students of the business school all possess their distinct MBTI personality hues. Some prefer solitude in leisure time but are proactive in networking with peers at work due to ambition or environmental factors. This separation between life and work shows the complexity of our personalities. Others may be concise online but very talkative offline, recognizing the different efficiencies and vibes of these two realms. And then there are those who are socially anxious in social settings but passionate about exploring nature. Could this be explained by being introverted when facing people and extroverted when facing nature? Indeed, we are all multi-faceted, and MBTI cannot fully define us.
For example, take Wang Yiqing from Accounting 231. MBTI is a rational way to know ourselves, but it is not a label or a shackle. It's just a tiny ornament on our lovely selves.
An ENFJ, as described by An Rui, is like a princess who can slay dragons. Their positivity is a force to be reckoned with.
An ENFP, known as the happy puppy, acknowledges their flaws like being emotional, lacking consideration in actions, and having a short attention span. But they have the ability to generate their own emotional value, cherish freedom, and be perceptive. Life for them is a wide-open wilderness.
As an ESFJ, Chen Zixia from Accounting 213 plays the role of providing emotional value in groups. Beneath their talkative and extroverted exterior lies sensitivity. They unconsciously care about others' feelings and strive to keep things harmonious. However, they often find it hard to ask for help. They love making plans and get anxious without a detailed one for outings. ESFJs should unload unnecessary emotional burdens and be more true to themselves.
INFP, as described by Fang Ziheng from International Economics and Trade 231, values internal harmony above all else. They are sensitive, idealistic, loyal, and have a strong sense of honor for personal values. They are compassionate, understanding, and sensitive to others' emotions. They avoid conflicts and seldom express strong emotions but can be warm and friendly once they open up.
Blue Jingyi from Business Administration 231 is an ENFJ. People with this personality type are warm, friendly, positive, have leadership skills, strong communication abilities, compassion, insight, organizational skills, and creativity. But they may face challenges like over-involvement, emotional fatigue, and difficulty in saying no. The MBTI is just a reference, not a definitive label.
Lin Wanying from Accounting 212 is a typical INTJ. Their I-ness makes it hard to communicate freely in new settings initially, while their J-ness keeps their life in order with detailed to-do lists and travel plans. MBTI has become a new friendship guide for young people.
Exploring the mystery of MBTI is like opening a window to understand ourselves and others. It's a key to opening our hearts and embracing the world. While our personalities are not set in stone, MBTI can guide us on our journey of growth and self-discovery.
