So after two friends have posted their results from The Myers-Briggs test I thought I would post mine too. To view their results check out their blog at this is reverb and daphne photo studio

I am a ISTJ which stands for Introverted, Sensing, Thinking and Judging.

Here are some of weaknesses as a ISTJ:
* having a gloomy view of a future
* suggesting impractical ideas
* acting impulsively, and changing things without any thought
* having intense negative feelings towards others (though these might not be expressed)

Here are some traits of a ISTJ:
* Value tradition, security, and peaceful living
* Will work long and hard to fulfill duties
* Can be depended on to follow through on tasks
* Loyal and faithful
* Stable, practical and down-to-earth
* Family-minded
* Dislike doing things which don't make sense to them
* Dislike abstract theory, unless they see the practical application
* Natural leaders
* Prefer to work alone, but work well in teams when necessary
* Extremely observant, they take in facts via their senses and store them internally
* Vast, rich inner store of facts which they rely on to understand problems which they encounter in their lives
* Profound respect for facts and concrete information
* Make decisions objectively, applying logic and rational thinking
* Dislike change, unless they are shown it's benefit in a concrete way
* Have strong opinions about the way things should be done
* Appreciate structured, orderly environments
* Have very high standards for their own behavior and the behavior of others
* Not naturally in-tune with other people's feelings
* Able to accomplish almost anything if they put their minds to it
* Community minded "good citizens"

This next paragraph describes me perfectly:
ISTJs have one character trait which puts them at a definite advantage in terms of career success - Perseverance. An ISTJ can do almost anything that they have decided to do. However, there are areas in which they will function more happily and naturally. An ISTJ will do best in a career in which they can use their excellent organizational skills and their powers of concentration to create order and structure. ISTJs seem to fit extremely well into the Management and Executive layer of the corporate business world.

It will be 9 years in March that I have worked at ups. It is the hardest job I have ever worked at and I do the same thing everyday. But it is my job and I choose to work there for now. So I will do that job to the best of my ability. I am not saying I like working there. I deal with a lot of stupid shit on a day to day basis that would make my life less stressful if I didn't have to deal with it. Which leads me to my next adventure in life.

I have decided to change things in my life that I don't like. I started working out and eating healthy to get in shape because I don't like what I have become. I am working on changing my career which will eventually lead to ending my career at ups. For that to happen I have decided to finish my 4 year degree (I only have a year left) and from there I am going to pursue more schooling in the field of computers technology.
