According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment I did last Tuesday, I am an INTJ. "I" stands for Introversion preferred to extraversion; "N" stands for iNtuition preferred to sensing; "T" stands for Thinking preferred to feeling; "J" stands for Judgment preferred to perception.
As I looked through the detailed description of INTJ personality type, I felt that it was exactly describing me. The following are some of the traits of INTJ:
- Extremely logical and rational. I like difficult theoretical challenges. That is why I love mathematics and science and did very well in these subjects throughout my primary and middle school.
- Have no patience with confusion. Exactly, I cannot stand any confusion in almost everything, especially in the process of learning mathematics and science. I am always forcing myself to understand every concept, every law and every formulation completely and clearly. Also, I often get annoyed with arts subjects, like History, Chinese and English, because these subjects appear not so rigorous or logical.
- Have very high standards for performance. I am never satisfied with my performance. I scored 95 or so in mathematics and physics almost every time, which is OK in an objective perception. However, I aimed to get full marks every time. Nevertheless, when I got full marks, I thought, "The exam is very easy. Getting full marks is not a big success."
- Future-oriented. When I was in Junior Middle One, six years before entering the university, I had started looking for majors that suits me and planning how to score high in order to be admitted into the top university in China. Moreover, before flying to Singapore, I had started planning the course schedule and considering what programmes to join in the university. Now, I am concerned about PhD study.
- Work best alone, and prefer to work alone. Exactly, I am not good at cooperating with other people. However, I hope to develop group working skills in the future because I am now aware of the importance of group work.
