My MBTI Results

My MBTI Results

By: Brian Seda

            There are a number of things that I can take away from my MBTI results. Knowing these results will help me to become a better student at Iowa State. I found out that my style is ESTP. These four letters stand for extraversion, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. This is information can helped me learn what types of learning styles will benefit me.

            There are a few things that surprised me about my MBTI results. I was very surprised that I take in information by sensing and not intuition. This means that I focus on the here and now and I don’t take in information by seeing patterns or the big picture. This is useful information because it means that I may need to plan out when to do my homework and work on big projects. I know that I am very bad at leaving things to the last minute, so I now know that it is important for me to see the big picture and plan things out.

            These results definitely make me more aware of areas that I may need to work on. I know that I need to be more intuitive and plan out my projects and studying more than I do now. This means that I can now try to improve in these areas and by doing this it will help me achieve good grades here at ISU. Another area that I need to improve on is being more organized when it comes to studying for tests. I need to start writing the main points after I read a chapter to help me study when it comes to the test. If I can improve on this I feel that I could get a better grade on tests.

            These results can definitely help me achieve my goals while here at Iowa State. I am week in areas such as Intuition and Judging. By knowing my weaknesses it will help me to improve in these areas and improve my overall grades. The MBTI survey was a very helpful tool to learning more about my personality. Hopefully I can achieve my goal of having a 3.25 GPA in my first semester of college. 

            Overall I found it very rewarding to learn more about my personality. The MBTI survey helped me learn more about how I think and make decisions. It also helped to show me my weaknesses and got me to think about how I can improve on these areas. I think that new incoming Hixson scholars would also benefit greatly by taking the MBTI survey.
