The 16Personalities test claims I am an ENFJ-T, also known as the Protagonist. Now, I do not particularly like the title, as it feels too central. Sure, I agree with the breakdown, but “protagonist” feels wrong to me. The letters stand for extrovert, intuitive, feeling, judging, and turbulent. My results emphasize my communication, leadership, empathy, and creativity skills, all of which can be put on job applications or resumes. I certainly pride myself on my knack for communication and organization, and I always try to emphasize both in applications and/or during interviews. After taking this test, I can certainly highlight my strengths in leadership, flexibility, problem-solving, and creativity more when applying for jobs. I admire this test’s detailed analysis of these skills, potential jobs, and strengths and weaknesses. For jobs, it mentions teaching, which is my intended career path post-graduation. This is reassuring in a way, as I find so many traits that match my personality. It is nice to see that I am working towards something suitable to my personality. My primary weaknesses are my own perfectionism and overinvesting myself, and I know those to be true. Both can be good traits up until a certain point, as it is vital for one to know their limits. I am guilty of overdoing both; however, they are something I have been working to improve lately. 

I am somewhat curious about this test and the psychology behind it, as I know I took it a few years ago and got different results. When I (uncertainly) wanted to study engineering this test identified me as a Logician, which I found odd since I did not see myself aligning with that personality. Now that I have grown confident in wanting to become a teacher, I get the Protagonist, and relate to it heavily.
