Section 1-2: Peer Results of MBTI.

You ARE unique.. (or at least one in sixteen)

My class is a fairly small one, consisting of myself, 12 peers and one professor. There are 16 different personality types possible for MBTI. It is interesting that in our class then no two individuals had identical personalities. It is also interesting that when we were offered the choice to change our MBTI results according to our personal feelings in regards to the outcome of the test, only one individual chose to do so... is this reflective of their personality as well? I am aware that we are a small sample but surely our class is somewhat unique in this regard, which brings some interesting questions to mind.

-Are there certain types of personalities more dominant in a university setting?

-Are there certain types of personalities more dominant in society?

-Will the grades each student achieves be reflective of their personalities?

-Will the majority of the class get along or be at odds due to the uniqueness of each individual?

While I have yet to find exact answers to many of the questions written above, I have throughout the course gained enough knowledge to take educated guesses at the answers... they are as follows:

-No, a personality type may be more dominant in a specific field of study but there are enough different areas that each personality type will find a niche in some area of post-secondary studies.

-Because a part of who we are is influenced by external forces, and society as a whole tends to be heading towards a more extroverted locus, I believe certain types are becoming more frequent

-No, the amount of time and effort put into the coursework will reflect the grades, that being said, the ease at which each student applies said effort may vary greatly due to each personality type

-This belongs again in the hands of each individual and I do carry a small personal pride in the comradery that my peers have shown in no matter how small regard to one another.

Note to the Professor

I've been curious about this all semester and if you feel comfortable in sharing... what is YOUR MBTI result? and do you think your current career and/or hobbies fit in line with this classification? Or do you find that you oppose the typical description of your personal MBTI evaluation? (I am of course making the assumption that in your line of work that you have taken the full fledged examination for MBTI... and I am aware that this assumption is nothing more than just that. an assumption.)
