I'm an "ESFJ" Personality Type

After taking a short Myers Briggs personality type indicator assemssment, the results listed that I was an ESFJ.

Extrovert-Sensing-Feeling-Judging

• Extroverts tend to be more outgoing, talktative, socialable, and assertive.
• Sensing types use an organized structure to acquire factual and preferably quantitative details.
• Feeling types consider how their choices affect how their choices affect others; weighing options against their personal values more than rational logic
• Judging types prefer order & structure in relationships with the outer world; enjoy control of decision making and want to resolve problems quickly.

Personalityportrait.com describes ESFJs as "The Caregiver". [see link for full description]

Myer's Briggs is designed to:

• identify the way people prefer to percieve environment
• obtain and process information
• measure how people orient themselves to outer world

For me, the Myers Briggs assessment has increased awareness about my character and behavior. As stated in previous blogs, I'm currently experiencing a high level of evolution in regards to my growth & development. One of the first steps is to understand yourself. If you ever have the opportunity to take the MBTI assessment please do so. I also encourage comment posts to share and discuss different personality types.

My Dear Friend, Pandora!

Oh how I love my friend Pandora, she knows exactly what music to play during any given moment. Music is such a great reliever of stress.

Lately I've been listening to Pandora as I prepare for class in the morning, & I can testify that this certainly makes my mornings start of awesome! Playing air guitar in the mirror while brushing my teeth with my crest spin brush couldn't get any better.

Just in case you aren't up to speed. Pandora is an internet radio application that plays music tailored to the listener's taste. How so? First you select a genre, artist, or song and Pandora will play songs similar to that particular category. Then as the user continues to like/dislike a song selection, Pandora will take note of music that the user does/doesn't prefer.

Pandora, she knows me so well.
