For the past few years I've been interested in star signs and what they supposedly mean. Personally, I'm an Aries... yeah mine doesn't really match my personality much at all. The thought that because you were born on this day and this month that everyone with that same star sign must be x,y, and z isn't very realistic... but it's still interesting to look at.
In high school, most people have to take the Myers-Briggs. Basically it is a personality examination that gives an analysis of your personality traits. It shows how people perceive the world around them and how they make decisions. I ended up with INFJ, which makes up about 1-2% of the worlds population... so knowing this I feel pretty cool... not gonna lie. I began reading more into my results and I realized a lot of good and bad qualities about myself, whether I choose to accept them or not. My results told me what INFJ was, meaning Introverted, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging. The website told me that my personality type is creative, insightful, decisive (HA), altruistic, and many more. Of course not everyone can be perfect, but one of my negative traits was my perfectionist traits. I read more into why I burn out so easily. I've realized that I have a habit of thinking that everything always has to have a deeper meaning (when in reality, not every little thing is a metaphor). I'm really sensitive. I've also learned that any job in the Psychology field or as a counselor is typically what my personality type gravitates towards, because I need to feel that there's a sense of meaning behind my work. As lame as it sounds, this test really sparked my interest and I watched a lot of videos on the topic and read many articles about it. I don't feel this exam completely matches my personality, but it does come pretty close. It also helped me realize there are some things I need to keep working on personally. Especially taking things too personally and thinking everything has to have meaning (but lets be real that ones not fading at any point soon). So whether you're chasing after the stars (signs) or clicking on your Myers-Briggs results, just know that there are good and bad qualities in yourself and that you are exactly where you are supposed to be right now at this very moment. The stars aligned and placed you where you were supposed to be. Don't change that. No matter what anyone or anything says about you, just understand your worth. Also if you're interested in this personality test, you can take it at: 16personalities.com Maybe you'll discover something new about yourself or maybe you won't... but it never hurts to look into! -Kariann
