So I survived my first year away at college. *deep sigh of relief*
I know its kind of a lame excuse, but I was busy a lot of the times, or just focused on other things, that’s why I haven’t posted on this blog in about six months.
Now that it’s summer I plan to fix that.
You’ll be seeing some new poetry soon, although I can’t promise I’ll be able to churn it out daily. But stayed tuned anyway!
I haven’t been posting a lot these past few months because I have moved to a University, and have been busy not only settling but also with schoolwork and extracurricular activities.
Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me in spite of the lack of content being regularly posted.
So, psychology has become a rather recent interest of mine. I mean- I guess I’ve been intrigued with abnormal psychology and personality psychology for some time now, but I didn’t really research it until I took Psychology 101 this past year (which was definitely one of my favorite classes, losing only to Advanced Creative Writing).
About a month ago I became interested in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test. Some people think it’s bull. Some people stand by it. I think it’s interesting and, yes, I do stand by my results.
Though I haven’t taken the official test, I’ve taken multiple (okay, 3) online tests and each one has produced the same result: INFJ. Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging.
Researching deeper and deeper into the meaning of this four letter combination offered surprising insight into how I have felt about myself, and even put some aspects of my personality into sentences that perfectly described them in a way I could not.
Now, I realize- and the makers and proliferaters of the test recognize- that no one fits his or her type description exactly, but that doesn’t stop the test from being intriguing, or certain aspects of one’s results from ringing true.
Here is a link to the test I recommend: http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
If you like, you may leave your results as comments. I’d like to know if there are any other INFJs out there, considering we are The Rarest type.
I’ve been listening to this song by Paul Simon (yes, of Simon & Garfunkel) for the past few days.
Maybe it’s the drums, maybe it’s the melody or the lyrics, but it just gets stuck in my head so easily. It sort of sounds like an anthem, as well. An anthem about childhood.
“Why deny the obvious child” that’s inside us all?
The Trees seem to beckon
as the Sun sinks low,
but the Heat keeps me apart
from the World I’d like to know.
Clouds, obscure! Sun, blink!-
for a short Moment-
so I may venture,
and- no more- lament.
