i am an... ISTJ ...yup

Brittany Schmelling...is an...
Introvert: 78
Sensing: 12
Thinking: 1
Judging: 44
The Myers-Briggs personality/type indicator basically described me perfectly. First, I am definitely an Introvert. I have a lot of opinions and thoughts, but I would rather keep them to myself and think, while hearing other people talk. As for Sensing, I do go with facts or what I know or think is right, instead of a more intuitive approach. I am definitely a Thinker...I think about what will be the result for almost everything I do, which also goes along with my Judging category. Managing and planning things out is something I have always done and enjoyed doing. That could also explain my slight 'neat-freak' quality and need to have everything organized.
One of the things I found a little ironic about the test was that it said my top 2 career paths should be in the management field, and before class I had been planning and mapping out the possibility of either switching my major to management or adding a human resources or project management minor...weird i know.

In regards to my drawing, my type appears to have a great influence. Structure and organization has a very geometric sense to it, which is very much present in my work. I enjoy organic forms, but when drawing, I always seem to produce structured, geometric works. Another contribution, not sure if it is good or bad, is the planning aspect. I try to plan, and usually do in my head, but a lot of the time it seems to change as it goes along. I guess if I was strictly sticking to my type I would most likely sketch out my ideas in order to plan what I was going to do, but that never seems to work out well...my head works better. As for overcoming weaknesses, I believe my sketching production should improve in order to make my drawings/compositions more successful.

My type has a lot of thoughts and ideas, but keeps them to ourselves. I think this idea of many thoughts about various subjects is present in my work. My two pieces so far in this class have been solely about my personal feelings and emotions right now, so the works are my introvert self explaining those thoughts.

The strong Introvert in me plays a major role in a group/critique setting. I have opinions, sometimes quite strong, but I never seem to share them. It is not that I am afraid of speaking up because that does not bother me. I think I would just rather let everyone else speak and listen to what they have to say. So, in order to address my weakness, I need to share the thoughts that I am thinking more and participate!
