Myers-Briggs Personality Test

Question 1

No, my personality has not changed over the year. So, I do agree to what the personality test suggests – which is that my personality is INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging). I agree that I am introverted. This is because, last year and even now, I am not very social. I am a very quiet person and I do not like attention. This is because I believe that it is more important to observe than socialize. I only socialize to a limited extent and mostly to people very close to me. Also, I agree that I am intuitive. In the past and currently, I have proven to be a person who can sense and believes in things without having reason. I am a very thoughtful person as well. For the past 2 years, I have spent a lot of time thinking about things, like my future, and planning ahead. I am even very judgemental. Although I do not insult or put down people, I tend to judge and observe their actions intellectually in order to see what type of influence these people may have on me.

Question 2

After high school, I plan on going to University of Toronto (UofT) to study in life sciences. I want to become a physician, and later a specialist in neurology or microbiology.

Question 3

I need to make at least $200,000 to live a comfortable life. This is because, in my perception of a comfortable life, people should be able to live in the highest standards, be able to relax and entertain themselves and be able to travel around the world. If I wanted to live a comfortable life, I would want to have enough money in order to be able to live in a large house with a family, to be able to buy decent nutrition, to buy sports and entertainment equipment, to buy an expensive vehicle and to travel to places like Europe and Asia.

Question 4

If I put 100% of my ability into everything, I would choose to open a business. Since, I would be a hardworking person I would always put a lot of work and time into plans and investments, making my business extremely likely to succeed. This would allow me to make at least more than twice as much as a physician, which is the career I am career focusing on.

Question 5

Yes, I would model my career after my mother. She is currently applying to become a licensed doctor in Canada and already has worked as one in the UK. She discusses a lot of things about healthcare and biology with me, and I find it very interesting. Also, to encourage me to become a doctor, she explained to me that it is a valuable profession and that people in the profession are able to live very comfortably. Thus, I want to become a doctor.

Question 6

This can be explained with three reasons. Often, people do not take their education seriously. They tend to pass in everything or even dropout (of high school and post-secondary education), rather than succeeding. This makes it very difficult for these people to get decent jobs in the future. Also, many people are immigrants. Thus, their foreign degrees may not be recognized and since the age of 40 is too late to restart studying to gain a Canadian degree, people stick to working with minimum wage to feed their families. Another reason this can occur is when there is a lot of pressure on a certain profession. For example, today, a lot of people study engineering and since the workplace is being filled with new workers, it is hard to find jobs in that category. Therefore, people prefer to stick to minimum-wage jobs.

Question 7

Most adults are not happy with the jobs they have because they did not use their time wisely to assess and figure out what profession they truly wanted and in the end, they ended up in places they do not prefer to work at. Most adults are also unhappy because they did not spend enough time or effort to pursue the jobs they would like the most, and since their marks are not high enough, they end up with jobs of low pay or high pressure.
