Jung Typology

According the Jung Typology Test, I am an ISTJ

Introverted - 78
Sensing - 38
Thinking - 1
Judging - 11

I absolutely agree with these results. Though I am (somewhat/sometimes) sympathetic of people, I do not express my emotions very clearly or very well. I am quite the introvert. Day-dreaming used to be one of my favorite past-times.
A lot of the time my decisions will be based on how I am feeling at the time (my "fight or flight" action, as I have labeled it); several of those times that I acted on emotions and not logic I have come to regret. I do not always think to the future when making a decision.

How do I think these results reflect who I am as a writer? The introverted plays a big part. I am not good with expressing myself. Sometimes I have a great imagination, sometimes, but cannot find the words, the descriptions, the vivid pictures to write it out. I am hoping to gain some fluency as we work on that in this course. I don't believe that these results will or will not assist me in my writing due to the fact that I already knew the answers very well.

Composition 1

Blogs were never my thing. I am by far more of a journal person - something about writing my thoughts down on paper, the ability to actually hold my written-down thoughts and findings, makes me prefer the journal.

My writing in my journal does not get read, but not for the reason people would assume. Mine goes unread due to the fact that I have no-one who is interested in it. No one who is interested in me.
Have I caught your eye?
Good. Let me explain myself a little better.

Growing up as the "shy girl" quickly turned into the "outcast" and "invisible", so I took an early liking to observing others. My journal has many entries that are about my observations on people, the world, and how I feel.
You, the reader, may actually have been a person to spike my interest and to create a journal entry.
