Personality Type

After taking the Myer-Briggs test I found my personality type to be an INTP. I found this to be a fairly accurate assessment after reading up on the personality type, coupled with its strengths and weaknesses. Although there were some discrepancies, most of what I was reading truly reflected me and my personality.

The strengths of a INTP that I identify with are:

  • Open-Minded
  • Enthusiastic
  • Objective
  • Imaginative

I believe that these are some of traits which I would consider a strength in myself. I specifically consider myself to be enthusiastic, especially when I am passionate about a certain subject.

The general careers INTPs enjoy are focused around Law, Business or Engineering. I am extremely interested in law, and aim to study that in university. That being said, I am steadily enjoying learning about business more and more.

A famous person with an INTP personality type is Bill Gates. Although Bill Gates is a famous technological developer, I believe that it is possible I could share a similar personality type.

Service (Memoirs of a Pioneer Generation) Nov 8 2018

Service has been incredibly fun this year. Although personal fun may not be the goal of our service, it has been a side effect of what we do with the elderly at Evergreen Centre.

Our end objective of the service is to compile a short book about the lives of the the elderly we work with, who are part of Singapore’s pioneer generation. However, before we can interview the elderly on their lives, we need to build a rapport with them, in order for them to feel comfortable sharing stories. We are aiming to build this rapport by talking with them while playing games such Bingo or Jenga.

So far, we have already interviewed a couple of senior citizens and are still working on building up a rapport with the others. Some of them have even started to teach us how to play games that they enjoy.

I believe I have demonstrated Learning outcome 3 in this service. Before every sessions, my group and I have to plan our desired outcome for the day’s service, in order to reach our final objective of compiling the stories. Everything we do has an important purpose for helping us achieve our final goal.
