The results of my Myers-Briggs test said I am INFP. I can tell that my more introverted tendencies are definitely a result of the isolated raising my mother was a fan of, and bad experiences in large crowds. Those particular experiences led me to dislike crowds, and even people for a long time, so nowadays; I tend to keep my circle of friends small. In this case, the result stems from the Nurture side of the old debate; it is a direct result of the upbringing, or nurture I received. As for intuition, I believe that it’s always been a part of me. I’ve never been the sort of person who values the concrete, or the solid. It’s already there to find, so I have always been more focused on exploring what could be, or what may be. This applies to the nature side of the debate. Being intuitive is something I am, part of my nature. Probably my most positive trait is feeling. It is what drives me to be sociable and likeable, and what keeps me from being too lonely. I let my feelings take over when I feel my mind is being too afraid or too serious, or too critical, and I’ve been that way as long as I can remember. Again, this follows the nature side of the debate. Probably my least positive trait is perception, simply because of how sometimes I don’t want to reach a decision, or can’t because the opposing perceptions I see, I can’t show to other people, or simply am too lazy to feel like it. Again, it’s my nature, not my nurturing that made me like this. Of course, instead of letting my obsession with perception disturb my status quo, I sometimes allow myself to procrastinate a little, so that I can give out good quality work, when I am ready, a sort of inner compromise.
