My personality type is INTJ. The acronym stands for introverted intuitive thinking judging. Although I am an introvert, this does not mean that I do not like people. I do enjoy interacting with people on some occasions, but I enjoy it even more having time to myself. Like extraverts, Introverts have several unique traits. Introverts think things through.

She was a suffragist, abolitionist, author and speaker who was the president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Anthony was inspired to fight for women's rights while campaigning against alcohol. She was denied a chance to speak at a temperance convention because she was a woman, and later realized that no one would take women in politics seriously unless they had the right to vote. I identified with her because she was bold and she stood up for women’s right in the 1800s. During this time period, men were in charge of almost everything. She said “No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent.” Anthony was brave and stoop up for what she believed in. She devoted her life to fight for the equality of all people. I believe that I would also fight for what I believe in for the greater good of all people. She had determination and she never gave up fighting for woman.

I do not consider myself to be a perfectionist, however, striving for perfection is my passion. I never give up on things easily, even if I fail the first time. According to the information contained from the “You” selection of my personality test, it stated “INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project. Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers.” I believe this to be true in a sense, but not completely accurate. If I consider anyone to be slacking, usually I will tell them about it. I would never implement any decision making without consulting with my work team. (Human metrics Inc., 1998-2016, para.
