Hello Kaleidoscope Readers, in your time at UAB and preparing for the professional world, you may have been asked to take a Myers Brigg Personality Test, a scientific approach to understanding what makes you tick by sorting you (and everyone else) into one of 16 distinct personality types. With this popularity of self awareness and how prevalent it is in the workplace, we’ve decided to launch a monthly column that gives each of the 16 personality types a look into themselves and into their future for the upcoming month by using non-astrological pseudoscience. This week, we are offering quasi-insight into the intuitive and thinking-based personalities. Before reading this column, please take a Myers Brigg Personality Test and then find your type below to read a totally imagined glance at what is to come for you.
INTJ
Hello, curious INTJ. This month, your aptitude for mastering a variety of new skills will come into play. Beware of becoming too arrogant, though, as you impress others with your abilities-- forced to work in groups, you may find non-INTJ’s frustrated with your new abilities and pride in your accomplishments. Even though you hate discussing emotions, be prepared in the month of love to step outside of your comfort zone: an unexpected introduction to an INFP or INFJ may cause you to start applying logic to the fuzzy world of discussing feelings.
INTP
Dreamy INTP, watch what you say this month. Your disdain for small talk makes sense to you, but as you interact with more social types, your fleeting behavior may come across as rude. However, as the new year progresses, your love of trying new things paired with your rebellious nature means an adventure is in the works. Plan a solo-hike to a new location for a rush of inspiration or a analytical breakthrough.
ENTJ
The new year brings new people and opportunities into your life. More than usual, you will find a specific role for each of these new relationships. Plan carefully, as some of these new faces are bound to stick around in your life for the long term. Encountering free time? Use your love of social events and organization to support your favorite college team. Gather your crew and cheer on the Blazers at the next home game.
ENTP
You know that rules are just guidelines, ENTP. Use your knack for finding loopholes for your personal improvement this month, whether discovering the shortcuts across campus or how to stretch your meal plan to its full potential. Bored at your job in this new semester? Who’s making you stay, ENTP? Take your independent spirit to new heights and start your own money-making endeavours.
