Hello Kaleidoscope Readers, in your time at UAB and preparing for the professional world, you may have been asked to take a Myers-Briggs 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.
INFJ
You are one in a million, INFJ, and this month will be as special as you. You will have something to look forward to—having given so much in the past, it is time that you are properly shown appreciation. Act on your impulses and you will be rewarded. You have a good heart, so do not be afraid to trust your intuition. Perhaps take this chance to connect or reconnect with someone you have been unsure about in the past. There are plenty of people at UAB that would love to accommodate you if you need the extra nudge to get you to step out of your shell.
INFP
INFP, I hope this last month has treated you well. Give yourself a break this month and don’t work as tirelessly on improving yourself. Take some time to enjoy the world around you and to take care of yourself. It’s exhausting being you, and it’s time to let yourself relax in your own zone and recharge. Read some of Jared Jones’ health and wellness columns in Kscope and treat yourself.
ENFJ
This month, be careful about cutting corners. You may be a little stressed at this point and inclined to push things to the side in favor of comfort, but you know you’d be more stressed out about disappointing yourself, since you’ve been doing so well recently. You’ve been appreciating positive attention for your recent accomplishments, so congratulate yourself! This is only the beginning of the achievements coming your way if you continue to be diligent.
ENFP
This month, ENFP, would be a great month to put your passion to good use! Start an independent project. You naturally work well with other people, considering your charismatic nature; however, your creative vision will be best realized if you work toward your goal on your own. You blaze your own trails best outside the confines of checks and balances. Perhaps try working on a new language or read that book you haven’t had the time for.
