Today our guest speakers were Desiree Howell and Brandon Schultz. They came to talk about personality types and how they play a role in our society. After taking a test, I found that my personality type was ENFP. Which stands for: extrovert, intuitive, feeling, and perceptive. Which means I am warmly enthusiastic, high-spirited, ingenious, imaginative. I am able to do almost anything that interests me. I am quick with a solution for any difficulty and ready to help anyone with a problem. I often rely on my ability to improvise instead of preparing in advance. I can usually find compellig reasons for whatever they want. After talking about the personalities we figured out that there are established stereotypes about some of the letters. When describing the different types of personalities and what the letters stand for Desiree Howell said, "Sometimes people think that because I am a T for thinking that I am a bitch, or on the other hand are predestined into thinking Brandon is a wuss because he is an F for feeling."1 There are a lot of stereotypes involved with different personality traits. Some people perceive things differently, but for example: Just because someone is an introvert, doesn't mean that they are boring and don't have fun.
