According to the assessment, my personality type is ISTJ (Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging).
List at least two characteristics for each personality type using the descriptions provided by the TypeFocus assessment under “Personality Theory: What Your Four Letters Mean.”
Introversion refers to having an inward focus. An introverted person prefers to spend time alone, or at least needs time alone. The introverted person feels drained after social experiences like parties, and draws energy from solitude.
Sensing refers to the way I perceive the world. A sensor relies primarily on the concrete data received from the five senses, rather than living in a fantasy world or daydreaming.
Thinking refers to how the person processes information. Whereas a feeling person relies on gut instinct, a thinking person like me analyzes or uses logic when making decisions.
Judging refers to how I take action. A judging person weighs all the information available and sticks to a plan.

Thus, quantification of all variables could lead to overcomplication of the study, which increases the risk that the number of surveys returned will not be statistically significant. For this
