         <description><![CDATA[<p>My MTBI &amp; ESSAY</p><p><br/></p><p>(After taking the MBTI personality test, the results showed that I am  Turbulent(60%), Intuitive (64%), Feeling (61%), Judging (57%), and  Introverted (58%). My personality type is INFJ-T, and based on what I have read about it, I can say that it is correct and matches my true nature and behavior.)</p><p><br/></p><p>First of all, I'm really an introvert. I prefer quiet places and I don't feel comfortable around a lot of people. I get tired of talking to a lot of people quickly, so I prefer to be alone or with only those who are really close to me. It doesn't mean that I don't like people, but I'm just more used to quiet and simple surroundings. Also, I like to think deeply. I don't make decisions right away, especially when I need to make a decision. I think about everything that can happen first, and I often imagine what effect something will have on me or on other people. That's probably why "Intuitive" is high in my result.</p><p><br/></p><p>I also noticed that I always use my heart when making decisions. For example, even though sometimes I really have to choose what is best for myself, I still think about whether I will hurt someone or if my decision will affect them. I don't feel comfortable hurting other people's feelings. That's why I often adjust, even though sometimes I'm the one who has difficulty. </p><p><br/></p><p>I also want everything I do to be organized and have a plan because I have difficulty when things happen suddenly. It's better for me to know my next step so that I don't get confused. That's probably why I come across as "Judging". But even though I want things to be organized, it doesn't mean that I'm confident in myself. I often doubt myself, even though what I did was okay. I still wonder if I did something wrong, or if I could have made what I was doing/did better. That's also one of the things that shows how "Turbulent" I am. </p><p><br/></p><p>Actually, knowing this MBTI result helps me because I now understand better why I think and behave the way I do. I no longer think that I am wrong, because I know that it is part of a person's personality. I also now know better how to get along with others. For example, I know that it is okay to want to be alone sometimes. And if someone doesn't immediately vibe with me, I understand that maybe they just have different personalities, and it doesn't mean that they have a problem with me.</p><p><br/></p><p>In my life decisions and goals, I have also learned that there must be balance — not just pure heart, sometimes logic is also needed. And it's okay that I don't get what I want right away, as long as I keep going and do my best. Self-awareness helps me not to get stressed or lose hope easily.</p><p><br/></p><p> In short, I am glad that I took the MBTI test. It seems like I can get to know myself better, and I can appreciate who I really am more. I now know where I am good at and where I need to be stronger. And because of this, I can also achieve my dreams in life more easily.</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>REFLECTION ABOUT "KNOWING ONESELF"</p><p><br></p><p>For me, “knowing oneself” is about understanding who I really am, not just on the outside but also on the inside. I learned a lot about myself that I had never really paid attention to before.</p><p><br></p><p> First, I learned about self and self-concept. It made me wonder, how do I really see myself? Sometimes, I only see myself based on what others say. But now, I know that it’s more important to know myself—what I can do and what kind of person I am. </p><p><br></p><p>Actual self vs. Ideal self – This is where I relate the most. Sometimes I want to be something, but it feels far from who I am now. For example, I want to be confident and assertive, but in reality, I’m still shy. But I realized that’s not a bad thing. The important thing is that I know where I’m starting from and I can gradually reach my ideal self.</p><p><br></p><p>In Freud's layers of the self, there are three parts—id, ego, and superego. I thought that it's true that I want to do things (id), but I also need to think about whether they're right (superego), so the ego comes in to weigh them up. This helps me not to just make decisions. </p><p><br></p><p>As for defense mechanisms, I realized that sometimes I use them even without knowing it. Like denying when I'm wrong, or rationalizing to defend myself. But that's normal, and the important thing is to learn when it's good and when it's not. </p><p><br></p><p>In Jungian archetypes, I saw that there are personalities that seem to be a reflection of different parts of our personality. Sometimes I'm a Hero, sometimes a Caregiver, sometimes a Trickster. And that's okay, because we're all different people and we also change depending on the situation. </p><p>     </p><p>Lastly, the Johari Window. I learned here that there are things about myself that I know, others know too, but there are also parts of myself that I don't know yet. That's why other people's feedback is important for me to get to know myself better.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>REFLECTIONS ABOUT "DEVELOPING THE WHOLE PERSON"</p><p><br></p><p>For me, developing the whole person is not easy, but it is very important. I learned that there are three basic aspects of the self: physical, mental, and emotional. All of them need to be taken care of. We should not only think about our physical or external appearance, but also how we think and how we feel about things.</p><p><br></p><p> In the Power Triad of body, mind, and spirit, I realized that everything should be balanced. When I neglect one, I feel incomplete. For example, even if I am physically okay but mentally tired or emotionally drained, I still feel incomplete. </p><p><br></p><p>The existential self, on the other hand, is my knowledge of my own identity — that I am me. While the categorical self, this is my knowledge of myself based on my age, my gender, and the things I have or do. To be honest sometimes I still get confused about who I really am, but I am also gradually getting to know myself through each experience I have in life.</p><p><br></p><p>As a teenager, there were so many factors of myself that affected how I viewed myself in real life — family, friends, school, social media, and the expectations of others. Sometimes, due to pressure, I lost my own identity, but it was important to get back to my core — who I really am and what I want.  </p><p><br></p><p> In the dimensions of knowing the self, I learned that it's not just about knowing my own mind, but also my heart and how I relate to others. It's also important to know how to listen to feedback from others, and to open up so that they can get to know us </p><p>better.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>REFECTIONS ABOUT ''STAGES AND CHALLENGES IN MIDDLE TO LATE ADOLESCENCE''</p><p><br/></p><p>For me, I understand more and more how important adolescence is in a person's life. This is the stage where you gradually change — not only in your outward appearance but also in your inner self. In "middle to late adolescence", I feel that I have a lot to prove, a lot to explore, and sometimes I am confused about who I really am. ‎ ‎</p><p><br/></p><p>One of the topics that stands out to me is about human development — which is not only about physical growth, but also the emotional, mental, and social parts of ourselves. There are also things that affect us such as nature (what we inherit from our family) and nurture (our up-bringing and environment).</p><p><br/></p><p>Physically, I also see a lot of changes in myself and others — such as increasing height, changing voice, and changing appearance. Sometimes, it makes me conscious especially when you think about how others see you.</p><p> Emotionally, my feelings have also become more intense — sometimes I'm so happy, then later I'm sad. It's also hard to manage emotions sometimes, but I know that this is normal at this stage. ‎ </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Reflection about "The Powers of the Mind"</p><p><br/></p><p>First, I understand how powerful the human brain is in everything we do every day and I also understood the lesson that the brain has three major parts which means these are them (brain stem, cerebellum, and cerebrum). Each major part does something, for example, controlling our breathing, balancing our body, and thinking about things. ‎ </p><p><br/></p><p>‎I also learned the difference between the left brain and the right brain. The left brain is said to be used more for analyzing and solving problems while the right brain is only for our creativity and imagination. Because of this, I became more aware of how our brain works and how I can make my analysis easier. ‎ ‎</p><p><br/></p><p>Lastly, mind mapping also helped me which means it is simple for me and it has also been a great help in organizing the ideas in my brain. ‎</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>
