Typology and Writing

The Jung Typology Test was very interesting.  I am not sure how accurate my results are because some of the questions either made no sense to me or I could have answered yes and no on the same question. 
The indicators for writing said:

• Create and follow a writing plan
• Use a step-by-step process to assess data and complete their writing
• Emphasis the main point and support it with gathered data
• Understand when to stop researching and begin the writing stage
• Need to consider how their writing will impact their audience
• Benefit from remaining open to new ideas
• Meet the deadline but should be cautious not to rush through the writing stages

My responses are:

• I do not create and follow a writing plan.  I just start writing and develop on the fly. 
• I do not use a step by step process unless instructed to do so.  I write, research and edit at the same time.
• I do emphasize the main point and then try to support it with gathered data.  Sometimes I support it with what makes sense to me.
• I am stop researching or writing on the fly when I am finished writing. 
• I do care about what I write.  I usually don't care what is thought about it, because everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
• I do remain mostly open to new ideas.  I will listen to the new ideas, but will not promise to adopt them.
• I do meet my deadlines, but don't always start early in my project.

All in all, the writing section did not match my perceptions of myself on most levels; however the student/learning section did match me on most levels.

The student/learning indicators said:

• Prefer learning through a step-by-step and hands-on process
• Apply information in order establish its relevance
• Dislike learning theory
• Desire to hear clear presentations and explicit expectations
• Want instructors to evoke interest in a topic and support their information with facts
• Create and follow a specific study plan
• Study well with others

The only indicator I do not agree with is the creating and following a specific study plan.  I usually just study when I have time to study, such as between classes or in the evenings after school or work.
I am not really sure that it will help me with my writing in college, because I am not sure how much of my writing style I can base on this test.
