On the Jung Typology Test I was Extravert, Feeling, Judging, and then Sensing. I agree with the test entirely, I am always "leaping into tasks with little planning, then rely on trial and error to complete the task" (Jensen, DiTiberio) I almost never think before doing and I am the same way with my writing. In high school I would wait until last minute to read my instructions and then try and put stuff together. I am more of a talker than a writer as well. I am really hoping this class will help me to get more into English and to love it more, because I would like to become a good writer. I also agree a lot with feeling being my second result. "Feeling types tend to be particularly motivated when given special encouragement and when projects relate to what they care about." (Jensen, DiTiberio) This is so true about me, in high school the courses that didn't relate to what I cared about I did poor in and, of course, they were the core classes. I was always best at extra curricular classes like band. Now in college I am trying to stop that, but it won't be easy. The other two I got a one and eleven on so I would say they most not relate to my writing very strongly, but that is okay because the first two were dead on. I loved this because it only helped me to realize my flaws and what I need to work on to become a stronger better writer.

Tim - Good reflection. Most talkers struggle to transition to solid writers, but once they do so, watch out - the writing can be dynamite. I look forward to watching you gain the fluency you desire this semester. ~Ms. A.
