Provide.

You need shelter? Mind if I provide one?

Took Jung's Typology Test for college homework and the results are.. freakishly accurate.

So much for Carl Jung and his mythological theories.

As an ESFJ (Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judgement), I'm:

• moderately expressed extravert
  
• slightly expressed sensing personality
  
• moderately expressed feeling personality
  
• moderately expressed judging personality

Why so many moderate one? Lol. Maybe because there are a few questions that I wish they have the middle option to choose from? Okay, so I went and clicked a few links and found out that ESFJs are nicknamed Guardians. That category itself is split into four more; namely Supervisors, Inspectors, Providers and Protectors. Based on my post title itself, you can pretty much guess what's mine.

What are Providers? Well, they..provide. Services in fact, mostly social welfare. Plus, they're teamplayers, dislike conflict and all. Pretty much happy people who don't mind planning for social events and stuff. Most sympathetic of all the Guardians but it's a double-edged sword. Because of their sensitivity towards other people's feelings, they are very self-conscious. Can be easily crushed by personal criticism, so they need to get ample appreciation for themselves personally and the services they give to others.

In terms of work, Providers interact with people and they're logistical, meaning, they like things to be at the right place at the right place in the right order. Sounds like being OCD-ish. However, when stress hits, most of them complain of being sick, sad, tired or worried. They're the first to get angry, sad then complain to anyone who lends them an ear. What make them tick are the lack of trust on them, rigidity of rules that they feel uncomfortable with and interpersonal conflict with boss/co-worker. They tend to transform into their emotionless, super logical side when faced with problems. So, to counter that, Providers need to cut back on their need for harmonious relationships, in other words, stop being such a "lalang".

As for Provider students, like all Guardians, they can be abit obsessed with order in their workplace. They need a corner/proper place, desk, chair and a computer/laptop. Even a misplaced paper will make them distracted. However, for Providers, they're the most tolerant lot and prefer study groups with work breakdowns and of course, self-declared breaks. The setback? They tend to get distracted while studying as they find the latest happenings more interesting.

Ahh, love. Providers are hopeless romantics. Suckers for roses, chocolates and gifts except for flaunted ones. They love to lavishly pamper their partners and for Providers, what else than wearing a favourite outfit of their partners and setting certain days as date days. Yet, they can be dissatisfied and simple reminders of their love from their partners will generally make them happy.

Practically hits every point of me. No wonder people always say psychologists are scary; they understand you better than you understand yourself. Added with the fact that I'm a Psych undergrad myself, no wonder Carl Jung and Myers-Brigg personality test is pretty well heard off in many textbooks.

Anyhow, so much for one of the longest posts I've written for quite some time. Till next time.
