MBTI

MBTI:

My results were that I am an ESTP. Extrovert, Sensing, Thinking and Perceiving. I agree that I am an extrovert because I usually like to socialize with others, but as well I can have introvert traits since sometimes I prefer being alone and just not have no noise around me.

I usually am better in learning with my senses, especially by looking at how something  is done then I can remember it well. I know I'm an ESTP because I like to have fun and I'm known to have a sense of humor. I like to go out and have fun,, and I can sometimes be a huge procrastinator, but I always tend to get my work done.  I usually tend to lose concentration quite quickly when it comes to lectures and I'm always up to doing something that might get me in trouble. I think ESTP describes me perfectly.
