ISTJ

Introvert(38%)  Sensing(1%)  Thinking(12%)  Judging(38%)

Image result for ISTJI have always tested as ISTJ in the Meyers Brigg test.  I believe all of the categories are accurate and reflect my character and person accurately.  I tend to enjoy being around people for a period of time but eventually I need to recharge by myself through reading or drawing or playing guitar.  I also lean towards believing that justice is a more practical action than mercy because if mercy is given over and over than no one will ever fear doing anything wrong and that is not a society we need.  The thinking and sensing categories are accurate as well because my emotions do play a part in my decisions but I have the presence of mind to not let them control my decisions.  I both use intuition and sensing in making decisions and that is also reflected.

My favorite Affirmation was done by my brother AJ.  He described me as hardworking, determined, responsible, loyal and ambitious.  He wrote, "He's a great example as a brother.  He has all the good qualities of a hard-working person.  He helps me with homework, basketball, and much more.  He rarely gives up on anything and you can trust him with almost anything."

    I can definitely relate to having enough of people and needing to recharge. I would say that mercy has its place in our society, and we shouldn't think we need to pick one or the other.

    Hey there ISTJ bud, it's funny yet not very surprising to me that we scored the same on the test. We both like people to a certain extent and anything more than that is a little overwhelming. I can see that you definitely are a person who values logic and reason when making any kind of decision, as do I. However I find myself agreeing with Reid again when it comes to mercy, I agree with your point that Justice should reign more supreme and that without the constant push for justice then people will begin to stop obeying the law, but I understand also that there is a time and a place where mercy is needed.

    That's so cool that your results were so true! I love that you can explain exactly where each result comes from.

Behind the Lyrics: Propinquity (Instrumental)

  Propinquity (Instrumental)     There are no lyrics in instrumental songs, but there is still plenty of inspiration.  Propinquity, the title of this instrumental song, is one of my favorite words.  I first heard it in a musical titled Bright Star.  One of the characters used it in a story he was attempting to get published, and the word reflects the boy's journey of finding his parents.  Propinquity is the state of being close to someone or searching for intimacy.  As the boy searches for his mother, he fails to realize that he is growing closer to her without even knowing.  Perhaps, the people of the world need propinquity more than ever before.  Six feet, masks and other restrictions limit interaction as people once remembered; and things may go back to normal sooner or later, but it is not as if all sense of propinquity is lost.  I created this song when I had questions regarding life.  The individual plucking of each strin...

Behind the Lyrics: The Secret Place

 When I'm home in Washington, I serve as a youth leader for my church's youth group.  Due to covid, I was home, and youth group was online.  Nick Rosas, the youth pastor of my church, taught on the Lord's prayer for a number of weeks over Zoom.  I will never forget when he referred to the act of prayer as a secret place where heaven and earth combine.  He portrayed prayer as larger than life; it is a privilege.  No longer are prophets or priests needed to communicate with God.  I found myself challenged to look at prayer as something greater than just a symbolic ritual.  During this time, my fear of the dark and night heightened.  I would not characterize this fear as nyctophobia, but it definitely was real and affected my mental health.  Yes, even a 6'3' twenty year old college student can be afraid of the dark.  I first remember experiencing this fear the night before my first day as a high school senior.  For some reason, I ...

Behind the Lyrics: A Little Piece of Heaven

 Have you ever watched someone perform music and just felt connected to them?  Maybe it was a high school talent show or a concert.  For me, I consistently have these feelings.  I remember my college freshmen talent show vividly.  I thought about performing but decided I didn't have the necessary equipment and preparation to put together a decent performance.  One of my friends, however, did perform.  And she got second place.  I cannot help but marvel at the beauty of music.  I feel more alive whenever I play music.  When I listen, though, I feel the gates of heaven open.  This song is all about the experience of performing music and listening to someone perform their heart out.  Heaven is a mystery, but deep in my heart, I believe music will play a significant role in eternal life.  If performing were that easy, then everyone would do it.  There are times I daydream about performing daily; I contemplate making a liv...
