Proud To Be INTJ -and- The Beat Goes On

  

    ENTRY 515| OCTOBER 20 /2023

TRAINING UPDATE...THE BEAT GOES ON

The training pattern has remained the same this week and there was a bit of sparring. However, I didn't attend training on Friday due to a special event being held at the gym.

We are still working on defense and I did some sparring where I could practice what we worked on. As with everything in boxing, it is always easier on the bag and while shadow boxing than while sparring.

Speaking of sparring, I did seven rounds this week, a bit shy of the 10 that I like to do every week. However, on Thursday evenings the coach gets me to work with the younger guys and they move really fast although they are generally not very good at much else. It helps my speed and it helps them progress as well so I don't mind doing it.

I am working very hard because I am still trying to get onto the November 11 card hosted by the Cabbagetown Boxing Club. I will provide more on that as it becomes available.

PROUD TO BE INTJ

I recently took the Meyers-Briggs personality test three times to ensure that it was correct. I received the same result every time. A person's personality apparently doesn't change regardless of how many times one takes the test.

I have the very rare and most disliked personality of INTJ.

The INTJ personalities are:

• Introverted, we prefer a small circle of friends, and will generally prefer to associate with people who share a common interest or ideas.
• Intuitive, we are always thinking about everything all the time and often can not sleep well because our brains don't want to rest.
• Often make decisions on our own without consulting with others who may be affected because our decision is always the best one.
• Not caring what others think.
• Sarcastic, our raw humor is often a turn-off and sometimes offensive to other people.
• Perfectionists.

That type of personality is disliked because we come across as being "snobby", however, we are also:

• Loyal friends and do not tolerate fake friendships.
• Kind and caring although we don't show it.
• Get upset when someone gets angry at us and we spend a lot of time thinking about why it happened and how to avoid it happening again.

Having such a rare personality does give me a sense of pride, even though I may come across as being an "asshole", it isn't intentional. I can't; help who I am, but once you get to know me you will find a loyal and caring person inside a rough exterior.
