How does self-efficacy impact personality?
The way that self-efficacy impacts our personalities is by the actions performed. It is about how someone can react to a situation in our lives. Each of these expectations can help motivate us to do better or bring us down about problems. Those who have a high self-efficacy are satisfied with their lives; they feel like they are more successful. People who have low self-efficacy feel as if they fail in life events. Ultimately, they feel helpless and incapable of facing an issue.
How do your own MBTI results impact your personal self-efficacy?
I believe that knowing my Myers-Briggs personality type has helped me understand myself more and know my personality strengths and weaknesses. Because self-efficacy impacts my behavior towards situations in life, it allows me to either motivate to do better or have the potential to bring myself down. The results of my MBTI test conducted that I have the INFJ personality, which means I came back as 28% introvert, 22% iNtutive, 69% feeling, and 25% judging. I believe that being an INFJ, I am thoughtful and warm-hearted on the inside; however, I tend to express traits such as being stubborn, moody, and bottling up negative emotions. The way being stubborn impacts my self-efficacy is based on it allows me to choose irrational decisions that would stretch ourselves so thin to the point that we will lose track of what’s really important in our lives, like self-love and acceptance. Being moody makes me suppress my emotions especially the intense ones that would lead me to push other people away. I believe that others will not understand my perspective. By doing this, I are hurting myself emotionally and psychologically, then I would lose belief in myself. When I bottle up negative emotions, I typically tend to feel being wronged and by doing so we would rather just keep the feeling for the sake of conformity. By not addressing these emotions, it will pile up and would make me lash out and that will affect my productivity in life. I also believe having this personality type can allow me to put my thoughts into actions, but as expressed above I do have frequent spells of self-doubt.
What role does your faith play in self-efficacy expectations?
Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called in accordance of his purpose” (English Standard Version, 2001). I personally have found a lot of comfort throughout my life, especially when it comes to this verse. When I have let myself, my goals, and others down by not meeting certain expectations, this verse affirms me. I know that God will always have a plan for my life in that it helps me dive deeper and restart to meet those goals.
