Take a minute to think about what 4% of 7 billion is, that would be 280 million. Now imagine being one of those 280 million. I am one one of those 280 million. I just recently took a personality test that said I am a Mediator. A mediator is someone who is said to try, do, and look for the best way of going about situations. According to the personality test I am, open-minded, hard-working and at risk of feeling misunderstood. One trait that describes my personality is open-minded; that being said it is stated that “A live-and-let-live attitude comes naturally to Mediators.”(“INFP Personality”). This statement is very true for me, for example, at school, things tend to switch a lot so I always keep an open-mind. Last year, when I switched to …show more content…

To describe how hard-working mediators can be it is said that “ While others focusing on the challenges of the moment may give up when the going gets tough, Mediators (especially Assertive ones) have the benefit of their far-reaching vision to help them through.”(“INFP Personality”). I relate to this quote very much because I always try my best even when i'm struggling and I never give up. When in school I work hard to make sure I get my work done and do my homework even if that means I have to stay up later to finish rather than going to bed early. A few days ago I got home really late and instead of going to bed I stayed up and finish my homework. While I am at home I will take up as much time I need to make sure I get what I need to do done and done properly instead of doing other things. A few weeks ago I had to clean my room but my friend wanted me to stay the night at her house before I went to her house I went into my room and stayed in there until it was clean. If my friends ask me for help I am always there to help them and I won’t stop working until everything is taken care of. Last year, my friend needed some help making some posters so I stayed the night at her house and we stayed up finishing the posters so that way they would be done. These examples go to show that i’m dedicated, hard-working and willing to do what it takes to …show more content…

There are very few people who would be considered mediators which is why it is stated that “Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type”. (“INFP Personality”). I would very much agree with this quote considering that it does happen to me a lot. When at school, I'm seen as antisocial because I don’t have many people I talk to but in reality I prefer to talk to people Im friends with. Last year, I had a person ask me why I am antisocial and I told them its not that i’m antisocial I just find it easier to talk to people I am friends with. At home I am seen as withdrawn because I rarely go out. In reality, I am a very busy person and my friends are too so I don’t hang out with them much. A few weeks ago, I was talking to my sister about being bored and she said that I needed to get out more and actually hang out with my friends. My friends see me as being unsociable because I don’t go to big social events. I actually I like going to them I just find it difficult to talk to someone when there are a lot of other people listening. A few months ago my friends were talking about going to homecoming and I hadn’t planned on going. My one friend asked me why I avoid people and don’t like going to social events. I told my friend that it wasn’t that I don’t like people or going to social events it is the fact that I find it hard to talk to a
