Why I am the Way I am

Extrovert

As an extrovert, I tend to direct my energy to the outside world and get energized by interacting with people and taking action. I tend to communicate with energy and enthusiasm, generally like to converse with others, and love to participate in a variety of tasks. Simply put, I am a people-person. This enthusiasm for people will be helpful for me as a prospective attorney. My passion and initiative in work will help me verbally advocate on behalf of my clients passionately in trials.

Sensing

My cognitive style is sensing. I prefer to take tangible and real information. I tend to observe the specifics of what is going on around me in a sequential way. I have found that I trust most in my experience and what I can prove. For instance, in group projects, I prefer to discuss the project sequentially, as opposed to bouncing around. Attorneys must use sequential organization and clear and convincing evidence to tell their clients’ stories. My preferences for sequence and specific facts will be useful as a prospective attorney.

Feeling

I make decisions using feeling, which means I tend to utilize personal values, impact analysis, and empathy to make choices. The support I give others and the use of positivity energizes me. In group meetings, I find it essential to present points of agreement first and consider the impact our decisions could have on all group members. Attorneys must weigh the impacts of decisions on their clients to advise clients about which course of action to take, whether or not to take a plea deal, and how to move forward in the trial. My strong consideration of the impact and my positivity will help me productively encourage my future clients.

Judging

I prefer to use judging when approaching the outside world. Sometimes judging can have a negative connotation, but it is a positive characteristic. My preference for judging means that I prefer to live in a planned, orderly way and concentrate on completing the tasks at hand. In groups, this means I tend to abide by deadlines, focus on purpose and direction, and stick to plans. Attorneys must be incredibly organized in their case materials, meet deadlines set by judges, and remain focused on their role within the trial. I believe that my passion for organization, timeliness, and focus on the direction will help me succeed as a prospective prosecutor.
