I'm just curious. On my quest to really re-evaluate my career choice, I revisited the Myer's Briggs test just to see how to articulate my strengths. But other than that, I find personality tests fascinating - especially Myer's Briggs. I remember in college, on a leadership team for this fellowship I was a part of...we had to do the whole test to figure out our group dynamic as a team. We had fun with it...seeing who was the surprising introvert and extrovert in the group Obviously I don't take it tooooo seriously, but it is helpful to understand people's strengths in a group setting and how to better relate to everyone. Sooooooo out of curiosity, what is your myer's briggs type? I know you can take the test on Facebook somewhere (its like 300 and some questions - but the more you answer the more accurate it is), but for a quick 68 question test, you can go here: www.personalitytest.net/types/index.htmThe different letters mean this: I = Introverted or E = Extroverted S = Sensing or N = Intuition T = Thinking or F = Feeling J = Judging or P = perceiving I'm an INFJ (and sort of a P too). Its apparently pretty rare in comparison to all the other ones How about you? And do you agree with it?

I'm an ESPF! Apparently, I am smooth, attractive, charming, and witty. I don't know about smooth, but I am quite attractive.

I'm ISTJ A "Trustee". I'd make a good accountant and/or girl scout. I don't think this is very true, but I did take a Big 5 test which is similar and got "Mastermind" and it was very accurate.

Yols, I got INFJ too! Most of it's pretty true, I guess. I did one for Ponyboy too (Surprise, surprise) and got INFP. THAT description was as accurate as it's probably gonna get- "INFPs are idealistic, self-sacrificing, and somewhat cool or reserved. They are very family and home oriented, and have a high capacity for caring. High sense of honor derived from internal values.
INFPs feel internal turmoil when they find themselves in situations in which there is conflict between their inner code of ethics and their relationships with others. They feel caught between pleasing others and maintaining their own integrity. Their natural tendency to identify with others, compounded with their self-sacrificial dispositions, tends to leave them confused as to who they really are. Their quiet personalities further feeds their feelings of depersonalization. The INFP's quest for self-identity then seems even more alluring — but increasingly impossible to attain."Pony to a T. XD

INTP: "Architect". Great precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. They are good at logic and math and make good philosophers and theoretical scientists. 1% of the total population.
Yep. That's what they gave me, but I'm not too sure about it.

ISFJ: "Conservator". Service and work oriented - very loyal. They are good nurses, teachers, secretaries, general practitioners, librarians, middle managers, and housekeepers. 6% of the total population.
It actually fits me pretty well. Like, scarily well. xD And I've never wanted to be anything but a teacher when I get older, so I was happy to see that.

ESFP: "Entertainer". Radiates attractive warmth and optimism. Smooth, witty, charming, clever. Fun to be with. Very generous. They make good performers, and they love talking on the phone. 13% of the total population.
Yeh....that's very close to me. And a primary school teacher is a performer and entertainer, so I'm clearly in the right job too!
