You can learn a lot about yourself and those you love by understanding the general character traits and tendencies of your personality type. If you've never been exposed to this social technology, I'm sure you'll find it fascinating! Try this on-line test, then read the results and see how closely they describe your personality and relate to your life and circumstances! www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.aspYou can find additional information at these related sites! www.advisorteam.com/temperament_sorter/register.asp?partid=1www.keirsey.comLet others know the results, if you like! I myself am an INFP ... |

I remember taking a test like this I think it was Jung - with my therapist about 18 years ago. Back then I was an INFP. I now come out as an INTP. INFP was completely me back then and I think the INTP is pretty accurate for this time of my life.

It's interesting how the years pull us in different directions --- when I was in my 20s, I was an INFJ ... and the type description then was as accurate as my new one is today ...
Myers-Briggs is also a great way to really understand your partner and kids. Typing them and then earnestly studying their profiles can help us realize things about our loved ones (and our areas of disagreement and conflict) that might not otherwise occur to us!

I just went to that site. It came out ENFJ. I read a little, but what I thought was funny was the teacher part. I have been director of SACC for about 5-6 yrs, have worked with kids since I was a senior in high school, and have an associate's in ECE.
Douglas, what does the "P" stand for in your's?
Have a good day. I know I'll be going back to this site.

Oh boy, did this test ever nail me. ;D
Supervisor Guardians [ESTJs] are squarely on the side of rules and procedures, and they can be quite serious about seeing to it that others toe the mark—or else face the consequences. They do not hesitate to give their stamp of approval, nor do they withhold their directions or suggestions for improvement. Like seasoned, stalwart umpires, Supervisors will set their jaw and make the call on anyone who steps up to bat. They even feel obligated to do so, and they’re sometimes surprised when others don’t seem grateful for being set straight.
Comprising at least ten percent of the population, Supervisors go by experience and that is what counts, not speculation and experimentation, and certainly not fantasy. They keep their feet firmly on the ground and make sure that those under their supervision do the same, whether employee, subordinate, offspring, or spouse. If others wish to fool around and daydream, fine, as long as they do it on their own time—which means after the job is done. But if they fritter away their time while on duty, they should not be surprised when the Supervisor calls them on the carpet. The top sergeant will not put up with such nonsense.
Supervisors are gregarious and civic-minded, and are usually key players of their community. They are generous with their time and energy, and very often belong to a variety of groups, supporting them through steady attendance, but also taking a vocal leadership role. Indeed, membership groups of all kinds attract ESTJs like magnets, perhaps because membership satisfies in some degree their need to maintain the stability of social institutions. Like all the Guardians, ESTJs worry a good deal about society falling apart, morality decaying, standards being undermined, traditions being lost, and they do all they can to preserve and to extend the institutions that embody social order. Supervisors are so in tune with the established institutions and ways of behaving within those institutions, that they have a hard time understanding those who might wish to abandon or radically change them.

The "P" in INFP stands for Perception, as opposed to Judgment ... it means that I'm a person who is interested in the outcome, whatever it may be, as opposed to a person who prefers to have things settled ... "open-ended" would be a good way to say it ...
Oddly, this is the one characteristic in which I waver, over the years. I have been INF all my life, but I bounce between P and J as the years pass ...

Now that we know that you are maturing in to a fine man, maybe that's why you have the P and not the J
;D
D2B, my Lord, shall I bow down to you or what?
Have a good Nite

D2B, my Lord, shall I bow down to you or what? Have a good Nite Kaiti  ROTFLMAO  Genuflecting will not be necessary. When I took the test, I was amazed at the results. But that write up is definately me. I took that test about 10 years ago and I was a ISTJ. I = Introverted, and now I am E = Extroverted. Guess I'm finally coming out of my shell, and cracking a whip! ;D |

Wow! I'm an EFSJ-- is that ever right. It's kind of scary--but it was me that marked those answers so what else would it be? Protector guardian--I'm going to have to look into this a little more. Jorgy you're right. Even the career info was correct. School, church, volunteer for everything and be in charge--that's me! Cool!

I'm ISTJ. I don't hear much about temperaments any more, but for those familiar with them, I'm a melancholy with some phlegmatic characteristics--extremely introverted.
