I’m an ENFP, how about you?

January 25th, 2006

Currently listening:


Imogen Heap – Speak For Yourself – Pretty sweet electro-pop-ish stuff.

So: I’m pretty sure that horoscopes are a load of hooey. I’ve read a few, and they’re usually worded so vaguely that anyone could make some event during the day/week seem like it fits. I’m inclined to think that if someone did a comparison test where they purposefully mixed up the predictions and signs and printed it that way in the newspaper, just as many people would somehow find those things happening to them.

Well, enough on that soapbox. So instead of Americans on a first date saying things like, “I’m a Capricorn, how about you?” (not that you, my dear reader, would ever dream of doing such a thing), they should exchange their Myers-Briggs personality types. It would be far more useful, especially in learning how to communicate with each another.

There’s a stripped-down Myers-Briggs based personality test online that only takes about 5 minutes to complete. If you want, you can take it on the Humanmetrics web site for free. Apparently I’m a “Champion Idealist”, although I’m borderline on some of the traits. The report said I am +11% extroverted (vs. introverted), +50% intuitive (vs. sensing), +62% feeling (vs. thinking), and +22% perceiving (vs. judging). So what are you? Go take the test and leave a comment. I’m interested to find out what it says some of you are. ;)Also: Keep posting comments on the last post so we can continue discussing…

  2. So is Sharon! But when we plugged our exact numbers into the “marriage compatibility test” we got a high rating. Apparently she balances my oddities well. ;)

  5. eNFJ and here’s the breakdown e=11, N=56, F=11, J=67. That makes me one of the ahem… ” benevolent ‘pedagogues’ of humanity.”

  6. I’m an ENFP, too! I knew there was a reason we got along so well. It appears we’re only 3% of the population, so we can be oddballs together!

  7. hi Tristan…I thought I would weigh in. I’m an ISFJ, but that’s actually the first time I think the test has turned out that way. The S was only 12% so maybe that’s why.

  8. No wonder you can live with Sharron! Your all-time favorite roomy is an INTJ as well! :)
