Personality Tests
I love personality tests! As a matter of fact, my personality type messes up internet statistics for percentage of population for Meyers-Briggs because we take them over and over again. I love knowing other people’s personality types – I like to understand people better and know how to relate with them in a way that connects with them. For example, I used to get sad anytime I saw someone eating alone or being alone at all and my little extroverted heart would just hurt for them. I would devise ways to begin including them in everything I did. Now I know that there are people who actually LIKE to do things alone, and probably cringed every time talkative Jeni tried to draw them into excruciating conversations.
One of my favorite things about Meyers/Briggs the first time I took the MBTI my senior year in high school is that it validated my personality for me. I am always encouraged and excited to know more about myself, good and bad. You can take a free, short version of this test at www.humanmetrics.com and get an idea of what your personality type is. Mine is ENFP, by the way. DB is INTJ. If you take the test, or have before – let me know your 4 letters – I love to know these things!Â

I really enjoy those things too. I am an ESTJ and J is an ISTJ. I always felt bad for leaving J at home or him going home alone- now I know its better for me to stay out and let him go home alone!
Jeni, I’m the absolute opposite - ISTJ!
ESFJ
I find it pretty fascinating too!
I am ESTJ and Jody is ENFP. The funniest thing was when we were doing the same training you are doing in Richmond, Jody was called up for being the highest scorer in every one of his categories. I was in 2 of them, so it was pretty funny!
Still an INFJ. Thought maybe it had changed after all this time, but nope.
ENFP - would you guess it any other way?!
