Personality test!!
We had a "team building" event at work, doing Myers-Briggs Personality tests. This was rather interesting and surprising!
My test came as:
ENTP, which stands for:
Extrovert - "I like getting my energy from active involvement in events and having a lot of different activities. I’m excited when I’m around people and I like to energize other people. I like moving into action and making things happen. I generally feel at home in the world. I often understand a problem better when I can talk out loud about it and hear what others have to say.
THIS WAS A SURPRISE (even though I didn't score too high here). I always though of myself as an introvert! And then all my work colleges started saying that I indeed a total extrovert, and I was "OH?? REALLY??" and still not being at all convinced. The trainer, who knows me a bit from the previous courses I had with him also said "Yep. I think you are an extrovert". THIS MADE ME THINK. Learning something new about yourself at my age? Interesting!
Intuitive - Preference for taking in information through a "sixth sense" and noticing what might be (as opposed to concentrating of facts and figures): Ideas, Big picture, Imaginative, Abstract and Theoretical.
Thinking - Preference for organising and structuring information to decide in a logical, objective way (as opposed to a personal, value-based way): Focus on cause and effect, logic, task.
Perceiving - Preference for living a spontaneous and flexible life (as opposed to planned and organised life).
Although I am still not sure about the Extroversion part, the rest is SO ME:
Quick, ingenious, stimulating, alert, and outspoken. Resourceful in solving new and challenging problems. Adept at generating conceptual possibilities and then analyzing them strategically. Good at reading other people. Bored by routine, will seldom do the same thing the same way, apt to turn to one new interest after another.

Too often here it is used as a screening criteria for hiring, and that's just silly.

I think it is crazy to use this test as screening criteria - I only did it once, but I bet you my bottom dollar I can "achieve" any results if I want to. Many questions seemed.. self-explanatory.
