Personality test!!

[alexandral]

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.

Every time I do any version of this I'm an INFP. It really fits me, too. If I ever got E as the first letter I think I'd die of shock, LOL!

I'm INTP!

When I was younger I could go either way on T/F and P/J, but in the past few years, I've settled into INTP pretty well.

I always get INTJ which sometimes I wonder if it fits me. But I've been an INTJ since I was 16 and have taken the same exam at least 3 times.

I'm usually an INTJ, but I used to be an INFJ when I was younger! These are interesting but I'm not sure how accurate they are to measure job performance.

Interesting!

Where can I take this test?

I'm ENFJ (http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFJ.html) pretty much every time I had to take this. Except that one INFJ time that I'm sure was some kind of mistake :D

Ugh, I hate this test so much. I just don't fit into it, in any way. For most questions there are several options that fit me perfectly, and depending on which ones I randomly pick, I have had the most varying results. It's not even funny. ;)
