Myers-Briggs personality types
pandora:
I took the test - result did not tell me anything I didn't already know about myself _ INTJ. Hope you guys won't kick me off for not having the F! I am a scientist, which I guess is consistant with this type. I value feelings but I have to say that rational thought and understanding are very important to me.
You are:
slightly expressed introvert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
moderately expressed judging personality
I am sure that I am an introvert, however I have found that sometimes this is confused with being shy. I am not shy (I outgrew it) but it is true that sometimes I just prefer to be alone!
It is interesting that one of the reasons why I was attracted to my H (who I now know is N) is that he is very outgoing and charismatic and on the surface seemed very expressive. However, I think he might be a ENTJ. Definately not F.
Anyway, very interesting!

Hi Write,
--- Quote ---interesting- conversely others have complicated their typology with enneagram detailing
--- End quote ---
What's "enneagram detailing"? I tried looking it up but I was having trouble finding anything.

I like these people, I've been reading their stuff for some time.
I guess there's always a chance people will use type to beat themselves up so read this first! :wink:

I must admit I don't see my friends through 'type' eyes. In fact, I find it impossible to remember their 'type' tho I have asked to be reminded if something has puzzled me. But if you really already know 'who' you are, type can be very useful. If you don't, then it can be very confusing. Caveat emptor. :)

Add another to the INFP count.
I am struck by how many people said that they thought they were an introvert/extrovert and the profile said the opposite.
Pretty much anyone meeting me would say that I am an extrovert. I have been described that way my whole life. Most of the jobs that I have held involve being with many people. And I have enjoyed them too.
Yet I wasn't surprised at all to find that MB said I was an introvert because for me it really has always been.....okay, that was fun, interesting, enjoyable .... but now it's time to get back to the cave. Got to have that alone time.
I am Sagittarius with Scorpio rising, Gemini moon.
