--- Quote from: Anonymous ---So Christy you're a rational, I'm a guardian, ESTJ.
Years ago when I first got into this stuff I read a lot of Tim La Haye and he only did the 4 temperament thing. He didn't got into 12 or 16 with dominant and subordinate strengths.
Back then I was what he called sanguine, or penguin as friends used to joke. I was so sanguine, with strong choleric undertones. After many depressing times I've changed, now using the M-B tests I'm happily ESTJ. Still as extrovert as ever, but the thinking has definitely taken front seat and all those sub-categories of judging as well.
Where does that knowledge take me. No-where really, I'm me, ever-changing, ever-learning- ever-growing. I don't accept static-ability thinking. But where I find the temperaments are INVALUABLE is in understanding reasons for conflict and conflict resolution. Such an essential tool here.
Thanks for the post, it made me think of some of my old buddies and how we used to analyse each other mercilessly, each believing our particular personality mix was superior. We had such fun wasting hours pulling each others temperaments apart. I still have contact with a few. Your prompted me to catch up with them. Thanks again.

Wow. Going through the online test was like taking a personal inventory on how much has changed! Very exciting stuff for me. When I first took one of these tests back in high school, I was whatever an extremely geeky introvert would be. Emphasis on extreme. Hmm. Or maybe emphasis on geek. :wink: Now I'm and ENFJ? Okay, a "slightly expressed E", but wow. Never thought I'd get this far. :D :D
One of the questions really struck me as I answered it, too.

You know what's weird? I just realized in answering this that don't actually like giving instructions :shock: - but I think a recent as a year ago I was always panicked at the idea of NOT giving instructions if I thought I had a handle on things while others were strugging. This year has been great, though, because not only is my boss helping me find better ways of delegating, but the project I'm on has somewhat lax deadlines, which has given me the luxury of watching people learn things in their own time - without the world coming to an end (what made me think it would?).
Thanks for this thread, Write.

I took this test years ago and did it again just now. Surprise, surprise I'm exactly the same. An INFJ, same as you Jac!
I wondered whether it would come out the same because I feel like a different person but, no, it's the same old me.
write:
I found learning about being INFJ a wonderful spring-board, I got to understand why I so often pile into situations like I'm on a crusade and why I continue with things long after they are right or healthy for me, out of duty.
There is a rigidity in me which I never recognised before reading the INFJ stuff.
I'm learning to tone that down now, and be gentler with myself and other people.
I don't believe in astrology, but if it gives insights into personal growth I'll try anything!
