So I left everyone hanging!

I apparently changed MBTI types. I got an ESFJ this time around... although, based on the descriptions of each, I think that I am still an ENFJ. I think I over-thought some of the questions and answered them a little off from what I would normally do.

Anyway, we got this extended handout on it- and here's the comparison between the two:

Characteristics associated with people who prefer sensing: (s)

- oriented to present realities
- factual and concrete
- focus on what is real and actual
- observe and remember specifics
- build carefully and thoroughly toward conclusions
- understand ideas and theories through practical applications
- trust experience

vs.

Characteristics associated with people who prefer intuition (N):

- oriented toward future possibilities
- imaginative and verbally creative
- focus on patterns and meanings in data *
- remember specifics when they relate to a pattern *
- move quickly to conclusions, follow haunches *
- want to clarify ideas and theories before putting them into practice *
- trust inspiration *

I'm definitely an "N". I can stop having my quarter life crisis now.

MBTI - Personality Inventory

So tonight at formation we're going to get the results of our Myer's Briggs Test back. I haven't taken this test (officially, although I've done the facebook version recently) in several years, and for some reason, I'm a little anxious about getting the results back.

Why? I'm afraid that my personality type has CHANGED. Why should that worry me, you might ask.

Because I liked my old one! =)

In the past, I've gotten ENFJ- Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging.
I guess I like being an ENFJ, and I'll be heartbroken if I find out I'm an ISTP (the polar opposite). Lol.

Here's a short description of an ENFJ. Tell me if you think it sounds like me:

E - energized by being with other people; like being the center of attention; act, then think; tend to think out loud; are easier to "read" and know; share personal information freely; talk more than listen; communicate with enthusiasm; respond quickly; enjoy a fast pace; prefer breadth to depth.

N - Trust inspiration and inference; like new ideas and concepts for their own sake; value imagination and innovation; like to learn new skills; get bored easily after mastering skills; tend to be general and figurative; use metaphors and analogies; present information through leaps, in a roundabout manner; are oriented toward the future.

F - consider effect of actions on others; value empathy and harmony; see the exception to the rule; naturally like to please others; show appreciation easily; may be seen as overemotional, illogical, and weak; consider it important to be tactful as well as truthful; believe any feeling is valid, whether it makes sense or not; are motivated by a desire to be appreciated.

J - Are happiest after decisions have been made; have a "work ethic": work first, play later (if there's time); set goals and work toward achieving them on time; prefer knowing what they are getting into; are product oriented (emphasis on completing the task); derive satisfaction from completing projects; see time as a finite resource and take deadlines seriously.

I'll let you know the results later!
