Myers-Briggs Testing
Jan. 13th, 2006 08:15 pmI posed some questions on religion in my INFJ (the Myers-Briggs type) community,
infj. If anyone else here wants to answer them, I have listed them. It could be good for comparison, and, well, I'm immensely curious! It's about religion, so it should be interesting.

I have been obsessed with Myers-Briggs personality types testings for the past few days (I think it's because I'm bored, because everyone is back at school-- or not back at school, and in Kansas and New York and Kentucky and southern Indiana and things-- even my family is back at school and back at work, and so I'm all on my own for all of the day-- plus, well, I'm getting sick of being back here, anyway. I miss school!). I've gotten pretty good at predicting people's personalities; if I can't guess them completely by myself, I can ask them a few pretty good, pointed questions and then figure it out from there, at least to the conflict of only one of the four categories. After that, I have them read some description of their type (or possible types) to see if it (or what) fits.
Me: INFJ (always have been astoundingly so, since my mom read that Nurture vs. Nature book-- I've grown up parallel to it; it's ridiculous), with learned skills to ENFJ.
Tiffany: ISFJ.
Jessica: ENFJ, with learned skills to ENTJ.
Lisa: ISTJ.
Nicole (untested, but I suspect): INFP, with learned skills to ISFP.
Kristina (untested, but I suspect): INFJ.

I have discovered that I am very vain about my personality type. I'm more strongly rooted in it than most people (I don't flip-flop between N and S, F and T, or J and P-- or all combinations of the three sets-- like most people tend to do; the most I do is behave a little ENFJ because I've learned to be more outgoing, and I care more about people-- even if I am drained by interaction with them-- than the average Introvert), and, well, Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, and supposedly Albus Dumbledore and even Jesus Christ share the same Myers-Briggs type!
. . . and, well, a personality is a worthy thing to be vain of, I think. It's something a little more within the realm of control. Though I'm not without my weaknesses ^_^
Supposedly some of us are psychic, too, but I don't about that-- though I can sense "death" in the ground, places . . .
. . . and we're also The Tin Man. Somehow, Wicked made that a lot more unflattering than it could have been . . .
