myers briggs personality type
Do you know your Myers Briggs type? I just had to take the assessment for my careers class, and I've swung back to E.
Here's an online test that's pretty close to the formal one. If you get a second, take it, and let us know what your type is. Thoughts about your results?

I'm ISTJ (inspector).
The one word that best describes Inspectors is superdependable. Whether at home or at work, Inspectors are extraordinarily persevering and dutiful, particularly when it comes to keeping an eye on the people and products they are responsible for. In their quiet way, Inspectors see to it that rules are followed, laws are respected, and standards are upheld.
Overall, I think the extended description is pretty accurate for me. It makes me sound super lame, though.
But it was interesting to read, because it helped me realize why I've been successful in some parts of my life, and less successful in others.
Deeder, what were the 4 letters?
I got ESFJ. Provider.
I'm thinking I didn't understand some of the questions, because the description didn't reflect how I think of myself.
I think my answers vary with each question depending on what situation they are applied to.
It took me awhile to get through the test because I had the same issue deciding on an answer.
I ended up with ISFJ (Protector). I see a lot of myself in the extended description. Except for how this type of personality doesn't like changing rules and trying new procedures or products. I am generally not like this.
I have a hard time with standardized tests and blanket meanings, but I think there's some insight in the results.
When I took the official one, I was just over the E/I line (on the E side) and then all the way (as in, you could not be any more) NFP.
I was just a couple of points off from being this one. We're almost twinsies, Hoektastic!
Me too. My "S" is really low, though and I think depending on the test and the day I take the test it can come out differently.
I agree with Kasa that the description suits me fairly well.
Yeah you are! ENFP's unite!
High fives!
LOL at Mastermind. Best description ever. I want to retake it so that's where I end up
My S is only a 12.
I can't insert a thumbs up symbol. So just imagine it here.
Jim and I are almost the same type (he's just a little into I, I'm just a little into E). I googled ENFP, and this was the first response: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html
It was an interesting read for me, and I'm sure they'll have the other types there, too.
I felt like the personality pages description resonated more with me than the one given by the test.
My favorite part was this: Under stress, ISTJs may fall into "catastrophe mode", where they see nothing but all of the possibilities of what could go wrong. They will berate themselves for things which they should have done differently, or duties which they failed to perform. They will lose their ability to see things calmly and reasonably, and will depress themselves with their visions of doom.
It sounds exactly how I felt when my two less awesome grades came out. In fact I said at one point "I'm just so angry with myself...I feel like I didn't do what I should have and let everyone down." It's so funny (and sad) because it's so true.
Ryan came out as ENFJ - Idealist: Teacher

I also liked the description on this site better. It seemed more well-rounded if that makes sense. But I kept reading it thinking, "That's me... that's me... I do that...".
Interestingly, this description said that ISTJs are good parents. So... pro list.
ENFJ - Teacher. No surprise there I suppose. :-)
The entire description is pretty dead on, actually.
I was always about 50/50 on the E/I and last time I took it, I tilted over to the world of "I". I guess that is what being married to an I and having two kids did to me.
hee hee.
I think a few things fit me.
More so than other types, ISFJs are extremely aware of their own internal feelings, as well as other people's feelings. They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set. Many ISFJs learn to express themselves, and find outlets for their powerful emotions.
They also say
The ISFJ has an extremely well-developed sense of space, function, and aesthetic appeal. For that reason, they're likely to have beautifully furnished, functional homes. They make extremely good interior decorators. This special ability, combined with their sensitivity to other's feelings and desires, makes them very likely to be great gift-givers - finding the right gift which will be truly appreciated by the recipient.
I've always gone out of my way to try to make my home (i.e. dorm room, apartment, house) homey and comfy, but l wouldn't say I would bea good interior decorator.
