Moderately expressed introvert (33%) Moderately expressed intuitive (38%) a whooping (62% feeling and a slightly expressed perceiving (11%).<br /><br />The Introvert really threw me. Anybody who knows me, including me, would be surprised at that assessment, but when I read THEIR description, it fit me to a T. Who woulda thunk?<br /><br />A story based o the sixteen personality types could be interesting, but I think I would go nuts trying to keep track.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-39426672854467719712013-01-10T09:58:58.322-07:002013-01-10T09:58:58.322-07:00567, actually ... not that my job has anything to ...567, actually ... not that my job has anything to do with administering said test that you mentioned ... ;)<br /><br /><br />I say your spot on here.<br />David P.

It's good to have people who think like you do, but it can be bad if you've got folks who are completely different because you won't see eye to eye on anything. BUT, it's best to have people who are nice mixtures. I'm a detailed oriented person so I need someone who's a P(erceiver) who's a big picture person.<br /><br />Johanna, I'm not sure I'd like for people to be analyzing me. Like I said, there's no right or wrong answer. This test merely shows how you view the world.<br /><br />Emily, it might mean more to you if you knew what each of those things really mean. I'll get into it in later posts. Maybe that will help. ;) And yes, it was so much fun to get together with a group of crazy writers.<br /><br />Luanne--haha. That's a first. Love it!<br /><br />Carrie, one thing the online test fails at is letting you know what your score breakdown is. Because I studied Kiersey in a college class I have it on paper, so I know that I'm a flaming J and a flaming F, but I'm dead even with the N/S and one question answered differently would make me an X on the I/E thing. I wonder if your I/E score is closer like mine is. That would explain it.Donna K.

I know you have a lot you want to finish before then, but I'm really excited. :)<br /><br />I forgot what my results were, so I took the test again:<br /><br />"Teachers (ENFJ) are highly motivational and can influence others around them with great ease. They are people-oriented and focused on maintaining high spirits within their group." <br /><br />This is interesting, if not a lot strange, to me. I do enjoy leadership positions, and I have no problem working a crowd, but social interactions exhaust me. I've always considered myself more of an introvert, in that respect.
