I've been talking a lot about Personality types lately. I first did this test (with much skepticism) as part of my tesol training. It was a really enriching exercise which I thoroughly recommend.
I mentioned last time that it was unsual for me not to become tired after spending some much time with someone/someones. I've had some requests for a description of that personality, so anyway, for those who were asking, this is a detailed description of my personality. If you wanna do the test yourself, there are multiple places to do it (albiet a less complete version) online, but here are two:http://www.humanmetrics.co m/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp and http://www.personalitypath ways.com/type_inventory.ht ml
Anyway, my type is INFJ ....which is Introverted (opp. Extroverted) iNtuition (opp. sensing) Feeling (opp. Thinking) Judging (opp. Perceiving). I was going to copy and past a wack of info...but you can just follow the link and I'll save us all the visual clutter.....My type is the rarest (1% of people) and clearly coolest as well. JK. The titles for this type are either 'protector, prophet, healer, or counsellor'
Anyway read away...

Ha ha - I am INTJ.
We had to take this test at MD, remember? Or at least, I did. I think I scored almost exactly the same.
Yea, now that you mention it, I remember a test at MD....but I thought it was a different one. Anyway, my personality was still in a fragile forming state back then :) I don't remember what I scored....
ISTJ in this corner... at least, that's how it came out from the abbreviated test on one of your links, Matt.
I share 2 letters with you, and 3 with Reba.
Hmmmm. AB would be, what, ENFP? That would make us total and absolute opposites, so that'd be about right, eh?. Opposites do attract. Together we complete each other. (or we fight!?)
Thanks for the insight!
Hey, AB would be an E that is for sure....haha.
What was your title? Like mine was the counsellor/prophet/healer
They often group people by those two middle letters....so they describe NF's or NT's or ST's almost as a group...
Jenny is ENFP...did I write that in my blog? I forget...but that personalitypage website had a dedicated relationship page that talks about challenges/strengths of each type in relationships
I'm a ENTJ. Best epitomized as "the Rational Fieldmarshal". Examples of ENTJ's are: Hillary Clinton, Napoleon, Margret Thatcher, Carl Sagan, Bill Gates, Golda Meir, Edward Teller, George Benard Shaw, and General George C. Marshall.
Dad
haha.....I guess those are some cool examples....I don't know if they quite touch Jesus though....apparently he was Infj...:)
haha! this feels like a D+D character scorecard.
I find this quite true of you. I’ll bet most of the prophets were like you. Elijah and Isaiah especially would seem to’ve been good fits. I hope you’ll comet the earth just as they.
Apparently I’m like Mark Twain + Steven Spielberg: both of whom I respect but sadly fail in admiring. HA! Maybe that’s an indicator! You’ve ‘ad luck enough to be compared with a couple that you couldn’t say wot against; Ghandi!?
My result is ENFP; Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving. This apparently means I’m only part of 2-3% of the pop, which makes me 1% less special than you ☹.
