ENFJ

You know how you take those personality tests online? I love them. Recently, a friend of mine sent me a shortened version of what I think is the Myers Briggs test. Basically you answer a lot of questions and then it tells you what you are with four different letters. You can have:

Extroverted/Introverted
Sensing/iNtuitive
Feeling/Thinking
Percieving/Judging

I got ENFJ.

Basically, I am outgoing, social, attention seeking, emotional, loving, organized, comfortable around others, involved, open, hyperactive, complimentary, punctual, considerate, altruistic, easily hurt, religious, neat, content, positive, affectionate, image conscious, good at getting people to have fun, easily excited, perfectionist, assertive, ambitious, leader, hard working, seductive, touchy, group oriented, anti-tattoos, or so said the the website that had the test. Another source said basically that (except for the random ones, i.e. anti-tattoos, which I am not) I am caring for those around me, loyal in relationships, able to manipulate people around me, I don't like it when controversial issues come up in conversation and make somebody feel uncomfortable, I express my opinions succinctly, and am kind of a neat freak. For more go to this site. Honestly, I agree with pretty much all that this says, although I agree with the second source more than the first. It is sort of scary how precise and how accurate it is!

The good career possibilities are anything involved with performing arts (acting, directing, casting, singing, dancing), interior decorator, hair and makeup stylist, guidance counselor, film critic, party planner, fashion designer, and broadcaster or new anchor.

Almost anything I have ever wanted to do with my life is on that list, except for lawyer. When I saw this, I was shocked.

It went on to say that I was good in relationships, would do anything to keep them going, and preferred long term relationships to flings.

So think about this. I just took this quiz with a bunch or random questions. I pressed submit, and then got a page telling me about myself. For the most part. Essentially everything is correct. How I interact with people, how I act in certain situations, what I like, what I dislike, what I am good and bad at. My character traits, my personality, everything. What type I would make a good couple with!

I read somewhere else that in my old age, I would probably take up gardening or the collection of art. I will also be a fine food and wine connoisseur...I will end up collecting amedieval European tapestries, apparently........

It is really amazing what psychology can determine.

Oh and I also found a list of famous people with the same personality type and jobs I should NOT have.
