Aah, Myers-Briggs
Aug. 9th, 2001 04:28 pmStephanie took it, so I thought I would. I've taken this test no less than 20 times, the first time being in my 9th grade Pre-Confirmation class. This is probably time 24 or so. And this time (*tum ta daaa*!), I got a different result. Innnteresting. I have been an ENFP forever. Now I am an ENFJ, according to el website.
This made things different. And I have to say, I think I agree with it more. Especially this part: Teachers expect the very best of those around them, and this expectation, usually expressed as enthusiastic encouragement, motivates action in others and the desire to live up to their expectations. Teachers have the charming characteristic of taking for granted that their expectations will be met, their implicit commands obeyed, never doubting that people will want to do what they suggest. And, more often than not, people do, because this type has extraordinary charisma.
Now all I need to do is suggest that someone swoon. So they will want to do so. But who?

Date: 2001-08-09 02:47 pm (UTC)actually, I often flip back and forth on thinking/feeling, but the fact is, while I *feel* things lots, I rarely let it overwhelm me; I got over a lot of the emotionality and smacking bathroom doors in tempers and stuff when I was younger. ;-)
these days, post dustin (and I don't know if this is good or bad) it's like I have a switch to the side, that even when i'm overwhelmed with emotions, I sit at the back of my head just analyzing everything and making notes so that if I ever 'need to describe this in a story, I'll have it...'

Date: 2001-08-09 08:54 pm (UTC)I think the next time I have to explain recursive functions to someone, I'm going to bring this up.
Except I'm ashamed that I did see the recursion myself. Bad Geek!

Date: 2001-08-09 08:56 pm (UTC)I'm not allowed to take these tests. I sit there and try and figure out what scale each question belongs to, and how I have to answer it in order for it to give me the response that I'm expecting. I'm jsut weird like that.
But I used to be an ENFJ in college. No idea what's changed...
