Myers-Briggs Psychological Types

[Dash]

For those of you who are familiar with the Myer-Briggs psychological types, here's a thread to share yours. I think it might be fun to know more about the personalities that frequent our forum, and even help us understand each other's postings and replies.

I am INFP. You may read some remarkably accurate portraits of me by following the links below:

For more information, I provide the following resources:

The personality types are fascinating in themselves, and even more fascinating is what happens when our inferior personality traits surface. Here, in this sometimes emotionally-charged environment, it might help to understand those moments as well.

My source for that information is very small, easy to read book titled In the Grip: Understanding Type, Stress, and the Inferior Function.

And...............GO!

I am ENFJ ... I think this is something all of of us can agree on ... for once.

This is me:

ENFP - "The Champions"
When I took the test I was actually equally E & I.

I think Jerry Falwell is probably an ENFP too. Our personalities really are very alike.

I waver between INFP and INTP. My "I" (introvertedness) is pretty strong, the rest seem to be more balanced.

I'm sure Venari and many others will agree ;-)

Hope everyone has a great sunday.

See! This is fun! I love reading this kind of information about folks! I like how the Typelogic links each personality type to the others by the way they relate.

Plus, I'm like, "Yup!" That's the way Mr. Perry is! ; and "Hmmm...I wonder if that helps me understand Mr. Venari?"; and "Hahahah! Now everybody knows my head is full of cotton candy and marshmallow fluff!"; and "Maybe that's why I 'get' Lydia and Schoolboi so easily!".

Thanks for playin'!

If you like the Meyers-Brigg test, you might like the Enneagram as well. FWIW, I've found it to be even more accurate than the Meyers-Brigg as it attempts to take into account an individuals level of good (or poor) mental health at the time when describing different personality types. Or at least that's how the book by the same name was laid out. I haven't tried their online version yet.

I did that test some time ago but when I read what it said I was like OMG, that's me to a tee!

It's facinating.

I took the free test. It says I am:
Type Seven
The Enthusiast
The busy, productive type. Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous.

How it could tell i am versatile I don't. I normally don't reveal that till at very least the third date!

I also ranked high as:
Type One
The Reformer
The principled, idealistic type. Ones are conscientious and ethical, with a strong sense of right and wrong. They are teachers, crusaders, and advocates for change: always striving to improve things, but afraid of making a mistake.

Both seem accurate to me!

A couple of years ago at the annual Soulforce staff retreat we all took the Myers-Briggs test. (No I'm not actually one staff, just constant a groupie) If I remember correctly

Jake is a: ENTJ
Gary is a: ESFJ
Mel is in an oddity go figure! His I and E are at equal levels as his J and P are also equal. So he is a I/ENFJ/P
This is kinda fussy, but I think Bill is and INFP.

Jamie I'm not sure if you were on staff yet when we took the test.
