The instructions for today are:
Monday, September 9: Take this short personality test and respond to your results. (at the end, find the detailed profile of your personality account – click “click to view” under “You” and “self awareness and personal growth.” You can even google your type and find more info on it!)
This is how I came out:
ENFP
Extravert(56%) iNtuitive(12%) Feeling(75%) Perceiving(11)%
You have moderate preference of Extraversion over Introversion (56%)
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%)
You have distinctive preference of Feeling over Thinking (75%)
You have slight preference of Perceiving over Judging (11%)
I have taken these tests in the past. One of the big things I notice while taking them is that I often have a difficult time choosing between two answers! I really want there to be a “maybe” or “mostly” or “sometimes”! I have considered trying it answering them one way, keeping track, and then doing the opposite to see where I end up, but that seems a bit time consuming!
The other thing that I think of when I take these tests is of an exercise that I did in my Psych class when I was in college. We all took a test (I don’t recall the specifics of the test!), it was scored, and we all received a personality profile in the next class. After we had read them we were asked how accurate we thought they were. Most of us said we thought they were not perfect, but not too far off. Then the instructor told us that we were all holding the exact same profile!! He said that they are designed in such a way that they can describe many people, especially as we all give heavier weight to the parts that we feel are like us, and less weights to the parts that are not like us. He said this is how Zodiac sign descriptions etc are written. Ever since this class, I have been somewhat skeptical about these tests, especially when you add in what I describe above, that I feel like I could answer many of the questions either way!!
Apropos of nothing, here is a photo of my cute puppy on the boat!! (I just wanted to include a photo in the post!!)
Here are my results. I have taken these before and pretty much come out the same all the time.
INTJ
Introvert(33%) iNtuitive(25%) Thinking(12%) Judging(89%)
You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (33%)
You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (25%)
You have slight preference of Thinking over Feeling (12%)
You have strong preference of Judging over Perceiving (89%)
Adorable picture! And I love that story. I’ve always felt like we do kind of do things that way, though it is a bit different with these personality tests since they can get the gyst of certain things- like extroversion over introversion or emotions over logic. But I HATE only having black an white choices.
