Title: Neat personality-type test..
Post by DonnaH_again on Feb 23^rd, 2008, 10:26am

The questions seem so random, but the results are so accurate.

What type are you? (Unlike the title, it has nothing to do with programming).

It's accurate, what comes to me:

ENFJ - Teachers, consultants, psychiatrists, social workers, counselers, clergy, sales representative, human resources, managers, events coordinators, politicians, diplomats, writers, actors, designers, homemakers, musicians, religious workers, writers. They have a gift of encouraging others actualize themselves, and provide excellent leadership.

ENTP - Entrepeneurs, lawyers, psychologists, photographers, consultants, sales represenatives, actors, engineers, scientists, inventors, marketers, computer programmers, comedians, computer analysts, credit investigators, journalists, psychiatrists, public relations, designers, writers, artists, musicians, politicians. Very freedom-oriented, they need a career which allows them to act independent and express their creativity and insight.

Kathy.......if you're talking about hidgic, out of at least 100 tries, I've gotten on the score board just three times. My son assures me that in every case, it is possible through logic alone to solve.......no guessing needed. But you can see by my record that I'm not there YET.

By the way, on this personality test, I'm a ENTJ.

Title: Re: Neat personality-type test..
Post by catlind on Feb 23^rd, 2008, 12:00pm

I came up as:

ENTJ - Business executives, CEOs, organization founders, business administrators, managers, entrepeneurs, judges, lawyers, computer consultants, university professors, politicians, credit investigators, labor relations worker, marketing department manager, mortgage banker, systems analysts, scientists. They are born to lead and can steer the organization towards their vision, using their excellent organizing and understanding of what needs to get done.

Hmmm don't see stay at home mom on that list..... maybe it's time for a career change :P
Oh wait, to take care of a household and get 3 kids to 3 different schools and make sure all projects, meetings etc. are done and get hubby off to work and try to help him manage his time....perhaps it's more accurate than I thought ;)

I'm another ENTJ......

Edit to add:

Home

ENTJ's take charge of the home. When an ENTJ is present, there will be little doubt as to who is in command. Because their work is so important to them, however, they can become increasingly absent, especially if male. Male or female, ENTJ's expect a great deal of their mates, who need to possess a strong personality of their own, a well-developed autonomy, many and varied interests, and a healthy self-esteem. A career wife, however, may not be appealing to an ENTJ male, who is apt to view his home and family as a part of his professional background, a resource, and adjunct to his own career development. As a parent, an ENTJ will be thoroughly in charge, and the children will know what is expected of them and will be expected to obey. When this does not occur, an ENTJ parent is not apt to make a scene; rather, there is more likely to be a low-key, firm issuance of reprimand and a taking-for-granted of immediate obedience. While both mating and parenting are roles of importance to the ENTJ's, they are to some degree preempted by the ENTJ's strong career interest. The romantic dream and the quest for the ideal mate is usually not a characteristic of this type. ENTJ's generally do, however, expect a home to be attractive, well-ordered, with meals served punctually and maintenance accomplished on schedule-all these in the service of the larger goal of creating a family system where children can be reared to be productive and healthy and establishing a devoted, harmonious relationship between man and woman. An ENTJ male might expect his mate to be active in civic and community affairs, to be socially sophisticated, and as well educated as he. The ENTJ female may find it difficult to select a mate who is not overwhelmed by her strong personality and will.

INTJ - Scientists, engineers, professors, teachers, medical doctors, dentists, corporate strategists, organization founders, business administrators, managers, military, lawyers, judges, computer programmers, system analysts, computer specialists, psychologists, photographers, research department managers, researchers, university instructors, chess players. They have a particular skill at grasping difficult, complex concepts and building strategies.

I've taken this test several times over the years and I always come out the same.

Did'ya ever notice how the analysis of personality types never says something like:

XQGP - The Freeloader. The XQGP is never motivated and never satisfied. They tend to be lazy, unrepentant, sloth-like, and most live in their parents' basement. XQGP's usually find their life's vocation in panhandling, railcar riding, fire-building (in 55-gallon drums), and in welfare mothering.

ENTP ENTPs are known for their quest of the novel and complex. They have faith in their ability to improvise and to overcome any challenges that they face. They are highly independent, and value adaptability and innovation. They may be several steps ahead of others in encouraging and valuing change.

ENTP profile
ENTPs are frequently described as clever, cerebrally and verbally quick, enthusiastic, outgoing, innovative, and resourceful. ENTPs are motivated by a desire to understand the world they live in, and improve it. They are usually very accurate when sizing up a situation. They may have a perverse sense of humor and sometimes play devil's advocate, which can create misunderstandings with friends, coworkers, and family. However, ENTP's are quite ingenious and are quite adept at directing relationships between means and ends. More so than other types, ENTPs can "think outside the box" and come up with fresh, unexpected solutions to difficult problems. However, they are less interested in generating detailed plans or following through than in generating ideas and possibilities. However, when the ENTP is used correctly on a team, they offer an incredible depth of understanding and a high degree of flexibility and problem solving ability. The ENTP regards a comment like "it can't be done" as a personal challenge, and will spare no expense to discover a solution once properly motivated.

Took this for what seems like the nth time, and I'm still an ENFJ, even though I haven't taken this in years. I noticed that I'm on the border between E/I (6 answers E, 5 answers I) and also J and P.

Musicians and teachers are ENJF, which definitely fits me and my personality type. Nurses are ESFJs or others with S instead of N. I'm a nurse, but I don't fit that personality type! Maybe because I'm more of a musician at heart? I dunno.... :)
