I would really like to see this thread developed. Anyone have any ideas for doing that?
I was thinking the same thing. WOuld be interesting to have some measure of comparing personality types, whether it be for match making, for fun, or to guage the level of one's compatibility even for friendship.
Then again, I'm great at throwing ideas into the mixing pot, and never nearly as good at implementing them... so for one of you thinkers out there... How could it be done? | |

Learning this at a work semenar was kind of challenging because I do not think this personallity is ideal for my workplace... I am pretty disorganized :) oh well- I survive and think i do a good job! Here's a Big Cheer for Diversity, eh? | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 3:00:20 PM | | My honey took the test online (I realize that is a much simplified version, I've taken both and the results were the same) and he is an ESTJ and I'm an ENFP. The thinking/feeling I scored pretty much 50/50 on. We've talked about how we're alike and different, it's been something interesting to talk about and observe. Like I mentioned before on these types of tests, they're only as accurate as the answers given. I'm sure if anyone wanted, they could skew the test by giving false answers. If it didn't have merit it would not be used. My father was a minister and used the Myers-Briggs for his premarital counseling and found it extremely useful. | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 3:20:51 PM | Out of curiousity is there a good time to do this.
I did it again and came up with different results.
First time I did it I came up with ESFJ.
Took it again and I came up with ENFJ. | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 3:37:06 PM | | You know I think you two are the cat's meow...haha. The gentleman who posted earlier is correct, there are professionals and clergy who are certified to administer, grade and interpret the actual M/B which is more extensive than the online versions. Trying to answer your question, classy, I'd just say when you're emotionally neutral. I've also taken different online versions, mine always come up the same. I'd also look at the percentages, areas where you're nearly 50/50 may come up different, because you're so close to being equal in those aspects, where as something where you're 80/20 or an extreme those will most likely be the same always. | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 3:53:51 PM | When I was reading both personality tests ESFJ and ENFJ'S are kissing cousins.
I do want to comment that this thread is very informative and quite useful.
You are making me wonder if the minister that married me used this test.
He was Baptist.
Curiousity is killin' this cat. | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 4:06:21 PM | | classy If he used this test you would know it. It's an actual paper test that you fill out, answering questions just like the online version. All the test taker does is grade it and help explain the results. But you would know if it were used, it's not something they fill out, you answer the questions yourself. | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 4:30:08 PM | I'm with you completely on this one JMelton.
After reading up on the Introversion/Extroversion traits, it all helped me to understand myself better, and that need at times to withdraw and regenerate.
For several years I was classed as an INFP (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceptive) though recent tests now put me as INFJ and so can definately relate strongly to both the FP and FJ traits. Perhaps it was just the day and mood when taking the last test?
The INF part though never changes and I do find I there is an unspoken understanding between fellow IN's in terms of respecting others personal space and not invading that too much. Most of my closest and longterm friends have these traits and we get along beautifully.
We call ourselves the 'Sociable Loners' haha.
Love being with people, but also enjoy my own company and very rarely get lonely. When you are comfortable with your own soul, you are never alone. Solitude is something I cherish. It also allows me to really enjoy the time and camaraderie when Im with other people.
I put it this way... when Im with others I give 100%. When Im alone I give myself 100%. If I do not have that solitude time away to commune with my own soul, I become drained and cannot be 'as present' as I would like to be, when with others.
As time goes on, I am learning to find the balance between these two allocations of time and energy and its getting easier to communicate the boundaries to others.And so agree with you Melton on the point of we introverted types understand the Extrovert and yet oftentimes they have issues understanding us. Maybe these forums are just the thing for mutual insight and understanding of the other. | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 4:34:07 PM | Remember filling out a paper and He lovingly explaining the results. All I can remember was that he interviewed us individually and than he took us together.
That was 26 years ago. Ya jarred something when you mentioned your dad used this test. | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 4:36:29 PM | .... classy if you took this test in person it would have had to be a qualified and trained person that would administer the test. (which maybe he was?) There would have been discussion before hand telling you what the test was about, then follow up discussion afterwards about what the results mean, and how to interpret them.
I've done the test in person and online with the same results.... BUT it's not really a 'test'.... it's an inventory of your preferences... everyone passes! :)
I have used my understanding myers briggs often at work to help me understand people.... know what motivates them, how they tend to make decisions, how to understand why some people don't see things right away as I do, or vice versa.... It's really quite amazing when you start looking at other people's preferences, in relation to your own. For example one of my co-workers is a 'big picture' thinker... and I'll get the big picture eventually, but need the details.... it takes us a little time to get on the same page sometimes.... it's good to understand that about each other.
Definately one thing that was said... that I really like... diversity is great! Understanding one another helps makes diversity work in harmony! | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 5:04:40 PM | | A key ingredient in any relationship, romantic, work, friends, family is understanding. I can accept and work with, around or through most personality traits if I understand where they're coming from. Even helps greatly in dealing with problem areas, or probably helps the MOST with problem areas. Sometimes we don't choose our battles well and many arguments and strong emotional confrontations could be avoided with understanding. It is very useful for a couple planning on spending their life together, as that's the closest type of relationship we usually ever have. Being aware of and learning to deal with or work through problem areas can mean a great deal towards a happier relationship. | |
