Conjured Activism

conquering the world one oxymoron at a time

personality

I took Myers Briggs when I was 18, and came out as ISTJ, which seemed to fit as best as Myers Briggs goes in terms of being an introverted, logic-oriented engineer.  I took it again recently, and I came out ENFJ.  So aside from having remained as “judging” (read: judgmental?), I am the complete opposite of what I was 6 years ago.  How does that make any sense?

The funny thing is that I googled “Myers Briggs” and ended up at a site where one can score one-self as I vs. E, S v. N, F vs. T, or J vs. P.  Following the descriptions of each letter, I picked myself to be … ISTJ, exactly what I tested for when younger.  So the question is then do I erroneously categorize my personality because I THINK that I am a certain way?  But in reality (ie, when given scenarios), my actions actually point to a different personality?

That is all too much for me to think about right now.  If you are curious about your own four letters, take the test yourself.  (Original link courtesy of Paula :)

So, we have the same personality. Every single time I take the test, I’m an ISTJ. I guess I’m not a bubbly person or a touchy feely type of person. Oh well, I guess ISTJ people make the best engineers and researchers :)

You totally got me addicted to this thing. It looks like I’m an INFJ. A “counselor.” I scored highest in Judging. :-( I guess you and I should be careful about getting together - we’ll likely be rather hard on each other! :-) Haha! Take care Shan.
