"...but she has a great personality!"

what's your personality type? take this quiz and find out!

i did, and apparently i'm an IFSJ:

The Nurturer

You have a strong need to belong, and you are very loyal. A good listener, you excel at helping others in practical ways. In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music. You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for.

In love, you express your emotions through actions. Taking care of someone is how you love them. And you do it well!

At work, you do well in a structured environment. You complete tasks well and on time. You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.

How you see yourself: Competent, dependable, and detail oriented

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Boring, dominant, and stuck in a rut.


it was, i think, a surprisingly accurate snapshot of me. what are you?

I'm a Guardian. Sounded wrong, at first, but after reading, I think it's bang on.

You're a natural leader and quick, logical decision maker.
Goals are important in your life, and you take many steps to acheive them.
You enjoy interacting with others, mostly through work related activities.
Your high energy level means you are great at getting things done!

In love, you tend to bring stability to relationships.
You feel comfortable being in charge, and you enjoy being a provider.

At work, you take charge. You thrive in structured environments and don't mind enforcing the rules.
You would make a great teacher, judge, or police detective.

How you see yourself: Realistic, stable, and pragmatic

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Rigid, bound to rules, and a bad listener

another surprisingly fitting result!

Ew, manipulative, weak, and unstable. Really? I took the test twice, and got this both times. They must know something!

vickie said...

yes, but "manipulative et al." is only when people *don't* get you. btw, when will you begin your alternative-medicine guru training? ;-)

Jennifer said...

Heh heh. Maybe I can open a satellite clinic for the practice of Deepak Chopra's "Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire".

Back from vacation and getting to catch up on blog entries ;-)

I am still an ENTJ (which has come up the first two times I did Meyers Briggs in high school and university...something to be said for consistency I guess)

The Executive

You are a natural leader - with confidence and strength that inspires others.
Driven to succeed, you are always looking for ways to gain, power, knowledge, and expertise.
Sometimes you aren't the most considerate person, especially to those who are a bit slow.
You are not easily intimidated - and you have a commanding, awe-inspiring presence.

In love, you hold high standards... for yourself, for your relationship, and for your significant other.
While it's easy for you to impress others, it's hard for you to find someone who impresses you.

At work, you are organized and good at delegating. You understand how to achieve goals.
You would make a great CEO, entrepreneur, or consultant.

How you see yourself: Rational, calm, and objective

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Inflexible, controlling, and overbearing
