Personality Type
I found a 4 factor personality test that I liked. I believe one of us may have posted something similar on another blog but I like to try out different ones to see if the result is the same. I think it's interesting that when I was younger my result on 4 factor tests was consistently INFP and for the past several years my result has been INTP. Apparently I've become more of a thinker than a feeler. Specifically my results on this test were: 76% introverted, 58% intuition, 47% thinking, and 82% perceiving. So I'm near the middle on the thinking-feeling continuum and the sensation-intuition continuum. I'm very high on perceiving. The description of perceivers stated, "Perceivers, on the other hand, rely on creativity, spontaneity, and responsiveness, rather than a plan or list, to get them through the day. They burn the midnight oil to meet deadlines, although they usually meet them. Perceivers like to turn work into play, because if a task is not fun, they reason, it is probably not worth doing."
That is so me.
That is so me.

I found it very difficult to answer those questions with any authority. So, take my results with a grain of salt:
EI: 7 out of 17 41%
SN: 9 out of 17 52%
TF: 9 out of 17 52%
JP: 11 out of 17 64%
Your Personality type is ENFP
" if a task is not fun, they reason, it is probably not worth doing" - how bout it...
"I found it very difficult to answer those questions with any authority"
Maybe that is an indication of something as well. Is "wishy-washy" a personality type?
How can you be an E?
I think my E/I swings wildly depending on my mood.
Wishy-washy is probably a good way to put it...I didn't feel a strong ownership of either statement in most cases, and I just went with a gut feeling of 'this one seems like its slightly more applicable'...which may or may not be right.
Take this for example:
Do you admire people who
* can get things done
* are warm and kind
I admire both types of people...pretty equally too. Depending on the very specific situation, I may admire a given 'type' more...but I don't have a strong opinion in a general sense...so difficult to answer...
I am an ISTJ
88% I
17% S
41% T
41% J
"ISTJ "Trustee" These are dependable pillars of strength. They often try to reform their mates and other people. They make good bank examiners, auditors, accountants, and phys. ed. teachers, and boy or girl scouts! 6% of the total population."
I would never be a Phys Ed teacher...NO FREAKIN WAY!!
I don't think G is an E...I think he lies when he takes these tests...LOL!
As an ENFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system.
ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.
ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things which interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values. An ENFP needs to feel that they are living their lives as their true Self, walking in step with what they believe is right. They see meaning in everything, and are on a continuous quest to adapt their lives and values to achieve inner peace. They're constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with themselves. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the ENFP's life, and because they are focused on keeping "centered", the ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values.

Hey, that sounds just like me! *sniff sniff*
Highly evolved values is another way of saying that I enjoy having babies for dinner!
I think the emotional excitement part is what makes me think it's not you.
hmmm, some of it sounds like you but you are definitely more of an introvert than an extrovert.
Perhaps you'd like to be an E.....
