What's your MBTI personality type?

[BonBon]

If you don't already know it, this seems to be the most reliable online test:

I've been really into this lately because I'm trying to understand why I'm frequently misunderstood. (and always by the same people...I've reached the conclusion that it's not me...it's them. )

I'm an INTJ, which is pretty rare for a female. DH is also an INTJ, which actually works nicely because we really understand how the other thinks. Unfortunately, there are times when we disagree and if it's something based on opinion and not facts...well, we can hash it out for hours.

I took a test in high school. I doubt I changed.

I was ESFJ.

Took it again. Same result.

INFJ: Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging. Fits me to a "T", even down to suggesting counseling as a good profession.

http://typelogic.com/infj.html

"INFJs are deeply concerned about their relations with individuals as well as the state of humanity at large. They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people -- a product of the Feeling function they most readily show to the world. On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts, who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious "soul mates." While instinctively courting the personal and organizational demands continually made upon them by others, at intervals INFJs will suddenly withdraw into themselves, sometimes shutting out even their intimates. This apparent paradox is a necessary escape valve for them, providing both time to rebuild their depleted resources and a filter to prevent the emotional overload to which they are so susceptible as inherent "givers." As a pattern of behavior, it is perhaps the most confusing aspect of the enigmatic INFJ character to outsiders, and hence the most often misunderstood -- particularly by those who have little experience with this rare type."

This sums me up perfectly. People are always so shocked when I tell them I am a true introvert, because you'd never know it if you just met me. DH is the same way. We both "look" like extroverts in our interactions with others, but it is our quiet alone time that recharges our batteries.

I highly recommend The Introvert Advantage for my fellow introverts.

ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.

ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability.

ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.

ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear.

TRADEMARK: "The first shall be last"
This refers to the open-door policy of ENFJs. One ENFJ colleague always welcomes me into his office regardless of his own circumstances. If another person comes to the door, he allows them to interrupt our conversation with their need. While discussing that need, the phone rings and he stops to answer it. Others drop in with a 'quick question.' I finally get up, go to my office and use the call waiting feature on the telephone. When he hangs up, I have his undivided attention!
Functional Analysis:

Extraverted Feeling
Extraverted Feeling rules the ENFJ's psyche. In the sway of this rational function, these folks are predisposed to closure in matters pertaining to people, and especially on behalf of their beloved. As extraverts, their contacts are wide ranging. Face-to-face relationships are intense, personable and warm, though they may be so infrequently achieved that intimate friendships are rare.
Introverted iNtuition
Like their INFJ cousins, ENFJs are blessed through introverted intuition with clarity of perception in the inner, unconscious world. Dominant Feeling prefers to find the silver lining in even the most beggarly perceptions of those in their expanding circle of friends and, of course, in themselves. In less balanced individuals, such mitigation of the unseemly eventually undermines the ENFJ's integrity and frequently their good name. In healthier individuals, deft use of this awareness of the inner needs and desires of others enables this astute type to win friends, influence people, and avoid compromising entanglements.
The dynamic nature of their intuition moves ENFJs from one project to another with the assurance that the next one will be perfect, or much more nearly so than the last. ENFJs are continually looking for newer and better solutions to benefit their extensive family, staff, or organization.

Extraverted Sensing
Sensing is extraverted. ENFJs can manage details, particularly those necessary to implement the prevailing vision. These data have, however, a magical flexible quality. Something to be bought can be had for a song; the same something is invaluable when it's time to sell. (We are not certain, but we suspect that such is the influence of the primary function.) This wavering of sensory perception is made possible by the weaker and less mature status with which the tertiary is endowed.
Introverted Thinking
Introverted Thinking is least apparent and most enigmatic in this type. In fact, it often appears only when summoned by Feeling. At times only in jest, but in earnest if need be, Thinking entertains as logical only those conclusions which support Feeling's values. Other scenarios can be shown invalid or at best significantly inferior. Such "Thinking in the service of Feeling" has the appearance of logic, but somehow it never quite adds up.
Introverted Thinking is frequently the focus of the spiritual quest of ENFJs. David's lengthiest psalm, 119, pays it homage. "Law," "precept," "commandment," "statute:" these essences of inner thinking are the mysteries of Deity for which this great Feeler's soul searched.

I think I like being described as a "benevolent pedagogue of humanity".

Also an ENFJ. A friend told me a few weeks ago that she was immediately drawn to me because of my charisma at a party. Ha that surprised me! I'm comfortable and can always hold my own around groups of people, but never really thought I was an extrovert. Interesting test.

[corn poffi]

Haha the guy who wrote the description has the last name of "butt". I wonder if they should incorporate your reaction to that into your score.

I'm an ESFJ. Which is pretty darn accurate. Except for the whole liking jobs in health care or elementary education. <<shudder>> Although, I do educate surgeons, which is kind of like teaching grade school...

[diggitydot]

It says I should be a teacher or a counselor.



I'm going to go with "Things That Probably Shouldn't Happen to Humanity" for $200, Alex...

I have two Master's in teaching! Diggity people from HS were shocked to find I went into teaching. I guess I don't give off those warm fuzzy vibes.

ISFJ, though I remember in high school I scored as an INTJ. I've definitely become less creative/theoretical and more practical (N->S), and more emotional/empathetic (T->F) as I've gotten older, so this makes sense. My introversion and judginess have not changed though!
