Personality Inventories

At my highschool (and consequently now, my workplace), your senior year on testing day when everyone is taking annoying prep standardized tests and whatnot, you get to take the Myers-Briggs personality inventory. Yes yes, I know, it’s not exact and “I’m an exception” and how dare they try to categorize people and snark snark snark. Now that all that’s aside, I enjoyed taking this my senior year. I’ve taken it “unofficially” several times since, and always get pretty much the same thing. It’s just fun to read about the types and see the people you know within them and be like “ohhhhhhh!”

We are an elusive type, apparently.

Anyway, I have a lot of fun with this, and I love reading and seeing if what they say is accurate about people I know. So here is a game, yes? Go to this site and read about my type (INJF) and find a sentence in the description that pops out to you, one that you are convinced was written specifically about me, it is so accurate. Then comment with the sentence so I can see.

(if you’ve not taken it and would like to, you can google “Myers Briggs” or “Jungian Personality Test” and find a number of online versions. I’m pretty sure they are all mostly the same. Here’s one…
