Here are my results:

ISFJ!

Sensing (S) 55% Intuitive (N) 45%
Feeling (F) 70% Thinking (T) 30%

Tradtionally I have been ISTJ so there's not really a big difference.

This is quite interesting to me. We certainly have a LOT of introverts on LGM! So far, only SJon and Bishop2 are extroverts.

I'm so glad I took this test. I went back and started reading up on my type. It really does describe me exactly. Thanks Loop for the test. It really blessed me!!! :D

Yeah, TBlock my type description is basically pretty accurate, even though I'm sure most of us have some traits of each type in us. Each time I take different versions of this test multiple times I come up with similar results.

Part of my personality description is that I don't mind conflict and sometimes like to argue! That CAN'T BE TRUE, can it??  ?/? ;) :D

Well at least we have at least ONE extrovert in the LGM fam!  :D Very interesting indeed, SJon. It says one of the ideal careers for an ESTJ is...TEACHING.

I guess only us introverts feel safe enough to post in this thread!
:D

I guess you didn't read through the thread. Bishop2 is ALSO an extrovert.  ;) :D 8)

Once I took one of these tests and my result was ENTP, which is intersting because though I can be very extroverted and outgoing at times, I'm really more of an introvert. However when I read the description of the ENTP, this sentence jumped right out at me:

"ENTPs are fluent conversationalists, mentally quick, and enjoy verbal sparring with others. They love to debate issues, and may even switch sides sometimes just for the love of the debate."

WOW. Now THAT'S me all day long.  :D :D

OMG, that's me too, dude!!! I love debating with smart and reasonable people... and I will DEFINITELY switch sides to keep the excitement going! LOL!

My results:


Ta-dah, your personality type is ENFP!

Extraverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50%
Intuitive (N) 55% Sensing (S) 45%
Feeling (F) 55% Thinking (T) 45%
Perceiving (P) 55% Judging (J) 45%

Ok, I just read the Myers-Briggs description, and I don't see myself in it at all.  I read the Keirsey description, and found it to be a lot more accurate.

In a weird way, though, this test kinda depressed me.  I've been trying to figure myself out for years. I'm very analytical and very black and white.  Everything in my world has to have an answer or explanation, and has to be reasonable and logical.  Everything has to fit into its proper container... these results are so split down the middle that it really doesn't help at all.

I took the Myers-Brigg one at least twice before for jobs, and I don't remember the letters, but I know the results were more definitive.  This feels like a computer just took a wild guess with me.  :D :-\ :-[ :(

Ok, so I just looked my description up on that second link Loop posted, and I feel much better. LOL!

That one describes me fairly well, with a few nuances.

Also, I meant to highlight this line from the Keirsey explanation of a ENFP:


With a dramatic flair, they share their experiences with others, hoping to reveal some universal truth or win others over in support of a cause.

Now come on, y'all... you KNOW that's totally me! LOL!!!  Though you probably never realized it (unless you know me offline), that underlined part is especially true of me... I'm always trying to collect data to come to some universal truth so I can put it in a box and move on to the next subject...  :-\

Yeah, but that would be gray, not black and white. 

I mean, it could be that I'm both, but that would seem like such a cruel trick, since God knows that it stresses me out to not be able to analyze and define things... if I'm neither introverted nor extraverted, well... that's a bit of a problem for me.  :-\

Oddly enough, I've never been able to figure out which I am.  People think I'm extraverted because I'm outspoken and assertive, but I'm very anti-social and very uncomfortable in group settings.  I hate being in the spotlight (whether for something good, bad, or neutral).  At the same time, I am very friendly and I work very hard at being outgoing and making people comfortable when they're in my presence.

But, how many people are both introverted AND extraverted at the same time?  What kind of an anomaly is that???

LOL! Wow. You and Bishop2 are the exact same type! I can definitely agree with that!  :D

Ever since I got that ENTP result, I 've been looking at different descriptions on the internet, and that one definitely describes me! The original ISTP result just didn't seem to quite fit. I'm probably like you, LaRue: 50/50 Introvert/Extrovert because though I can be the "life of the party" and can be VERY outgoing at times and don't mind being in a crowd, I'm perfectly fine with being alone and sometimes don't want to be bothered with the folks! Also sometimes in group settings, I'm the one that's quiet and not saying much, doing more listening than talking.

Also, aside from the love of arguing/debating, this sentence really jumped out at me as well:

"ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this."

OMG that is SO me! All day long! Also this:

"ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they tend to regard as challenges, and tackle with determination.)"

This is so true as well. Any time a major setback comes, though I get kinda stressed, I'm usually the one remaining calm and viewing it as just a "bump in the road" that I'll get over, and I ALWAYS think I'll come out on top, and I usually do!  :D

And this:

"They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport."

OMG! How many times right here on LGM has someone gotten a little offended with me because they think I'm berating them with my arguments, and they think I'm mad and trying to insult them because I can get pretty passionate with my arguments! That is TOO funny!  :D :D And I'm ALWAYS playing the devil's advocate! Also, at times my sense of humor tends to sometimes be biting, sarcastic and sometimes "wry". My friends accuse me of having a "slick mouth" because of some of the one-liners I have uttered!  :D

Finally:

"They highly value knowledge, and spend much of their lives seeking a higher understanding."

That is SOOOOO true, and it's one of the reasons I decided to pursue a career as a teacher!

This is all too interesting to me, which is another trait. I'm very interested in who I am.  ;)

The I'm only "outspoken" and/or "assertive" every once in a while.  (And, unfortunately, during that one time on the prayer call... :-[ :D )

Other than that we seem to be alike in that we don't like the spotlight and friendly.  However I haven't mastered the art of making people feel comfortable around me because I get so nervous that it makes others nervous...or I'll do something out of nervousness that I probably shouldn't have done.

I wonder how they choose one over the other when it's 50-50.

I'm kinda jealous.  :-\  Seriously, though. And I can definitely agree with Bishop2 and I having the same type, especially in light of the "break down."  He's farrrrr more extraverted than I (I think he had a 93/7% split), but other than that, we tend to think and behave a lot alike.

I wub my brudda!!!!

My personality type said that I should pursue a career in business, management, accounting, etc. At first I wanted to be an accountant, but then in the middle of school I was hating it, so I switched.

I didn't see nothing on there about being a teacher, but that's what I'm getting a degree in right now. Maybe I'm pursuing the wrong career and shouldn't have switched from accounting? Who knows. :-\

I don't recall seeing anything on my profile about what kinds of careers I should (have) pursue(d).  I did read something about changing careers often, which is not completely untrue.  For many years, I've been trying to decide whether I want to go to law school or get an MBA in HR.  Recently, I added a third option to the mix (M.Div.), which just made it even worse.  :-\

I can see myself now... 70 years old, still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up... lol.
