As in the Jung, Briggs, Myers stuff?

My sister is currently loving it!

Incidentally, I'm an ENTJ apprently...

Oh and the wife is ISFP.

It's quite interesting stuff...

I love Myers Briggs. I'm an ISFJ.

ETA: I've actually tested as an INFJ a few times (I have taken the test so many times it's ridiculous... it's SO LONG!) and am almost always 49/51 on the S/N. I think S sounds more like me though. Barely.

I'm an INTJ and it's SO true It's also very rare for a woman--less than 1% of the female population are INTJ.

You are important and you matter. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. Your story matters. Your life matters. Always.

I've been reading more this morning- very interesting. Both the positive and negative characteristics seem fairly accurate... I can be a tad controlling!

I think it's easier to compare with others though, for example I can see my wife suits the ISFP tag. Weird.

When I was married, I always tested INTJ, but now that I'm not, I test ENTJ.

We did a personality test thing at work last month (Insights) where everyone is given a color (out of four) and a very detailed description. It was very accurate for almost everyone, and it's helped our team to communicate even more effectively. I'll do something, and a coworker will say "Oh, you are such a yellow!"

Me: BW, divorced, now fabulous and happy!

Married: 11 years, no kids

Woohoo for ENTJs ha.

My sister was like "it's because she's ISFP and I'd put money on you being ENTJ" - i didn't have a clue what she was on about!! Took the test and she was right.

I don't know the colour one but I'm going to have a go at socionics

INTJs get on with me apparently... But, I suppose being ENTJ... I'm obviously adorable

Type Myers Briggs personality test into Google and do one to get your type, it'll then tell you about you!!

I'm Extraversion, iNtuition, Thinking, Judging... ENTJ.

How they focus their attention or get their energy (extraversion or introversion)

How they perceive or take in information (sensing or intuition)

How they prefer to make decisions (thinking or feeling)

How they orient themselves to the external world (judgment or perception)

I am INFJ. Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging.

Apparently, this is the rarest personality with only like 3% of the population being this personality type.

Not sure if I believe in this stuff, but it does explain why I always feel like the odd one out in the crowd.
