Title: What are you like?
Post by: AndrewT on October 15, 2008, 01:00:38 PM
Don't think we've done this before, but, as I'm having an introspective kind of day, why not have a go at a Myers-Briggs personality test?

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm

This breaks the population up into 16 different personality types, and I've found it's very accurate for me anyway, and others have found it quite enlightening as well. Only takes 5 minutes to do, and try to go with your gut instinct on answers, rather than over think things too much.

After you're done, you can read more about the types here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers_briggs#Type_dynamics_and_development (click on the links in the box on the right to read more about the one you came out as).

Your Type is ENFP

Extraverted   Intuitive   Feeling   Perceiving
Strength of the preferences %
78   50   62   44

ENFPs are initiators of change, keenly perceptive of possibilities. They energize and stimulate others through their contagious enthusiasm. They prefer the start-up phase of a project or relationship, and are tireless in the pursuit of new-found interests. ENFPs are able to anticipate the needs of others and to offer them needed help and appreciation. They bring zest, joy, liveliness, and fun to all aspects of their lives. They are at their best in situations that are fluid and changing, and that allow them to express their creativity and use their charisma. They tend to idealize people, and can be disappointed when reality fails to fulfill their expectations. They are easily frustrated if a project requires a great deal of follow-up or attention to detail.

Champions delight in novelty. They are optimistic, enthusiastic, and vivacious, craving expressions of strong emotion. 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. Attuned to possibilities, Champions scan their environment, probing the emotions, needs, and motivations of others. This sensitivity sometimes conflicts with their intense drive for personal authenticity. Spontaneous and personable, they attract others to their company.[6]

My understanding in this context is that this means you are a 'thinking' person rather than a 'feeling' person - but 1% means it's borderline.

Apparently so. From wikipedia

ENFJ type description by J. Butt and M.M. Heiss

This link for a description

I looked up my 'type' and what it means, etc.

I don't know if I'm any wiser/better/happier knowing though.  What can I do with it?  I guess if I was on one of those company 'away days' (where they give you a length of rope, a plastic crate, some card and a goat and you have to work out a way to transport the goat across a river) and they were putting teams together, I'd be better alongside some introvert-leaning types so that we make a well-balanced team.  Other than that... :dontask:

They're widely used to make a lot of money for occupational/business psychologists in pre-job screening (Level A/Level B testing) and I believe in them in principle. Some people clearly have a more creative bent and can dream up fancy plans but would probably be unsuitable in a humdrum rote type job, to give an example. In my opinion, they are also useful for partner selection. Hardly very romantic, but you do wonder wtf an ESTP/similar would ever want to be doing with an INXX.

I did the test for a work thing years ago.  Most of my colleagues were ISTJ's and it was considered that that was the most suitable personality type for the work I do.  No wonder I don't like it much!!

Possible Career Paths for the ENFP:


Consultant
Psychologist
Entrepreneur
Actor
Teacher
Counselor
Politician / Diplomat
Writer / Journalist
Television Reporter
Computer Programmer, Systems Analyst, or Computer Specialist
Scientist
Engineer

Myers-Briggs description
According to Myers-Briggs, ISFPs are peaceful, easygoing people who adopt a "live and let live" approach to life. They enjoy taking things at their own pace and tend to live in the moment. Although quiet, they are pleasant, considerate, and caring, devoted to the people in their lives. Though not inclined to debate or necessarily even air their views, their values are important to them.


Keirsey description
According to Keirsey, Composer Artisans are grounded in the here and now. They are extremely sensitive to their environment, attuned to the perceptions of their five senses even more than other sensing types are. They notice little variations in their physical world or in the people around them. They are very sensitive to balance and understand well what does or does not fit, whether in a work of art or any other aspect of their lives. ISFPs are highly conscious of their companions, but they prefer to allow others to direct their own lives. ISFPs tend to be emotionally well rounded and empathetic toward others.

"Where's the party?" ESFPs love people, excitement, telling stories and having fun. The spontaneous, impulsive nature of this type is almost always entertaining. And ESFPs love to entertain -- on stage, at work, and/or at home. Social gatherings are an energy boost to these "people" people.

SPs sometimes think and talk in more of a spider-web approach. Several of my ESFP friends jump from thought to thought in mid-sentence, touching here or there in a manner that's almost incoherent to the listener, but will eventually cover the waterfront by skipping on impulse from one piece of information to another. It's really quite fascinating.

ESFPs love to talk to people about people. Some of the most colorful storytellers are ESFPs. Their down-to-earth, often homespun wit reflects a mischievous benevolence.

Almost every ESFP loves to talk. Some can be identified by the twenty minute conversation required to ask or answer a simple factual question.

I pretty much lost faith in this test after a manager/team building thing a few years ago when the most senior manager apparently just about wet herself when the TEAM was as a whole ESsomethingsomething which apparently is the perfect manager i.e. anyone knowing that this was the goal answered the questions accordingly. 

I was an Isomething something something and there were some characteristics that seemed like "wow thats me" , but then I hadnt read all the other personality types maybe they had bits in them that would do the same - just like a magicians trick of some kind.

Myers-Briggs description

According to Myers-Briggs, ISFJs are interested in maintaining order and harmony in every aspect of their lives. They are steadfast and meticulous in handling their responsibilities. Although quiet, they are people-oriented and very observant. Not only do they remember details about others, but they observe and respect others’ feelings. Friends and family are likely to describe them as thoughtful and trustworthy.


Keirsey description

According to Keirsey, ISFJs, or "Protector Guardians", are most concerned with taking care of people by keeping them safe and secure. They are modest caretakers who do not demand credit or thanks for their efforts. But while they are essentially very compassionate—and in fact exercise more patience in dealing with the disabled than perhaps any other type—their shyness with strangers can lead others to misread them as standoffish. Only among friends and family may this quiet type feel comfortable speaking freely. ISFJs are serious people with a strong work ethic, not inclined to self-indulgence. They believe in being meticulous and thrifty. They work well alone. While they may enjoy taking care of others, they do not enjoy giving orders.

Design is on of the careers mentioned as suitable for ISFJs - and it's what I do for a living.

Characteristics of ESTPs

Myers-Briggs description
According to Myers-Briggs, ESTPs are hands-on learners who live in the moment, seeking the best in life, wanting to share it with their friends. The ESTP is open to situations, able to improvise to bring about desired results. They are active people who want to solve their problems rather than simply discuss them.


Keirsey description
According to Keirsey, ESTPs, or "Promoter Artisans", are the most adept among the types at manipulating other people. Promoting is the art of maneuvering others to one's position. Concrete in speech and utilitarian in action, they are smooth operators. The ESTP knows everyone who matters and everything there is to do because they are very resourceful, always knowing where the fun and action is. They like to indulge themselves in the finer things in life and to bring other people with them. Their goal in life is to sell themselves and their ideas to others. Dramatic and debonair, they are gifted at earning others' confidence.

According to Keirsey, based on observations of behavior, famous Promoters include John F. Kennedy, Teddy Roosevelt, Madonna, and Donald Trump.
