All About Me

I found this at my friend Kimmy's and thought it would be fun to do. I wasn't sure initially if I would be sharing my results, but since they turned out close to what I expected, then sharing I am! ;)

I haven't tried this, but apparently, you can take the tests over again. Might be fun to do that and see if the results are the same or very similar. No cheating on my part cuz Lord knows I don't remember well enough to cheat anymore!!

ENFJ - The "Mentor" Myers-Briggs Personality Types
ENFJs are externally focused, introspective, altruistic, positive and have excellent people skills. They place utmost importance on helping others grow. They are warm and have a natural desire to be supportive and encouraging. Being charismatic and possessing excellent language skills, they do well in leadership roles. ENFJs strive to enhance the lives of their human brethren.

Preferences
Extroverted
iNtuition
Feeling
Judging

**At first, I wasn't sure I liked the "judging" aspect. However, if you go over and look at the definition, it is truly more me than "perceiving". The "sensing" vs. "iNtuition" is a little harder. Maybe I am more of my results, but I do feel that I utilize several of the "sensing" qualities. There is no question that I am "extroverted" and "feeling".

Okay, Nathan and I had to do this in our premarital counseling. I wonder if we would still turn out the same way? I was an ISFJ and he was total opposite, ENTP. How funny is that? Maybe if I have some spare time I will take the test . . .
