This personality test that we did is called the Myers-Briggs personality test and you can find a whole whack of information on it at www.personalitypathways.com.
There are four different categories and each are divided into two, in which you are one or the other. So, when you are finished you should have a four letter combination which is your "personality type."
The first two choices are Introvert and Extrovert, or "I" and "E". On the 70 question quiz we got, there were ten on introverts and extroverts and I answered 7 of them with an introvert tendency. Which, makes absolutely NO sense to all of my friends. Makes perfect sense to me though... I have always known I was an introvert, because I work well alone, I tend to think to myself, contemplate, don't need others to get by. But I also love to be an extrovert, which is mostly what my friends see in me. The bubbly, hyper, tell everything girl that loves to laugh and be crazy. Because when Mr Howe was explaining extrovert he said this person tells everything about their lives to all of their friends, gets their energy from other people. In some ways that suits me, and in others, it doesn't. I have always been an open person, which tends to be my extroverted side. I love to talk. But I love to be alone to regenerate and relax. I need my "me" time.
The next two choices are Sensing and Intuitive. I was very close with these. Out of 20 I chose 11 as intuitive or "N" and 9 as Sensing or "S". Mr Howe described this part of the personality as "how you gather information from the world". Sensing people use, hey, what do you know, their senses. They notice if the colour of a room has changed and if a person is wearing something different to what is usual and the like. Intuitive people use their gut instinct and view of a situation to gather information and understand things that are going on. I really think that the numbers I got in these categories fit because I can easily see myself leaning to one or the other in any given situation.
The third choice was between Thinker and Feeler, or "T" and "F". I was a definite feeler in this one. 15 to 5. In Mr Howe's explanation thinkers are the "black and white" type. They see things as right and wrong and that's that. When making decisions They often go into engineering careers and the like. Feelers are swayed by emotions when making decisions and in careers they would probably deal with people. Feelers make decisions with their hearts while Thinkers make decisions with logic.
And last but not least, judging and perceiving, "J" and "P". I was a DEFINITE judging personality in this one because it was 18 t0 2. heh. Judging people are detail oriented, like guidelines, organization, and often math. (teehee). They tend to be the people that will to the bulk of the work and make everything look good. Perceiving people like to be the managers of the world. They are the ideas people and will probably end up telling all of the judging people what to do.
All in all, I am slightly confused. I see some of everything in myself, although some is slightly more prominent. (Just slightly. ;)) Well, I guess we are all everything, no matter what. We have tendencies sometimes I'm thinking, and sometimes we want to and do go against those. And sometimes I think that this is just another personality test. We can never truly judge a person's personality by some questions, because we are all unique.
I'll leave you with the description of the personality combination I am:
"Without introverted intuitives, it is said that Israel would have had no prophets. Under deceptively conventional appearances lie perceptive minds that travel the breadth and depth of universal mysteries, contemplating its multilayered complexity, seeking the trends that will define the future. With time, clarity of vision comes. When it comes, they are propelled towards the vision and all their actions lead to it. They are perseverant behind a quiet exterior and will often come back with their vision long after everyone believes they have let it go.
What they see is so clear and obvious to them they are often surprised to find that others cannot see it as well. They may find it difficult to articulate the necessary steps towards implementation or to explain how each goal fits into the larger picture.
Their mind usually travels from the past to the future, seeking to fit a particular situation in a large context. It picks up patterns, symbols and images from different seemingly unrelated fields, identifies similarities and provides meaning. This can help solve problems by juxtaposing ideas, finding analogies or simply by rooting out the quintessential reality, discovering the origin in universal stories and human experiences, culling wisdom from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. Their mind naturally travels from the microcosm to the macrocosm.
They regularly have to face the difficulties of bringing dreams into reality. The time and effort it takes is always more than what their intuition initially suggested. They are determined, perseverant, inspired and often see things just around the corner, into the near or far future." - Danielle Poirier, www.rebeleagle.com, Rebel Eagle Productions.
