I came back an ISTJ, which I think is 75% accurate. I would tend to say that I am more a ESTJ, and other times I have taken this test that is what my results have come back as. <br />I might dare to say that this may be because I am starting to become more introverted, because I am having to...I can't think of too many people that I've met since I moved that I can be with often enough to get my 'flow of energy' from...therefore, I'm learning to get it from focusing inwards.<br />Concrete, rational and logical...are words that appear in both the ISTJ and ESTJ portraits. Those three words describe me well, if I can't see how something will work I'm probably not going to try it.<br />As I read more of both of the ISTJ and ESTJ portraits, I can not decide which one describes me more...because I see myself in both of them in many ways. <br />I guess I could say that I'm not sure which I am at this point, maybe a combination of both.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849987948906157002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34777316.post-33755339887158166012007-01-11T15:20:00.000-08:002007-01-11T15:20:00.000-08:00its funny - I'm INFP as well.its funny - I'm INFP as well.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206979106299888527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34777316.post-31558263054330279662007-01-11T14:16:00.000-08:002007-01-11T14:16:00.000-08:00Well, I can do the first part: I have taken this ...Well, I can do the first part: I have taken this stupid test 3 times over the last year. It always comes out the same.....INFP. Yes, I am an introvert. No big surprise there. Introverted kind of hinders me in ministry opportunities, but I am trying to push myself out of my box a bit.....we'll see what 2007 brings.<br />I am intuitive. I thought I was more of a sensor, but every time I take the darn test - except once, it came back intuitive. Maybe it is that I used to be a sensor, and have changed over the last couple years. I have really gone through a lot of changes and this may just be the result of that. I still do appreciate facts and details. But maybe, unless it's critical for the well being of all, I have tended to soften some in this area. <br />And then, I am a feeler. Again, no surprise. My decisions are always based on how things affect others. How something will make them feel. I always seem to put myself in the other person shoes. And I will overextend myself for a person in need - especially my friends. Great gift, mercy is, but boundaries are difficult. I also tend, no, I also <i>definitely </i>avoid conflict. Conflict resolution is a skill I am truly working on - but it's hard. <br />I do have some elements of a judger in my personality. For example, I like to be on time. And I do make lists. But I don't follow through on anything.<br />I love to gather information. I love learning. I hate making decisions. I'll admit it. I hate deadlines too. And people telling me I HAVE to do something. I procrastinate. Hopefully some of you others will balance me out. It would be a pretty sad church if everyone were like me!<br /><br />So, with my mix of traits, which apparently only about 1% of people have, I find it hard to be a leader, or role model. I do tend to be self-sacrificing. I tend to be reserved. I tend to not have the ability to relax in most situations. But I do empathize well, I do love, and care, and hurt when others hurt. What can I do with this? Be a mentor? Be a listener? Be an encourager? Cry with those that hurt. Help those it is in my ability to help. And always pray.<br /><br />Feel free to tell me what you see/think. :)gerbmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334242165831708434noreply@blogger.com
