So, I'm curious

(and procrastinating on this album design--I just can't get motivated about it today)

If you enjoy your photography, I'm thinking you've got to have a bit of the creative gene in you... I'm wondering if our fabulous career attracts certain personality types. And what those common strengths and weaknesses might be.

I had taken the Briggs/Myer test a few years ago, and forgotten all about it. But after a conversation earlier today, I decided to take it again. The profile was so accurate it's scary.

What are you? Take the test here... http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm

You'll probably have to do a google search for a full profile once you've got your type.
Let us know if you agree with the profile and throw out a few distinquishing characteristics. Have fun!

I'm an ENFP

An inspirer. I live in a world of possibilities, like people, must live authentically, see tons of potential in many areas of life. But I tend to become bored easily, don't work well in a schedule, and have issues with follow through... guess that means I should get back to that album design huh?

Your turn.

I was in Jr High, and in college, and still am an
ENTP

mine sometimes comes up as ENTP, and sometimes as ENTJ. I think the last was ENTP though.

edit: i just took it again, and this time i'm ENFP.

well at least we know i'm an extrovert.

I'm an ISFJ.

INFJ -Most times I take it, this is the result....My wife agrees and thinks this is spot on.

ENTJ - whatever that is......



apparently I'm a short french general or maggie thatcher........awesomeness.

Why isn't there an option for "Cookie Eater?"

I'm an ISTP.

I love the Myers Brigg type indicator. My dad used to administer it to business's and then consult with the management on how to best utilize their employees strengths and motivations.

He turned me onto it in 7th grade, and so it has always been a part of my life and is one of my most used "tools" for understanding myself and others.

Definitely one of the keys lenses of how I look at the world. I highly recommend the book "Gifts Differing" by Isabel Briggs Myers.

So glad to see you bring this up and I'm psyched to see what everyone posts up!!

I always come out different...
I have always been a _NT_. Most of my life I've come up as an ENTJ/P, but today I came up as an ENFP. Weird.

ENFP

INTP (thinker)

but I got bored half way through and just answered yes to everything... so it might be off.

ESFJ- I read what it had to say and thats TOTALLY not me. I'll have to take it again...

ENFP (AKA The Champion Idealist!!!) Woot woot!

"For Champions, nothing occurs which does not have some deep ethical significance, and this, coupled with their uncanny sense of the motivations of others, gives them a talent for seeing life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil."

I see DRAMAAAAAA! (Seriously not...but sometimes...)

Always been ISFP...the artist. Good thing I'm in the right profession. lol

I'm apparently an artistic hermit... INFP

ENFP We are such a small percentage of the population and yet look how many of us have fallen into the same passion!?! Cool huh? birds of a feather and all that...

ESFJ here...My hubby and I took a class together and the teacher was firm believer in knowing your Myers Briggs.

I'm with you, Carrie. I've always tested as an INFP. The last time I took it, though, I tied with P and J, and in that case, the tie goes to the P.

It must be noted, though, that for people who test strongly to one side or the other, this can be a great tool. However, for those who score mostly in the middle, it doesn't really mean anything and isn't a good test for them. There are other tests for those types, but they're not as easy to administer, score, take, and aren't as fun.

ISFJ (nurturer)

Famous ISFJs include Mother Teresa, Johnny Carson and Jerry Seinfeld...

That would make two of us. We can be hermits together.

hermits........together.......? hahahaha good one! you're too funny!!


Melody the performer......NNNnoooooooo!!! surely not - I would have never guessed.


Is this some sort of American thing you do in school - I've never heard of it before, although I have done the whole 'what box shall we in management put YOU into' test things before...... it always annoyed me, I'm more than just a roleplaying gimp in your sideshow of life Mr Biggertonpants!!!


or maybe that's the fieldmarshall/executive coming out in me.........

i took the test twice in highschool, in my college psych 101, in college Computer-Human Interaction, at two different leadership conferences for work, and again when i started my masters when we were learning about team personality types.

it's pretty common.

but the reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaal OSP experiment would be if everyone took the 500 question purity test. MWUHAHA! (i'm kidding, no one actually post that here! melody, I said NO!)

You wouldn't have brought it up if you didn't want to do it! Wanna know my score? You need to learn how to read you silly fruit. I'm an inspirer There's just no telling what I may inspire you to do

whoops LOL - it's the accent, it throws me every time!!!

You have to slow down when you type for us sloooower members of the board

Today...
this hour...
this minute...
this second...

I'm ESFP.

I've been borderline on every category except the P. I'm always a P. (Make your own joke now.)

Mrs. W. is an INTP...an art therapist who has ALWAYS been the same on the M-B.

(Hmmm...Dan married a therapist...make your own joke now.)

The amazing thing...I'm "slightly" extroverted. Whooda thunk it? (Make your own joke now.)

****************************************************************************

Now on to the things that ARE NOT really surprises... (according to Mrs. W...)

My Jung career choices say that I should be...

-- Acting and Performances
-- Dressmaking & Design (yeah, baby!)
-- Advertising
-- Public Relations Specialist
-- Sales/Marketing Specialist

And why am I so unfulfilled doing accounting software support with the really big beer company??? LOL

I'm an INFJ (protector)....


Hence my close similarities to Peter Parker/Spiderman.......> OLD BLOG POST

Plus with my "spider sense" this totally makes sense to me.

ENTJ

I guess that's appropriate. I have Associate Degrees in both Marketing/ Management and in Accounting. And I am working on my BBA in Accounting with a minor in Management.

Wait... why am I a photographer? Oh yeah, my wife is and I love her so much and she got me hooked and now I almost eat, sleep and breath it. But it's fun, ehh? It's nice for someone like me to actually have a creative outlet!

Sarge!
(Phillip V)

Looks like I am an ENFJ.

They say I'm nice. Also that:
Okay, due to my mad skills, I can manipulate others. However, it is not my primay intention when I do it. Cooool. I'm a Jedi!

-Christobal

ENFP. It sounds like it is all good. I want to hear about my weaknesses.

Apparently im a Protective Thinking Scientist

jen - i don't really think it's about strengths or weaknesses - rather a personality spectrum. you may see one 'type' as better than the other, but that would be your perception, not the goal of the test. (does that make sense)

it's all good - you are right!

(i'm a protector - councelor-idealist)

funny, i realy on data so much, but i still go with my gut.

INFP- Healer

Rational, Idealist, Artisan, Gaurdian

ISTJ
This puts me in the company of politicians and lawyers????
I'm so disappouinted!
Perhaps I biased this because I took this quiz at work. I'll try this again later, while in my artistic mode at home.

ENFP - I got this one while working for someone else... it was funny as it said I hated schedules.

ENFP and its pretty bang on, even though while taking it I find myself saying outloud "uh.. SOMEtimes"
Angela

That's a PLAN!!

>> INFJ

Apparently, I'm rare. Okay... please don't kill me, I'm endangered

i'm a ESFP...me?? performer??? PSHAW!!!!!

INFJ Counselor Idealist
Protector
private, sensitive, quiet leaders, hard to get to know, doer & dreamer

They say only 2% of population are this, but on the poll it is the highest in responses so far at 13.

Mine was dead on. Almost every detail.

Although I would never want to be a librarian. No offense. Are librarians "doers"?

It does say design is a great career choice, and I can't wait to do an album soon.

ESTP

I'd say the doer part is accurate...

And yes, I'm definitely Extraverted, and a bit of the other stuff it said...

Now to read more about who I am!!! Yes... I'm finally figuring myself out!!

How interesting!

I'm an ENFJ according to the test.

• 89% Extraverted
  
  
• 50% Intuitive
• 62% Feeling
• 11% Judging

• very expressed extravert
• moderately expressed intuitive personality
• distinctively expressed feeling personality
• slightly expressed judging personality

ENFJ for me.

ENFP

I was an HR advisor, and have seen Myers-Briggs in amazing action too many times to count.

There is a great exercise when you group people by type and then plan a vacation together. Very funny, very illuminating .

Thanks fo the neat thread!

ENFJ is moi!

Me, too! I took it in high school and it hasn't changed. The description is pretty much spot-on (and there are A LOT of us protectors on OSP! That's 'cause this is the nice forum )

I am an ENFJ My husband agrees. I am a giver.

I am a good listener and passionate towards others. It seems to work for me!

It's weird how few of us actually come up as artists...

Me too, just took the test.

ISFJ here as well.

I am an ENFP as well. I am being told by my other half that it is 100% me.
