Myers Briggs Personality Indicator

I took this oh-so-insightful test this morning. Again. It seems I went through a phase when I was in high school/college/seminary when I took this test at least yearly.  It's been a few, and I'm pretty bored today, so I decided to try again.

My results are...INFJ, meaning I am a little bit introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging.  This what the website had to say about this:

I have to say, this test was scarily accurate.  Although I tend to hover toward the middle of all indicators (except judging, that was 83%), I certainly have tendencies that are easily identifiable by those who know me at all.

For example, I thrive on orderliness.  I like to know what's coming my way, and get agitated when things instantly change.  This is not to say that I get into a crazy frenzy, or I wouldn't make a very good teacher.  In settings where I expect change, like teaching, I handle it well.  When I expect things to stay the same, I don't handle that change so well.  I have learned to keep it under control externally, but inside my insides are churning.

Another example, I am amazingly intuitive.  I have gut feelings fairly often, and they are almost always right.  I often "just know" when harm is coming someone's way, and am often right about this, as well.  Because I am intuitive, I sometimes come across as a know-it-all, which can cause problems with others.  As a result, I tend to keep my perceptions to myself, until asked to share. You're welcome :)

In addition to my intuition for events, I am usually very good at reading people.  Sometimes this makes people uncomfortable because I can "pick out" that thing they were trying to hide from the outside world.  On the other hand, when they realize they've been "found out," they often become more open to sharing, which they find helpful

The test results also indicate I can be a bit stubborn, which I most certainly am not! Insert crossed arms and pouty face. Okay, I can be.  This annoys even myself sometimes. At the same time I am easy going, as evidenced by my lack of having injured any of those 65 lovely and angelic middle school students that enter my classroom every day.

So, there you have it.  Serious insight about who I am.  Maybe this will help y'all understand what makes me the curious, eccentric, and interesting woman that I am.  If that is all possible to understand.
