Whats your "Meyers Briggs" personality type?

Dave442 · Oct 15, 2018

I also did this many years ago and I think it was INTJ. My wife is more like an ESFJ and it seems we balance out. I need everything precise and planned out, she will just wing it (I'm sure her view is more of her taking control of the situation and that I just can't make up my mind)

ESTJ, for what it's worth.

What is it worth?

Not much...

I didn't get past the first 25 or so and had two 'neither's and three 'both's! so that was enough of that!

I've never heard of this one and having been in education, well, practically my whole life, I should have at least run across it somewhere along the way. How does something that somebody came up with in the 1940's end up going around online now??

Besides looking it up I had to go look up Jung because, I don't know how long it's been since I last took an ed psych class! lol This has little meaning; I mean, I think you already know if you tend to be more introverted or extroverted (or either/both in different circumstances). Apparently as often as not if people take it again down the road they're likely to get a different letter combination. Which means, this is unreliable.

You just can't put much stock in this type thing. When I was still working as an EI Specialist if I got a new referral I'd look at the medical reports, any evaluations on development that had been done, information gained from the parents (since they know their child best), etc. You can't look at just one test result and use that as the be-all and end-all.

I love old movies from the '40s but I think we've learned some things since then. I'd save your money for something else other than giving it to whoever's selling this schlock.

This is like the big block of cheese. There was some inservice several years ago that our agency school staff did, but my dept. thankfully didn't. But being located in one of the schools, every school staff meeting they'd bring up that big block of cheese thing. I never did get what it was about and didn't really want to know! lol

This time of year there are usually insurance commercials with - two guys with a big block of cheese. That company seriously needs to make some new commercials.

It may be an opportunity to learn how to communicate with people, if that's what you want. I get the concept but if your management and have to micro manage your way into increasing an individuals performance then maybe you have already lost. Things could be in place to take the peoples emotion out of the equation in terms of production. I think as many things, there are "people variables". We should, if leaders, spouses, or managers, be able to listen. Problems are opportunities, just because a constant complaining employee is venting does not mean that their rant is not relevant. We should embrace this as opportunity. I think this test or concept is non productive and causes companies to spin there wheels. As a husband, CEO, manger, clearly define your expectations as employers pr managers, treat them with respect, measure their performance or production by eliminating emotion. Create a statistical measurement of performance. Good employees want to produce, perform, be rewarded. In terms of a husband, we could measure this as well. Do we, should we? I don't think so in general. People have always had problems communicating, nothing new. Current technology is making it even more challenging

ENJT is what the wildly unreliable looking website I just found said.

Edit: After reading the description, I’m thinking a more thorough test would read differently.

F that!

I've taken these tests a few times for various leadership/instructor courses and always show as ENTJ.

I can easily understand how I fall into that category.

Libra.

I really should take it. I start, then get bored about 15 minutes into it and go do something else.

I’m a fairly strong ISTJ my wife is almost equally strong in the opposite except for sharing the J with me (she’s an ENFJ).

@justjazzy, from what I know of you, I would say you’re a J but you can vacillate between the two if you’re close. I think I read that you can sway up to 3 points from your normal value depending on the situation.

As far as your planning for a trip question, you should treat each question as what would feel most natural. So if you would naturally do something one way but circumstances usually prevent it, it doesn’t change your natural bent.
