Personalities
Everyone is different. We all have our own personalities. But we each have a lot in common too, sharing various traits in varying degrees that make up our whole character.
Some people are more extroverted than others. Some like to be spontaneous, while to others, surprises are frightening. They prefer everything planned and predictable. Some people think with their heads and others, their hearts.
It can be fun delving into your own or someone else’s personality.
One of the most famous personality classification systems is the Myers-Briggs 16 Personalities test.
It’s a fun self-test to take, even if it isn’t a genuinely scientific one, and you can learn an awful lot about yourself and why you are as you are by doing it.
The test attempts to assign four categories - introversion or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving - to a person’s personality. One letter from each category is taken to produce a four-letter test result, such as "INTJ" or "ESFP".
I learned a lot about myself and understood myself better after taking it.
I am an INFJ-A, the additional A standing for Assertive. The other variant is the INFJ-T, with T meaning turbulent.
As you can see I am extremely introverted - a natural hermit!! 😁
One commonly misunderstood thing about introverts is that they are antisocial. This isn’t true, we do like people, but we just find social occasions extremely energy sapping and our “people batteries” soon wear down!!
Small talk is hard work for us!!
But whatever your personality type, remember to just . . .
If you haven’t ever taken the Myers-Briggs test, try it now if you like. It is easy to do and doesn’t take long, and you can read more about your personality type in a profile when you get your result if you want as well.
And please share your result with us, if you like.
Like all such tests, it is very important that you answer as you genuinely feel/think and not what you think the answer should be.
For those who prefer a more fun personality test, have a try at one or more of these:
Which Mythical Creature Are You?
How would you describe your own personality? Are you introverted or extroverted?
And if you have any fun personality tests you want to share, please do!!
But whether you take any tests or not, let’s share some personality fun as well as our normal fun and friendly chat!!
