Myers Personality Test
Instructions:
1. Open up something (like Notepad) and number it 1-70.
~ I find it easiest to have two windows open: Livejournal and Notepad, so I can read LJ while typing in Notepad.
2. Put down each of your answers, a or b. If you're stuck between both, just write both (I know it's sometimes hard to decide.) If neither of them appeal to you, say so (and maybe give me a reason why so I can help you.) If you don't know what a word means, check out dictionary.com.
~^__^
3. Post a comment in my journal and I'll get back to you ASAP with your four-letter personality type and a basic description of what you supposedly are like. Then we can talk about it!
I'm an ENFP: Extraverted/Expressive, Intuitive/Introspective, Feeling/Friendly, Perceiving/Probing person. I'm called the "Champion," or the motivator. ^__^
Supposedly, I believe in diplomacy, motivation, and altruism; I live for the future; I am empathetic, benevolent, and authentic; I believe in being enthusiastic, trusting my intuition, seeking identity, and aspiring to be a sage.
