Now for some interpretation...

The only constant there was (E) Extroverted. Which is true. The rest of my scores were very nearly split down the middle meaning that I try and take in as much information on as many different planes as possible before arriving at any conclusions. It also seems I would like to be even more extroverted than I am.

And I seems I'm attracted to people who are more reserved than I am and other than that, I'm attracted to people who are comfortable with themselves and know who they are. Nothing wrong with that, eh? But, I guess I do enjoy the limelight. *grin*

The ENFP (Extraverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Percieving) is described as The Inspirer. ~ http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html

The ENFJ (Extraverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging) is described as The Giver. ~ http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFJ.html

Seems there are very few differences between these two personality types. They state that whatever I do, I do it with accordance to my personal belief system and that to do something that is outside of that system causes me great personal distress. (Which is true) It's an interesting read and quite accurate if I can say so myself.

It's seems I just want to dream bigger than I already am. Which is also true. It also says that for both the ENFP and the ENFJ that being a teacher, particularly a teacher working with young children (ie kindergarten age) is very appealling due to my desire for variety. Funny that this is what I'm studying in college (elementary school art teacher). However, there seems to be a small battle as to how I feel about routine. I see the importance of structure, of detail and I can be meticulous if nessicary however, being structured and routine and meticulous isn't a whole lot of fun. So, at least I understand what I'm at odds with and why.

Either way I go, with the ENFP or ENFJ, it makes mention to significant insights as to what makes the world work, what makes people tick...and I've always thought, as have my friends, that I truely do have a unique insight into the world and what motivates people. I've always attributed it to my desire to understand my own motivation and that through that knowledge I gained better understanding of the human race as a whole.

Confuscious said, "Know Thyself".

Seems that BEING an ENFP and WANTING to be an ENFJ gives me great capacity for and the desire to have stable, lifelong relationships with people, be it a friendship or something of a more intimate nature. Everything I am goes into my relationships, I try to be emotionally available as well as tangibly THERE for people when they need me. I've always been the sympathetic ear and strong shoulder people needed when they were down.

Most ENFPs will exhibit the following strengths with regards to relationships issues:

Good communication skills
Very perceptive about people's thought and motives
Motivational, inspirational; bring out the best in others
Warmly affectionate and affirming
Fun to be with - lively sense of humor, dramatic, energetic, optimistic
Strive for "win-win" situations
Driven to meet other's needs
Usually loyal and dedicated

Able to "move on" after a love relationship has failed (although they blame themselves)
Loyal and committed - they want lifelong relationships
Strive for "win-win" situations

It eerie how accurate these bullets are. Let me know if you take this, do any research on yourselves and what your own conclusions are. I'm interested to see what kinds of personalities I'm friends with. *smile*

So, in the end, I can't think of anything or anyone else I'd rather be than me. And that is about as good as it gets.
