It seems I am always stumbling across more personality tests on the web - <a href="http://www.similarminds.com/personalitytests.html">this site </a>is interesting because it does Enneagram testing - there is one test that combines the enneagram and the meyer-briggs tests. Hmmm... interesting. I haven't done one that one yet but will. Years ago I bought a book on the enneagram and never was able to place myself in a category - no matter how hard I tried.
The tests are fun and it helps to take them with a grain of salt I think.
The one thing I did gain from taking a meyers-briggs test - through their explanations I was able to see that everyone reacts differently to situations based on their personality. This helped me understand something that had happened not long before with one of my 'friends' - he told me because I did not react the same way he did when we were fighting, it meant I did not live up to his notion of what a friend is meant to be - I had somehow failed him. I understand my reactions necessarily will be different from his. Now I understand that his reaction to that fight speaks more about him than me.
I am finally willing to admit I am an ESFJ as much as I hate to!

Oh man, I was going to post about enneagrams and here you did. I have had a book recommended to me, Understanding the Enneagram by Riso and Hudson. I took their online test (http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/) and tied for a #2(helper) and #9(peacemaker). Talking to a counselor friend of mine, I have been affirmed as a 2. I forget what my MB came out to be. Borderline EI but more of an I. INFP or INFJ? I will go take it again, now I am curious.

Okay, this said I was an ENTJ. I must be in some kind of overanalytical mood because that isn't what I have gotten before. Maybe it is just the MBTI for the dominant personality in my set right now :) At least the N is the same.
