Another Meyers Briggs Test

One more thing today .... I am endlessly fascinated with Meyers Briggs and enneagram tests. Have been for years. I take many of them. I sometimes find the questions very hard to answer - I almost think you'd have to have a physcological evaluation of yourself by someone qualified to even know how to answer some of them. But I found a different site last evening - the questions are much easier to relate to - I thought it gave a very good assessment.

If you love these tests, give this one a try - it is free although you do have to set up an account with a password.

I am an INTP although I come out equal on the introvert/extrovert category so could be an ENTP. I know deep down I am an introvert with occasional flashes of extrovert. I find the extrovert side very wearing, I also find if I don't occasionally act out the extrovert side, I start craving the social whirl.

Blogging and Myers-Briggs Types

I was quite interested in <a href="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/">Dave Pollard's</a> post on <a href="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/2004/04/03.html#a686">blogging and the Myer-Briggs personality types</a>. I decided to follow his link and take the test again - my results haven't changed. I'm fascinated with these tests - I've noticed that a lot of us bloggers seem to be. Dave's link leads to a site containing many tests - enough to keep us all busy for a while.

Social Values Quiz

This is a <a href="http://fireandice.environics.net/surveys/fireandice/main/fireandice.asp?surveyid=1">fascinating quiz </a>..... it assesses social values and places the results on a grid. The interesting thing is, it has been used to compare the social values of Canadians and Americans. I am not surprised to see that the research indicates lots of differences.

There is another interesting post (where I found the link) that talks about the research and the results <a href="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/2003/12/03.html#a541">here</a>.
The title of this post - "Are you a Closet Canadian?"

My results -I'm right in the Canadian quadrant - which is the 'Idealism and Autonomy' area. I knew this before taking the quiz.

Its interesting that culturally we have so much in common with our neighbours to the south, yet, generally speaking, our values really are different. Recent events show this ..... it bears thinking about.

Of course these are generalizations - there are bound to be results right across the board.

One further point - the author makes the point that regardless of scores etc. - he still loves his neighbours to the south - I would like to add my agreement with this !

What's your Spiritual Type

Here is a group of interesting <a href="http://www.beliefnet.com/features/quiz/index.html">quizzes</a> dealing with religion and spiritual matters.

Enneagram & Myers-Briggs Tests

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.

Career Personality Quiz

This test is from <a href="http://www.princetonreview.com/cte/quiz/career_quiz1.asp">'The Princeton Review' </a>and is focused on Career/Work related traits. I found it really interesting even if I was surprised by my result. I'll have to mull it over.
