72 Questions

Last summer, I took the Jung-Myers-Briggs test and after answering 70 or so questions it was determined that my personality type was INTJ. Interesting to read, but the summary didn't seem to describe me very well. It seemed at the time, that these tests were not unlike horoscopes. Very entertaining, but only partially true and I've never been the type to believe my lovelife or career is dictated by Venus or some other celestial body.

I was bored and to pass the last few minutes of my workday, I took the Jung test again, curious to see what my personality type might be this time. I had certainly made some significant transitions since August, feeling lately, that I have been turning slowly back into my chipper old self. Would the test reflect the difference? It's all in good fun, why not?

I was pretty pleased, actually quite delighted with the results.

"INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities."

Even in the most depressing state, I have a very colorful imagination to take refuge in. Bryn, a horoscope enthusiast, would say that as a Cancer, I retreat into my happy little shell. A nice parallel and I can agree. I still uphold that no individual can be summed up by 72 questions, but I admit that I'd gladly throw in my lot with Anne of Green Gables and Bastian of the Never-ending Story any day of the year!

Yes, I agree. We often answer the questions to relate more to who we think we want to be more than who we actually are...it's alway fun to get other people to take these tests for you...either a sibling, long-time friend, or anyone else who has known you for a long time...and see if their results reflect your own...although, in this case, yes, the new results do fit you!
