"Teacher Idealist"

Apparently I come out as eNFj on those personality sorter dealies. Surprise, surprise.

ChasingMoksha left this comment, but Blogger is being tempermental and won't let me publish it, so I'm sticking it in myself
"Have you ever had this test professionally done? Ironically I have three times. The first time in 1993 I was a ENTJ, then again in 1997, I was a INTJ, I guess I lost the extrovert edge. However no matter, because changing the E to an I freed me from any control tendecies. I did it again last year and I was still an INTJ. And I tried the quick blog one and it gave me the INTJ again. I had a friend in poetry who tested INFP and she would compliment my ability to think and judge, but in turn I appreciated her ability to be emotionally moved, which comes a little hard for me when someone is acting really stupid about something. Sorry, it is all about me. LOL!"

No, I've never had it done professionally, but I've done it a couple of times on-line and it always comes out the same.

When blogger rejected my comment, I gave up. Yet you received it. That is really weird. It happened at about three places yesterday.

Thanks.

I feel like an INFP, but I test as ENFP, and I see why that is actually more true of me. When others are encroaching too much on my space and time, I feel like an ENFJ, but I am not actually J.

The testers are always upset with my ENFP result. They want me to test as ENTP. They feel that since I am intelligent and behave rationally, I should not also be a feeling type.

It is in part because it makes you choose between these binaries that the 'science' behind this grid has been criticized.

However, I think the grid does explain a lot - like, why some people seem to be so different from oneself. The S types, and especially the STs, seem to be on a completely different wiring system.
