Sorry Losty - here I am. Changing back now

Gobbledigook · 12/03/2007 12:07

God I've done this test so many times! Been a while though so might have another go. I can usually predict what I'm going to be - I know myself quite well

LilRedWG · 12/03/2007 12:07

Am back!

Gobbledigook · 12/03/2007 12:08

GuardianofMumsnet · 12/03/2007 12:23

Oh stressteddy - how did you get into being a Myers-Briggs trainer ??

I would so like to get into that side of things !

stressteddy · 12/03/2007 12:28

Hi guardian - it's part of my job to do this - but I have to say Myers-Briggs is soooo the best bit! Anyone can do training to become a trainer though. Look for opp on www. I'm sorry I am not techie enough to give a link!

ESFP

People-oriented and fun-loving, they make things more fun for others by their enjoyment. Living for the moment, they love new experiences. They dislike theory and impersonal analysis. Interested in serving others. Likely to be the center of attention in social situations. Well-developed common sense and practical ability.

not sure about the centre of attention bit, but the rest is pretty much spot on !

thanks losty , very interesting !

how funny - I did this test years ago (ENTJ) but didn;t remember the soundbite "Assertive and outspoken - they are driven to lead" PMSL I think that translates as "boosy pain in arse"

boosy or bossy sue?? lol

I'm an ESFJ - I've never done the test before, but it is very accurate. And it's nice to know that I'm (finally) in the right career for my type. I'm a very touchy feely sensitive type apparently

doggiesayswoof · 12/03/2007 20:23

Did this at work a few years ago, pre-dd. I was INTJ, then when I took the test again 6 months ago I came out INFJ. I like to think that having dd has changed the 'thinking' to 'feeling' and made me more empathetic...or it might all be bollocks

suejonez I work with an ENTJ - we call her 'lady boss' but only in jest
