Myers-Briggs personality test
I just spent ten minutes checking out the Myers-Briggs Jung typology test and got a very interesting result. Way back in my senior year of high school, I took this test as a part of a workforce preparatory program (called the "Exodus program"). They asked us to remember our 4-letter code, and for whatever reason, I did remember it: ISTJ, for "introversion", "sensing", "thinking", and "judging". Back then, before the internet really took off, we took the test with pencil & paper, and we scored ourselves. So I don't remember the percentages for each category.
On a whim, I took the test again (73 binary questions) today. Wouldn't you know it, my letters are *exactly opposite* now: ENFP, for "extroversion", "iNtuition", "feeling", and "perception". My percentages are 22, 12, 69, 44, where a score of 0 would be exactly between two levels, and a score of 100 would be completely one and none the other. According to the webpage,
The first criterion defines the source and direction of energy expression for a person. The extravert has a source and direction of energy expression mainly in the external world while the introvert has a source of energy mainly in the internal world.I guess I have changed a LOT since high school, and the Jung-Myers-Briggs test helps quantify those changes.The second criterion defines the method of information perception by a person. Sensing means that a person believes mainly information he receives directly from the external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly information he receives from the internal or imaginative world.
The third criterion defines how the person processes information. Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he makes a decision based on emotion.
The fourth criterion defines how a person implements the information he has processed. Judging means that a person organizes all his life events and acts strictly according to his plans. Perceiving means that he is inclined to improvise and seek alternatives.

I took the test, and I'm ENFJ. However, my percentages are REALLY low: 1, 12, 38, 22. Does that mean I have no personality? Ha ha.
nice dude. it's not cheating to use a pic you didnt take. no way. hope things are treatin you well. talk to you soon. all is good here. everything is as it was when i talked to you last time ;) peace
i'm still an ISTJ. but tempered, for sure. i took the test again recently myself (first time was 4 years ago),` and at that point the explanation given defined me to a T. but now not so much, but i still score the same.
ok, i take it back (maybe). i took your test here, and got ESFJ, 1, 1, 25, 33. i really enjoy social settings, but am definitely an introvert in that i get energy from being alone. on so many of the questions i was borderline, just barely choosing one answer over another. i dunno about the F/T thing... interesting, for sure.
INFJ.
