Hello!
So no time like the present…
The Myers-Briggs Personality Test; otherwise known as 16 Personality Types.
I first did it several years ago.
It’s very interesting (well, I think so!)
Here is the link…

Thanks for that link Fanny Cornforth It was fun. I'm a mediator too, INFP-T Mostly correct.

I’m a Protagonist according to the test. I didn’t have to think about the answers, I don’t know whether it’s good or bad because I give myself a hard time on occasion. . Sometimes I wish I couldn't be bothered and was more laid back.

I am an introverted.turbulent architect, no surprise about being introverted!

Greyduster Tue 28-Jun-22 17:18:39

I’m an introverted advocate! I’ve never ever thought of myself as introverted!

MrsKen33 Tue 28-Jun-22 17:24:46

Fanny the legitimate one?

Summerlove Tue 28-Jun-22 17:28:28

this test says INFP, but a more detailed one done for work about 20 years ago had me at INTJ

Interesting how we change.

Im sure I am complex fanny in many ways I m very shy and lacking in confidence but in some situations I can take charge and be very confident I could see where they could get organiser but entertainer, no not at all
I m not too keen on parties that’s one area I am shy in
I don’t have any attributes like singing dancing acting NONE
I don’t do dinner parties or anything remotely like that I live alone so not exactly the life and soul
So how could I entertain ?
I did answer as honestly as possible

I’m a Mediator - this seems accurate ?

25Avalon Tue 28-Jun-22 17:44:07

I’m an advocate. A lot is me.

Seems I'm the only Virtuoso on here. Billy No Mates that's me. Oh dear.

grannyqueenie Tue 28-Jun-22 18:30:36

I’m a “defender” and the characteristics are scarily true to life! I did a much more detailed Myers Briggs thing in the early 90s. It seems I’ve not changed much since then, other than being slightly more of a an introvert nowadays, I’m not sure if it’s a positive thing or not?

StarDreamer Tue 28-Jun-22 18:31:28

The result I got was Mediator.

grannydarkhair Tue 28-Jun-22 18:49:44

I’m a Turbulent Logician, and I have to admit that a lot of what it said about them is absolutely spot-on for me.

downtoearth Tue 28-Jun-22 18:51:32

Adventurer,31% extrovert,61% introvert,just about sums me up .

I have been reading what it has to say.

I feel quite flattered actually.

It does seem to sum me up.

When I did the test years ago, we were asked to discuss the whole concept of the test, after having been given a talk about the four factors concept.

I expressed wondering how it could/would work in that, in particular, I knew that I would be entirely capable of understanding the legal rules of dismissal of an employee and entirely capable of analysing that due to his persistent sickness that I could terminate his employment, yet I also knew that, notwithstanding that, I would not dismiss him, I just wouldn't, because I would feel that that was a not right thing to do.

In the event, while for all the other factors for me, and all of the factors for everybody else in the group, values were mostly around two-thirds one eay and one-third the other, for that factor for me it was almost exactly 50% each way. I was amazed, as it seemed to encapsulate exactly my personality.
