I’ve been meaning to do a thread about this for a while: Myers-Briggs ?

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…

Just paid attention to my results, role is sentinel, type assertive consul. Obviously attention to detail not one of my strengths ?

Fanny, are you going to coral us into groups x.

Was that a humourous malapropism or a spelling mistake? smile

The Honorary Consul!

Aveline Tue 28-Jun-22 20:04:06

I'm a Consul. Not sure what to make of that!

Luckygirl3 Tue 28-Jun-22 19:56:28

Campaigner here.

Callistemon21 Tue 28-Jun-22 19:54:26

I should have put that in inverted commas!!

Adventurer, which, I think, describes my younger self rather than the self I am now.

Oh, don't listen to her - she's an Advocate!

it seems i am a defender and most of what i read was true, i knew a lot of it because it is very similar to my star sign of cancer.

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.

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

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.

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

The result I got was Mediator.

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?

supernanauna1 Tue 28-Jun-22 18:21:20

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

Elizabeth27 Tue 28-Jun-22 17:49:42

Advocate,seems accurate.

Iam64 Tue 28-Jun-22 17:47:49

Sorry meant to say thanks to FannyC, I’ve not done anything like this in years,
Speedy recovery fanny xx

icanhandthemback Tue 28-Jun-22 17:45:03

I am a Turbulent Adventurer! I'm not sure about that at all!

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

I’m an advocate. A lot is me.

Iam64 Tue 28-Jun-22 17:41:38

I’m a Mediator - this seems accurate ?
