Blogtember : A Bit of Personality

Day 5: Personality Test

Today's prompt was to take a short personality test and discuss the results.
Talk about fun and insightful! I think everyone should do this. 

My results were: ENFJ

Extravert (11%)  iNtuitive (12%) Feeling (50%) Judging (56%) 

Quizzes like these are always very intriguing to me and I love seeing the results.  Anything to do with why people are the way they are and psychology are right up my alley.
I have to say these results are pretty spot on.  

I do always think of cavets in my head when I'm answering the questions though and I wonder how that plays into the results.  Like, 'well that's true most of the time' or 'but if this was going on, then I may feel/respond differently'. For the most part, however, most of the questions from this test are pretty straightforward.

I think these results go hand in hand with my lifestyle and definitely my job. 

I get very excited presenting designs to clients and about the direction their specific job can take.  I quickly get very emotionally involved in them, the scope of their project and how well it could turn out.  My clients emotions and feelings about their home quickly come into play and are integral part to the design solution and creating a perfect plan for them. This all makes for a very exciting process. 

I think this following description is pretty spot on,

'ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously.'
I generally have about 74 things going on at once and find it really hard to not be multitasking.  But trust me, this has it's pros and cons.  My brain is constantly thinking and going and planning out my next step and to do list item.

The emotion description and putting others first is me as well.  I have an intense need to make sure that people are fed at all times.  If you come into our house, you will not go hungry, trust me.  I really love helping, feeding and serving others.  It makes me happy to know that friends, family and clients are well taken care of. 

I can quickly get tied up in other's emotions or situations.  Mister picks on me because I will immediately start tearing up if I see something sad on tv or vice versa, something crazy exciting/happy.  Solider homecomings, engagements, surprises, dogs....just go ahead and pass the tissues.
Lately it's been this commercial.

Other traits mentioned that coincide with ENFJ's are: organized, fast paced, gracious...I think these are all spot on.  I love for things to be organized and in their spot.  And I am not one to do things slowly (which isn't always a good thing :/ ).
The following sentence from this article is me to a T:

'ENFJs like for things to be well-organized, and will work hard at maintaining structure and resolving ambiguity. They have a tendency to be fussy, especially with their home environments.' 

Things are certainly not perfect 100% of the time but they do have their spots and I feel much calmer and at ease when they are in them.  Thankfully Mister is on board with this and we both love nothing more than a clean kitchen counter. 

You should take the same test HERE and I'd love to hear your results and what you think!
