What Personality are you?

Are you an obsessive? Are you shy? Are you emotional? Do you react to feelings or think things through before you react?

The question here is who are you? What type are you? How do you see the world? How do you react to the world?

Take the Myers Briggs test sometime (http://www.kisa.ca/personality/)... Find out your personality type.

I am an ENFJ (Extroverted Intuitive Feeling Judging)

Myers Briggs describes my personality as "enthusiastic and energetic, involved with the people and events around them. Take interest in others and are easy to relate to. Expressive, communicate freely and openly, convincing and self-revealing. Reliable, responsible and persistent. Comes to quick conclusions and sometime as deciding too quickly before considering sufficient options"

When I first read mine, I was blown away. Hey that’s me dead on. I behave that way absolutely. (But there are times when I don't behave that way...I could be shy, depressed and anti-social at times!) Its still fun to figure out our ‘default’ personality (according to Myers Briggs anyway)

What do you think guys? Am I what Myers Briggs says I am, could I be different? What about you? Here’s another question… Which famous person has your personality type? Mine is Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Johnny Depp, and Abraham Lincoln. Awesome!!!

well am an INFP(introverted intutive feeling perceiving)

and my matches r Princess Diana,Shakespeare,Mary-Mother of Jesus,Neil Diamond,Oscar Wilde to name a few...

According to Myers-Briggs, "INFPs focus much of their energy on an inner world dominated by intense feeling and deeply held ethics. They seek an external life that is in keeping with these values. Loyal to the people and causes important to them, they can quickly spot opportunities to implement their ideals. They are curious to understand those around them, and so are accepting and flexible except when their values are threatened."

well...!!! am really happy with my result...!!!!

apppu!

My personality type is ENFP - Extrovert, Intuitive, Feeling and Perceiving.

People of this type tend to be: enthusiastic, talkative, and outgoing; clever, curious, and playful; deeply caring, sensitive, and gentle; highly innovative, creative, optimistic, and unique; adaptable and resourceful but sometimes disorganized.
The most important thing to ENFPs is freedom to see possibilities, make connections, and be with a variety of people

famous personalities are: Robin Williams, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Bill Cosby and Sandra Bullocks

P.S: I actually read this on some site "ENFP's are happiest in relationships with Tom Cruise"..yay!..i really dont mind that..lol

so there is only a difference of one character between your type and mine (ENFJ and ENFP)..and I think its the right difference..

Judgers often:

Make most decisions pretty easily (definitely u)
Pay attention to time & are prompt
Want things decided
See the need for most rules
Like to make & stick with plans
Find comfort in schedules

Perceivers often:

May have difficulty making decisions (definitely me..lol)
Are less aware of time & run late
Want to keep their options open
Like to keep plans flexible
Want the freedom to be spontaneous

Rashi...

Sounds exactly like you! I am not suprised that we are so similar. Yet one thing different makes our personalities so different.

BTW.. My type is better than urs ;) J's are better than P's since they come before in the alphabets anyway!!!!
