Personality Test

My Personality Test Result

This test is based on Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers typological approach to personality. Taking up this test also excites me. Even though I knew myself, I cannot deny the fact that I want to discover something new about my personality. “ENFJ” – this is the result I’ve got after taking up the examination. This result is equivalent to a MENTOR according to the site (http://www.mypersonality.info/personality-types/).

An article from http://www.personalitytest.net/types/descriptions/enfj.htm discussed that ENFJs optimistic outlook toward social relationships is a burden to them at times. When external conflicts affect a group, the ENFJ is likely to assume responsibility. Their ability to empathize then turns into a liability. ENFJs, when over-identifying with the pain of others, will loose sight of their own concerns and interests. Their idealism can also be the cause of some distress when their assumptions are unable to weather the winds of reality. Fantasized relationships rarely translate into reality and even the best charismatic leader encounters unexpected resistance. Like all NFs, ENFJs will disassociate themselves from stressful situations in an effort to protect their sense of well-being and togetherness. The ENFJ, however, will repress the unpleasant side of life only to have to face it later in an intensified form when it explodes from its hiding place. It can manifest itself as fits of anger, sudden outbursts, or emotional explosions. Often the ENFJ's body will reflect pent-up stress by manifesting various physical symptoms that will erupt unexpectedly.

           

      According to a site http://www.personalitypage.com/html/ENFJ.html, portrait of ENFJ refers to a GIVER.  (Extraverted Feeling with Introverted Intuition).

This site talk about lots of various characteristic of a ENFJ person. So, I just pick some characteristics that really describes me. I know that these characters describes who  am I. Here is the list for those characteristics mentioned:

- people-focused individuals

- live in the world of people possibilities

- They understand and care about people

- main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people

-  focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others

- make things happen for people

- They get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking

- avoid being alone   (This is true! :) )

- fill their lives with activities involving other people (Like!)

- they're likely to interact with others on their own level, in a chameleon-like manner. For me, this means that I can easily mingle with other people. ("madaling makisalanuha sa iba")

- have definite values and opinions which they're able to express clearly and succinctly

- expressive and open (Sometimes, i love to share my ideas and opinions)

- People love ENFJs. They are fun to be with, and truly understand and love people. They are typically very straight-forward and honest (super Agree! I actually smile when I read these sentences. )

- They are usually good at anything which captures their interest.

- have a tendency to be fussy

- They get excited about possibilities for the future

- basically happy people when they can use that gift to help others

- they enjoy their plans more than their achievements

I also listed below some of the characteristics of a ENFJ person that I'm not sure if I possess that characteristic or not. Here are those characteristics: 

- excellent people skills

- have a special talent for bringing out the best in others

- they have the ability to make people do exactly what they want them to do

- use their power over people to manipulate them

- tend to define their life's direction and priorities according to other people's needs, and may not be aware of their own needs

- their strongest interest lies in being a catalyst of change in other people

- They are generally bright, full of potential, energetic and fast-paced.

- do very well in situations where they can inspire and lead others

- but may become easily bored and restless with the present

- They're very loyal and trustworthy once involved in a relationship.

          While reading these information, I didn't expect that a ENFJ person like me has a special talent of bringing out the best in others. I'm also surprise that ENFJ can do very well in situation where they can inspire and lead others and they are generally bright, full of potential, energetic and fast-paced.
