Guess what? I finally took the Myers-Briggs online, and the verdict is that I’m an ENFJ. Now, I was actually supposed to take this as part of the roommate matching system for high school, but somehow, my copy of the test got lost in the mail and never reached me. So I don’t know how they matched me up with Heidi, but we happily cohabitated for 2 years without too much ado.

So now, I can’t decide if this test is any good. Some of the descriptions seem surprisingly accurate, although the test itself appears rather repetitive, so I’m not sure how much I trust the results.

Here are some excerpts:

ENFJs are people-focused individuals. More so than any other type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people, and have a special talent for bringing out the best in others. ENFJ’s main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people.
…
In the work place, ENFJs do well in positions where they deal with people. They are naturals for the social committee. Their uncanny ability to understand people and say just what needs to be said to make them happy makes them naturals for counseling. They enjoy being the center of attention, and do very well in situations where they can inspire and lead others, such as teaching.
…
ENFJs have a strong need for close, intimate relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort in creating and maintaining these relationships. They’re very loyal and trustworthy once involved in a relationship.

So, besides the excessive use of the word “people,” what’s the verdict, Brilliant or Baloney? If you know me, how accurate do you think this is? And if you’ve taken the test yourself, what have your experiences been? I’m so curious!

By the way, this reminds me of when OkCupid told me that I was a Sonnet… Although, I think OkCupid has better illustrations.

In other news, WaMu sent me a pre-approved credit card offer, with a $30,000 credit line. Hmmm, with that little bundle of cash, I could put a downpayment on a house. Or buy lots of chocolate at the Lindt store.
