1. Myers-Briggs personality test.

[tyedyeto]

9. So, I have to take tests now to figure out DUspeak?

I don't think so.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. I thought almost everybody had run into Myers-Briggs at one time or another.

It's everywhere -- not just DU.

[tyedyeto]

15. I guess I'm just not corporate enough to recognize the acronyms

[dysfunctional press]

31. never heard of it.

10. If you have been in the corporate world, there is no escaping Myers Briggs....

I've been with one company for 24 years and have been "tested" (or, "typed") at least a dozen times. It is supposed to help you better understand yourself and others you work with in terms of your preferences...in the right hands and right environment, it can be very helpful. Typically, it is used as a weapon by the powers that be so that they can weed out those that are different than they are.

ENFP here, by the way!

[stevedeshazer]

17. ENFP here ... three of us and two INFP's were fired within one year.

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. Wow....big job cuts happening where I work now - me and two of

my reports (one of which is an ENFP as well!) will be gone in a few months. After 24 years of survival, I've decided I am actually going to be happy to be out of there. I am just not cut out for the dog eat dog corporate BS world (though I did survive longer than I expected).

[Flying Dream Blues]

35. Another ENFP here...nt

[dysfunctional press]

32. which is why i've never heard of it...

i've always shunned that world- i want no part of it.

[hisownpetard]

13. The only one I recognized was WTF.

[tyedyeto]

16. Welcome to the 'real' world. ROFL

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. What? There's another INFP here?

Where? I thought we were an endangered breed.

If you've never been forced to take the test for an employer before...take a second to consider yourself lucky.

[spooked]

20. One right here...

hugggs

[Lone_Star_Dem]

21. Hi there!

I've been told we're the rarest of the Idealist. Nice to meet another of my "kind." :hi:

[Marie26]

22. Hey!

It's funny that INFPs are apparantly all over the Internet, yet I've never met another one in real life.

[spooked]

24. Yes, I've only met one other in "real" life too

the internet is a natural medium for us it seems...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

27. Hey back at you!

We're not as introverted online I guess. When I think about it I can feel like I'm getting my alone time while I'm talking to people on the internet. It's perfect for us!

:hi:

[catnhatnh]

18. If John Edwards does well up here tomorrow....

...I intend to get ETOH.

[Bill McBlueState]

23. What type are you

if you hate personality tests?

[theredpen]

29. I've found that INTP's are the most likely to declare personality metrics "bullshit" a priori

That's just my experience.

[Homer Wells]

25. INFJ here!

It's Not easy being INFJ.

:7

[theredpen]

28. No kidding

But you're a better person for it.

Q: How many INFJ's does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Does the light bulb really want to change?

[dysfunctional press]

36. apparently so am i...but i found a lot of the questions laughable.

like this one:

"Your actions are frequently influenced by emotions"

ummm...isn't that pretty much true of all humans, whether you're conscience of it or not?

[Steven_S]

38. I'm an INFJ too...

Not sure what it means but....

[Firespirit]

26. ENTP solidarity!

Any other T's here? The F's are taking over the thread! ;)

[TahitiNut]

34. ENxx here (50/50 on the T/F and P/J)

:hi:

[alfredo]

30. What no MILF's?

[mikita]

37. I have CRS syndrome

Can't Remember Shit...
