I’d taken the Meyers Briggs Personality Test my first year of college when, a friend who was obsessed with the test, made it a pre-req for camaraderie.  A recently laid off INFJ friend credited the Meyer’s Briggs for guiding her through an agonizing, yet successful, post-layoff job quest.  After a grueling three month search, she managed to land a vast improvement over the previous gig.  A champion for the Meyers Briggs, she guessed, before I even told her, that I was an ENFP.  ENFP, that is, with a particularly strong “E”.  And for those of you not familiar, ENFP is Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving.

Yesterday I took another slightly different version of the test online.  ENTP.  Interesting.  The “feeling” variable had switched to “thinking” but the rest was the same.  Went and found a third version of the test online in order to break the tie.  ENFP.  Yep, feeling, extrovert that I am, my entire Facebook was told and is now all buzzing Meyers Briggs.

A couple of my ENFP friends had announced themselves within minutes and others soon followed.  Eventually, even an INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judgmental) shared his Meyers Briggs category before retreating back into his cave again.  A couple of other “I” friends discussed the Meyers Briggs with me privately but requested that I withhold their names from any blog entries or “Wall to Wall” Facebook chats.

ENFP – “Journalist”. Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama. 8.1% of total population.
