Personality Test

These type of personality tests have always fascinated me. I am a bit surprised by the results because I am usually an I...introvert. However, today I showed up as an E...extrovert.

As I am learning life is not static and I am changing. I also am trying to be honest about my answers on the test. That is the key to answer honestly....sometime I answer the questions of what I want to be versus what I actually am. Like what I want to be is better somehow. That is just crazy....but I have done it and probably will again.

Here are the results from this evening:



ESFJ-The Provider
You scored 63% I to E, 89% N to S, 14% F to T, and 47% J to P!

Providers, a subgroup of the Guardians, take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, as well as being quite sociable. Wherever they go, Providers take up the role of social contributor, happily giving their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, that traditions are supported and developed, and that social functions are a success. Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others. This is not to say that Providers are afraid to express their own emotional reactions. They are quick to like and dislike—and don’t mind saying so—tending to put on a pedestal whatever or whoever they admire, and to come down hard on those people and issues they don’t care for. You share your type with 10% of the population.
As a romantic partner, you work hard to nuture and protect your relationships. You go to great lengths to maintain harmony and are motivated to resolve conflicts. You have a very clear idea of what is important to you and do best when your partner shares those same values. You want your partner to be loving, commited, and willing to support your frequently overwelming feelings and reactions. You feel most appreciated when your partner is kind, considerate, and helpful, and compliments you often on your hard work in their behalf.
Your group summary: Guardians (SJ)
Your Type Summary: ESFJ

I like this person described above. Is it really me?....let me ponder this...time will reveal all.
