My brilliant friend, Jill, posted about her personality and I am thrilled to be able to share one thing in common with her: my personality type!
According to Meyers Briggs Type Indicator I am:
ISTJ
Introverted | Sensing | Thinking | Judging
What does that mean? According to the test, I am:
- Quiet, serious, earn success by thoroughness and dependability.
- Practical, matter-of-fact, realistic, and responsible.
- Decide logically what should be done and work toward it steadily, regardless of distractions.
- Take pleasure in making everything orderly and organized – work, home, life.
- Value traditions and loyalty.
I have to say, it's pretty accurate. I would hope so since I scored over 70% in each quadrant.
In total there are 16 potential personality types. The whole study is quite fascinating. For a more in-depth view of an ISTJ you can head over to Wikipedia which has a rather thorough description of the personality type. But for a quick run-down:
