Today finished the 2nd of my 3 day orientation at school. Yesterday’s orientation consisted of everything from how to successfully register for classes to finding a bathroom at those critical moments. Today was more entertaining, as our class got the opportunity to break into small groups based on a personality test we were required to complete prior to enrollment. The results were interesting. Yours truly comes in as a ENFJ which is psycho-babble for Extrovert/Insightful/Feeler/Judger. Famous people who are also classified as ENFJ-ers include Gahndi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Jr., Oprah Winfrey, Moses, Jesus and Santa Claus. (OK, Eleanor Roosevelt really wasn’t a ENFJ-er, I just embellished.)
It was interesting to meet with my group of fellow ENFJ-ers. I had met a few of my group members prior to the discussion and it was intersting to find out that I had unknowingly associated with people of my own personality type. The speaker for the day, a successful author whose name escapes me at this late hour, says that people seek out similar personality types and almost inevitably chose these people as their closest friends. Even more interesting is that these same people will almost invariably choose an opposite personality as a life partner. What’s the saying? “Birds of a feather flock together.” & “Opposites attract”
So, lovebirds before you get too serious with Mister or Misses “Right” have them take the Myers-Briggs Personality Test to make sure you’re compatible.
Now, play nicely…
