Personality test

I took this quiz a few months ago and just took it again earlier today. Just goes to show that some people are hard to define, since I got slightly different results (ISFJ v. ISFP). For the most part, I think both types apply to me.


You Are An ISFJ

The Nurturer (and my comments.)

You have a strong need to belong, and you are very loyal. (Yes.)

A good listener, you excel at helping others in practical ways. (True.)

In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through writing, art, cooking, and music. (Uh-huh.)

You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for. (Yes I would.)

In love, you express your emotions through actions. Taking care of someone is how you love them. And you do it well! (Thank You.)

At work, you do well in a structured environment. You complete tasks well and on time. (Yes. Well, for the most part anyway.)

You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist. (I don't want to do any of those things professionally.)

How you see yourself: Competent, dependable, (Definitely on both) and detail oriented. (Some things more than others...)

When other people don't get you, they see you as: boring, dominant, and stuck in a rut. (Interesting observations...)



You Are An ISFP

The Artist (and my comments.)

You are a gifted artist or musician, though your talents may be dormant right now. (You might'n be sayin' that.)

You enjoy spending your free time in nature, and you are good with animals and children. (I agree.)

Simply put, you enjoy beauty in all its forms and live for the simple pleasures in life. (Right on the mark.)

Gentle, sensitive, and compassionate - you are good at recognizing people's unspoken needs. (Good to know...)

In love, you are quiet and sweet yet very passionate. You love easily. You have an underlying love for all living things, and it's easy for you to accept someone into your heart. (Closet romantic? Yes.)

At work, you do best in an unconventional position. You express yourself well and can work with almost anyone. (and I have...)

You would make a good veterinarian, pediatrician, writer or composer. (hmmmmm...)

How you see yourself: Sympathetic, kind, and communicative. (I'll buy that!)

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Incompetent, insecure, and overly sensitive. (Don't rush to judge...)


What's Your Personality Type?

Big day tomorrow and he better be worth it.

I'm shortly off to bed because I have that one day crash course for the licensing exam tomorrow. The schedule says 8:00 to 18:00 for actual class time.

11/16 UPDATE: I actually left my apartment at 6:15, and got there at 6:45, since registration started at 7:30. I wasn't sure what time I needed to leave my apartment because you never know from day to day what the traffic on the highways around the Boston area will be like. And five minutes can make the difference between moving freely and getting bogged down in stop and go traffic. The class was held in a hotel right off of the highway and very easy to get to.

The class was fruitful as the instructor went through the book and highlighted the areas most commonly asked on the exam. We broke for five minute breaks every hour and had 30 minutes for lunch. The breaks were good for using the restroom and mostly because the material is so dry. It helped us (me anyway) to stay awake. My only complaint for the day was, for the cost of the class, lunch should have been included in the price, especially since there was a restaurant right there in the restaurant. But it was not.

I actually got out of the class at 14:30 becasue the last section discussed Massachusetts law, which doesn't apply to me right now. This was good as I needed to meet the ex to pick up V and M for the night.

I take the exam again on November 22 @ 15:00. I had better pass.

It was revealed on Tuesday that my Boston Red Sox won the right to negotiate a contract for 26 year old Japanese pitcher Diasuke Matsuzaka, shown here at the 2006 World Baseball Classic (of which he was MVP).

From everything I've read, he's good. Real Good.

They paid $51.1 million dollars to his Japanese League team, the Seibu Lions, for that right. Now they have to negotiate a contract with the player by December 14 or he goes back to his Japanese team. I suppose the good part is that if the Red Sox fail to sign the player to a contract within the 30 day window, then the Seibu Lions do not pass GO and do not collect $51,100,000.00.

Never let anyone tell you that professional sports is not a business first and foremost. The games are just a bonus for the fans, it seems.
