ENFJ?

I just took a Myers-Briggs test and got the result of "ENFJ."  Both the E and J barely won with only 1% strength for each.  For those unfamiliar with the test, this means I'm Extrovert-iNtuitive-Feeling-Judging.

I've always been an I (Introvert) with the J and P (Perceiving) fighting for placement every time I took the test, meaning I was either a "Counselor" or a "Healer."  I was shocked to actually get an E, although I kind of became aware of a slightly different trend while I was answering the questions.

Have I changed?

I think I have, but certainly for the best, especially since one of the suggested careers for ENFJ was social work.  I am apparently an Idealist Teacher.  Here is a good rundown of the ENFJ portrait: Personality Page.com.

When I was little I was extremely extroverted.  I sang on restaurant tables and greeted strangers like they were family.  In church I was a virtual social butterfly!  I've been working a long time to try and win that little kid back from inside the shell it was put into to, and it seems I've made some serious progress.
