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.

Warp Speed Ahead

It figures that after writing that last entry defending Republicans against so much criticism, they would go and do something utterly stupid.  I didn't get to watch the State of the Union or the following Republican Response, but my boyfriend told me about it.

I cannot understand why this country is so very determined to segregate itself into factions.


In other personal news, I just got back on American soil last Tuesday after staying in Bali for almost three weeks.  Now I'm trying my best to prepare for my last semester of college.  I can't decide whether I'm looking forward to it or dreading it.  I'll be spending almost all of my time painting as much as possible and writing an intense sociology seminar paper (with a little Christology & Images of Jesus on the side).  I've got a great schedule, at least, which leaves my MWF completely free (minus a possible studio art meeting on Monday afternoons).

Anyway, here's to my last few months as an undergrad!  Hope your next few months are good as well.
