All About Me
Ever do one of these online personality tests? I sometimes hesitate for fear of what it will tell me – ha. Actually I love these tests and have done the more detailed version of this particular one for work. I was pleased to find out that this shorter on-line version pretty much gave me the same results.
I’m an INPT and and Introvert. Guess I didn’t really need a test to tell me that – but it was kinda fun.
Here’s some info from the ‘mypersonality’ webpage:
“INTPs are logical, individualistic, reserved, and very curious individuals. They focus on ideas, theories and the explanation of how things work. They are especially adept at discussions and debate. They have the ability to focus intently on a subject. They appreciate and respect intelligence in others.”
“People with intrapersonal intelligence are adept at looking inward and figuring out their own feelings, motivations and goals. They are introspective and seek understanding. They are intuitive and typically introverted. They learn best independently.”
“Introversion is a preference to focus on the world inside the self. Introverts tend to be quiet, peaceful and deliberate and are not attracted to social interactions. They prefer activities they can do alone or with one other close friend, activities such as reading, writing, thinking, and inventing. Introverts find social gatherings draining.”
All of that does pretty much describe me, except that for work sometimes I do have to be an extrovert – which I can do quite well. The thing that was interesting was reading this next section:
“Intuition refers to how people process data. Intuitive people focus on the future and the possibilities. They process information through patterns and impressions. They read between the lines, they are abstract thinkers.”
But I want to be this:
“Sensing refers to how people process data. Sensing people focus on the present, they are “here and now” people, who are factual and process information through the five senses. They see things as they are, they are concrete thinkers.”
Maybe I’m not wired to be that way so I should stop trying and embrace what I am. I guess. I’d love to be a concrete thinker -obviously I’m not.
Anyway, that was fun. If you want to give it a try just click on the badge at the top of the post and it will take you to their website.
