Myers-Briggs Personality Test

      The results I got on my test are ESFP or "The Entertainer". I was actually surprised with my results because I never thought of myself as extroverted, and I even retook the test just to make sure. After I retook the test I got a similar result except instead of feeling over thinking, the next time I got thinking over feeling.

     Here are my results the first time:

     And here are my results the second time:


     I think both of my results capture parts of my personality but none of them are spot on. 

     For ESFP or "The Entertainer" I don't agree with the "highly social nature" part because I don't think I'm highly social and I don't need to be the center of attention all the time. However, I am a "here and now" type person and I love excitement and new adventures. I also don't like being alone, it makes me feel a little bit sad. If I can talk to someone whether it's texting or talking on the phone or physically being with people, I am happier. I found it funny that ESFP people dislike science fiction because that's basically the only genre of books and movies I don't like. I can also finish work efficiently like it says, and I love helping my friends with their problems and making my friends laugh. I never knew that I had the same personality type as Marlyn Monroe, Elvis Prestly and Homer Simpson! That's interesting.

"The persuader" or ESTP also had some accurate traits but I feel like ESTP people are too exciting and extreme for me. I don't think I'm always friendly and enthusiastic. I can be but sometimes I chose not to, but I can take criticism of its to better me as a person. Apparently some of my friends at school agree that I sometimes dominate conversations and I like sports and taking risks so I do have some ESTP qualities. According to this test I am one of the Simpsons because an ESPT character is Bart Simpson.

     The career matches for both ESPT and ESFP seem fun. Any job where I don't sit down in front of a computer all day is good. Personally, I think I am more ESFP, but a lot of people told me I'm more ESTP. It's funny that our perception of ourselves is actually not how other people see us as. I never thought I would be an extrovert. When I told my mom and sister they were surprised too but I got extrovert twice and I would rather be around people than be alone so it makes sense. It was really interesting to take this test!

  4. my favorite part of your post is the fictional ESFP people because it says you have the same personality as some pretty reputable characters, plus you post is really in depth about living as a ESFP person.
