caitlinsmom Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It's been a rough week and I need a little fluff. So tell me, based on Myers-Briggs personality test, what personality type are you? (here is the test http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp ) I am an INTJ, the most rare for a woman. It makes me a horrible parent most of the time but completely effective with any other task you give me (or rather I take over because I perceive your inadequacies lol). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolt. Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 INTJ too. You'll find that more of use are on the Internet than in most social places. As for parenting, I read a book that did the types and how they parent, and it said INTJs rock at fostering independence in children, and at dispassionately doing the things that make the most sense and yield the most benefit for the kids. As long as I remember to be playful and to say warm things (which I have to do as a conscious thing) I think I rock as a parent. You've just got to rock your own strengths sister!

(And hopefully one day the kiddos will appreciate my strengths and forgive my weaknesses as a mom!) Me too. I usually only remember when my oldest (an ENFJ) yells at me that I am no fun. Inside I'm thinking "What? I'm no fun? Are you kidding, did you see that awesomely organized bookshelf we just did in under 30 min!" Then I realize that my fun is probably not all that awesome for an 11 year old. :) I have learned to jump, dance and booty shake for the sake of fun.

bolt. Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Regarding play and warmth for INTJs -- it helped me when I learned how easy it is to manipulate children's levels of oxytocin... 20 second hug, oxytocin release, much more peaceable children who want to please me...

jar7709 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 INTJ also. DH is INTP.

sbgrace Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 IST/FJ. I'm always equal or near equal (1% this time) between T and F on those tests. I do fit characteristics of both ISTJ and ISFJ. I'm married to an INFJ. I have a son who I'm certain is an INFP. The "dreamy" or "theoretical" part of NF's is just so foreign to me. Both hubby and son spend a lot of time thinking about things other than my "here and now" view. I always feel like I'm crushing my idealistic little dreamer's (son's) heart with intrusions of realism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 These tests never work for me. I'm strongly introverted but I'm always right on the edge of the other three. Being an expat has also messed with my personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been classification test obsessed since I was 10 and NEEDED to know what style jeans fit my body type (like I had a type at 10), what colors fit my eyes, and what book character I was most like. All the tests were found in Teen Magazine so hardly a reputable source but still I had to know. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
