So today we were urged to take this personality test. As a Psychology major in college I took many of these types of tests...the Jung personality test being one. I love doing these types of things! Anyway so I took the test and today I scored as an ESFP with these percentages...
ESFP
Extravert(1%) Sensing(12%) Feeling(75%) Perceiving(33)%
You have marginal or no preference of Extraversion over Introversion (1%)
You have slight preference of Sensing over Intuition (12%)
You have distinctive preference of Feeling over Thinking (75%)
You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (33%)
As you can see there is a marginal difference between Extraversion over Introversion...so I can easily be ISFP in which out of the two I find that I have more qualities that fit my personality. And Since my preference of Sensing over Intuition isn't very high either I also looked into the INFP...which has qualities that describe me as well. However it doesn't surprise me at all that my Feeling over Thinking is way high haha. So anyway I thought I would share with you some parts of each description that I felt fit me and figured that way you could get a better scope of my perception of myself...maybe those of you who know me would agree...maybe not!
ESPF
"Spontaneous. Social gatherings are an energy boost to these people" (which for me can go either way sometimes social gatherings are, sometimes they drain me) ESFPs love to talk to people about people. Their down-to-earth, often homespun wit reflects a mischievous benevolence. Almost every ESFP loves to talk. Some can be identified by the twenty minute conversation required to ask or answer a simple factual question."
ISFP
"ISFPs may be quite charming and ingratiating on first acquaintance, flowing with compliments which may (or may not) be deserved. On other occasions, the same individual may be aloof and detached.Some ISFP males are fiercely competitive, especially in sport or table games, and may have great difficulty losing." (although this says males...I find myself the same way.)
INFP
"INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities."
"INFP children often exhibit this in a 'Calvin and Hobbes' fashion, switching from reality to fantasy and back again. With few exceptions, it is the NF child who readily develops imaginary playmates (as with Anne of Green Gables's "bookcase girlfriend"--her own reflection) and whose stuffed animals come to life like the Velveteen Rabbit and the Skin Horse:"
"...Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand..." (the Skin Horse)
I was most assuredly an INFP kid...that is why I love Toy Story so much because that is how I felt about my toys-they were alive. I still find myself equating feelings to inanimate objects...people think I'm nuts.
"As INTPs tend to have a sense of failed competence, INFPs struggle with the issue of their own ethical perfection, e.g., perfo rmance of duty for the greater cause. An INFP friend describes the inner conflict as not good versus bad, but on a grand scale, Good vs. Evil. Luke Skywalker in Star Wars depicts this conflict in his struggle between the two sides of "The Force." Although the dark side must be reckoned with, the INFP believes that good ultimately triumphs."
"Feeling is caught in the approach- avoidance bind between concern both for people and for All Creatures Great and Small, and a psycho-magnetic repulsion from the same."
"Extraverted intuition faces outward, greeting the world on behalf of Feeling. What the observer usually sees is creativity with implied good will. Intuition spawns this type's philosophical bent and strengthens pattern perception. It combines as auxiliary with introverted Feeling and gives rise to unusual skill in both character development and fluency with language--a sound basis for the development of literary facility. If INTPs aspire to word mechanics, INFPs would be verbal artists."
"Sensing is introverted and often invisible. This stealth function in the third position gives INFPs a natural inclination toward absent- mindedness and other-worldliness, however, Feeling's strong people awareness provides a balancing, mitigating effect. This introverted Sensing is somewhat categorical, a subdued version of SJ sensing. In the third position, however, it is easily overridden by the stronger functions."
I also thought it was funny that one of the fictional INFPs was Doug Funny from the Nicktoon Doug...I always thought I was the girl version of him lol
So all of this to say I feel I see myself more as an INFP than an ESFP or an ISFP...but can see myself in all in some ways--
