I just signed up Cole (my 17-year-old son) for a college coaching session with Penelope Trunk – a little scary and a little exciting for both of us. I think Penelope will help Cole explore what future steps he wants to take, but she is not for the faint of heart, if she coaches likes she blogs. I will keep you posted.
In the meantime…
Before the coaching session, Penelope sent Cole a link where he could take the Myers Briggs test that Human Resource companies use around the country. I took it about 20 years ago when I was involved in the CJ Jung Institute in Chicago, and I just took it again. My scores stayed the same. Here is the link to take the test and a fun web site that will explain the results. Obviously, a lot more can be done with this type of testing in terms of team building, relationships and personal development, but you have to start somewhere…right? I will you show you my score, if you show me your score….
Odd Loves Company!
Ok…I took the test I am ENFJ. Describes me really well. Three Presidents are ENFJ and a lot of great actors. I am in very good company!
I can’t want for my husband to take it!
As always, thanks for coming up with this great stuff.
We are the same except you are extroverted while I am introverted. You are in good company! I looked.
Your welcome, glad you found it fun.
This was really interesting. My scored shows ENTP. Sounds about right. I knew about Myers Briggs from my corporate days, but I don’t remember ever taking it. I can see how it would be helpful information. I’m going to send it to my teens to take, it will be interesting to see how we compare.
Thanks!
It is fun to compare your scores to your family members, it can explain a lot! Cole and I were very close, but he was thinking where I was feeling which was pretty interesting.
ISTJ. yep, that’s me! i love lucy’s fred mertz & cheer’s cliff, too!
I would have guessed the I and T. Glad you are happy with the results! Fred and Ethel..so great.
Ooh, fun, a test! No, seriously, I’m an INFJ, which is pretty accurate. Glad to learn I should be writing, ha! I’ll have to save the link and let Domer give it a whirl. I think I must have taken this back in my corporate days, but who knows?!
I am going to bet that Domer has an T where you have an F.
By the way, besides Mother Teresa, Garry Trudeau , Jerry Seinfeld, Nicole Kidman …you are in very good company, just sayin’
ISFJ. Which is hilarious, because when I tested in 7th grade, I was an INFP. Interesting…
INTJ. seems about right. I’ll have to get both Matt and Ben to take the test
25 years ago I was an ENFP. Now I am an ISTP. Wish I could find the old one to see exactly how much I changed since most of the scores now were pretty close to the dividing line.
