Personality Test...

Today I took a test that was worth 500$. Yup. Yesterday actually, because the time says that today is tomorrow and stop writing and go to bed. But I don't listen to time well. Mostly I try to do the opposite. Anyways, this test was meant to reveal something about yourself you may or may not have known before. It helps determine jobs that you would like, because it basically lays out your personality. Of course, some skeptism is neccessary, because if you believed every test about personality you took, where would you be now? Plus, results can be directed if the question makes it obvious about what it is determining. Or if it tells you. Anyway...

There were four letters on this test. No there weren't. There were eight. But you end up with a four letter result. the first letters are E and I, stating whether you are Extroverted or introverted. Extraverted is people oriented; The extraverted person draws energy from being with people. They feel drained and lonely when by themselves. The Introverted person is the exact opposite. I got an E, which I figured, but it was closer to I then I thought it would be.
The next letter set were S and N, for Sensation and Intuition. Sensation is all about the immediate, the now, the real. The practical facts of experience and life. More solid, 'I can see and touch it' stuff. Intuition is more the possibilities, relationships and meanings of experiences. What could be? What would that mean if it did happen? That's what they think of more. Sensation says there is a cube. And that is all it is. Intuition says there's a cube, but we could make it a box, or a tower, or a castle. Or more cubes. I got the N on this one. Not sure why, but okay.
The continuing is T and F-NOT true and false but thinking and feeling. Thinking encompasses being objective, impersonal, considers causes of events, and where a decision may lead. The pros and cons. When they do stuff, they know what they are doing, and won't get stuck halfway. Nothing irrational. If someone ran over your pigeon on purpose, and then you saw there plytapus on the road, you wouldn't run it over because it's endangered and wrong to run animals over. Well, it's cruel anyways. Feeling is more subjective, personal, weighing the value of choices and how they matter to others. What were the circumstances? What would I have done? I suppose their titles were almost self explanatory. Thinking is rational, using the head, And Feeling is more heartfelt. More human. But human isn't a great thing, so I don't know if that word even fits there nicely. Weird enough, I got F. For fail. Ha. Just joking. It isn't for fail.
The final set are J and P-Judgement and Perception. Judging is decisive, planned, orderly, aiming for controlled, regulated events. A filing cabinet. Everything has it's place. This goes here and that goes there. Organized applies. It's like an office waiting room, or a rich person's house. Don't touch anything! Perception is more spontaneous, flexibly aiming to understand life and adapt to it. If I needed another analogy I would say a river. No real set course, just makes it's way down the mountain however. Random. Do I even need to tell you what I got on this one? Isn't it obvious?

So yeah, that lead to my letter combination of ENFP. There's papers telling me what that means; papers to tell me who I am based on that test. Oh well. So, if any of you want to take this test, just lemme know. I aquired a copy. Heh heh. Yeah. And if you do take it, remember, it's more like guidelines then actual rules. 1 month till the release of Pirates!!

I took a personality test one time and it told me that I should be a circus freak.

I don't listen to those any more.
