As If You Wanted To Know More About Me

I found a fun personality test this morning. Here are my results:

I think if you click on it, you can go there yourself to take the test. The results are interesting and all, but the most interesting part is finding out how my "type" compares to the rest of the population. Only 12% of the population as my same personality type, and only 8 1/2 % of women. See? I'm a rare one. Yes, that's rare...not odd! I share this type with one Queen of England, and 6 American Presidents. Move over Hilary!

According to this, my temperament is a "Protector". Here's what they say about it:

"SJs are observant, stable and motivated by a need to maintain security. They are realistic, routinized administrators requiring tasks be completed correctly and that people behave appropriately. SJs make thorough examinations to ensure everything is done according to plan. They make sure no more and no less credit is given than due. When a need arises, they are quick to provide a solution, provided that the need is justified. SJs are not driven by impulse, but rather by concrete fact. By virtue of their reliable, diligent, industrious, persevering nature, they make excellent leaders. "

I am also an "Examiner". And here's what they say about that:

"ISTJs are responsible, loyal and hard working. They have an acute sense of right and wrong and work hard at preserving established norms and traditions. Because of their deep sense of duty they are dedicated to everything they do and are very dependable. ISTJs care deeply for those closest to them."

Isn't it nice how everything comes out sounding so flattering??

I think those closest to me would say something more like...

"She's loyal and hard working. She will not rest, and will not let me rest either. She has an acute sense of right and wrong, and just will not keep her mouth shut about it. She is very dependable, especially when it comes to her devotion to chocolate. She cares deeply for me, and shows it by bossing me around. She must be an oldest child."

I also found this, that you might have fun with: Spiritual Gifts Test (I was so excited to find this one!)

Here are my results from that test:

Gift - Score
teacher 23
prophet 23
giver 20
shepherd 19
mercy shower 18
exhorter 17
helper 15
evangelist 9
administrator 8


Your two highest gifts (gift mix):
TEACHER: That special ability and desire to study God;s Word and share with others what is learned. The teacher enjoys communicating information to individuals or groups (Eph. 4:11-14; I Cor. 12:28; Rom. 12:7).

PROPHET: That special ability to see the influence of evil as did the Old Testament prophets and warn God's people of its damage. The prophet has a deep passion to defend God's reputation, stand for issues. She uses negative motivation, i.e., "thus saith the Lord . . ." (I Cor. 12:10,28; Eph. 4:11-15; Rom. 12:6).

Anyway...I had fun with this this morning, and thought you might too. I'm off to go take a free IQ test (but I probably will not share those embarrassing results).
