well late to the discussion as always...

I'm an INFP, married to an ENTJ - which is supposedly a good match according to several things I've read over the years.

BTW, "Please Understand Me II" is an excellent resource for personality types.

I gotta wonder sometimes tho about INFP with an ENTJ. <sigh>

You should see the sparks fly when he wants to take charge and lead the way in a way that violates my ideals!!! And stomping all over feelings? naw..that never happens...NOT!

If you enjoyed that one, try the Enneagram test in my signature line. It's been a powerful tool for my H and I as individuals and for our marriage. I am a type 1w2 and he is a type 4w3. Be sure and research your type on the internet for more information. There is a LOT of information out there and some very good books written on the subject.

Take care!

I sent the link to myself and will take the test later today. I'll report back with results.
Thanks Melody. LouLou

Am I missing something about the test site? I went there, it wanted payment which is very small, but I don't use my credit card for such small purchases?
Plus the security is an issue for me?
Did the rest of you pay for the test?
Thank you, LouLou

I took this and am an ESFJ, I took the test answering for my W as best I could which was probably pretty good since I have known her 11 years and she is an ESFP. I took the free marriage sample test for compatability and the chances for a successful long term relationship. We scored 87%. Anything over 62% is an indicator of a successful long term relationship.

I guess she doesn't know or feel that right now.
Anyway, it was interesting.

now what, you really can't take a test for someone else, no matter how well you think you know them. Anyways, for good or bad these tests just provid a general insight into onesself or others. See if you can get your wife to take the tests on her own.

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> I have found the myers-briggs type indicator (MBTI) to be quite useful. It makes sense to me. (sorry Stillwed the ennegram didn't)

I'm an INTJ (it is a perfect fit) and my hubby (GoodEnough) is an INTP.

The P-J split has resulted in some interesting times. I'll ask a (in my mind) yes-no question and he'll answer with a book. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Here's an interesting (humour) link about dealing with INTJs.

sufdb,

I know. I'm sure some of the questions I answered for her would be answered differently by her, but it is a general indicator. NW

Both the Jung (etc.) and Enneagram tests were pretty interesting. My H is very ISTJ and 1w9.

I'm apparently kind'a tough to pin down. Which, when I finally figured out I'm an ISFJ and a "9", makes sense.

All VERY interesting.....

Took the Enneagram test, Type 2 and 2w3. fits pretty good.
Jung test? Nobody answered about paying?
I won't charge on my card to take the test. LOL Cheap? nope, price is nothing, but to charge $3 is not me. It has to be a much larger amt to use my card. And a number to call and put it through so it's not online. Only things we have done online in charging is hotels, trips and ebay.
Interesting test though on the Enneagram.
thanks for the sites. LouLou

There is a free sample test that you can take on the site.
I will try to get to that today and come back w/ the title of that test.
xo

2ndfiddle, thank you. I'm not really cheap, I just don't like charging piddly sums and especially on line. LOL
If they had where I could mail it in, i'd do that.
Is this some quirk of mine? I once say a lady charge about $2.00 in the dept store for nuts at the candy counter. I almost fell over. LOL Just blew me away I guess as the credit cards to me are for large purchases and convenience such as ordering our meds from mail order pharmacy.
I'd sort of feel out of control using mine for a dollar here and there. LOL
There are so many test online, it is just a matter of seeking them out. It appears more for fun to me. Like IQ test, there are so many different ones and the results can all be different.
Anyhow, thanks for any you post that I can just jump to and take.

ENTJ - Dead On... Totally Dead On.

moderately expressed extrovert

very expressed intuitive personality

very expressed thinking personality

moderately expressed judging personality

"I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?"
ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ requires little encouragement to make a plan. One ENTJ put it this way... "I make these little plans that really don't have any importance to anyone else, and then feel compelled to carry them out." While "compelled" may not describe ENTJs as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to make those plans realiity is a common theme for NJ types.

ENTJs are often "larger than life" in describing their projects or proposals. This ability may be expressed as salesmanship, story-telling facility or stand-up comedy. In combination with the natural propensity for filibuster, our hero can make it very difficult for the customer to decline.

TRADEMARK: -- "I'm really sorry you have to die." This is SOOO me!!! lol (I realize this is an overstatement. However, most Fs and other gentle souls usually chuckle knowingly at this description.)

ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently assign roles to their fellows. Few other types can equal their ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into the mouth of hell. When challenged, the ENTJ may by reflex become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with.

this was so dead on it was scary "Unequivocating" expresses the resoluteness of the ENTJ's dominant function. Clarity of convictions endows these Thinkers with a knack for debate, or wanting knack, a penchant for argument. The light and heat generated by Thinking at the helm can be impressive; perhaps even overwhelming. Experience teaches many ENTJs that restraint may often be the better part of valor, lest one find oneself victorious but alone.

Introverted iNtuition
The auxiliary function explores the blueprints of archetypal patterns and equips Thinking with a fresh, dynamic sense of how things work. Improvising on the fly is something many ENTJs do very well. As Thinking's subordinate, insights are of value only insofar as they further the Right, True Cause celebre. [n.b.: ENTJs are capable of living on a higher plane, if you will, and learning to value individuals even above their principles. The above dynamic suggests less individuation.]

Extraverted Sensing
Sensing reaches out to embrace that which physically touches it. ENTJs have an awareness of the real; of that which exists. By stilling the engines of Thinking and iNtuition, this type may experience the Here and Now, and know things not dreamt of nor even postulated in iNtuition's philosophy. Sensing's minor role, however, puts it at risk for distortion or extreme weakness beneath the hustle and bustle of the giants N and T.

Introverted Feeling I'm famous for this! lol
Feeling is romantic, as the ethereal as the inner world from whence it doth emerge. When it be awake, feeling evokes great passion that knows not nuance of proportion nor context. Perhaps these lesser functions inspire glorious recreational quests in worlds that never were, or may only ever be in fantasy. When overdone or taken too seriously, Fi turned outward often becomes maudlin or melodramatic. Feeling in this type appears most authentic when implied or expressed covertly in a firm handshake, accepting demeanor, or act of sacrifice thinly covered by excuses of lack of any personal interest in the relinquished item.

Wow - I came out as an INFJ, which describes me to a T!

Funny - reading the description, I felt UNDERSTOOD! So I'm not crazy! My H says that I can read his mind - and it bugs him!

I have felt invalidated for my personality type all my life - "you are TOOOO sensitive, too introverted, too analytical, too passionate about politics", etc. etc. etc.

I am passionate about justice. I need time alone to recharge my batteries, because I am ALWAYS seeing the dynamics between other people and their consequent implications - its a little like having emotional X-ray vision, whether I like it or not - its not something I can switch off and just enjoy myself. When I am listening to someone, I guess I can appear impassive or aloof, but I am not, I am just completely engaged in how the other person is being. I like social occasions, but am sometimes very afraid of people, because I am aware of people's capacity for betrayal and cruelty. What I really want is to be appreciated for who I am, for my gifts, not to be run-down because I don't appear to be an extroverted go-getter.

Really interesting. Will try to get my H to take this test.

Bumping up for Terminator and Dustkitty!

I am INTJ The Portrait of the Mastermind (iNTj)

Pep <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Bump successful. I'll take it later.

I saw "Jung" in the subject line and opened it immediately. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

OK--I'm an ISTJ.

Some things fit, some don't. I answered honestly...

Too late at night to let my Jung and playful side have it's way with this coy questionnaire...for now, I embrace my unclassified persona, the one that does not have to be fed EN's, or given a digital rating from 1-10....I go let down the Venetian blinds in the bedroom and flat-line with the Dustdawg.

However tomorrow I will make mince-meat outta it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Every time I've taken this, I think "Oh, I know this answer is different than last time, I bet I won't be the same type this time."

It doesn't matter, I'm always INFJ!

The description does tend to fit me to a 't'.

Thanks for bumping it up.
