Results for me, actually not too far off, if at all.....
I took the quiz "What's Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type?" and got the result: ENFP (Extraversion, iNtuition, Feeling, Perception)!
You are warmly enthusiastic and imaginative. You see life as full of possibilities. You make connections between events and information very quickly, and confidently proceed based on the patterns you see. You want a lot of affirmation from others, and readily give appreciation and support. You are spontaneous and flexible, and often rely on your ability to improvise and verbal fluency. Famous people with your same ENFP personality include: Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Andy Kaufman, Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, Sandra Bullock, and Robert Downey Jr.

SEEMS right to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the real fun sometimes can be to ask your significant other to take the MBTI shortened version and do it as a rating on YOU to see if others see you the way you see yourself -----------------

This is more often the case if you are brutally honest in answering the questions . My profile hasn't moved ENTJ/P, wheras in LIFO or Loq and others as you are able to flex styles more easily your communication style becomes a bit less dominant and a secondery or backup style emerges

I now remember taking the test a while ago, and I think I was INTJ then...since changed to ISTJ (although weak on the S).

this happens where one dimension is fairly close and its entirely situational . In my case the J/P are extremely tight too

True.
I always feel left out in these discussions, though, because there aren't many ENTPs around. 2%, I think, is the quoted figure. Oh well.
Interesting that 2 of my "recommended careers" are teaching high school science (what I started in school to do), and finance, which is what I do do (hee hee). A third is design engineering, which I always thought would be cool. Maybe my next job...

Must be why I'm bordering between ISFJ and INFJ depending on the actual quiz and when I take it. Both recommend similar careers (teaching and secretarial) so they're related anyway. I'll admit I don't know much about Myers Briggs though.

ask your husband to take it and have do it about you and see if his feedback is consistent/validates with what you scored

Took a couple online ones. First test I did twice, switching the weak responses. First try ENTP, second time ESTP; second test was ENTJ, 68/38/1/1. I sorta question the whole thing. Too black and white. Definately more extroverted, but I don't really see the dichotomy that exists in the other areas.
Couple of interesting questions:
But seriously, a decision, by definition, is "The passing of judgment on an issue under consideration." How is an approximate decision not self-contadictory?

Easy question for me to answer, given my response to the question was "What the fudge is an approximate decision?"

Uh, the creative idea that leads to a practical solution? I'm pretty sure that's the basis of the rise of mankind. Putting a sharp stone on the end of a stick and throwing it was pretty creative. Also a practical solution of how to kill animals larger than people. Good example of where the two answers provided aren't even close to being opposites.

mondeo hits on one of the major weaknesses of these personality tests. Also, read other peoples definitions for their abbreviations. As I mentioned above, they are horoscope like in that most definitions would fit most people in some way shape or form. Trekchik's ENFP all sounds like it matches up for me but I know for sure that the MBPI would not put me in that category based on how many of the questions are posed.
I was a Psych major in college at the undergrad level. Now, psychology is a very wishy washy social science to begin with but Psychology of Personality was perhaps the most wishy washy of all the course offerings. All the theories have great ideas but almost all of them have MAJOR flaws. Because, essentially, there is so much variety in personality that no one theory could unify everything that goes into our personal makeup as people. And these tests just pigeon hole people based on their most striking characteristics.
I worked temporary in a sales office soon after graduating from college and they had people take a personality at the start of their interview. I remember the managers and admins raving because this one interview dude scored wicked high for a sales person personality, however they were rated it. It was like they would not have been impressed with this guy's interview without a personality test. It just didn't make sense to me.
I had to take a similar test four years back when I was promoted to management. During the test I kept thinking "do I click the answers that are really me or the ones they want to see?" That PISSED me off because what I do for work and my personality type do not align. My philosophy is you judge people on what they do and have done, not what they say or what a test says about them.

In the journey to self awareness and discovery there is a definite need to expand your assessment beyond one or two instruments . That notion coupled with the fact that some always try to "scope out" their answers can only lead to false or lets say less than accurate feedback . for these reasons and for a more rounded and complete analsis we always used a series of coordinatinfg instruments and advised clients to answer as if they were in their work environment since the focus was Leadership Development . These programs were tiered in complexity and were offerd in sequence usually a couple of weeks apart to allow for implementation of personalized action plans with specififc feedback . There were 4 levels of preogramming each 2.5 days long to give you and idea of the depth of coverage Each day was in residence and a full 8 hrs but also programmed withlots of athletic and or social events in the late after non or evening.
SO ASA I POINTED OUT BEFORE THE KEY IS UNDERSTANDING NOT ONLY OF SELF BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY OF OTHERS ON MANY COMPLEX DIMENSIONS SO THAT MORE INTELLIGENT AND PRODUCTIVE LEADERSHIP CAN OCCUR .
So while it is understandable that some msy be skeptical initially ( never liked the "shortened version of any instrument btw) take the full mbti 126 question and answer the questions with your honest first impression ,not drilling down into analysis /paralysis and with an eye toward your professional worklife if you wish to improve there or conversely if you really want to find out some things about yourself have some friends or significant others or co workers do the instrument ABOUT YOU
Have done this particular strategy many times with colleagues AND family and have used results to increase awareness and harmony . Its something i used with our kids when we were younger parents and of course today with them .. When the grandkids are old enough and if they are interested ( they are already intellectually curious ) we'll have some fun there too .
ENJOY !!!
