Which Personality Type are You?
Posted: December 13th, 2014, 5:43 am
Well I've had a bit of trouble (again!) in my day job, and after a terrible week where I almost quit I realised my problems were down to my rare personality type (INFJ).
INFJ's are rare (especially so in males), which explains why so many people think I'm strange, and I don't seem to fit in. We don't take criticism well. We may not appear to have good social skills, but we are very in tune with other people's feelings. So much so that sitting in an office full of people with problems can cause us extreme distress (empathy). When my team leader got a bad review from his boss last month the bad feelings emanating from my team leader were extremely contagious.
So what type are forum members? Go to 16Personalities.com to determine your type.
I predict that most members here are I and N. I = introvert and N = more imaginative and focused on the future. The trolls are more likely to be S and T types. I'm sure we have many INTP (classic geek) types here.
As an INFJ, I've never advanced my career because all my bosses have been ESTJ. They hate me! My boss has no imagination which is weird. Also dates with ESTJ's have been disasters. ESTJ women are often attractive, very intelligent and have good jobs.
One of my ex's was an ISTJ, I got on better with her but the S and T types are generally disasters for our N and F types.
Maybe ESTJ's have a chip on their shoulder because the real bosses in life are ENTP's. ESTJ's are often middle management, but they lack the creativity and vision to make it to the top or to start their own businesses. I dated one ENTP and she was awesome. Steve Jobs was most likely an ENTP.
I'm not a real geek because they're usually INTP's. I knew this for a long time because I'm not as geeky as other geeks, and I'm not so good at maths or concentrating.
Many of my friends are ISFJ.
My sister is also the same type as me, so maybe it runs in families or is related to upbringing.
Anyway, it bodes well for my future career as a teacher, but I'll need to develop my Extrovert personality. This does get easier with age.
As far as marriage would go, I would be best to seek out an ENTP. I would get bored of ES types, although they are fun to be around. This kind of explains why I did better with dating in China than I did in Thailand. It's unlikely that a Thai ENTP would date a farang.
