Who Am I?

I love taking personality test like the one on InsightGame.org. They help me to understand why I act the way that I do. I really liked this particular game because it asked questions I have never been asked before. In the end I had to ultimately decide between two personalities that both fit who I am in different ways: ESFJ or ISFJ. I ended up picking a ESFJ because the other was supposed to go into the ministry for work and that definitely is not me! So ESFJ:

ESFJs are outgoing, sociable, practical and organized. They pride themselves on their reflexive skills to harmonize, entertain and nurture others. Duty, personal service, manners and social order come second-nature to this type. Warm, friendly and naturally talented at working with others and organizing people and events, ESFJs make excellent salespeople, health care providers, teachers, homemakers and hosts. They work well as club and committee members, and their type numbers conspicuously among volunteer, church, charitable, social and civic organizations. Traditional, conservative and loyal, ESFJs work hard, devoting their time and energy to family and friends. This caring type has little tolerance for those whose actions or omissions hurt others’ feelings, and they may let the offender know! Although ESFJs derive personal satisfaction from helping others, they need verbal and tangible strokes of appreciation for their good work. When they do not receive the kind of recognition and reciprocation they feel is due, ESFJs may suffer attacks of righteous indignation.

There were other statements that the site made about SJ's that really struck home for me like:

• My energy level is boosted by meeting new people in a party like setting
• I prefer to work on projects by myself or with one other person
• People with no common sense are hard for me to understand
• My heart rules my head
• Organize as much as possible, all about schedules and planning
• Stickler for schedules, commitments, someone who always finishes what they start, on time
• Works hard for good grades, formal recognition, and approval for teacher's and administration
• Sensible, demanding, LOYAL, neat, clean, hardworking, and constructive
