Opposites attract

I fully believe this now after living it out.  When Josh and I were going to pre-marital counseling, our counselor made us take a personality test.  For those of you non-clinical folk, we took the Meyers-Briggs Inventory, which basically looks at the way you process information, relationships, and the world around you.  When he got the results of our test, he said, “Hmm…that’s interesting.  I’ve never had that happen before.”  Josh and I were literally complete opposites on every point in the test, and consequently, our personalities (and it was not a short test).  And after we got married, we definitely felt like complete opposites as we tried to figure out how to live life together.  Honestly, it’s been great, though.  Sometimes it’s hard to step aside and take in the other person’s perspective, but it has definitely taught us how to appreciate each other.

So, I thought it would be beneficial/fun for you faithful readers to find out what type of personality you have.  (Disclaimer: this is just one small facet of a personality, so don’t expect it to reveal a whole lot about you…it’s finite.)  This website is not the official Meyers-Briggs Inventory, but it is accurate enough to determine your personality traits and hopefully give you some more insight into who you are.  Click on the “Jung+Enneagram” option in the upper right hand side of the list (The Enneagram part will give you a more complete look at your habits/tendencies).  Once you get your results, you can go here to see what each letter means by clicking on each of the 4 categories (E or I, S or N, T or F, J or P).  Finally, you can go here or here for a descriptive list of personality traits for your type.  And if you care to share, I’d love to hear what you are!
