Myers-Briggs foolishness

[handslive]

Taking the recent quiz people were pointing to, I had a sudden realization. My personality type is radically different at work from what it is at home.

Here's the difference:

• At work - IxTJ
  

  Introverted (I) 71% 	Extraverted (E) 29%
  Sensing (S) 50% 	Intuitive (N) 50%
  Thinking (T) 90% 	Feeling (F) 10%
  Judging (J) 73% 	Perceiving (P) 27%
  

• At home - ExFP
  

  Extraverted (E) 68% 	Introverted (I) 32%
  Sensing (S) 50% 	Intuitive (N) 50%
  Feeling (F) 75% 	Thinking (T) 25%
  Perceiving (P) 82% 	Judging (J) 18%

Of course it is! You're a very interesting and intelligent person! :-)

Ah. I thought I was bipolar maybe. :-)

Bipolar in a completely normal way, then! :-)

I believe feelings are valid only if they are logical.
I believe any feeling is valid, whether it makes sense or not.
I'm really in between.

New option: I believe all feelings *are* logical in the sense that they all have traceable sources, whether they are related to personality, experience, or pathology.

Okay, I feel better. ("I'm really in between" didn't really cut it on that one.)

That wasn't the only piece of "what the heck scale were they using?". Take this for example:

I am sometimes accused of being too rigid.
I am sometimes accused of being too indecisive.
I'm really in between.

That's always been one of my complaints about the MBK's I've taken. But then none of them have been an actual formally administered example of the test, so I have to wonder.

Right, like anyone would answer that they're too indecisive. "I can't decide whether I'm too rigid or indecisive. I'll just say I'm in between."
