Leading on from the earlier thread, have any of you ever tried an MBTI test or similar?
I am no expert but took one out of intrest. You are normally assigned a four letter grouping for your personality type and mine came up ISTP.
Being curious I got OH to do one also, he came up ESTJ, which apparently is a pretty good match.
Anyway, he listed a load of my supposed traits, which personally I thought were all rather negative. I went on to ask if he agreed and this was his response!
Hidden – not really
Private – yes and no
has trouble describing feelings – not once you know someone
not very affectionate – again, once you know someone you let your guard down
loner tendencies – only cos you’re in the house, in the pub never, in company never
lower energy – nah – evidence in the bedroom
can be insensitive to the misfortunes of others – I’d say you are more sensitive than me
disorganized - yes
messy - yes
fears drawing attention to self – except when drunk
anti-tattoos - yes
anti counter culture – loves shopping so this cannot be the case!
not comfortable in unfamiliar situations – maybe but is willing to face them [Navy/divorce/bank]
avoidant, rather unemotional – disagree here
does not like attention – disagree here – but doesn’t seek it
more interested in intellectual pursuits than relationships or family - disagree
hermetic - no
not complimentary- you are
dislikes leadership – probably true
more submissive then domineering – to a point but there’s a line that no man dare cross :o)
In summary; Do you know yours, do you think it fits and the same goes for your OH's?
Here is a link to one if you would like to give it a go.
