From the survey provided i was told that I'm a ENTJ. It says im slightly expresse extravert, moderate intuitive personality
slightly expressed thinking expressed thinking personality, and a moderately expressed judgeing personality. I feel knowing and taking this survey can really help, if you answered the questions to the best of your knowledge and honestly. It can help tell what the positive and negative attributes of yourself are. Also to help give you an idea of different things you can change in your everyday life to improve your self if wanted.

According to the personality test I am an ESJF (Extraverted Sensing Judging Feeling) which means I am a people person, and according to the prognosis I am warm and caring. I feel this test is fairly accurate I like to be in social situations and sometimes I do wear my emotion on my sleeves . The only part I didn’t really agree with is that ESJF’s really care about what other people think an I don’t think that is me. As far as a career goes I think my personality will fit into being a biomed tech b/c there is a lot of personal service involved.

My personality profile is ENFJ. This personality stands for Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Judging. I found out that my personality is one that has ability to manipulate others with interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. My personality liked to help others. I have always liked to help people out no matter what it is I will always be there to assist them. I also like to work, play and live in a clean and neat environment. I hate cluttered and messy areas. I have a great pet peeve with messy areas; it just looks nasty and unsanitary. My personality is one that likes to be around a group of people. I like to meet people and socialize so parties, concerts and get-togethers are always fun.

Your Type is
INTJ
Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
Imaginative, reliable, perfectionist, can be unsparing of both themselves and the others. take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. tend to be scrupulous about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice. natural brainstormers, always open to new concepts; theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded. INTJs are idea people. Anything is possible; everything is negotiable. INTJs see what might be and say "Why not?!" INTJs enjoy developing unique solutions to complex problems.
career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia).
The above describes my work habits to a “T”. I take responsibilty and ownershp for everything I do and I am a perfectionist. I am a very imaginative person and I am very giving of myself. I could use these skills in: Natural Science Education, Law, Entrepreneurship, Engineering, and Natural Science.

According to the personality test, my personality type is INFJ which is introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging. From the description of this personality type, I can see that this profile is a fairly good indicator of my actual personality.
As the profile suggests, I have a tendency to be introverted--especially when I'm thinking about something. At times I come out of my shell enough that I almost seem extroverted, but once I've entertained people for a while, I close myself off again, even from the people closest to me. This isn't intentional, but seems to be the only way to regain the energy it takes to entertain or do any major socializing.

According to the profile, careers that would be good for me would be writing, humanities studies, web design, psychology and counselling. I think this is a fairly good range of career choices for me because it seems that these are my favorite type of activities. I do a LOT of listening to people's problems (sometimes I wonder if this is just so that I don't have to do all the talking), but I also love to write, study religions and cultures and literature. The career I've chosen is web design, so I guess this personality profile is very accurate in my case.

My personality type is ENTJ. I believe the results will help me to better evaluate myself as an individual and my approach in future encounters. Its mentions that ENTJ's often excel in business. They are assertive, outspoken, confident, outgoing, energetic, fair-minded, and unaffected by conflict or criticism. Also, ENTJs are "knowledge-seekers," striving to learn new things, which help them become good problem-solvers.

According to the survey I am a INTJ one of the top personalities just kidding. INTJ says that I am a perfectionist and a system builder. It also states that I am a idea person and that I have many possibilities whatever the circumstances. I believe these traits work well in a career enviorment because we are the builders and creator's of new projects. Also being a perfectionist means that we need less monitoring in our daily duties in our fields of work. I believe being an idea person gives room for growing into new challenges that you may be faced in the work force. Also for the company we might work for we can bring ideas to better dierect the company vision.

My personality test stated that I was a ENFJ. I learned that I have a unique way of thinking and hold tremendous charisma which attracts many people to any grand scheme of mine. I found that I have a great personality for salesmanship, by the power to manipulate others minds. I also have the ability to listen well to others problems, and have the ability to multitask many problems.

I was told by the survey that I'm an INFP: i'm Introverted Feeling, Extroverted iNtuition,Introverted Sensing,Extraverted Thinking. It indicates that I would be better suited as a couseler, Religious Educator, even a Humanities teacher. Psychology/Psychoterapist is also listed. I Would agree about it saying that I'm absent minded, but that it's balanced with a strong people-awareness.
Using this tool would help you to know yourself, who you are, and how you might approach life. Being an intuitive, creative person, may be helpful in a career as a Networker. There may even be the possibility that I could come back to ECPI, or another school, and become an instructor? May, We'll see what the future holds.

ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.

ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive.

ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.

ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others.

I was skeptical about these surveys, but now I am a little more relaxed about it. It may be accurate. WHO KNOWS???

la-tah!

My results of the survey told me that i am a ISTJ. It says that i am an introverted, sensing, thinking, and judging individual. From this i get that i share feelings with others but yet i may also judge them on how they present themselves. This can be a good tool for either individuals or businesses to use to judge what type of person they are. It will help companies by knowing if the person they are thinking about hiring will work in the type of enviroment that they are trying to provide for the rest of the employees.

The survey told me I was INTJ, Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging, with the strength preferences of 22, 38, 38 and 11%, which sounds pretty accurate. When reading the description, it says that I may sometimes appear overly self-confident, but it’s not that I’m arrogant, but that I have strong convictions in my beliefs and am not easily strayed from them. This does sound much like me. As a Leo I am very head strong. I like to take the lead and be in control of the things around me that affect me, but I also am very loyal, nurturing and caring.
These qualities are great in the workplace because it allows me to analyst problems and think of new, better, faster and more efficient ways of getting the same job done. This is an asset to an employer who is looking for employees to bring new ideas to the table, but this also can become a threat to those who feel they may be outshined by my determination to find my own way of solving the same problems.

INTP type description by J. Butt and M.M. Heiss

Qualitative analysis of your type formula You are:
very expressed introvert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
slightly expressed perceiving personality

Well from this personality test I am being told that I am a INTP. Most of what I have read on the INTP describes me a lot. In some ways seeing this info and going yup that's me is in one way insightful to see and in another way very disturbing that someone can tell me alot about me just from a 70 or so question test.

According to the personality test I am an ISFJ (Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging). After reading a few articles about this personality I found that the survey was pretty accurate. ISFJs desire is to serve people. They pay very close attention to details. The articles aslo said that they are often times under appreicated becuase they prove to be very reliable. I agree that I could be classified as an ISFJ because I do find that I like things to be done correctly to the very smallest detail and I will make sure that a job gets done even if it means a late day, and I am constantly doing everything I can to make everyone content at work especially when I am underway.
