Color Quiz
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008What does how you choose color swatches have to do with who you are?
I’m not sure but both my partner and I found the results from taking The Color Quiz accurate and thought provoking.
Kiersey Temperament Sorter
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008The Kiersey Temperament and Meyers & Briggs Type test are based on Jungian psychology. They both use the same 16 basic personality designations. Each offers a slightly different interpretation of the personality type so both tests are worth doing and reading up on.

Why take a personality test?
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008I know some people feel insulted by personality tests. After all we’re all unique and shouldn’t be pegged. True? True. But while I agree I also know that there are radically different but predictable personality types that people fall into in a general sort of way. For instance in the Meyers & Brigg system people are in varying degrees Introverts or Extroverts (only one of many criteria). Some are about 50-50 while others are extremely introverted or on the other hand extroverted. Being or relating to an extremely extroverted person is radically different than being or relating to an introverted one. Understanding other types - especially the types NOT like you - can really untie knots that arise in communication and understanding when we deal with someone very different from ourselves. Recognizing our own type can help us come to terms with what we’re inherently better or worse at handling in the day to day world.
I argue these tools help us understand our individuality far more than they "peg" us so maybe the tests are worth trying even if you are skeptical. The worse that could happen is that you’d say the tests are all wrong but my experience is most people find the results insightful and worthwhile.

The “NF” Personality In Meyers and Briggs
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008In the Meyers and Briggs Personality system “NF”s are Idealists.
David Kiersey, creator of the Kiersey Temperament Sorter says:
“Idealists talk little of what they ovserve ‘of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.’ They talk instead of what can only be seen with the mind’s eye: love, tragedy, heart and soul, tales and legends, eras and epochs, beliefs, fantasies, possibilities, symbols, selves and yes, temperament, character and personality.”
