I put my blog through the Typealyzer and was surprised to find that it is ESFP, or "Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling, Perception." I know the test says that the writing style on a blog may have nothing to do with a person's personality, but it makes me wonder. I mean, I've taken these personality tests before and I always get INFP, or "Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, Perception." That's pretty much how I am. But my curiosity got the best of me and I read all about ESFP and, surprisingly, found myself identifying with it quite a lot.

And I have to say, it's really... refreshing. My common ground is the Feeling and Perception, and I know I tend to swing both ways when it comes to Sensing and Intuition. But what got me was the Extraversion because I'm a pretty quiet person, at least initially. I think once you get to know me (and my quirkiness), I open up more. In social situations, sometimes I thrive and sometimes I get worn out. I think it really depends on who I'm hanging out with. In most cases, I'm in that middle ground where I'm neither comfortable or uncomfortable but just chilling.

I think... I think I'm a bit of both. I mean, you really can't put one person in one category. You can identify with one more than the other, is what I'm saying. And I identify with both ESFP and INFP, strange as that is. I'm an introverted extravert? Who observes, lives in the moment, helps others, is easygoing, and is pleasant company? Eh? Oh, I don't know. This tweet is how I feel.

But anyway, toastier.org is this according to the Typealyzer:
"The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don't like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.

They enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions."
Conclusion: I am Michael Scott.

Oh my gosh, that's awesome. My blog is an INFP, which isn't far off, because I'm an INFJ.

The major flaw in Myers-Briggs is that you could be 49% extroverted and 51% introverted, and you'd still be labeled an introvert. I'm like a million percent introverted, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy socializing and stuff.

Your blog really is Michael Scott, though. Judging by that description, I mean. ;)

THAT BLOG PERSONALITY TEST THING IS THE SHIT thank you for sharing. this is what it said about me:

"ISTP - The Mechanics

The independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. They generally prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.

The Mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like seek fun and action both in their work and personal life. They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters."

other than the fact that it sounds like it was written my my immigrant father ("attuned to the demands of the moment are masters"? really?), that is kind of surprisingly accurate in some ways...
Hi, my name is Amy. Be well, and say hello!
