My Myers-Briggs Personality Test

-=[6th September2004, Monday]=-
Feeling: Very excited; Venue: At home (where else??)

It was a great chat with Xiaoyun and Andrew (Shahril had to go off earlier coz he was too stoned) at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf joint last night. Xiaoyun mentioned that she is freelancing on giving workshops on inspirations etc. She is actually a qualified workshop conductor of the Myers-Briggs personality test. She kinda analysed for me. And yeah thanks to Andrew - he got for me the webby for the test and I kinda took it again. WOah so accurate the readings and analysis. I have to stress that the webby is just a brief one. But is already sufficient enough for me to find out the main points about me =). For more in-depth and detailed analysis, you will have to purchase it over the net, which I am not gonna do so *bleah*

Anyway according to the results, I am a ISFP personality. Ok below is the short brief about me:

Life as an ISFP (Introvert, Sensor, Feeler, Perceiver)
People of this type tend to be: kind, humble, and highly empathetic; thoughtful, faithful, and affectionate with those they know well; sensitive to criticism and easily hurt; quiet, soft-spoken, and gentle; adaptable, responsive, and curious; realistic and down to earth.
The most important thing to ISFPs is feeling peaceful and harmonious with the people and places that matter most to them.


Great careers for ISFPs
Here are just a few popular and often satisfying careers for people whose Personality Type is ISFP. (Hhmmm and I noticed that all of these below listed jobs all needed alot of human touch in it. Guess I am kinda in an appropriate job now)

• Primary care physician

• Designer: interior / landscape
• Massage therapist
• Customer service representative
• Fashion designer
• Chef
• Paralegal [whatever it is. I dunno (-_-")]

• Appreciate my gentle, nurturing nature and ability to find joy in simple pleasures.
• Express your love and affection freely and often!
• Demonstrate your devotion in thoughtful actions.
• Try not to nag me about order, or force decisions too quickly.
• Above all - Show me you love me exactly the way I am.

• They are affectionate, caring, and loyal,
• but are also extremely sensitive and are easily hurt or rejected.
• While they are observant, quiet, and gentle, they tend not to see the implications of their actions and may become overwhelmed with large tasks.

What works with ISFPs:

• hold and snuggle them a lot;
• speak to them with a soft and gentle voice;
• give your full attention when they speak to you
• support their feelings and allow them to express themselves in their own time and style
• model assertiveness and create an atmosphere where they are safe to practice these budding skills

Parents of ISFPs: they'll know you really love them when you...buy them clothing made of silk, velvet, or velour, or bring home a pet


SpeedReading ISFPs
The key to success lies in your ability to quickly size others up, and speak their language. Here are just a few clues for SpeedReading (understanding) and SpeedReaching (communicating with) ISFPs.

• gentle, soft-spoken, and modest
