I always knew I wasn't THAT good with people, but come on...

So, I linked to this from my uncle's blog, and found it to be very interesting. I'm curious to see what personality styles other people are. So, if you have time and the willingness, let's see your style. Jung typology test. Here's my results


Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:
very expressed introvert
moderately expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
moderately expressed judging personality

    I am: INTP

    * slightly expressed introvert
    * moderately expressed intuitive personality
    * distinctively expressed thinking personality
    * moderately expressed perceiving personality

    I am assuming that one of those things implies that I am apathetic to what this all means.

    Being an introvert doesn't mean you aren't good with people. It just means that you draw more energy from within yourself--being by yourself or with only a few people vs. drawing your energy from outside yourself, from being with a lot of people, for instance. :)

    You are:

    * slightly expressed extravert
    * slightly expressed intuitive personality
    * distinctively expressed thinking personality
    * slightly expressed judging personality

    Everytime I've done a similar assessment, I've been a high Thinker. I'm usually more sensing than intuitive, but this shows it's only slightly to intuitive.

    Learning more about ourselves is so much fun! :)

    i was going to put it on here but I didn't open it up in another screen so I lost it. I didn't want to have to go and answer all the questions again at that particular moment. I love things like that!! How do you hit enter on here to go to the next line without it posting your comment-that is actually what happened.

  • txbowler
    I think you can only go to the next line within a comment if you have gold. Seems like I had the same problem before.

    Congrats! (I recommend humming during diaper changes instead of singing. That way your mouth is closed - just in case.) :)

  • marla
    YAY! :) :) Although it's not surprising, considering how many males are in your mother's family (says the only natural granddaughter on that side).

    Also, if you upload the photo to another site (say, your Kodak album) that gives the photo a URL (http:// etc.), then you can link the photo by putting this (without all the underscores):

creatures from the deep

The sharks were circling before 7 this morning. It's like I never even left the office. But it's ok, I carry a big oar, and I beat them back. Although, I have a sneaking feeling that they went to get reinforcements, and plan to mount a secondary offensive.
[subject change]
This Thursday is the day that we are supposed to find out the sex of the baby. I'll post my own sonogram pics, if the technology doesn't elude me. I plan to alter them to protect the modesty of the innocent. Hopefully they won't gross anyone
out.
  • txwhittlec
    Cute picture of you and Heather to the left. We'll look forward to hearing the baby's gender this week! :)

    HI! Why didn't you come camping this year, young man???
    by melissakae at 11/28/07 3:25PM

another decade

Well, that's it, I don't know how this happened, but it has been 10 years today since I got out of the Marines. I don't think I need to say anything about time flying when you're having fun, because there were a lot of those years that I was definitely NOT having fun. Although I was doing things at the time, that the world tells us are fun. You know, it's funny looking back, when I enlisted, I enlisted for 5 years. I remember thinking about how old I'd be at the end of my contract. I couldn't fathom being a 23 year old, and how mature I'd be by then. Boy I got that part wrong. So here we are today. I work in an office. I tell trucks where to go, and what to do. Blech. I feel like I need to be making something or doing something, not facilitating others who do make stuff and do stuff. Of course, I used to do those things, I took flat pieces of steel and turned them into water trucks with my dad, I have hauled heavy machinery all over the place, and they don't pay as well. So is that the tradeoff then? Give up a little personal satisfaction for a little more money? Don't get me wrong, my job's not awful, it's just not great; however it does allow me to be home at night, every night, and not be laid up in a motel somewhere, on the way to deliver somebody's bulldozer. So maybe that's the tradeoff instead, give up lonely nights away from home for some quality time with your family.

    And that's a great trade!

    thanks, good to be seen.

  • meggies
    YOU'RE 33!! oh my goodness...just kidding. Maybe you and Phil should start a business building stuff. I think it makes everyone happier for you to be home at night in case you want to go out with your awesome friends-hem, hem. Just a little reminder-don't forget the air mattress on Sunday. Thank you so much for letting us borrow it!!
    by meggies at 11/15/07 5:56PM
  • marla
    yeah, that spending time with your family thing... ;-)

    And that's so hard to believe about 10 years...I should scan some of your old Marine photos *grin*
    by marla at 11/15/07 6:34PM
  • mikejohnsontx
    Well, at least I'm still younger than Heather, Oh yeah...
    by mikejohnsontx at 11/15/07 6:58PM
  • mikejohnsontx
    And Marla, by "scan", do you mean look at really quickly???
    by mikejohnsontx at 11/15/07 7:04PM

    Yeah...yeah...hahahahaha They're neat pictures!

    Hey, I don't think that's fair for you to say Heet's older than you when she's not on here to defend herself! Speaking of, why isn't she on here?

    Hey old man ;) Yep, you got me pegged right - how in the world are you two? Yes, the tradeoff is worth it - just indulge in a hobby that involves a tractor or a hammer or a furnace or, whatever.
