    Anyone done it? Been through it with my new job and I'm categorized as ESTJ. Alongside Maggie and Saddam..ffs...they reckon there's science behind it...genuinely interested on peoples thoughts on it.

    Anyone fancy profiling themselves, here's a link:

    I used to be a massive sceptic. But having used it for some time I think it nails it and is bang on. Sorry

    I've studied this profiling and I must admit that I was sceptical at first but since my early scepticism I've been converted. I now think it's pretty good.

    INFP like Shakespeare, cobain and morrissey supposedly. Fairly skeptical about it to be fair but thanks for the procrastination fodder!

    I'm INFP.

    Like Shakespeare, JFK and Scott Bakula. Cool.

    And Neil Diamond.


    Introvert (3%), Intuitive (3%), Feeling (38%), Perception (13%).

    Whatever all that means.


    Summat about looking at the world in wonder, not following set plans and caring for others.

    Did incarnations of it many times in my working life. I think I usually came out something like your ESTJ preferences. My recollection is that both myself and colleagues could shift slightly on the grid when taking on new roles with different responsibilities.

    I wasn't a great fan of all the management stuff - even though I took an MBA in connection with my last and longest role. But the theory/concept which assisted/explained most was Transactional Analysis. This helped in understanding work and (dare I say it) family/domestic relationships!

    I got E'JIT

    "Your a fecking nut job - a complete loose cannon.

    How you manage to get dressed every morning without your mum is the constant conversation topic amongst family and friends.

    Your a disaster zone.

    Go to bed now and don't get back up again - it's probably best for everyone before you actually take your own eye out with that spatula."


    **** me that's bang on.

    INFJ alongside Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Jr and Nelson Mandela.
    Sounds about right ;)

    Top 3 suggested careers: social worker, education, librarian.
    First one sounds very fulfilling but is extremely stressful, I've just escaped the second one and I'm currently trying to embark on the third.

    Seems legit to me!

    Scarily accurate, the Mrs has just ABSOLUTLEY confirmed everything on there.

    Although I take umbrage to being the same as Celine... f'ing Deon.

    But happy with sir Walter Raleigh.

    Boom!

    Myers Briggs is a very reputable profiling system used by a **** load of corporates. Ive done it a few times and its pretty accurate. Theres many that do similar and OPQ is probably the most accurate Ive used personally.

    Anyone who wants to try and understand their own physiological make up, I would definitely advocate it. I'd be interested to see the results on both tests on Hemsworth and mr x.

    Get ready for my Facebook message.
