ENFJ (or what 16Personalities calls Protagonist) -- same result as in years gone by from the full-blown Myers Briggs Type Inventory & then the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, whose ENFJ is dubbed the Teacher-Idealist.
You should have seen one of the assessment tools used by the career transition coach I worked with 10 years ago! It was reeeally long; a goodly number of the questions "forced" you to pick between two activities, two milieus, two whatevers & often, both choices were things I really enjoy for different reasons, would pick one on some days, but the other at other times. I did like the section where you ranked various items on lists because I didn't feel so "hemmed in" there. I don't now remember the name of that tool, but it was more thorough than the MBTI and Keirsey, and sussed out more nuances/complexities. So when the multi-page, single-spaced report came back from California, I thought it how it "nailed" me was almost creepily uncanny.
I wonder if we share the same kind of problem on these kinds of "tests." I always find myself thinking, "Doesn't partly agree actually mean you disagree more than you agree? So why isn't it on the disagree side of the range?"I have a terrible time taking the Meyers-Briggs - I can't answer the questions! I think I'm an INFP on MB. But I think my education, professional training, and age has changed me.
