wonderment

Took this from a friend’s blog. Don’t dismiss it being so short. The questions are intuitive and clear cut. Usually the answers in these sort of personality tests are so vague, its no wonder that half the time they’re only 50% accurate.

This one pretty much describes me at this present moment … I sat for the real Myer-Briggs personality test 8 years ago (100 questions) and high on the list was my introvert nature. Could an extrovert have been behind the wings, just waiting to burst out?

I still prefer to remain silent and listen while people talk but I think you can be an extrovert yet be like that too. I know that I need people to bounce off ideas otherwise I’ll go cuckoo.

ESFJ-The Provider
Your Type is 100% Extroverted, 62% Observant, 18% Logical and 87% Structured

Providers, a subgroup of the Guardians, take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, as well as being quite sociable. Wherever they go, Providers take up the role of social contributor, happily giving their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, that traditions are supported and developed, and that social functions are a success.

Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others. This is not to say that Providers are afraid to express their own emotional reactions. They are quick to like and dislike, and don’t mind saying so, tending to put on a pedestal whatever or whoever they admire, and to come down hard on those people and issues they don’t care for.
