Sometimes I find that how people perceive me is not quite accurate. If you asked anyone who has ever met me, they would most likely tell you that I am an extreme extrovert with a type A personality.
However, almost all personality tests I have ever taken say that I am neither an extrovert nor an introvert. I am right in the middle. Hell, sometimes I even lean towards introvert. What could that possibly mean? Am I lying to myself or lying to others (or both)? I have a feeling I will be searching for the answer to that question for a long time.
To prove my point, I googled a quick personality test that is Jung-based (which tells you whether you are an introvert or extrovert, sensing or intuitive, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving). It turns out I am a sensing, feeling, judging introvert. Hmm.
A renowned person with a similar personality type as me…..is Mother Teresa. Maybe that answers my previous question. Clearly I am lying to myself. I am about as saintly as St. Nicholas. (However, I will note that Mother Teresa said one of my favorite things of all time: “By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world”).
As for careers that fit my personality, accountant does not show up on the list. Gasp. Do you mean to tell me that I am not the type of person who would enjoy accounting?? This is truly a revelation!
Anyways….you can find the test that I took at http://www.41q.com/. Let me know what you are :)!
