I know this is an often-used test. I've taken it three times since h.s. I am mostly an ENFP, sometimes an ISFP. Anyone else know their type? I wonder what other types people on the forum are, and if there are some patterns predominant among nurses. I'm sooo curious! Wheeeee!

Re: Myers-Briggs Type

I used to know my type. I was an introverted something or another. It would be interesting to take it today to see how I've changed over the last 15 years or so since I've taken it.

Re: Myers-Briggs Type

My father in law is really into this stuff. I took the test a while ago and it's pretty accurate. I'm an ENFJ.

I found this website where you can take a shortened test and see your results for free. If your interested...

After you take the test, this website has good descriptions of each type and what it means, etc.

It will be interesting to se if nurses tend to be certain types or if it is very mixed.

Re: Myers-Briggs Type

I've taken this test over the years and I always come out the same. INTJ. So dead-on correct for me. I guess it's really rare for women, something like 2% of the population? Anyone else out there an INTJ? We can be difficult!

Re: Myers-Briggs Type

I took the test before Nursing School, in 2003. I am an INFP. My N and P are off the charts!!! Funny you bring this up, because I was just lately wondering how it may apply to my work. The M-B explanation of my personality type made so much sense for me. Being new to nursing, I have begun to think I should re-read Please Understand Me, (The name of the author is escaping me; the book teaches you what to look for in your communication style and preference, and how to listen to types that are different from you). I will watch this thread closely, thanks for bring it up!!!
