Meyers Brigg, Have you done it?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I know I have said this before, but I am currently in a new grad residency program in the emergency department. Recently we took a personality color test which I found to be super cool.

The test was made by Carl Chung, I believe his name is, and he determined that each person had a certain temperament that they were born with and it was associated with a color. I got the color orange and many of the other nurse residents who were going to the ER also got orange.

We each did this color test so that we could determine what personality we each had. Prior to doing this I had done the Meyers Briggs personality test and got an ESTP.

Have any of you guys done the Meyers Briggs? If so, what did you get? Most of my friends got an I instead of an E and we are all nurses.

Do you guys feel like your personality determines what area you will be in?? As stated I got an E and I am in the ER. So is there any correlation?? I know I love the pace and acuity of the ER, so I just wanted to see if there were any correlation between your Meyers Briggs and the unit you work in.

INTJ- "The Architect" is what I always get.

Is there a free version of the test? The I went to the Meyers-Brigg website and it was $49.99!!

ISFJ here.

Dependable, considerate, and loyal to those closest to you, you have a firm grasp of the factual realities that lie before you as well as an eye for detail, each of which make you naturally gravitate towards others and their emotional needs. Nurturing and attentive, you tend to be quick to assume responsibility and to help out as soon as you see some task that could aid others. Though your surroundings rarely notice it, you tend to carry a lot of responsibility. All too often it is only when you are missing that others notice the immense effort that you usually put in to make sure everything around you is running properly and that everyone is looked after and feels at ease. Conscientious, thorough, and perhaps a bit perfectionistic, you are not one to impulsively chase after new and uncertain prospects before having finished the endeavor at hand. You tend to find a deep sense of satisfaction in working hard to achieve your goals and in selflessly supporting others, demonstrating that you care through your actions and preferring to lead by your quiet, dignified example.

INFP - psych nurse. I did the Meyers Briggs when contemplating career change years ago. I also did the Highland Ability Battery, which was helpful but expensive.

I'm an INTJ. I work as a wound nurse/RN Supervisor in sub-acute rehab.

Specializes in Midwife, OBGYN.

Another INTJ and I have taken the Myer's Briggs many times over the years and it has consistently come back with that personality type.

I also like the Enneagram test which I think is more up to date with regards to traits linked to different personalities. It also doesn't just give you 1 type but a primary and 2 secondaries since we might have more then one.
