Nurses: what's your Myers-Briggs classification??

Diary here - just curious to see what everyone else is.

I am an ISTJ - What are you?

Specializes in LTC.

If you don't know your Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory type, you can go to the following website and take a similar "test." Even though I know my Myers-Briggs type, I took it out of curiosity. It took me about 5 minutes, and it did result in the same answer I have gotten from the Myers Briggs Personality Inventory. Don't be fearful. The descriptions of all of the personaly types are positive.

i get a different result every time i take one of these tests.

i played around tonight with some different tests, and got a different result each time.

http://www.humanmetrics.com was intj (67, 12, 38, 33)

http://www.similarminds.com was infj (82, 68, 68, 56)

http://www.kisa.ca/personality/ was istj (93, 50, 50, 73)

http://www.teamtechnology.co.uk/mmdi-re/mmdi-re.htm was isfp

when i read the descriptions, i most identified with intj, intp, and isfj.

so, i'm definitly introverted, beyond that, i guess a pretty even mix.

Wow, am I the only INTJ here? My numbers broke down as I (56), N (38), T (1), J (1).

My suggested careers were natural science, engineering, law, or library sciences. Nothing about nursing. LOL--oh well, I'm in nursing school and loving it (or in theory I'm loving it). Ha ha.

I'm an INTJ!! ;)

hmm.. I just took the test again and got istp. Maybe my husband is changing me? I've always been somewhat cold and logical and not so compassionate. Hes empathetic/compassionate/loving/caring/amazing!! I never used to cry because I'd try to be tough... but ever since I met him, I've become a total softy.. cuz i feel safe with him. ;)

LOL, I'm sure that as we mature, change, have varying experiences, that the categories will change. And yes, the people in our lives can change us (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse). Sounds like your hubby has been a good influence on you, hehe.

I was a totally different kind of person before I met and eventually felt safe with my husband too. So you're not alone!

Every day I feel so lucky to have him in my life!! I don't feel either one of us has to change, but I love that I feel so safe to FEEL because of him. If I can make him as happy as he makes me that would be amazing!! I was really missing all this my life. ;)
