My MBTI - ISFP

The other day my friend LIB was talking about his personality trait and about MBTI (Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator). It got me thinking and eventually lead me to google it. I wasnt able to remember it perfectly but proper searching eventually led me to it.

Its fascinating as to how a series of YES / NO questions can actually eventually determine your personality trait. So whats my personality trait? Before that, I'd like to say - if anyone would like to take the test please click here. Click on the "DO IT" button on the "Jung Typology Test" side of the page.

Here's the result of my test.




So there it is....I am a ISFP (Introverted-Sensing-Feeling-Perceiving) person.

And my type analysis as given by typelogic.com is ...

ISFPs live in the here and now. Their impulses yearn to be free, and are often loosed when others least expect it. The ISFP who continually represses these impulses feels 'dead inside' and may eventually cut and run. (One ISFP friend has become nonambulatory within the past few years. He will still, on impulse, leave home in the middle of the night and go to Las Vegas or wherever, regardless of the difficulties of his physical condition.)
I can so easily identify myself with this

ISFPs may be quite charming and ingratiating on first acquaintance, flowing with compliments which may (or may not) be deserved. On other occasions, the same individual may be aloof and detached. Some ISFP males are fiercely competitive, especially in sport or table games, and may have great difficulty losing. This competitive nature, also seen in other SP types, sometimes fosters 'lucky,' 'gut' feelings and a willingness to take risks.
I rely on my gut feeling a lot

And finally my analysis is....



I perfectly agree with this analysis. This is what I am.
