I'm not a P just because I don't like to make plans. It's also because whenever I do make plans, they just about always fall through. I give up. There's not an ounce of willingness left within me to live a more structured life.

it's offical.
I'm an ENTP.
[Also, check the relationships page of that site for ENTP - the strengths and weaknesses are uncanny.]
A lot of people hear about Myers-Briggs and roll their eyes or look for the culprit who always brings it up in conversation. There are those who refuse to take the test, either because they don't want to be defined by a personality test or because they just don't feel like jumping on the "bandwagon." I really don't think it's a bandwagon, though. I think more than just our fellowship and a few people scattered here and there would have to be talking about this test in order for it to even have a bandwagon for people to jump on.
I really like the test, and I think it's important that people appreciate it for what it is. It's not a bunch of excuses for your behaviors and idiosyncrasies. "I can't help that I never want to hang out with you, I'm an introvert!" "Sorry, I didn't realize I hurt your feelings, I'm a T." "I can't help that I'm always late, I'm a P." None of these are valid. Myers-Briggs doesn't serve as a bucket of excuses from which you can pick out to toss at people when you mess up. The test is awesome because it identifies your strengths, what environments and circumstances you work best under, and it helps you realize how to best utilize your personality to thrive in any situation.
Besides that, it's just so cool to learn more about yourself. That's my favorite part. This test, and knowing what kind of personality I have, doesn't limit me; it enables me to fully explore and utilize the personality I have to successfully navigate school, relationships, work, projects and life in general. Go take it if you haven't already, and tell me what type you are!
