Usually I come out as pretty balanced on the introvert/extrovert scale. In fact, people often seem surprised to discover that I have an ounce of introvert in me.
Do you think this is a function of an eight-day silent retreat?
(Oh, and the Geena? An oft-used internet ID of mine, left over from when a friend and I temporarily called ourselves Geena and Susan (as in Thelma and Louise). I was tired of always being the brunette academic, so I decided that, online at least, I could look like Geena Davis. Guess that's the dreamer/visionary me!)
Whoa! You're right--we are really opposites. I wouldn't have thought we'd test out this differently, would you?
ReplyDeleteWow, I would have guessed more E and more T. I wonder how situational the result can be?
ReplyDeleteI think that retreat is definitely showing up in your results. The gift of stillness and reflection tend to linger and make us want more. I wish I had that P stead of my J!
ReplyDeleteI used to come out much more T and J, as well as E. I think I've mellowed a good deal in my old age.
ReplyDeletethey say you can't change your meyers briggs code, but I think they're wrong...I'm INFP, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI know that they say the results are not situational but I think coming back from a long retreat doesn't qualify as a "situation". The effects are more permanent.
ReplyDeleteI have always tested as INFP, but when I took this test I tested as INTP. I think that's because the test focuses on work, and my computer job requires more T skills.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I DO believe that the frame of mind that you're in when you take the test makes a difference.
I'm an INFP too...
