Myers, Briggs and Mr. Pants



Well, Jessica and I just spent an entire hour taking our's and mr pants' personality tests online and we think the results are pretty right-on. Let me just say that with my ESFJ and Jessica's INFJ and Mr. P's ISTP we make quite a team. Here are just a few of the personality traits from mr. pants' quiz that really resounded with us.......

"Unlike most ESPs they do not present an impression of constant activity. On
the contrary, they lie dormant, saving their energy until a project or an
adventure worthy of their time comes along--and then they LAUNCH themselves
at it.

ISTPs are equally difficult to understand in their need for personal space,
which in turn has an impact on their relationships with others. They need to
be able to "spread out"--both physically and psychologically--which
generally implies encroaching to some degree on others, especially if they
decide that something of someone else's is going to become their next
project.

Because they need such a lot of flexibility to be as spontaneous as they
feel they must be, they tend to become as inflexible as the most rigid J
when someone seems to be threatening their lifestyle (although they usually
respond with a classic SP rage which is yet another vivid contrast to their
"dormant," impassive, detached mode)."
