Personality Profiles

I just love psychology and reading all non-fiction self-development books. Quite a fun little exercise to do, is to discover your Myers-Briggs Personality Type. A good place to find the questionnaire is at: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp. You can make some interesting intra- and inter- personal discoveries when reading about your type and other types. The basic premise is that there are four areas in which people can differ:
1) Extraversion(E) - Intraversion(I)
2) Intuition(N) - Sensing(S)
3) Thinking(T) - Feeling(F)
4) Judging(J) - Perceiving(P)
You can read about these in more detail here: http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html#Inventory.
I have taken many of these tests and seem to come up as INFP most commonly, though I'm near the middle on many of the scales meaning I'm not clearly one particular type. INFP is described here: http://www.personalitypage.com/INFP.html. Here is where you can read about the 16 personality profiles: http://www.personalitypage.com/high-level.html.
