  When I hear the critic of the Myers -Briggs test, ""When we put people in boxes where they can only be one or another, we miss the opportunity to see people as diverse as they are"  I absolutely agree.  I think that too many people have put too much value in tests like this.  When we put ourselves into categories, we lose the best part that makes us human...diversity.  We are undoubtedly the most diverse group of beings on this planet, and that is what makes humans so great.  Honesty, it does not matter whether you are an ESFJ or an INTP,  we are judged by our strength of character and the attitudes we live by.

Apart from this, i believe that ESFJ is a perfect fit for my personality. I am a very outgoing person and definitely focus my attention on the outer world of people and things.  I am also well organized.  I love making a schedule!  Finally, i also tend to make decisions based on my values.  It was a interesting experience taking this test, then to see who else fit which personality type.  I was actually shocked to see so many extroverts and so few introverts.  

Anyways, Even though we may put too much weight on these sort of personality tests, it was still fun to take the test and see how accurately i was judged.

  1. Hey! I'm a ESFJ too! It's all about our schedule and being organized! And I agree, we should not out ourselves into categories! We need to be unique regardless of what are type is.

  2. I disagree, kinda... I believe that the MBTI is supposed to help us understand ourselves and others and that it isn't supposed to put people into boxes. But...... outside of the MBTI, I think people still do. See you in CTW!

  3. ESFJ 4 LYFE...haha

    And I agree in that we put too much weight into these sorts of tests, although I think that for certain applications they can have some value. Especially for things like group work.
