Myers-Briggs Personality Type

When I've taken it, I was pretty much in the middle of all the scales. Really seems to throw the test administrators off when they get the results. (Don't box me in, dude.)

you're divergent aren't you?

We use myers-briggs like every day. It drives my husband crazy. I've always tested as an ENF... (look, a bird!)... P... (the visionary/the champion)

But my E/I has always been borderline. I may be an I these days. My T/F are also pretty close. N and P are off the charts.

How fun. I'm interested in how it affects our weight loss choices, techniques, and success. In my experience, I'm an emotional eater, I dislike measuring/tracking and planning my meals and workouts (we free-spirits like to keep our options open). I love going out to eat and deciding what to eat on a whim. These are all things I'm working on. I've made significant progress making peace with tracking and measuring.

On the positive side, I love trying new food; I'll try [almost anything] anything once. This makes it a little easier to "learn to like" healthy vegetables and things.

Oddly enough, I'm not very ENFP at the gym. I want to get in and out quickly and prefer my workouts to be efficient so I can get home to my family. I love running outside more than anything and I lift heavy because it gets the job done. I do NOT like to exercise in a group or with a buddy... I think I exhaust the limits of my "E" at work.

I'm actually certified to deliver and interpret the results (I'm a Human Resources dude). The MBPT is one of the most statistically valid instruments of its kind. It doesn't reflect ability, instead our true preferences when we are what they call our "shoes off" selves.

I'm an ISTJ (opposite from the OP on all 4 scales except the first). Completely consistent with how I approach my H&F goals, logically, detail oriented, decisions based on data.

Interesting post @HannaSusi , well done! I'll be curious to see if anyone takes you up on it?

I think I'd do well with a trainer who was an ISTJ. My favorite boss was an ESTJ. We affectionately argued a lot but he made sure my big ideas got done.

ENFP

What the hell is going on here ?

It says..The INTP personality type is fairly rare, making up only three percent of the population, which is definitely a good thing for them, as there's nothing they'd be more unhappy about than being "common". INTPs pride themselves on their inventiveness and creativity, their unique perspective and vigorous intellect. Usually known as the philosopher, the architect, or the dreamy professor, INTPs have been responsible for many scientific discoveries throughout history.

ESFP-A (ENTERTAINER)

MIND - Extraverted 64%
ENERGY - Observant 8%
NATURE - Feeling 61%
TACTICS - Prospecting 65%
IDENTITY - Assertive 16%

“The Executive” (ESTJ-T)
Strength of individual traits: Extraverted: 16%, Observant: 69%, Thinking: 65%, Judging: 81%, Turbulent: 36%.
I think this is accurate at a core level, but a lot of things are off, probably because I have OCD which effects decisions , reliability, and focuses a lot of my attention inward at myself. I also feel like something changed in me sometime and I am willing to cross a lot of lines most people won't. Those lines of what is acceptable behaviour in a civilized society.
My training, diet, and supplementation routine is pretty well planned out and dedication and motivation are automatic. It doesn't even feel like a choice, more like a personality trait. I am willing to push the limit and do whatever I feel I have to do to progress in my physique pursuits. I think the only thing that compromises this drive is the OCD. It is helpful in some aspects of drive and determination though.

infp right here!!

This was my results for this test ENFP-T.
I am an Idealist in the Keisery personality test, so I feel like they are pretty similar results.
