Did I mention...
Hey, I forgot to tell you yesterday, I was in an earthquake. During second period the floor in my classroom shook, and I looked up right as a student in my class gave me a horrified look of confusion. He said he felt the table shake. I also heard the tv hanging from the ceiling creak from shaking. Not too many people noticed it. It was a 3.1 on the Richter scale. Cool, eh?

Daemon had something in his post about what he found in Katt's blog, so I hunted it down, and this is what I found:

My Bloginality is ENFP!!!

I read a description of this personality, and it's SO TRUE! Not only did it describe me to a tee, but it also made me feel better. I know for a fact that I have great ideas, I just rarely follow through on them. Now I know it's partially b/c of my personality type! Now if I can only convince my boss and fellow co-workers of this! Check this out:


General: ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole. They want to both help (at least, their own definition of "help") and be liked and admired by other people, on bo th an individual and a humanitarian level. They are interested in new ideas on principle, but ultimately discard most of them for one reason or another.

Social/Personal Relationships: ENFPs have a great deal of zany charm, which can ingratiate them to the more stodgy types in spite of their unconventionality. They are outgoing, fun, and genuinely like people. As SOs/mates they are warm, affectionate (l ots of PDA), and disconcertingly spontaneous. However, attention span in relationships can be short; ENFPs are easily intrigued and distracted by new friends and acquaintances, forgetting about the older ones for long stretches at a time. Less mature E NFPs may need to feel they are the center of attention all the time, to reassure them that everyone thinks they're a wonderful and fascinating person.

ENFPs often have strong, if unconvential, convictions on various issues related to their Cosmic View. They usually try to use their social skills and contacts to persuade people gently of the rightness of these views; his sometimes results in their negle cting their nearest and dearest while flitting around trying to save the world.
Work Environment: ENFPs are pleasant, easygoing, and usually fun to work with. They come up with great ideas, and are a major asset in brainstorming sessions. Followthrough tends to be a problem, however; they tend to get bored quickly, especially if a newer, more interesting project comes along. They also tend to be procrastinators, both about meeting hard deadlines and about performing any small, uninteresting tasks that they've been assigned. ENFPs are at their most useful when working in a group w ith a J or two to take up the slack.

ENFPs hate bureaucracy, both in principle and in practice; they will always make a point of launching one of their crusades against some aspect of it.

ENFPs sometimes can be blindsided by their secondary Feeling function. Hasty decisions based on deeply felt values may boil over with unpredictable results. More than one ENFP has abruptly quit a job in such a moment.


So if you're still with me....See, if I quit my job one day by surprise, it's not my fault, it's just my personality type!

Okay, you guys have a great day, and I'll see you soon!

    You are an ENFP!
    As an ENFP, you are Extraverted, iNtuative, Feeling , Perceiving.
    This makes your primary focus on Extraverted Intuition with Introverted Feeling.

    This is defined as a NF personality, which is part of Carl Jung's Idealist (Identity Seeking) type, and more specifically the Champions or Inspirer.

    As a weblogger, you may not be consistant in posts. Although, if you find a specific focus on their journal or a very flexible manner of writing, it may be more fufilling. Because you are warm and see so many posibilities in life, you may inspire others to follow in your footsteps

    what does this mean?? LOL j/k

    FUN! Here is my results. It totally suits me to a "T" as well.

    You are an ISFJ!
    As an ISFJ, you are Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging.
    This makes your primary focus on Introverted Sensing with Extraverted Feeling.

    This is defined as a SJ personality, which is part of Carl Jung's Guardian (Security Seeking) type, and more specifically the Protectors or Nurturer.

    In blogging, your journal will always be immaculate and have a touch of style. You may also feel overwhelmed because you want to be a part of everything going on. Because of your wonderful memory, other bloggers may come to you to ask about things you posted months before.

    That describes you very well. I'm an ISFJ (same as Karla). We're complete opposites!
