Earlier this week, my team leader at work decided to do something a little outside of the box and have the team do a version of the Briggs Myers Personality Test. For those of you reading at home, it is a test comprised of several situations that asks you to choose, based on your preferences, and then compiles these behaviors into one of 16 personality types. It then breaks it down to a general introduction, your strengths and weaknesses, career choices, how you behave in romantic relationships and friendships, your workplace habits and so forth. 

I was skeptical, at first, because I like to believe that we are too complex to be filtered down to 16 personalities – I was so wrong!

As I read through the descriptions of the various behaviors for an ENFJ, I felt like someone had been following me and taking notes. I have found myself reflecting on this for the past several days and I have come up with nothing. All I can say is that I have on paper a pretty accurate breakdown of who I am: a Protagonist. I have recently initiated a move towards professional development and this quiz has given me something of a map… and a mirror. I’d love for you, the reader, to take this test and let me know what your outcome is. Do you agree with it? Let me know.
