DAPPLED THINGS WANTS TO KNOW the Meyers-Briggs scores of St. Blog’s parishioners. Apparently this is my type:

Your personality type is INTP.

Introverted (I) 64% Extraverted (E) 36%

Intuitive (N) 77% Sensing (S) 23%

Thinking (T) 55% Feeling (F) 45%

Perceiving (P) 68% Judging (J) 32%

I’m pretty sure when I took the quiz last night, though, I came out as INTJ rather than INTP, and tilted far more strongly toward thinking over feeling than I did today. So, not sure how useful this is really.

Part of the problem is that the quiz offers, as its third “none of the above” alternative, “I’m really in between.” Sometimes that was the right “third answer” for me, but quite often a better third choice would have been, “No, I really have a lot of both elements” (“a lot of both” seems very different from “somewhere in the middle” to me) or “I don’t know.”

But hey, Father asked, so I answered….
