Personality and Weekly Report

Confession: I like to take personality quizzes, mostly just to see what results, more of a fun thing than for serious purposes.  I've said in the past that several tests have switched between ISFJ and INFJ when trying to determine which personality I have.  Since then, these tests have come together and agreed that I am an INFJ.  I sometimes question these tests because their questions are simple and often vary in my case, because I may choose to react differently in certain situations.  I guess I'm not as simple as I appear to be.  My last test I took was John's Personality Test...http://www.25quiz.com/ and it is another simple question test; however, it tells me my dominant 5 personality types...not just listing one.  I thought this was quite an interesting result as I have read all personalities and I do identify with certain things in each.  It did quite surprise me though that my second highest personality type was an extroverted type:

For all of those FROZEN fans out there, most people agree that Elsa was an INFJ and Anna an ENFJ*.  So I'm a 71% combination of both of them.  Might explain why I keep getting Elsa when I go on a whim and take a DISNEY personality quiz.  Used to be Cinderella in the old days prior to FROZEN, but these days I don't see that as much.  I have elements in my personality that relate to all of these types so as simple as the questions were, it was surprisingly close.  I think the ENFJ part must be my tendency to be spontaneous on occasion.

*Turns out most people believe Anna to be an ENFP.  Oh well, I could use an Anna though.

I often talk about something interesting that has happened to me during the week.  I'm not sure anything really memorable occurred this time.  I was thinking about one time when I was talking with a co-worker and she mentioned the temperature difference between the room she worked in and mine.  She made some comment about whether I got cold from the draft from the door and commenced to take a sip from her cup of coffee at the exact same time I retorted, "I'm always cool..."  She started laughing in the middle of a swallow that set her off on a choking fit for several minutes.  Oops ;).

I also got a good compliment from another co-worker this week.  She told me that every time she sees me it makes her happy.  She said I was always smiling, positive, and genuine....That was a nice change from the people she has to deal with in her particular job.  That was a nice thing to say because half the time people are telling me I don't smile enough, because I don't have that big toothy grin everyone thinks is happiness.  Toothy grins don't always say you're happy.  Some of those are masks.
