Why do I always come out as Mother Theresa? *wail*

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] liveandinperson

I don't love to give. I really don't. I just want the world to be a better place. There's a distinction! One is a characteristic of one's personality and the other is a conviction.

Don't worry. It called me the same thing.

Hehe, do you do it out of convictionor do you just really "love to give"?

[identity profile] watchtowel.livejournal.com 2005-04-28 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you know the answer to that.

On second thought I thought you might misinterpret that reply. Doing something, only out of conviction would be very draining, if that was the only reason I did it. I really do enjoy giving. It really is stimulating and recharging for me. I really do watch people and try to find ways to show kindness. I really do try to get to know people so I can better pray for them. The get to know them part can be hard for me, and take a long time, but there are great rewards for my effort. Think I told you once, that I consider myself to be a hopeless encourager. I may not be like you in this.

Maybe it's my 1ness, but I do it because I'm bossy and people SHOULD NOT TREAT OTHER PEOPLE THAT WAY. So for me, it's kind of conviction, but kind of bossyness for social good.

Does that make sense?

1ness? jness? Have you ever looked at a site called "INFP or INFJ, A Closer Look"? http://members.aol.com/macvjv/INFJorINFP.htm If you really are an INFJ, then your statements make perfect sense. :~)

:-P

I was referring to the enneagram. Good point - it's probably my Jness too ;-)

*Bossy big sister to the world here*

Oh. I'm probably a 9w1, except when I'm 4w5. Who knows. I haven't beat on that one in a while.

Girl, did I ever tell you YOU'RE CRAZY??? :-P

I think you're a 4. Maybe a 4w3?

See if that describes you. Don't feel bad about how blunt it is, it says I'm hard to live with. :-)

except that link def. did not work

[identity profile] niff.livejournal.com 2005-04-28 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The link or the type?

[identity profile] ingridiana.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
I tried the test, on 27 questions I came out as Mother Teresa , so I tried 9 questions and got Hitler, then another 9 questions, and got Einstein! What does that say about me?!

BTW what is 1ness? jness? I must have missed something...

[identity profile] niff.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
1ness refers to the Enneagram Type 1. Here's a link: http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/TypeOne.asp

Jness refers to the J(udging) part of the MBTI's INFJ: http://www.typelogic.com/infj.html

I'm an INFJ and an Enneagram type 1. :-) If you'd like some links to tests to find out what you are let me know! I'm moderately obsessed with personalty types!
