I think the last time I took a Myers-Briggs I was an INTJ (Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinker, Judge), and it wasn't that many years ago. WTF?

Star Trek Personality Test -- Results

Myers-Briggs would say that you are an ESFP (Extrovert, Sensor, Feeler, Perceiver). In Star Trek language, you share a basic personality configuration with Kathryn Janeway and Tom Paris. Funny - Voyager is the Star Trek series I watched the least (actually, hardly at all).

People like you are warm and social, impulsive, and unpredictable. You have a great zeal for life and are intensely aware of the world around you. You love to play and respond quickly to people who will play with you. You respond well to appeals to common sense and poorly to being judged. Attempts to trap you will make you ready to flee or fight.

You're highly curious and talkative, but also gentle, sensitive and caring. You close down when people fail to provide you with input and you're frustrated with silences. You're most comfortable taking action, particularly in order to help or enjoy the company of others.

Your primary goal in life is freedom to be spontaneous and have fun. Your reward is to enjoy the company of others and know that they enjoy and appreciate you.

Good careers for your type include primary education teacher, starship captain, public relations specialist, tour operator, actor, marine biologist, and starship pilot.


Not that I don't believe the quiz results, and I didn't lie on any answers, but several of the questions struck me as not entirely appropriate. I answered a few of them as I would know I would have to handle a situation within a military environment such as Star Fleet, when it isn't how I might have answered it in "real life". Oh well, I forget where the quote comes from, but "life is not like Star Trek." I'm not an ESFP, but I play one on TV! :-)

I can see some of the traits of ESFP being more prominent in my personality these days than they once were, certainly. If I put much stock in these, maybe I'd take a "real" Myers-Briggs again to see what has really changed...
