The Personality Test

A few days ago, we were made to take a personality test. The result i got was ENFP, " The Campaigner". I'll be discussing my results.


Some strengths the test says I have are that I'm curious, observant, energetic and enthusiastic, I'm an excellent communicator, know how to relax, and that I'm very popular and friendly. I'd say I would agree with most of these results. I'm extremely curious, energetic, and enthusiastic. I really enjoy speaking to people, and I would consider myself as friendly. I don't however, know how to relax. I usually stress out over the tiniest things, and it takes my friends and family's methods to calm me down, which usually works.

The weaknesses the test says I have are that I have poor practical skills, I can't really concentrate, I over think things, I get stressed easily, I'm highly emotional, and I'm independent to a fault. Again, I agree with most of these things. I really overthink things. Although I enjoy talking to many groups of people, a comment I remember saying would stay in my mind, and I would overthink if they felt as if I have offended them. I then feel the need to go on an essay long apology, which usually ends with them saying something like 'What? What are you talking about?' I also get stressed over the smallest of things, but most of the reasons I get stressed are test/quiz related. I am also very emotional. I once cried because I got less than an A on a test that I was so sure I would get everything right on. There are some things though that I don't agree with, like saying that I'm independent to a fault. Although I despise group projects with a passion, I sometimes find myself asking my friends and family for advice on what to do. In a way, I'm independent, but I know when to ask for help when I need it. I also find myself having trouble concentrating (except during classes and important events) because I find every little thing funny. I laugh at the dumbest things and once I start, I can't stop.

Apparently, ENFP personality types have a big circle of friends because their warmth and sincerity draws people in. They're open minded and put their all into their friendships, giving support and advice when needed. They also try to bring more reserved people out of their shells, and know that different people have different opinions. I agree with this. Every time someone even looks remotely sad, I constantly shower them with compliments and advice, understanding if they don't want me to tell them what's happening with them. I love hearing other people's opinions, because it shows me a new perspective to things that I might not have even thought of.

For career paths,"If there's a challenge ENFPs face when selecting a career, it isn't that they lack talent or options or drive, it's that there are so many things out there that are just cool." I really agree with this. There are SO many things I want to be. Some of these include being an actress, model, scientist/tinkerer, brain or heart surgeon, writer, photographer, debater, lawyer, marine biologist, chemist, musician, and so much more. All of these things just seem so amazing to do, and if someone were to ask me what was ONE thing I wanted to be, I would have trouble deciding because I have so many desires of what to become.
