Having Joe as a roommate has been great – we dance around the apartment with shaker eggs, cook interesting concoctions and have people over for dinner (last night we had Jeremy over for peanut butter okra curry, kidney beans in a tomato-yogurt sauce, and breaded chicken), therapeutically write, and have introspective conversations customary to being abroad. Joe re-introduced me to the Myers-Briggs test, a personality test centering around four trait groups (16 types total): whether you are an introvert or extravert, think via sensing or intuitively (practical or a theoretical thinker), are a thinker or feeler (logical or emotional), and are a judger or perceiver (planner or more spontaneous). It seems to be an interesting way to group people, and describes personalities with seemingly more precision than say, horoscope groups.
Last night we looked up famous individuals in our Myers-Briggs types. Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr, and Dr. Seuss were all ENFP’s, like Joe. Jeremy got Jimmy Carter, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Mahatma Gandhi, all INFJ’s.
I got Britney Spears, Ashton Kutcher, Michael Jackson, and Dan Rather, all fellow ISFP’s.
