Your Score: ESFJ-The Provider


You scored 72% I to E, 73% N to S, 28% F to T, and 47% J to P!




Providers, a subgroup of the Guardians, take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, as well as being quite sociable. Wherever they go, Providers take up the role of social contributor, happily giving their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, that traditions are supported and developed, and that social functions are a success. Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others. This is not to say that Providers are afraid to express their own emotional reactions. They are quick to like and dislike--and don't mind saying so--tending to put on a pedestal whatever or whoever they admire, and to come down hard on those people and issues they don't care for. You share your type with 10% of the population.

As a romantic partner, you work hard to nurture and protect your relationships. You go to great lengths to maintain harmony and are motivated to resolve conflicts. You have a very clear idea of what is important to you and do best when your partner shares those same values. You want your partner to be loving, committed, and willing to support your frequently overwhelming feelings and reactions. You feel most appreciated when your partner is kind, considerate, and helpful, and compliments you often on your hard work in their behalf.

Your Score: INFP - the Healer
You scored 45% I to E, 26% N to S, 9% F to T, and 78% J to P!

You are more introverted than extroverted. You are more intuitive than observant, you are more feeling based than thinking based, and you prefer to go with the flow rather than having a plan. Your type can best be summarized by the word "Healer", which belongs to the larger group of idealists. You have a capacity for caring that is deeper than most. You strive for unity, are fascinated by the battles between good and evil, and can be something of an idealist. Only 1% of the population shares your type.
As a romantic partner, you are usually supprtive and nuturing, however, you have a high need for individuality. Harmony is extremely important to you as you are very affected by conflict and tension, which also makes you resist confronting your partner directly about problems. When you get angry, you usually blame yourself, rather than your partner. You can also be stubborn and unyielding when you feel you are being criticized or mistreated. You feel the most appreciated when your partner listens to you carefully. You need to be understood. You need to hear your partner express their feelings, the more often, the better.

How do you feel about this? Pretty accurate?

Sort of. The test was sort of problematic in that for many of the choices, my answer would definitely be both. For example, when they say "you prefer to go with the flow rather than having a plan," that's not accurate. I'm the sort to have a worked out plan, but then abandon the plan or modify it to go with the flow. We recently filled out a professional evaluative test for someone that was very similar to this one, but instead of either or, the questions asked you to put the person on a continuum. That works better for me, since I tend to test balanced (hoho) between right and left brain, verbal and mathematical, etc.

Yeah, I get what you're saying.

The first chunk of text you got really sounds like you to me. Towards the end I wasn't as sure because I don't actually know how you are in a relationship.

On some kinds of tests I test balanced between the two brain halves also.

Funny, the first part didn't feel right or not quite right, again mostly the bit about being described as one end of a continuum when I'm really spreadeagled between them. I mean, "feeling based rather than thinking based" sounds wrong for someone who thinks as much as I do... though I do tend to make decisions based on feelings (feelings about thoughts!). And I would love to be/think of myself as a Healer, but I'm really more of a cook and a caretaker, I think.

On the other hand, the second part is quite accurate, at least the part about the importance of harmony and the need to be listened to and understood. Of course, I'm *never* stubborn or unyielding... actually I don't think I am, but I'm pretty sure Pete would say I'm stubborn. How a rock would know stubborn when it kicked it, I don't know.

Oddly enough, your paragraphs seem to me to describe *me* pretty well... and I'm surprised by how different our scores are. These tests always drive me crazy. I want to reverse engineer them and figure out how they did their analysis. Think much, me?

Yeah, I guess just the "healer" part and the capacity for caring, and the striving for unity, those are the things I thought described you. Yes, caretaker works also, but I like healer better!

"How a rock would know stubborn when it kicked it, I don't know." Ell Oh Ell.

I identify personally with "feeling based rather than thinking based" even though I do a lot of each. Because I know that, for instance, I will research and analyze a big purchase to death before spending any money, but in the end when it comes down to 2 or 3 good choices I will buy the thing that's the right color or shape or has some other quality that appeals to me emotionally. That sort of thing.

I can see you in mine, too, definitely. But we've always known we had a lot in common in some of those ways! :-)
