Personality Test!

I think that's probably true. Like I said, I don't put much stock into these kind of things.

That said, would you say it was pretty accurate in your current state or not?

Yes, I'd say it is pretty accurate for my current state...especially the "Turbulent" part; I'm a confused mess.

This is something that I've learned for myself as well. If you don't fight for your life, it will slip through your fingers. Never take it for granted, because whether or not you think it's a losing battle, it's worth fighting for.

I’ve life-hacked my way to lifestyle design unintentionally. One day I realized I could have the life I wanted. It wasn’t down the road or after retirement. I could have it now.

I had three criteria: It had to feed my person, purpose, or passions. If it didn’t it had to go. I could devote the time to something that mattered instead of wasting it. The more I streamlined the happier I became and my peace increased. And so did flow. If you haven’t read Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi I recommend him.

I began viewing my life through seasons. Each has its purpose which aids the greater mission. In season one I devoted myself to aiding the downtrodden and broken. Helping them heal and see the road ahead and walk it.

Now I’m in season two and the theme is impact. I’m shifting gears and lending a hand to works in process and others further ahead. Encouragement and collaborations are the norm. That carries me towards the third which is legacy. You’ve reached your summit and it propels you to greater works which benefit the ones behind you.

That’s my life blueprint in the nutshell. I wake up raring to go. That’s worth living for.

Very true. Enemies are inevitable when you take a stand for anything of value. Hmmm... Instead of "ruthless" though, I'd say that you are certain in your convictions, and you are willing to fight for them. That's an admirable thing.

Enemies are inevitable when you threaten someone’s position. Oftentimes it isn’t the stance that causes problems. It’s our approach or essence that unsettles them. The greater your esteem and confidence the more you’ll ruffle feathers. Unless you’re very combative we’re more likely to have adversaries because of who we are than what we’ve done to others.

I don’t have to fight for my convictions. There’s no one attempting to derail me or undermine my efforts. Team bella is a collective. It isn’t me going it alone and trying to make my mark on the world. Everyone has a role to play. I value their support. My success is theirs as well. I didn’t get here by myself. I had a lot help.

When you invite people into the process and allow them to share the journey they’re happy to assist. They’re excited for you. And you reward them. I’m blessed to have a solid network of love and support. It’s made everything sweeter.

I try to be level headed, and I try to be open minded enough to realise when I'm wrong and to adjust accordingly, but I definitely have my convictions too. I feel like personal growth should be a life long endeavor.

I agree. But that’s our thing. Some people are driven by other stuff. And that’s okay.

You may have simple joys, as do I, but "simple" isn't a word I'd use to describe you. I definitely think you are a very complex individual. I don't think anyone could be a "Commander" and not be.

You don’t have to be complex to be a commander. You must master yourself to be great. We’re our biggest hindrance. We have to be willing to ask hard questions.

• How am I helping the mission?
  
• How am I sabotaging my dreams?
  
• What am I lacking?
  
• What do I need to change but I’m too afraid to try?
  
• How do I want to be remembered?

If we face the music we’ll soar.

I don't put a lot of stock in these things, but they can be fun. I'm curious to see your results!

I took this thing years ago, and I'd always get "Advocate." A lot has changed since then, so I was curious to see what would happen if I took it again.

Introduction | Advocate (INFJ) Personality | 16Personalities

I guess not much changes afterall.

Supposedly this was based on Jung's original 8 archetypes or something related and the creators, who had no scientific background at all, decided to double it up for some reason.

It's honestly only useful in a moderate sense from a book I read years ago that pointed out some aspects that work in recent personality understandings from psychology, but it should be taken only as a representative of intensity more than a set in stone model, because the results change, I go from INFJ to INTJ over a few years and I vacillate between them, iirc

It’s a load of hooey for the most part. But people do love to go on about themselves when it comes to these things.

I’ll just leave it.

I’ve mentioned this before. I feel these tests box people in and can feed into an unhealthy mindset. It’s bogus imo. I feel the same about astrology.

The Myers-Briggs personality test is totally meaningless

The OP did mention, it was to have a bit of fun.

We can all change what we are,

not so much who we are.

Yes I noticed and appreciated that. I’m just giving my opinion. Hence, I did not take the test. I still find it fascinating how much investment people put into this sort of thing by identifying themselves in this small category according to this unproven field. It’s not healthy. We are much more adaptable than these exercises would have us believe. Yes it’s fun as a silly conversation starter but the problem is that people weld themselves to these types of things. It’s a sort of patent medicine. Of course none of it is uncomplimentary, That’s the rub that sells.

Well, a lot of people see a phychiatrist for help.

Have not heard of a phychiatrist seeking help from another phychiatrist though.

There is probably a lot of bumsteers in life, but that's life.

Would reckon.

Psychiatrists are actual medical doctors. Unlike therapists and such they can run tests, prescribe meds, etc. this has little to do with the fad of personality quizzes, life coaches, and pop psychology. Just saying.

Yeah okay. We happen to have a close friend that’s a psychiatrist. News to me.

What are you objecting to here? I’m curious. Personality tests are to be taken seriously and actual medical doctors are not? These so called tests are big business.

I really appreciate you taking the time to write your thoughts out for me! Unfortunately I won't be able to give it the response it deserves for a while (that's the downside of 12 hour shifts), but I will get back to you.
