Personality Page

Here is a page about me: personality inventories I have taken, things I enjoy — things I don’t enjoy, and other clues to who I am and what I am like.

I consistently, when taking the Myers-Briggs and similar personality inventories, score as INF, with an nearly even split (over the last 25 years) between J and P. Depending on which compilation and interpretation, you can get ideas for careers, vacation options, color choices, plants and house styles…

For those whose browers don’t read tables or graphics, I am also going to include a few things from other pages where they are presented in tabular code.

The list of Personality Types I resemble (from mypersonality.info):

And, from the same website, here is how I scored on a Multiple Intelligences inventory (multiple intelligences is a relatively new educational theory that validates that not all of life centers around book-learning):

75% – Verbal/Linguistic
75% – Interpersonal
75% – Naturalist
60% – Logical Mathematical
55% – Bodily/Kinesthetic
