As I was Stumbling the other night, I came across a (Jung typing) personality test. Just out of curiosity, I took it. My original type came back as a INTJ. After reading it, it kinda occurred to me that these almost (OK, do) read like a horoscope. That is, the description is vague enough to lead a person to believe that they really could be that type. So after a bit of Googling, I came across
THIS page. I took the Jung word test (70 q's) and the Jung+Enneagram (108 q's). Both came back as ISTJ. There was another test I took from some other site (that I don't recall the addy for...) that also came back as an ISTJ.
All well and good, but now what do I do with this info? I mean, the reason I was interested in the first place was because since December, I've had a bear of a time dealing with work and myself. I just did start feeling more confident in myself after a few months of heavy doubting and lack of confidence. I guess I was just looking for ways to analyze how my personality fit into it and what I could do in the future to keep myself "up". I mean, I've ALWAYS been confident in myself, so the past couple months have been VERY uncomfortable. I would really like to figure this out as to never go through it again.
I'll be the first one to admit, I realize that these tests may not mean a dang thing. But I gotta ask...
1)Could there be some validity to it?
2)Is this something that is worth pursuing in order to improve myself?
3)Is there a better way to look into "myself"?
Funny thing is, I've finally found an angle to researching "myself" in the same analytical fashion that I tend to approach my pet projects. Even more interesting, is that even after finding this stuff and pondering it, I'm starting to feel as though there could be solid answers and improvement as a result.
Any advice or thoughts from you guys/gals?
