Temperament Sorter

1:41 pm Thu, 19th February 2004

For some reason, I love personality quizzes. And I’ve had a rather fun morning procrastinating, taking various personality tests. After doing two different tests (that use the same measure in their results), I’ve established that I’m (still) an ESFP (Artisan Performer). Though very VERY borderline to an ISFP (Artisan Composer). Basically coz I’m just about 50/50 on the Extraverted vs Introverted scale.

So what does all this mean? I’ve been looking at two different websites that explains the different temperaments. Typelogic and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. Here’s a summary of the four different criterion:

1. The first criterion defines the source and direction of energy expression for a person. The extrovert (E) has a source and direction of energy expression mainly in the external world while the introvert (I) has a source of energy mainly in the internal world.
2. The second criterion defines the method of information perception by a person. Sensing (S) means that a person believes mainly information he receives directly from the external world. Intuition (N) means that a person believes mainly information he receives from the internal or imaginative world.
3. The third criterion defines how the person processes information. Thinking (T) means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling (F) means that, as a rule, he makes a decision based on emotion.
4. The fourth criterion defines how a person implements the information he has processed. Judging (J) means that a person organizes all his life events and acts strictly according to his plans. Perceiving (P) means that he is inclined to improvise and seek alternatives.

(Taken from Humanmetrics.)

The tests I’ve taken to find these results are this one and this one. There’s also the Keirsey one, but you have to pay to get the full report.

Anyways, if you have time to waste, do these tests, and let me know which of the sixteen temperaments you are. I find this sorta thing extremely interesting (and hence have just wasted a whole morning at work on this :P).

Chiropractors are cool

I also had a complimentory chiropractor consultation at my gym this morning, to take a look at my shoulder and my knee. My shoulder has been giving me twinges for the past few months whenever I do a particular exercise at the gym, if I’m tired or not doing it quite correctly enough. So I find out that I’ve somehow managed to injure my shoulder (dunno when or where or how), and that I need to get it treated (better now than to wait till it really gets bad). I was like, I had no idea this was wrong with me!



As for my knee, its my left one giving me grief.. hurting, esp when in particular positions when sitting or walking. Apparently its really quite loose, coz the muscles are very weak. So she says this one is easily solved by doing exercises for that knee muscle. She recommended having a personal training session so I can get personalised exercises for my knee.

Anyways, that, all in a 15 minute consultation… all she did was poke around at various joints and muscles, and she could come up with all that. Pretty cool! I’m not looking forward to treating my shoulder tho…. she warned that it would hurt. Eek!

In other news.. photos from Jervis are coming soon. When I get around to resizing, retouching, and uploading the pics. 🙂
