I decided it was about time to take it again. Yesterday, apparently, I was an ISFP, and more specifically a:
-moderately expressed Introvert
-moderately expressed Sensing personality
-distinctively expressed Feeling personality
-slightly expressed Perceiving personality
According to the results, I am an Composer Artisan (whatever that means).
Here is one summary that I found particularly interesting:
Contributions to the Organization
• Attend to the needs of people in the organization as they arise
• Act to ensure others' well-being
• Infuse a quiet joy into their work
• Bring people and tasks together by virtue of their cooperative nature
• Pay attention to the humanistic aspects of the organization
Leadership Style
• Prefer a cooperative team approach
• Use personal loyalty as a means of motivating others
• More apt to praise than to criticize
• Rise to the occasion and adapt to what is needed
• Gently persuade by tapping into others' good intentions
Preferred Work Environment
• Contains cooperative people quietly enjoying their work
• Allows for private space
• Has people who are compatible
• Flexible
• Aesthetically appealing
• Includes courteous co-workers
• People-oriented
Potential Pitfalls
• May be too trusting and gullible
• May not critique others when needed, but may be overly self-critical
• May not see beyond the present reality to understand things in their fuller context
• May be too easily hurt and withdraw
Suggestions for Development
• May need to develop more skepticism and a method for analyzing information rather
than just accepting it
• May need to learn how to give negative feedback to others while appreciating their own accomplishments more
• May need to develop a more future-oriented perspective
• May need to be more assertive and direct with others
What do you think?

This is very you. Here are my comments in ( ).

Leadership Style
• Prefer a cooperative team approach (conflict? heck no! Keep it smooth! Totally you)
• Use personal loyalty as a means of motivating others (experienced that!)
• More apt to praise than to criticize (definitely/experienced that)
• Rise to the occasion and adapt to what is needed (hello-duh. PyV team director).
• Gently persuade by tapping into others' good intentions (yes!)
Preferred Work Environment
• Contains cooperative people quietly enjoying their work (well--you like to party, but if you're down to business. I would think so!)
• Allows for private space (respectable)
• Has people who are compatible (yes!)
• Flexible (totally!)
• Aesthetically appealing (who you? YES! Oh, work enviornment -- yes! Dorm room always was!)
• Includes courteous co-workers (yes!)
• People-oriented (duh! mish!)
Potential Pitfalls
• May be too trusting and gullible (perhaps)
• May not critique others when needed, but may be overly self-critical (i think so, but you are always amazing -- don't be so critical!)
• May not see beyond the present reality to understand things in their fuller context (I don't think so. You always help me keep things in perspective!)
• May be too easily hurt and withdraw (hopefully never by me)
Suggestions for Development
• May need to develop more skepticism and a method for analyzing information rather
than just accepting it
• May need to learn how to give negative feedback to others while appreciating their own accomplishments more
• May need to develop a more future-oriented perspective
• May need to be more assertive and direct with others
Basically, all of this means you are an amazing human being. There are some pretty good qualities all up in there. I'm glad you're my friend! :) I LOVE YOU!
I definitely agree with the large majority of this analysis.
Unfortunately, I recognize a few of the "potential pitfalls" due to my own insensitivity toward you (ex. too easily hurt and withdraw). :(
I think the suggestions for improvement are interesting. I can think of situations where they would apply, and others where you knocked them out of the park.
The interesting thing about these personality tests is they don't account for virtue. It has been a blessing to watch you overcome many of your weaknesses through continued prayer and sacrifice.
You are a beautiful soul. I am blessed and honored to call you friend. I love you!!!
p.s. - where did you take this test? I want to do it, too!
