To begin with, I do not believe fully in such personality tests because I think that personality is a spectre of colours too diverse and subjective to be restricted in a rigid system of analysis. Anyways, I took the test and I must say that, it seems to be true to a certain extend although it's not all that completely true.
I got the ENFJ personality type which stands for; Extrovert, Intuition, Feeling and Judging.
"Extraverted feeling types seek continuity through harmonious relationships and collective values. They excel at picking up on the tone of a situation and acting accordingly, adding warmth to a cool setting or turning sour into sweet. They naturally seek to know what people do well, what they enjoy, and where and how they work. They seem to have an infinite number of acquaintances from all walks of life and are always on the lookout for people in need and those who can help out. ENFJs weave and strengthen the collective fabric of social conventions and interactions. Inclusiveness is important and they are particularly sensitive to those who are excluded.
ENFJs focus on others, feeling a glow when those around them are happy, and troubled when something is amiss. They are natural cheerleaders, often expressing support, gratitude, and encouragement, and heaping praise onto those they appreciate. They take note of what is being done and what needs doing, offering their assistance wherever necessary.
ENFJs enjoy organizing group activities and tend to take their commitments seriously. In general, they are reliable and do not like to disappoint others. As team players and project leaders, they have a gift for rallying their players, focusing on what is being done right and each member's strengths. They are loyal and they expect loyalty. They carry conversations well, finding common ground with their speaker. They tend to find the correct and gracious way to respond in any given situation, no matter how tense or uncomfortable it is.
Types with dominant extraverted feeling may uphold a wide range of values, simply because shared values are what create harmony. Some will profess the importance of tough-minded logic, justice and scholarly debate because their environments have these shared values. They tend to adopt the collective values of those in their social group."
I also got Albus Dumbledore as my character in Harry Potter with that personality. Cheers to that :D
"Wise, introspective and eerily adept at understanding the motivations of others, Dumbledore was the epitome of a well-developed INFJ. He was fiercely analytical when it came to determining right from wrong and he was frequently able to see things in a universal scheme rather than simply referring to what was immediately apparent. Dumbledore’s wise, protective nature represented the INFJ archetype in its most developed form."
My thoughts?
Well personally, I think it is very true. At first, I was at disbelief at the results but I can relate to it. The only dissatisfaction is that, the test only stressed on the positives of a particular personality. I think it would be far more important to look into the negatives as well. So that we can analyse, reflect upon it and contemplate on how to improve our weaknesses. Nevertheless, it was an interesting test. :)
