A REAL Personality Test

Okay, so these little personality tests I've been posting are fun, and often revealing, but now I want everyone to take a REAL one that is so accurate it blows my mind. It's a free online version of the famous Meyers-Briggs test. Lorie got me to take it a few months ago -- it's pretty much gone through half of Sojourn (my church here in Louisville). Since that time I've also made several new acquaintances and my Nightriders (secret society of super hero best friends) take it, and everyone who has taken it agrees that it present a very good snap shot of who they are as a person.

There's a book, sadly out of print, that goes along with it called "Sixteen Ways To Love Your Lover." There are some other books, still in print, by the same authors that use this personality test system, but I haven't read them yet. Anyway, this "Sixteen Ways ..." book (which you could get used from amazon.com) is fascinating because it looks at all the 16 basic personality types and tells you how to understand yourself and your mate, and how to better relate. For instance, if you're a Judger and your partner is a Perceiver, or if you're an Extrovert and your partner is an Introvert, it tells you why they react a certain way when you say or do this or that, and why YOU react the way you do to them, and what you could each do to understand each other better and to make yourself better understood, etc., etc., etc. It's a very helpful book not just for lovers but friends, family members, coworkers, partners -- anyone with whom you have interpersonal communications.

Here is the link to take the test. Do it! I know most of you people. Some of you, I have your email addresses. Some of you, I know where you live. I will hound you till you take this test and tell me what you are. You can post it in the comments here or shoot me an email. And seriously, it's fun, although you're going to need to set aside 10-15 minutes to take the test.

And later on today, Monkey Maniacs, I will tell you what I scored on the test and will print excerpts from what it said about me, as well as my own comments regarding what I think of the various things said about me. If nothing else, you'll find it an interesting case study into the mind of yours truly -- Love Caddy B-Dawg, The Forlorn Moonpuppy. All I can say is, when I took this test and read the assessment, I thought, "Wow ... this thing has a more accurate assessment of me than people who have known me for years." Fascinating.
