Personality Types and Swinging

[BookwormsInHeat]

We're curious about whether there are trends in personality types on a board like this.

Here's a link to a personality inventory called the Meyers Briggs test - most of you have probably seen it before. It's far from perfect, but might be really interesting in terms of whether there are trends here different from the population at large.

Personality Test

To break the ice here's my results (the male half)

INTJ
Introverted 56

Snakes in worms' clothing, and tired of asexual reproduction.

I took this test about ten years ago so I thought I'd see if the outcome is the same and to my surprise it is. I was reluctant to post the results though because it doesn't fit the profile I think of as swinger.

ESTJ

Extroverted 6
Sensing 12
Thinking 6
Judging 16


Supervisor Guardians are squarely on the side of rules and procedures, and they can be quite serious about seeing to it that others toe the mark—or else face the consequences. They do not hesitate to give their stamp of approval, nor do they withhold their directions or suggestions for improvement. Like seasoned, stalwart umpires, Supervisors will set their jaw and make the call on anyone who steps up to bat. They even feel obligated to do so, and they’re sometimes surprised when others don’t seem grateful for being set straight.

Comprising at least ten percent of the population, Supervisors go by experience and that is what counts, not speculation and experimentation, and certainly not fantasy. They keep their feet firmly on the ground and make sure that those under their supervision do the same, whether employee, subordinate, offspring, or spouse. If others wish to fool around and daydream, fine, as long as they do it on their own time—which means after the job is done. But if they fritter away their time while on duty, they should not be surprised when the Supervisor calls them on the carpet. The top sergeant will not put up with such nonsense.

Huh. interesting. I can't wait to see what others have. This would be a good pole.

I had trouble on a few of the questions because they were worded presuming some situation existed in my life - which it doesn't - and I was suppose to comment on how I handle myself in that situation. I FELT that sucked and JUDGED it to be a poor way to write the question. If you read my profile you'll know why this is funny to me.

Some of my profile seemed off. But I haven't asked Mr LM what he thinks. Sometimes humans don't see themselves like others do.

It means you don't swing much because your intuition tells you not to even though you think about it all the time as you stand in the corner by yourself not talking to anyone - introvert that you are. However, you perceive yourself to be a swinger nonetheless.

Did you read your Butt...pause...*me laughing some more* and Keirsey links that explains what it all means?

You might be on to something here LM, I'll have to give that some thought.

Yea, I read it, and intuitively I understand what it is saying but I'll have to give it much more thought before my perception will be complete.

"Where's the party?" ESFPs love people, excitement, telling stories and having fun. The spontaneous, impulsive nature of this type is almost always entertaining. And ESFPs love to entertain -- on stage, at work, and/or at home. Social gatherings are an energy boost to these "people" people."

According to this one, I am ESFJ... which shows differences from 10 years ago when I took the complete analysis for my job, and I was an ENTJ. The changes make sense though... since I think I'm becoming more thoughtful and open to my feelings in my advancing age.
