Keirsey Temperament Sorter
The Keirsey Temperament Sorter is a test
that best describes a person's
personality. It consists of seventy questions
that try to find out what kind of
person you are. It tries to best identify
where you like to focus your
attention, how you prefer to take in
information, how you like to make
decisions, and the lifestyle that you
prefer. This is a system that is supposed
to accurately identify someone's
personality. I was really anxious to do this
test and I tried to answer every
question as accurately as I could. After
reviewing my score, I found out that
I was an ISFP. Well, what exactly is an
ISFP? It stands for Introvert,
Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving. Introvert is a
person that prefers to focus
on the inner world of thoughts, feelings, or
impressions. I agree with this
because I rely on feelings and impressions of
others. I am able to sometimes
see how others feel inside even if they don't
show it on the outside. The
Sensing part I strongly disagreed with. It says that
Sensing is a type of
person that likes to focus on the present reality and on
the information
brought by their senses. On the other hand, the N (iNtuitions),
which is the
opposite of the S, says that it is a type of person that focuses
on
possibilities and relationships and looks forward to the future. I think
that I
am more N then S. The next part says that I am more of feeling than
thinking and
means that I base my judgements on personal values and tend to
be more person
oriented. I agree with the part that says that I base my
judgements on personal
values but not on the part about being people
oriented. I always get into fights
with friends over my decisions or
judgements because I base them on my values
that often seem to be very
different than others'. Finally, the P or perceiving,
talks about how I like
an adaptable, flexible, and a spontaneous approach to
life and that I like to
stay open to new experiences. I agree with this the most
because it's the
best one that most accurately describes me. Overall, I think
that I am an
INFP and not an ISFP. I still believe that the N describes me more
than the
S. I found this test to be more accurate than any other tests that I
have
taken. This test surprised me with the accuracy and I also liked taking it.
