To those who took the cute little IQ Test, and all others who may be interested -- here is a chance to find out about your personality type to boot! Click on this Personality Test Link, and see what you come up with! I see no need to purchase the "comprehensive report" at the end, unless you're just curious! (In other words, I am not getting a commission or anything on this thing!)
It's just a fun little quiz, and a whimsical way to express yourself! I am, supposedly, a "Chosen One." I don't feel particularly "chosen," unless it's for "Best Surgical Candidate of the Year!" LOL!
Idealist Portrait of the Counselor (INFJ)
Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs (such as writing) that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries. Counselors are both kind and positive in their handling of others; they are great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes.
Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.
Counselors tend to work effectively in organizations. They value staff harmony and make every effort to help an organization run smoothly and pleasantly. They understand and use human systems creatively, and are good at consulting and cooperating with others. As employees or employers, Counselors are concerned with people's feelings and are able to act as a barometer of the feelings within the organization.
Blessed with vivid imaginations, Counselors are often seen as the most poetical of all the types, and in fact they use a lot of poetic imagery in their everyday language. Their great talent for language-both written and spoken-is usually directed toward communicating with people in a personalized way. Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions-good or evil-even before that person is aware of them. Counselors themselves can seldom tell how they came to read others' feelings so keenly. This extreme sensitivity to others could very well be the basis of the Counselor's remarkable ability to experience a whole array of psychic phenomena.

Look Ma! No psychoses! I'm just an odd type!! (I come by it naturally, so lay off! *G*)
You love movies with sex and violence, and you drive like a maniac. "Anything for a good time," is your motto, even if that means dancing half-dressed on some booze-slicked bar.
But let's face it, you're so fun, interesting, and gung-ho about life that people find you irresistible no matter what you do.........
Hey I'll buy this part! LOL
;-}
LOL, LETHAL WEAPON
The IQ test is posted here. If you score higher than 120 or so, your IQ is likely much higher than measured on this particular IQ test. This is all just-for-fun stuff. It probably hasn't been subject to clinical field testing. (I feel pretty safe in making that assumption!)
Just have fun!! ;-}
Apparently, the personality types are quite popular now! When I first had the testing done, hardly anyone had even heard of it! Now it's all over the 'net! I'm just now starting to get messages from the INFJ list-serve, and everyone there seems to be pretty much on my wavelength! Odd, for someone who doesn't "connect" very quickly very often. (Hope you followed that?!) (*G*)
The internet test was probably the third or fourth time I took this test. Fourth, I think! I have never tested as anything but an INFJ. I don't expect I ever will! ;-}
You're basically a smart, shrewd, loner. For you, a lifetime in solitary confinement sounds pretty darn fun as long as they serve ice cream. That way you could ponder life's mysteries without anyone bugging you. But to those lucky enough to know you well, you're a deeply caring person full of energy and ideas. We wouldn't be surprised to hear that you collected stamps as a child.
Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types — your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Politician which means you are a Success / Golden. Your primary sub-type is defined by "Success" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Golden" characteristics.
You're forceful, innovative, and popular with the masses. You aggressively pursue your goals, and you enjoy impressing people. Chances are you own a gold money clip engraved with your initials. Your hair is always in place. You may even bleach your teeth. And you never say anything that offends anyone, at least to their face.
------------------------
Accurate. I'm the treasurer of a campaign and the treasurer of MCRGO's PAC, and I am VERY aggressive in my goals.
Yeah, like I'm gonna tell the whole world that the site thinks I'm a dangerous psycho that shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets.
Oops.
