PROMPT: March 7th - What is your Myers-Briggs Personality Type  ? If your eyes are crossed right now and you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out this free personality test first: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test. What do you think of the result? Accurate or a load of bologna?

I am a Mediator (INFP-t)

Mind, which is my interaction with my environment, is 44% extraverted and 59% introverted.
Energy, this is defined as the direction of my mental energy, is 77% intuitive and 23% observant.
Nature, this is the way I cope with my emotions and make decisions, is 28% thinking and 72% feeling.
Tactics--my approach to planning work, and making decisions--is 18% judging and 82% prospecting.
Identity, my confidence in my decisions and abilities, is 47% assertive and 53% turbulent.

I thin this is accurate for two reason. First, the results reflect the way I have worked and made decisions most of my life. Second, this is the second time I have taken this personality test and received the same results both times. I have taken a couple of different personality test over the years--when I was going for my degree two different of the instructors had us take personality tests--and the Myers-Briggs Personality Type is the only one that impressed me as being accurate.
