Getting to Know Myself: Part 1
Friday, June 16, 2017

Blogger's Disclaimer

On Wednesday, June 14, I took the personality test that was in the "Short Stories Newsletter (June 14, 2017) which can be found at 16Personalities  . According to my results, I am an INFPT, a Mediator Personality, and my percentages are 70% introvert, 86% intuitive, 67% feeling, 86% perspective, and 54% turbulent. This means that my role is diplomat and my strategy is constant improvement. The constant improvement is right on the nose, as is this quote about a Mediator, "Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause."1


"All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost."
J. R. R. Tolkien2
