Myers- Briggs Personality Types - a humorous take
Just when you think you've spent enough time on Personality Types and how they affect your mothering style and family relationships:
Negative Myers-Briggs Type Descriptions by Hal DendurentENFJ: "Busybody"
Life's backseat drivers. They seem to know just what's wrong with everybody else's life and have a plan to fix it.INFJ: "Messiah"
Characterized by the burning desire to change the world, which desperately needs everyone to be NF.ENFP: "Muckraker"
Creator of hype, distortion, and the perversion of media of information to be wallows of mindless emotionalism.INFP: "Fanatic"
Always searching for an Answer with a capital A. Unlike the INFJ, they are usually openminded enough to realize the current one isn't good enough after a few years.ENTJ: "Tyrant"
Knows better than everyone how things should be done and works tirelessly to obtain the power to make it happen that way.INTJ: "Crackpot"
All facts which don't fit their theories are just wrong. The more all-encompassing and less applicable to reality the theories, the better.ENTP: "Frankenstein"
The salvation of the world is to be found in this new nanotronic frannistan, of which he just happens to have an almost-working model...INTP: "Nerd"
What? you mean people actually talk to each other using mouths and ears instead of keyboards????ESTJ: "Stuffed Shirt"
No imagination, no flexibility, no common sense, no capacity for tolerance of others with different priorities.ISTJ: "Bean Counter"
Like the ESTJ but with less vision.ESFJ: "Gossip"
Like the Busybody, but characterized by the urge to backstab instead of trying to help.ISFJ: "Sidekick"
Doesn't need much meaning in life, just a person (or baby or pet or car) to spend all their time ministering to.ESTP: "Beer Drinker"
Loud, crude, plays team sports, kisses and tells. These are the people beer commercials are made for.ESFP: "Clown"
Always the class troublemaker, they have no respect for anybody or anything. Good at snide wisecracks.ISTP: "Assassin"
Hates people, and is good at killing them. Young ISTP's are good at killing pictures of people in video games.ISFP: "Snob"
Revels in the elaborate sensations of wine and paintings and music that are completely indistinguishable to ordinary people. Likes flowers.

LOL! I'm an INFP, and that is SO true for me! I am constantly searching for the Answer to everything, and dissatisfied when I can't find it.

Haha! This is great! My mother-in-law is an ENFP, absolutely appropriately, and proud of it!
Now, let me see how I can fit all this into my theory...
"The Philosopher-Mom" (INTJ)

Just what I needed...a Messiah complex! LOL
It's interesting to me that I fall into the same personality as Carl Jung--responsible for alot of these personality descriptions...what I'd love to know is how genetics play into giving an INFJ mother a ENFP daughter! LOL
Happy April Fool's day!

I'm a messiah married to a tyrant...no wonder we're always trying to change each other!
