My father loves personality tests, so this one is for him:
Extroverted: 1
Intuitive: 50
Feeling: 12
Judging: 22
You are:
slightly expressed extrovert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
slightly expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed judging personality
There’s also a marriage compatibility test, if I can get Jenn to do the above test as well.
From another site:
ENFJs are the benevolent ‘pedagogues’ of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it’s usually not meant as manipulation — ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.
ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability.
ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don’t resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.
ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear.
As with psychics and astrology, I would be surprised if any of these profiles boils down to anything other than “this person is awesome,” so take the above with a grain of salt. (Although, you know, I am awesome.)
It’s six months to the day since my operation, a medial thera-something-oscopy, which means “cut open a slit across your throat, stick a camera and a cutting tool down into the middle of your chest, and scrape that lymph node to see if it’s malignant or simply an over-achiever.”
It was, in fact, not lymphoma, but rather, sarcoidosis, which Peter remembers how to pronounce by calling it “sarcastic doses,” which is probably a hint about my attitude around the office. Instead of being fatal, it’s just damned irritating:
Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that can affect any organ. Common symptoms are vague, such as fatigue unchanged by sleep, lack of energy, aches and pains, dry eyes, blurry vision, shortness of breath, a dry hacking cough or skin lesions. The cutaneous symptoms are protean, and range from rashes and noduli (small bumps) to erythema nodosum or lupus pernio.
(No, I don’t know what that last sentence means, either, but it sure is impressive.)
I know it’s been six months, because when they were wheeling me into the operating room to at St. Mary’s Hospital to slit my throat, I looked at my ID band, and noticed the date on it was 05/05/05. As I counted backwards, as instructed, while the anesthesea flowed into my arm, I looked to the clock on the wall on the right: 10 until six.
Then I woke up, hours later, with Jenn and my mother-in-law at the foot of my bed. Actually, I’d apparently been semi-conscious while being wheeled in, and had already been told it wasn’t cancer: I told Jenn I owed her money, since I’d lost the bet I’d made. (Hey, I figured, if I got cancer, at least I’d get some cash out of the deal.)
My body is now well underway on a relapse of my earlier symptoms, but knowing that they are not likely to be life-threatening makes hobbling around, falling asleep at my desk and all the rest a lot more bearable.
People ask for the update periodically, and there it is. Invest heavily in Wyeth: The way I’m sucking down Advil to combat the swelling in my joints, the stock price is going to shoot through the roof.
The City of Hesperia has sent us an invitation to come to a ribbon cutting for the I-15/Main Street interchange on Tuesday, November 15. They’re committed now, whether they like it or not.
Jenn will be thrilled that she can get to Baker’s without the hassle of the construction at long last.
Whoops!
A woman is facing criminal charges after being arrested for not stopping at toll booths more than 2,900 times, police said.
Authorities said Evangelina Sanchez Gonzalez, 41, may be the most notorious toll-booth runner in North Texas, amassing fines of more than $76,000.
Over the 20 months that officials said Gonzalez ran through the booths, she would have paid roughly $1,800 in tolls. Now, she owes more than 42 times that amount with the addition of fines and penalties.
Not paying the toll is a Class-C misdemeanor.
The North Texas Tollway Authority estimates that 35,000 drivers out of one million daily transactions do not pay when passing through the toll booths.
Gonzalez was arrested in October and was released pending trial.
From the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell:
STATE SCHOOLS CHIEF JACK O’CONNELL TELLS STUDENTS
HOW TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE COLD AND FLU
Delivers “Keep Our Schools Healthy� Toolkit and Wash Your Hands PSA
LOS ANGELES — State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell unveiled a new audio public service announcement in Los Angeles today called “Wash Your Hands,â€? designed to remind students and their families about the importance of hand washing to prevent the spread of the cold and the flu.
“By washing hands often, students can increase their chance of avoiding the flu, so they can stay healthy, stay in school, and keep learning,� O’Connell said. “It is important to remind students about simple steps they can take to protect their health so schools will have fewer sick days for students and teachers.�
“Today the President announced federal plans to prevent the possible pandemic of the bird flu,� O’Connell added. “Although the bird flu isn’t in the U.S. right now, the usual flu season is just about to start, and the very best way to avoid catching colds and any strain of the flu is to take preventive measures.�
The California Department of Education (CDE) is working with the California Department of Health Services (DHS) to provide the “Wash Your Handsâ€? public service announcement. The message is sponsored by the California Coalition for Childhood Immunization and the California Adult Immunization Coalition and is sung to the tune of “Jingle Bells.” The public service announcement is available as a compact disc or may be downloaded as a MP3 through the DHS Web site at http://www.dhs.ca.gov/ps/dcdc/izgroup/pdf/WashYourHandsPSA.mp3.
O’Connell reminded students about these tips to avoid spreading the cold and the flu:
- Wash your hands OFTEN with soap and water or hand sanitizer to help protect yourself from germs and viruses. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth;
- When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, your sleeve, or your elbow;
- Stay fit by eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, and getting plenty of rest;
- Keep up-to-date with other immunizations; and
- If you become sick, stay home to avoid spreading germs to others.
The CDE and DHS have developed a “Keep Our Schools Healthy� toolkit for schools to download informational posters to remind students about these important health tips. To access the toolkit, please visit http://www.dhs.ca.gov/ps/dcdc/izgroup/flu.htm.
The CDE also has cold and flu prevention posters in several languages that teachers can post in their classrooms. To download the posters, please visit http://www.cde.ca.gov/40595.
So now you know.
