Comments on: How Personality Tests Can Make You A Better Writer https://diymfa.com/community/personality-tests-can-make-better-writer/ Tools & Techniques for the Serious Writer Mon, 31 Jul 2017 14:20:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Sara Letourneau https://diymfa.com/community/personality-tests-can-make-better-writer/#comment-3979 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 14:20:00 +0000 http://diymfallc.wpengine.com/?p=30990#comment-3979 I’m a bit obsessed with MBTI (I like to take the test as part of getting to know my characters). But recently I took the tests as myself… and I got some interesting results. On some tests, my results are ISFJ, which is how I tested back in college. But on others, I get INFJ. I still think I’m more of an ISFJ when I compare the two descriptions, but I know that my writing projects and certain life experiences have strengthened my Intuiting over time.

I think I took the Four Tendencies test twice a while ago and got different results: Upholder the first time, and Obliger the second. I think I’m a little bit of both, because I have no trouble meeting my own expectations, but sometimes I let them slip if they conflict with others. Hopefully I can find a way to balance the two.

Also, Truity has a very similar Big Five test, and it’s free. Here’s the link, if you don’t mind me sharing it: https://www.truity.com/test/big-five-personality-test

I’d really like to do the Twitter chat on the 9th, but it’ll depend on a few things. But I’ll keep the date and time in mind!
