Anybody else used MBTI to shed light on their spouse or relationship?

I'm an INTJ. My wife is an ENFJ.

I have known my type for a long time. I was checking it to see if I had changed and my wife asked what I was up to.

When I told her, she and my daughter took it too.

It was fun to read about her and my daughter. It amounted to reading all the reasons I love her all over again.

She is my sunshine. Myers Briggs gets that. She is everyones sunshine with her uncanny people skills and caring nature.

Guess not eh dan man?

Myers Briggs type indicator is the most popular personality test, theory, explanation, system etc on the planet earth.

My type is INTJ and there are wesbites dedicicated to my type and all the others.

It has given me insight into my internal wiring aling with my wifes.

There are many free tests to be taken. It is often referred to as MBTI.

Google it and have some fun

You are either an

introvert or extrovert
sensor or inutuitor
thinker of feeler
judger or perceiver

the first letter of each indicates your type.

My wife enfj (the teacher)
me intj (the mastermind)

DanF:Personality test based on Jung and Briggs Myers typology

I'm INFP (Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving), He did the test last week and is an ISTJ (Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging).

Interesting mix but my weaknesses are his strengths and his weaknesses are my strengths. We kind of are two halves that make a whole in a way.

Me too-- INFJ. I was pretty comfortable with everything but the slightly judgmental part. Never saw myself as judgmental. May need to work on that one... At least I was only 11%!
J does not mean judgemental under MBTI Not even remotely so.

It means you like structure, organization and are punctual and decisive as opposed to laid back and free flowing

I did a whole thread on this - love reading about the temperments. http://talkaboutmarriage.com/genera...ments-our-spouses-better-understand-them.html


I have a bunch of tests in my opening thread post -The Brutally honest personality test" is a really fun one - good one to do with friends & family around the holidays! Even when me & my husband take the different tests, we always come out the same , so they are pretty accurate.

Here is what it says for YOU....the INTJ ******* | Take The Brutally Honest Personality Test ....
Crackpot -

People hate you.
Paris Hilton hates Nicole Richie. Lex Luther hates Superman. Garfield hates Mondays.But none these even rates against the insurmountable hate, people have for you.

I mean, you're pretty damn clever and you know it. You love to flaunt your potential. Heard the word "arrogant" lately? How about "jerk?" Or perhaps they only say that behind your back.

That's right. I know I can say this cause you're not going to cry. You're not exactly the most emotional person. You'd rather spend time with your theoretical questions and abstract theories than with other people.

Ever been kissed? Ever even been on a date? Trust me, your inflated ego is a complete turnoff with the opposite sex and I am telling you, you're not that great with relationships as it is. You're never going to be a dude or chick magnet, purely because you're more concerned with yourself than others. Meh. They all hate you already anyway.

How about this- "stubborn?" Hrm? Heard that lately? All those facts which don't fit your theories must just be wrong, right? I mean, really, the vast amounts of time you spend with your head in the clouds...you're just plain strange.

And your wife ... ENFJ .... ******* | Take The Brutally Honest Personality Test
The Busy Body-

You manipulative busybody! You're what some might call the "backseat driver" of life. You know, the one who knows exactly what everyone else is doing wrong and how they should go about fixing it. You're always trying to change everyone else.

The strange thing is, you can generally get whoever you want, to do whatever you want. What's that? You want me to stop insulting you...well, alright...but only because you asked so nic...WAIT A MINUTE!

Stop sticking your cumbersome nose where it aint't wanted. You're like an oversized sniffer dog, trained to sniff out everyone else's problems, yet oblivious to your own.

For one you worry excessively. The fact that you're also incredibly sensitive to criticism probably has you on the verge of tears right now. Get a grip.

You have powers of manipulation unlike any other. You know all the gossip and you know how to ultimately use it as blackmailing material.

You could potentially be the ultimate evil villain... if not for the fact you choose to use all of your powers for good, rather than evil. How honourable. How admirable and praiseworthy. How pathetic. While you're helping others out and pushing them into the limelight, you're left in the background to inhale the dirty smoke of their success. Nice one.
***Don't be offended, they are all nasty, I am sure they have some truth too -if we want to be real honest

The ENFJ description was really funny! My husband is always telling me I worry about stuff and other people way too much. :eek:

Borefest - ISTJ

27% Extraversion, 47% Intuition, 93% Thinking, 53% Judging
One word. Boring. Sums you up to a tee. You're responsible, trustworthy, serious and down to earth. Boring. Boring. Boring.

You play by the rules. You follow tradition. You encourage structure.

You insist that EVERYBODY do EVERYTHING by the book. Seriously, is there even an ounce of imagination in that little brain of yours? I mean, what's the point of imagination, right? It has no practical value...

As far as you're concerned, abstract theories can go screw themselves. You just want the facts, all the facts and nothing but the facts.

Oh. And you're a perfectionist. About everything. You know that the previous sentence was gramattically incorrect and that "gramattically" was spelled wrong. Your financial records are correct to 25 decimal places and your bedroom is in pristine condition. In fact, you even don't sleep on your bed anymore for fear that you might crease the sheets.

Thankfully, you don't have anyone else to share the bed with, because you're uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others. Too bad


Not bad - I'd give that a B+
