ENFP Continued

I didn't know how to make words on that graph they posted for me so I will do it now. It was fun and not surprising; but it didn't leave enough flexibility: was "either/or" and I am NOT for most of them!
And they misspelled "extrOvert"!

When these kinds of questionnaires are used for "real" research purposes, they tend to be much longer, and contain quite a few of the same questions with slightly different wording to test for consistency of responses.

They also typically allow scaled responses, e.g.
1 = strongly disagree
2 = disagree
3 = somewhat disagree
4 = neither agree nor disagree
5 = somewhat agree
6 = agree
7 = strongly agree

Without these kinds of allowances for gradation, tests like this one tend to overstate tendencies that might not be so clear-cut.

As for your spelling gripe, I'm sorry to say that both terms are used in the scientific literature, with perhaps a bias towards "extraversion". The etymology is German where it is extrA not extrO (Carl Jung introduced it to English).

Ahhh, I thought after I wrote that complaint that that probably was the case--or a spelling from Europe. Well, anyway, thanks for the correction. And I would have liked the graded responses. B.M.
