I came up an ENFP (Extroverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving). Out of the sixteen personality types in the systems based on C. G. Jung's theories of psychological types, the test pegged me as the very type I would consider most personally flattering (we 'typically' are actors, journalists, writers, musicians, painters,...artists. Creative and fun-loving...I'll go with that.) I've always been sceptical of tests like this, especially when they get into the nether regions of psycho-jargon, but I was surprised by how accurately the results reflected my sense of self.

Driven by a strong sense of personal values, they are also highly creative and can offer support from behind the scenes. Neat ;-) I scored as INFP:
