Personality Tests Blow My Mind

INFJ? ESTP? ISTP? So you are probably thinking..."What does this mean!? What are all the random letters?"

Let me just tell you, I love personalites. For the past few days, I have been obsessed with discovering the letters that define / describe my personality, while also diagnosing all of my friends and co-workers with their respective letters. Introvert? Extrovert? Sensing? Intuitive? Thinking? Feeling? Perceiving? Judging? Yes, those are the questions that I strive to answer.

After spending countless hours staring at my computer screen to the wee hours of the morning, I feel safe stating that I am a personality guru. Seriously. I even met the man dubbed "THE Personality Guy," and I'm pretty sure he was impressed by the skills Jessica and I had.

So, if you want me to tell you your horoscope..oops, I mean personality- let me know. You might be surpised. And yes, letters do define who you are.

Warning: I thought I was an INFP, however, THE Personality Guy told me I was definitely an ESFJ. So yeah, I was pretty wrong with myself, but don't judge me. I just didn't want to the be personality type that is described as being a "doormat." Seriously. I think he might be right though...

The People Outside

My house has many windows. During the day, I see SO many people walking outside. But let me tell you something: these people are not ordinary college students. They are trendy walkers, stylish bike riders, and intense joggers. It is some strange anomaly. When I lived closer to campus, I never saw people like this. So my questions are: Where do they come from? Why do they all live around my house and in my ward? and lastly....Why are they all so intimidating?

So tonight, I decided to attempt to join their ranks. Jessica and I walked outside casually and almost immediately, we made friends. Two fairly interesting gents paused to talk for a moment. Seconds later, a guy named Boo riding a 1959 Vespa stopped to join our conversation. Following that, a car stopped and another dude befriended us! People honked and waived and bikes passed in harmony with our group of people. And somehow, I felt really accomplished being one of the cool people outside.

Wow. My life is so lame at times. These meaningless things just make my heart happy. I'm just so fascinated that being outside has become the "in" thing these days.
