Myers-briggs types are these four-letter combinations of Introvert/Extravert, iNtuition/Sensory, Feeling/Thinking, Perceiving/Judging. So, ISFP, ENTJ, INTP, types like that are how they categorize your natural way of doing things. (that's a super-duper abbreviated version of what it's all about, sorry)
They even give little phrases to the different types to help you remember them, and they're very telling. My phrase?: I Never Find Perfection (INFP)
I can't count the number of unfinished projects I've left in my wake
Not sure if it's an ACOA thing or just me......but either way, it's not a trait I like in myself so I'm working on it. I just finished a stone patio this summer after working on it for a year (sigh)
Hugs,

Hey, congrats on the patio! :-)
Actually, yeah, I have taken Meyers-Briggs tests several times. My strongest indication is INFP -- although sometimes I identify with ENFP as well (they seem to have this 'uncompleted project' problem as well).
That's a funny way to remember INFP. It's nice to think that I'm not alone :-) Thank you so much for your reply!
