OT - ever wonder how others see you?
There is a really cool, easy personality test called the "Myers-Briggs" personality indicator, and it really helped me to understand myself better. I was introduced to this a while ago and it's an amazing way to get some insight on your own personality.... something we co-dependents can really use!
You can read up on it (there are books on Amazon), or ask your therapist, and you can even do a free on-line version.
Here is a free online version

You end up with a four letter code, which is gives you a description of your personality.
Enjoy!

I love this, Robina and thank you for reminding me. I did this many moons ago and was an ISFJ (http://typelogic.com/isfj.html). I didn't quite appreciate the importance of that profile until very recently.
It is a sign of my growth in recent years that I now turn out to be INFP (http://typelogic.com/infp.html), which I see as more of a transition phase - I can;t wait to re-do it in a year or so.
I'm really interested to see what others come up as.

I am so an ENFJ...
we are the "helpers" of other people's dreams..that's me to a T..
"Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are. "
also why I'm a good coach..

ISFJ....wow, that is very me, but maybe not a good thing.
um...yup, do this everyday
lol....that's why i am good at my job
this was the most interesting, I have had soooo many people tell me, especially with work that they thought I was a stuck up snob (because I was quiet and shy) untill they got to know me
yup, me again.
The primary desire of the Protector Guardian is to be of service to others
Protectors find great satisfaction in assisting the downtrodden and can deal with disability and neediness in others better than any other type.
their shyness with strangers is often misjudged as stiffness, even coldness, when in truth these Protectors are warm-hearted and sympathetic, giving happily of themselves to those in need.
Protectors are quite content to work alone; indeed, they may experience some discomfort when placed in positions of authority, and may try to do everything themselves rather than insist that others do their jobs.

I took this a long time ago and was an EFNP. I just went back to retake the test to see if I would get different results and I'm still an EFNP. So far, that's 3 of us (me, EQ and Pick).
