Background Noise: I'm Not Okay, my chemical romance

Right now i want...

Occasionally i take personality tests. Yes, more tests... i must miss school. The interesting thing about my tests, however, is that my results differ based on my current situation (project mode, listening to friends, etc).

For example, i just took a(nother) Jung - Myers-Briggs personality test. My results?

I'm an ENTJ, a Rational, person, more commonly known as The Field Marshall. Field Marshalls make up less than 2% of the population.

Curious that, while accurate, especially in certain situations (MUSKET i'm talking to you!), it doesn't begin to cover the other side of my personality: the me that is happy to hang around and help out when being a Field Marshall isn't required. So i took another test, a temperment sorter trying to answer as if i wasn't in the ending stages of shipping an application. The answer?

I'm a ESFJ, a Guardian, specifically a Provider. Another near-rarity, weighing in at 10% of the population.

So how can i be both a Rational and a Guardian (and no, the answer is not that i'm Aisling Grey)?

Here's the thing: to me, this makes complete sense. I will always deal more with the external world than with the internal one (i knew i was a libra!), and i do tend to make plans and organize solutions, there's no helping that.

But i've found that i can choose how i percieve the information from my environment and how i process that information. I would argue that these changes do not have to be made at the same time, but then again, i'm not the psychologist here.

So yes, i can be both - or all, if you prefer. More than can, i am both. Which i suppose makes me unique. Lucky me.

Though i have to admit... this does explain a whole lot about how i deal with people. Who knew i'd actually ever get anything out of these silly quizes?
