Personality Profile - #1

This assignment required reading the Myers & Briggs basics at the foundation website: http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/ . According to the Myers & BriggsType Indicator (MBTI), the questionnaire measures temperaments,but does not measure traits, abilities, or character.  The type indicator is based on four temperments:


The Four Temperaments

• As Concrete Cooperators, Guardians speak mostly of their duties and responsibilities, of what they can keep an eye on and take good care of, and they're careful to obey the laws, follow the rules, and respect the rights of others.
  
• As Abstract Cooperators, Idealists speak mostly of what they hope for and imagine might be possible for people, and they want to act in good conscience, always trying to reach their goals without compromising their personal code of ethics.
  
• As Concrete Utilitarians, Artisans speak mostly about what they see right in front of them, about what they can get their hands on, and they will do whatever works, whatever gives them a quick, effective payoff, even if they have to bend the rules.

• As Abstract Utilitarians, Rationals speak mostly of what new problems intrigue them and what new solutions they envision, and always pragmatic, they act as efficiently as possible to achieve their objectives, ignoring arbitrary rules and conventions. 

I have taken this questionnaire in two different classes while working on my Bachelor's degree.  Both times the results were the same, INFP.  I agree that the results are very spot on in my case.  I believe that this is why this test is widely used.  Most people that took the test when I did agreed with their results as well.
