My personality type is.....

[pat]

As it has been every time since I first took any version of the Myers-Briggs at the age of sixteen: INFP. Introverted-Intuitive-Feeling-Perceiving. And I was over 70% on all of those preferences, which was stronger than in any previous testing. (I'm actually getting more introverted. Hmmm.) I should have paid attention to this before I went to law school: very few INFPs are lawyers, probably with good reason. I learned this in a M-B seminar after I graduated, of course.

I should be:

* Writers
* Counselors / Social Workers
* Teachers / Professors
* Psychologists
* Psychiatrists
* Musicians
* Clergy / Religious Workers

I would argue that being a mom incorporates at least two of those.

Only TWO? By my count, a mom has to be, at various times:

*writer (excuse notes, kids' homework, Little League flyers....)
*Counselor/Social Worker ("This summer you're going to Computer Camp, to give you some experience that might help with your future career..."
*Teacher (help with the homework; teach them manners...)
*Psychologist ("no honey, your brother didn't really MEAN he hates you--he's just upset right now!")
*Psychiatrist ("Here honey, take this melatonin to help you relax")
*musician ("Lullabye, and good night....")
*Clergy/Religious worker (praying at the dinner table, at ball games, and "Dear God, help me survive these kids!")

I think you've clearly hit ALL of them!
