INTP ako!

Most of the details in this post will be coming from: Personality Page
Got my result by taking the personality test in 16 Personalities

Hehheeh! Wala lang, this is what's taking most of my time right now. Reading about my personality. I'm narcissistic that way. Nung isang araw kasi humingi ng favor yung manager ko, kung pwede daw ba kami magparticipate dun sa sa isang quiz na kelangan niya for a class. Ako naman, with nothing else better to do: Sure! Henitayms! Saka mabait naman yung manager namin na yun, so I didn't mind.

Ayun pala personality traits quiz siya. I initially tested as an ISFJ. Mukhang swak naman dun sa ibang personality traits na nadescribe kaso parang may mga mali lang talaga! So I tried searching for another online test (see link above), and took the test again... The first test I took only had 2 possible answers each, Y or N. So medyo mahirap talaga sagutin lalo na kung tungkol sa kung pano ka mag-isip yung mga tanong... so malamang sa malamang hindi black and white yung sagot dun. Buti yung nakita kong bago may range of options na... So I guess it's more accurate. This time, INTP ako... which made more sense to me! Coffeemate! Hahahah!

Eto yung ISFJ (The Nurturer):
