Personality Type

So, in an effort to decompress from my busy, overly emotional day, I decided to take the personality test suggested by my friend; author of the blog www.schreibtischdc.blogspot.com (also seen in sidebar) and here are my results...

Ta-dah, your personality type is ISTJ!

Introverted (I) 89% Extraverted (E) 11%
Sensing (S) 59% Intuitive (N) 41%
Thinking (T) 80% Feeling (F) 20%
Judging (J) 86% Perceiving (P) 14%

One of the questions was actually something about sharing about myself with others, and I am pretty sure I said I don't do that very often, so I am obviously breaking from the mold here to share this personal information. =)

ugh

I think I may be a little stressed out ...

The reason I think so is because for the second time in less than a week I have wanted to throttle someone for making me angry (neither person was one of my children).

I usually am able to get along* with everyone even if I don't like them, don't agree with them, or if they say something that bothers me. In general, I am difficult to offend because I can usually see things from multiple perspectives and understand what prompted them to say what they did (even if it was tactless, offensive, or inconsiderate).

[*Note: This does not mean that I am all sweet and sugar with everyone because although I do try to be polite and respectful with everyone, if I am anything, I try to be genuine.]

Anyway, after today's experience with one of my unfavorite people, I really wanted to scream, left the area with less grace & lots of frustration, and cried. This is definitely not like me!

Stress, surely that is the cause?! Yes?! (hopefully)
