Personality Test - How Do You Score?

Gregory sent this Myers-Briggs personality test, it actually had decent questions but I still find myself struggling to answer some of the questions because I'm not always in the same mood or frame of mind. Then I'm left with trying to assess what I might be the majority of the time and that becomes difficult for me. In any case, it determined that I am an INFP (the Idealist).

Cathleen and Gregory scored the same, INTJ (the Scientist) but different percentages. Why does that not surprise me that they are so similar? I am almost certain that Tory will come out an INFP too, and Grammy too for that matter. Oh, I just found out that Tory is an ISFP (the Artist), reading it I would agree.

Here are some famous INFPs:
Princess Diana, Michel de Montaigne, J.K. Rowling, Anton Chekhov

Interesting facts: Princess Diana was born just 3 months after me (July 1, 1961), she is also a distant relative according to Cathleen's genealogy research, up the Baker/Strong side, we share the same 10th great grandfather (Elder John Strong, he had 18 children so he has many descendants).

Here are the careers that INFPs are ideal for:
Counseling, Religious Education, Education, Art/ScienceHumanities, Web Design, Musician, Literature/Writer, Archaeology, Health Care, Psychology/Psychotherapist

I think that this is a relatively accurate assessment of me. I think though that I'm not all that constant in my personality. Some days I feel very extraverted, other days I feel more introverted. Some days I feel like fixing the world, other days I feel apathetic. In fact, I retook the test and this time I feel that I answered more accurately and it said I was an ISFP (the Artist), like Tory. However, I changed one answer (I worry more about the future than day to day preoccupations = yes) and it put me back to INFP, which after reading both of the profiles, I tend to agree with more. My point is, Tory's and my personalities are pretty similar.

How do you score, and more importantly, do you agree with the assessment?

Cursed Costco Milk Containers!

I can't stand it any more, I had to go out and see who else is complaining about this. I'd rather pay $.20 more for a container that doesn't force me to wipe up a huge mess every time I pour milk. Here specifically is what I'm talking about (it's not just me folks)!

If you are as annoyed about this as I am, I urge you to contact these idiots via the following contacts (note this is a reply to a customer "Michael" who likewise couldn't stand it any more):

I have had enough, it is maddening and it is time for me to speak up.
