Does this title mean anything to anyone but me?
Before I go on to the post, I found out about this through poetry school: If you’re sixteen and older, you’re eligible, and there seems to be no fee to apply and a nice sum if you win. If you do win, be sure to let us know! Here’s the link: http://www.buildyourownblog.net/scholarship/. Good luck!

Hi, Matthew,No time! Sorry! Good luck with your business!
All best,

When I first entered college I got INFP.
About a year after that I got INFJ.
Then just before I graduated from college about 2 years later I got ENFP.
Now, over a decade later, in taking it last week, I got ENFJ. Of course, it's obvious that I'm pretty balanced between my E & I and my P & J, so at different times in my life I've shifted from one to the other for various reasons.
Still, it is interesting. When I first developed my characters I started by using Carol Tuttle's Four Energy Types Theory. This theory is a lot more stable, but can still be confusing because in the theory we each have all of the four types in us to varying degrees, yet many people have a strong secondary that effects their primary type a great deal. I for example am a Type 1 (air/nitrogen) but I have a very strong secondary Type 2 (water/hydrogen). What this means is that while I am rather light, random and bubbly, I also am much more subdued, detail oriented and calm than other type Ones. Still, it's lots of fun to explore different ways to understand personalities with all kinds of people, fictional or otherwise. I also enjoy the Chinese Medicine Five Elements Theory because they talk about how all the five types might do the same thing, (Like share the same hobby) but they will all do it for different reasons. Very interesting.
