The giver?

So, I did one of those quick personality tests. To be honest, how accurate can it be when it only took about 30 secs to complete? But I quite liked the result ENFJ, since I matched the likes of Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey and the picture was of Jesus ;) tho who decides they are those types who onlly knows. Anyway, it's only a bit of fun, tho what can be useful is my reaction to the description. I was disappointed to get the word "judging" and could relate to the feelings of loneliness - I've been reflecting on that recently.
When I did it a second time (same questions, maybe I thought about it a bit longer? I rethought my answer on the question about if I'm traditional and serious - I do see myself like that bit when I thought about it more, I don't actually think I'm very traditional at all) I replaced the judging with perceiving, ending up with ENFP, the inspirer - I think this may be slightly more like me, or maybe I just preferred the description? ;)

I also very much enjoyed this blog by Nadia Bolz Weber, on saying "yes" along with her one the previous day on saying "no"

Today I have a bit of a dilemma around just how giving I can be. My solicitor has a form we need to complete together. As the local branch is now closed she suggested a coffee shop but I really didn't want to do it publicly so I've invited her to my house after work today. I will want to make her a brew but can't fail to be conscious that every second is costly. To offer biscuits or not, that is the question :D

...
Biscuit, grapes, mug, milk all lined up ready to go so I don't have to spend a second longer than necessarily. Pressure?!
... 16 mins by my reckoning. She was as speedy as she could be, bless her, and declined brew, biscuit and grapes! I can see why she had to see me, it was to explain the form I had to sign in triplicate about how I understand I'll be imprisoned if I don't adhere to what I've agreed. Cheery. I nearly broke my neck tripping up the stairs trying to go get some info at top speed, but otherwise all went well and hopefully the last time we'll need to meet :)
