introducing my good friend: meyers-briggs

You Are An ISFJ

The Nurturer

You have a strong need to belong, and you are very loyal.
A good listener, you excell at helping others in practical ways.
In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.
You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for.

You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.


i have taken this test maybe 4 times now (this is just a condensed version) and i am the same personality every time. and it's crazy because it describes the essence of me. i stayed at the base this week and came back to the apartment last night. the first thing i did... make scones. i couldn't help it. it was 23.00, i was tired, had been at a weekend camp with 10-13 year olds, and the only thing i could think about was "i need to bake something." i've also started making art projects and have quit saying that i'm not creative. deep down, i really am. i like to create - whether it be with a pen and paper, glue and cutouts from magazines, or decorating. i think it's quite exciting that we're not just one dimenstional.

i leave for india on friday. quite much to do, but i'm really excited! this past week i was in skien with my team. i'm excited to see how God will reveal Himself through them these next 8 weeks. as i wrote above, i went to a "camp" this weekend, really just a sleepover at a church. most of the kids weren't christian and i even spent time talking (in norwegian) with a muslim girl from afghanistan. there aren't many pastors who are so "real" that 20 non-christian kids, much less a muslim, would want to hang out at his church all weekend. i would like to see what God will do through this church in the next years.
