Personality Tests

So I was staring at the blank About Me section, expecting the words to come easily. I discovered that I apparently do not know myself. So how better to learn about myself than to take an online personality test? Apparently I am ENFJ (Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging ).... which happens to be (according to http://www.personalitytest.net:

Outstanding leader of groups. Can be aggressive at helping others to be the best that they can be. 5% of the total population.

The ENFJs optimistic outlook toward social relationships is a burden to them at times. When external conflicts affect a group, the ENFJ is likely to assume responsibility. Their ability to empathize then turns into a liability. ENFJs, when over-identifying with the pain of others, will loose sight of their own concerns and interests. Their idealism can also be the cause of some distress when their assumptions are unable to weather the winds of reality. Fantasized relationships rarely translate into reality and even the best charismatic leader encounters unexpected resistance.

Like all NFs, ENFJs will disassociate themselves from stressful situations in an effort to protect their sense of well-being and togetherness. The ENFJ, however, will repress the unpleasant side of life only to have to face it later in an intensified form when it explodes from its hiding place. It can manifest itself as fits of anger, sudden outbursts, or emotional explosions. Often the ENFJ's body will reflect pent-up stress by manifesting various physical symptoms that will erupt unexpectedly.

I prefer the definition listed here: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFJ.html

But that's me in a nutshell. Amazingly enough, it is a very good general description. Kind of scary, actually. But I still don't have anything for my About Me section. So I will continue to scour the internet to find out about myself.
