deird1I did the Myers-Briggs today (as part of my career counseling for wow-you-totally-stopped-doing-your-job-and-started-failing-at-life stress breakdown thing).
It was... rather fun. Mainly because I am very strange, and thus came up with weird ways of figuring out my answers to all the questions.
Such as:
Would you rather be friends with someone who is bubbly, or someone who is down-to-earth?
...to which I thought very seriously, for several minutes, about whether I would rather hang out with Pinkie Pie, or Applejack.
And then there was a question about whether I'd prefer being intelligent or kind-hearted, so I tried to figure out whether I would rather be Twilight Sparkle or Fluttershy...
It makes sense, though! Really! I'm not just strange! If you think about it, the ponies are on a show for little girls, so their characters all have to be fairly simplistic and stereotypical so the teeny six-year-old brains don't get confused. Which means that, when tackling a questionaire that asks about different stereotypical personality stuff, using ponies as examples WORKS REALLY WELL.
*sighs* I might as well face it – I have lost my heart to MLP:FiM, and I'm not getting it back.
