Space between

[phinnia]

Personality tests (like the Meyers-Briggs one) occasionally annoy me.
I took the test yesterday again, and of course I got a different result. I tend to fall squarely between two classifications, really depending on the day. If you believe in astrology this is probably because half the planets in my star chart are in retrograde and I'm on a cusp. I have no idea, personally. I just find that I fall between spots in most of these types of things.
Actually now that I think of it, the only thing that remains constant is the I. The others change, too, not just the last letter.
Conclusion: apparently I'm hard to classify.
That's not a bad thing, I suppose.

Ideas floating around in my head today include writing Evan-fic. I like Evan. He's so ... himself. LJ needs a spot for 'current plot bunny' or something. Hm. I wonder if you could add that into styles? Not that I am wise in the ways of S2 voodoo.
But yeah. Evanfic. Hopefullly, anyway.

Oh, no. *laughs* Character of mine by the name of Evan. :-) Irish guy, fond of Guinness, able to change things into other things.

The class I took on Myers-Briggs would actually say that being hard to classify is not only "not a bad thing," but should be what people strive for. The ideal in that test is to straddle the lines between classifications - essentially making you a more adaptable and more well-rounded individual.

I do think, though, that one of the biggest weaknesses in personality tests is as you said - they don't allow for dynamism. People are not generally static. We change, we adapt, we have /moods/. And the tests don't tend to take that into account.
