Personalities and Music

Today, I was out on the street with my project. I went out in the morning for about an hour and a half and again in the afternoon for about another hour. Not many people were too interested in it today, but like I said in the last post, I am okay with that because I still do the Patch Adams thing. This seemed to work like a charm!

During my lunch break, a couple of my housemates and I were talking about the Enneagram and the Myers-Briggs personality tests and talking about what they all mean. It is interesting to hear each other talk about our own personality test results (I am an ENFP and a 9 wing 8 by the way). We talked about what the letter and numbers meant. E for Extrovert, I for Introvert, N for intuition, S for sensing, F for feeling, T for thinking, J for Judging and P for Perceiving. The numbers are listed below:

1. The Reformer (The rational, idealistic type) 
2. The Helper (The caring, interpersonal type) 
3. The Achiever (The success-oriented, pragmatic type) 
4. The Individualist (The sensitive, withdrawn type) 
5. The Investigator (The intense, cerebral type) 
6. The Loyalist (The committed and security-oriented type)
7. The Enthusiast (The busy, fun-loving type) 
8. The Challenger (The powerful, dominating type) 
9. The Peacemaker (The easygoing, self-effacing type) 

Each of these tells us how each other function more times than not. We all agreed that it helps us know how to interact with others that can seem a bit more difficult to understand. These are great tools to use in ministry but need to be looked at as tools and not divisions or the end-all. 

After this, we switched topics to music and was trying to find out what the name of a specific band was. Finally, we found out that the band we were looking for was Linkin Park. we then listened to a few songs on the Bluetooth speaker. We ranged music from Linkin Park to Panic! At The Disco to Fergie to JD Sumners and many more! It was a good lunch break with my housemates!
