In my TNT class, we spent the time studying different personality types. We used the Keirsey system, which is apparently similar in some ways to the Meyers-Briggs system.

For the record, I am an Idealist Champion. My letters are ENFP. That means I am an extrovert, intuitive, feeling, perception. I don’t really remember the numbers I got when I took the test earlier in the year, but I’m sure that I probably have both extrovert and introvert scores. I can be either depending on how tired I am.

It’s amazing to me how God made us all so different, not so we could have conflict but so we could complement each other and fill in where the other is lacking. That is why we have the Church. All of us coming together because I am strong where you are weak and visa-versa.

Extroverts are good. So are introverts. Each person brings his or her own strengths and weaknesses and each person is unique and valuable and has something to offer. I really believe that if the Church took more time to emphasize this, we’d be a lot better off.

I think that they should come up with a personality type test that matches you with a character from the TV show Friends. You could be all like, “I’m a Monica-Ross,” which means you are high in qualities that match Monica Gellar and lower in qualities that match Ross. That would be cool.

Don’t be ashamed of who you are just because you’re not like everybody else. Truthfully, no one is like everybody else. Some are better at blending in than others and hiding their own quirks. You being you is the best gift you can give to God and to the world.

On second thought, maybe a personality test based on Happy Days would be cool.
