Have y'all ever heard of MBTI? It's a personality assessment instrument that's used quite frequently in the workplace (including my own). Basically, each person has a four-letter "type" that's supposed to describe general personality inclinations along 4 dimensions:
Extroversion (E) vs Introversion (I) -- where you get your energy
Sensing (S) vs Intuition (N) -- how you gather and interpret information
Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F) -- how you make decisions
Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P) -- orientation towards outside world
In the past, I never gave much credence to MBTI but that's all changed! Because of a recent training I attended, I reevaluated and changed my type and can now confidently say that I'm an INFJ. I googled INFJ and reading the descriptions of INFJ personalities is like reading about myself! I totally identify with the "type" and it's actually helped me to better understand why I react to different circumstances in the way that I do.
There are lots of free online tests (click here for one) to help you determine which combination you are... I recommend taking one of these as a starting point, but then reading through the different type descriptions to really pinpoint which type you are. (Don't be surprised if it's different from your test results, since the questions can be interpreted very differently)
Next step... get hubby profiled :-)
