Because there is no one more stubborn than a wooden goose....
I spent the entire day yesterday not writing this blog post on purpose.
Jenni - the faithful prompter and creator of Blogtember wanted me (and all the other participants) to take a personality test and then write about it and I took a very specific and hardcare stance that I wasn't going to take any personality test and not only that, she couldn't make me!
I have a not-so-secret block against personality tests because I have this strange belief their sole purpose is to fit me into a box – which reminds me too much of a coffin to be at all comfortable.
The second thing is I was afraid if I wrote something, I might make the other folks in Blogtember angry so I better keep my mouth shut.
So I wrote nothing on purpose and instead, wrote five poems while avoiding declaring to the world the test told me I am an ENFJ.
I have friends who will meet other ENFJs or whatever letters they are and squeal in delight.
I am not one of those.
Perhaps my personality traits include “Cantankerous, Quirky and Usually a Team Player but not so much today.”
My solution? I am choosing to post this essay a day late and then I’ll need to wait a couple hours until I tell the story of a distinct moment when my life took a turn.
The question for the next essay is which moment’s story do I tell?
I wonder if all ENFJ’s have these issues?
