Take the test!
Thanks to the lovely applications on Facebook (which I truly despise...not f-book but those damn apps), I recently took a version of the Myers-Briggs personality test and found out I was still, in fact an ESFJ (Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging) personality type. I guess I figured that in the last two years since I've taken the test, it might have changed. But sure enough, I'm still "the helper" or "provider" as the tests determined.
"Providers are very likely more than ten percent of the population, and this is very fortunate for the rest of us, because friendly social service is a key to their nature. Highly cooperative themselves, Providers are skilled in maintaining teamwork among their helpers, and are also tireless in their attention to the details of furnishing goods and services. They make excellent chairpersons in charge of social events. They are without peer as masters of ceremonies, able to approach others with ease and confidence, and seemingly aware of what everyone's been doing. And they are outstanding hosts or hostesses, able to remember people's names, usually after one introduction, and always concerned about the needs of their guests, wanting to insure that all are involved and provided for."
I just took it again tonight and yep, still the same. I suggest you take the test and follow the links at the end that will give you a description of your type, information about how you handle relationships and who you would best be paired with, and even suggestions on potential career fields. Or, add the application to your Facebook page. That test has a lot of cool insights into your personality, relationships and the works! Which reminds me, I still have reading to do on that. *The actual Myers-Briggs Type Indicator costs a little bit of dinero and is administered by a real live person.
You think you know yourself until you start reading a description of people like you and realize "oh yeah, that's why I do that." Anyway, have at it!
Now the question is: is it appropriate to ask someone to take the Myers-Briggs to see if we're compatible on date #2? Haha...only kidding. I would never be that mean. And besides, there would actually have to be a date #1.

I hate these kinds of things that typecast individuals, however, the description is remarkably accurate.
The bigger question looms - what advantage does knowing your (or your partner's) personality type provide?
And, I have no idea what advantage knowing a partner's personality type provides, but it would allow me to better understand the person.
