Personality

I had a retreat at work yesterday (expertly coordinated by Suzanne!) Part of the day we focused on StrengthsQuest (you take a test and it gives you SUPER individual results about what your strengths are). I was telling Steve and Wm at breakfast today about how I, at first, assumed it was like Myers-Briggs (the personality test with the same 8 codes for everyone). But then, at the retreat, I noticed that even those of us that got one of the same codes had totally different explanations about how it applied to us. So each thing is totally individual. Pretty fancy!! Wm asked what Myers-Briggs was so I was explaining and started with Extrovert-Introvert (ENFJ for the win!) After my explanation…

Me: So what do you think Daddy is?
Wm: I don't know. Extrovert?
Steve: Introvert!
Me: Remember, introverts are kind of quiet, a little shy. Extroverts are loud and talk a lot. What do you think you are?
Wm: INTROVERT.
Me: Ha! You take after your dad. What do you think I am?
Wm: DEFINITELY extrovert!!! You are like "ba ba ba ba ba baaaaaa" all the time. [making yapping hand motion]

I spend my life trying to get someone in my family to talk to me. Forever ignored!!!!

Next week is Wm's last week of Summer Clubhouse!! We are all very sad. :(  No one is ready for school to start! He went to COSI on Monday, a metro park yesterday, and is off to Graeter's today. He loves it! He asked when he will "age out of Clubhouse." Killed me!
HA!
