I'm wondering if anyone here has done a Myers Briggs personality test on yourself? There are lots of websites to do this, some brief ones are free, a really detailed one you have to pay for. I just find it interesting that many of us who suffer with IBS have similarities in our personality - perfectionist, not easy to open up, don't share our feelings easily (except maybe here!), don't think our feelings are valid, deal with anxiety about many things, just generally lots of pent up "stuff" that we don't let out in productive ways and so eventually take their toll on our insides if we aren't careful! And yet those who know us would probably describe us as solid, confident people because we keep all this stuff so well hidden.
I'd taken this test in the past and answered according to the kind of person I was trying to be, thought everyone wanted me to be, etc etc, and came out with a result of ENTJ or something like that. Natural leader, life of the party, everybody's buddy kind of thing (can't remember exactly). But I took it recently in part of my attempt to get to know myself better and came out with INFJ. Very interesting!! Took a couple different versions just to see if it would remain consistent and it did. Turns out I'm complex and strange, and some of the descriptions even mention SPECIFICALLY that this type is prone to physical problems resulting from pent up feelings, etc. Pretty interesting stuff, I think! Anyone else know "what" you are?
