Ah, the great personality tests. These three will be the fifth, sixth and seventh I've taken at UNT so far. Every time I take one I can see how much more trouble my personality types gets me in :-D

The Meyers-Briggs Indicator has me at ENFP
Strength of the preferences%
Extraverted - 22%    Intuitive - 12%    Feeling - 94%    Perceiving - 56%

And states:

IDEALIST - Portrait of a Champion

Like the other Idealists, Champions  are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types.

Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible.

Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company. Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen.

Joan Baez, Phil Donahue, Paul Robeson, Bill Moyer, Elizibeth Cady Stanton, Joeseph Campbell, Edith Wharton, Sargent Shriver, Charles Dickens, and Upton Sinclair are examples of Idealist Champions

It also says I should be either a musician or a marketer... I'm BOTH!

The Kolb's Inventory says I prefer Doing and Feeling in the organizing category:
* Good at adapting to changing circumstances and solves problems in an intuitive, trial-and-error manner, such as discovery learning.
* Tends to be at ease with people.
* Prefers the challenges of new experiences, involvement with others, assimilations, and role-playing.
* Likes anything new, problem solving, and small group discussions.

AND...

My lLearning Style is:

  ACT         X                                        REF
           11  9   7   5   3   1   1   3   5   7   9   11
                              <-- -->
      SEN                                                    X    INT
           11  9   7   5   3   1   1   3   5   7   9   11
                              <-- -->
      VIS                      X                            VRB
           11  9   7   5   3   1   1   3   5   7   9   11
                              <-- -->
      SEQ                                                    X    GLO
           11  9   7   5   3   1   1   3   5   7   9   11
                              <-- -->

Which roughly translated means...

I am an active, and intuitive global learner.

Which always seems to get me in trouble HAHA!
