How self-monitoring are you?

[sammy]

61, neither high nor low. Could this possibly be associated with whether or not one is an ambivert?

I don't get it...

If you don't observe your own behavior, how can you accurately answer the questions?

Unless your preconceived notions about yourself just happen to coincide with the truth?

I THINK (based on what I remember from school psych) even low self-monitorers observe their own behavior, they're just not worried about how it fits in.

Your score is 53, on a scale of 0 (low self-monitor) to 100 (high self-monitor). You are neither a high nor low self-monitor.

Something is wrong with the test? I consider myself to be a high self-monitor... I'm a chameleon.

Question for you... what is Fe if not a chameleon? I suppose I tried to hard to please people in the past. So much so that the real me is now lost amidst the layers of self and acceptable selves.

I think that pleasing people and mirroring people are different.

But I don't know anything about MBTI. I suggest you PM Jennifer with that question.

*grumbles at Haight* Oh very well... poor Jennifer...

I think that pleasing people and mirroring people are different.

It depends on how you define "pleasing people."

Mirroring seems to occur when one possesses anxiety over not instinctively knowing how to relate to others (especially strangers), so you observe them and reflect back to them the style [and general content approach] they show to you... to reduce the possibility of mishap or discomfort.

On one level, this could be considered "pleasing people" (you're giving them what you perceive they naturally would want, since it's what THEY do)... but on another level, this is very different than the general trait some people have of just wanting to make others happy by giving to them or fulfilling their desires.

That sort of "people-pleasing" is different, it's meant to gratify rather than just to ease potential conflict or avoid mistakes, and I would make a distinction.

*grumbles at Haight* Oh very well... poor Jennifer...

PM me if you'd like, dear, I don't mind chatting about it... sorta fun.

I'm a High Self-Monitorerererrr.

I read the book. I don't need to take the test.

I changed my mind:

Your score is 85, on a scale of 0 (low self-monitor) to 100 (high self-monitor). You are a HIGH self-monitor.


High self monitors:

* show variability in behavior in different contexts, and are extremely flexibile in adapting to their current situation
* tend to have different public and private personas and are careful about mixing different social circles
* tend to make better managers and do better in jobs that involve influencing other people (sales, marketing, hiring, politicians)
