Thanks so much for all the help everyone.
Yep, I am ISTP and used to always test INTJ ? LOL
She's definately an N. I come from a very SP family and she's really different! For Christmas I gave her the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe, she loves poetry, literature, and all that stuff which didn't interest me at that age. Also she's an A student in everything except history which she claims is the most difficult for her because she can't keep track of a bunch of facts and then remember things sequentially. She's very conceptual and once she learns something she just applies it. Wants to be a journalist.
P - likes her time unstructured (yet still manages to get it all done when it needs to be - schoolwork)
- her room = complete disaster
- hates routines and often plays before working
- not really goal oriented
J - likes to finish projects
- in the end she is always prepared, never forgets to do homework,
She is very popular with all the adults she encounters. On many occasions she has been asked to speak at our church, deliver the children's sermon, update the congregation on the youth projects etc. At school the teachers all say that they want to adopt her. She was the first kid in her year to win the Student of the Month award, she student mentors two boys in Physics at 6:30 am, she is the head of the JV German club (the teacher just asked her to assist him), she colorguards for the marching band and initially applied to be the Squad Captain even though that's usually for Seniors and Juniors. She ended up pulling her application because she decided to work another summer full-time as a camp counsellor and it would have conflicted. After she did that the Marching Band teacher and the Drum Majors told her that while they understand her decision, they would have picked her to be the first Sophmore Captain in many, many years. What I keep hearing is how very 'inspirational' she is to everyone around her, and also very responsible. Ha - if they could only see the state of her bedroom!
Now that I've thought some more about it, perhaps the incident with the friend she cold-shouldered was a BIG deal to her but as an adult (and SP) I think differently. Basically the cold-shouldered friend as a joke wrote a list of names of kids she suspected to be doing drugs and threw it into a trash can where a teacher found it and turned it in to the principal. A couple of my daughters friends were on the list and apparently they have never touched drugs. My daughters attitude is "what kind of a stupid, unloyal, idiot would do that and besides, half of the names aren't druggies anyhow. How can I trust someone like that?" This girl has apologized and the office didn't contact parents but it makes no difference. Done deal - goodbye. I really like this girl and had hoped that they would patch it up.
