Particularly this:
...jump from thought to thought in mid-sentence, touching here or there in a manner that's almost incoherent to the listener, but will eventually cover the waterfront by skipping on impulse from one piece of information to another.
Wow...that is totally ME!
The test is a simple one with yes or no answers. There are around 50 questions. It will show you the following (though your scores will be different):
| Your Type is ESFP |
| Extraverted | Sensing | Feeling | Perceiving |
| Strength of the preferences % | |||
| 11 | 12 | 50 | 22 |
You are:
- slightly expressed extravert
- slightly expressed sensing personality
- moderately expressed feeling personality
- slightly expressed perceiving personality
Then it will offer links that give you a whole mess of information about YOU.
Here is a link to the test:

If you decide to take the test, be sure to read all of your result information because only reading part of it will make you think it is way off. I thought so at first but when it told me, very specifically a job that would be right for me I laughed because it is what I do at Zachary's school and I love it, and I am good at it.
What else it said about me that is absolutely true:
ESFPs love to talk to people about people. Almost every ESFP loves to talk. Some can be identified by the twenty minute conversation required to ask or answer a simple factual question. (If you were to ask anyone what my worst trait would be, this would be it).
There is more than one link that talks about your results. Check them all out because they all offer something different. There is a section about 4 different temperaments. I am labeled the "artisan" I was kind of surprised that I wasn't the "idealist" because I am accused of that so often. But when I checked out that profile I found that I am not really like that. Maybe certain things in my life appear that way, it is not me as a whole. I fit my label very well!
If you wish, take the test and share your results too!

Artisan™ Portrait of the Promoter (ESTP)
There are lots of Promoters, maybe ten or so percent of the population, and life is never dull around them. In a word, they are men and women of action. When a Promoter is present, things begin to happen: the lights come on, the music plays, the games begin. Clever and full of fun, Promoters live with a theatrical flourish which makes even the most routine events seem exciting. Not that they waste much time on routine events. In work and in play, Promoters demand new activities and new challenges. Bold and daring at heart, and ever-optimistic that things will go their way, Promoters will take tremendous risks to get what they want, and seem exhilarated by walking close to the edge of disaster. Because of this, they make the very best trouble-spot administrators and negotiators, and they can be outstanding entrepreneurs, able to swing deals and kick-start enterprises in a way no other type can.
Promoters also have a hearty appetite for the finer things of life, the best food, the best wine, expensive cars, and fashionable clothes. And they are extremely sophisticated in social circles, knowing many, many people by name, and knowing how to say just the right thing to most everyone they meet.
Charming, confident, and popular, Promoters delight their friends and investors with their endless supply of stories and jokes. At the same time, these smooth operators are usually something of a mystery to others. While they live in the moment and lend excitement - and unpredictability - to all their relationships, they rarely let anyone get really close to them. They have a low tolerance for authority and commitment, and are likely to leave situations where they are expected to toe the mark, or where they must play second fiddle. Promoters understand well the maxim, "He who travels fastest, travels alone," although they are not likely to be lonely for long, since their boldness and sense of adventure tends to make them highly attractive to many other people.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway, John F. Kennedy, Donald Trump, Madonna, George C. Patton, Evita Peron, Winston Churchill, Grace Slick, and Teddy Roosevelt are examples of the Promoter Artisan temperament.
