OCD much?

My roommates are doing personality tests tonight. I am a classic ENFP. But one roommate started saying that she thinks I'm a judger vs. Perceiver. I have taken this test numerous times, and rank high on the perceiver scale. After she said this, the other roommate jumped on board to say I'm a judger. So, I went and looked it up to see.

The following statements generally apply to me:

  • I like to stay open to respond to whatever happens.
  • I appear to be loose and casual. I like to keep plans to a minimum.
  • I like to approach work as play or mix work and play.
  • I work in bursts of energy.
  • I am stimulated by an approaching deadline.
  • Sometimes I stay open to new information so long I miss making decisions when they are needed.

I am clearly a P. I don't know why this bothered me so much. I mean, why does it matter what they think? And even so, it's probably better to be a Judger with the rest of the world. But for some reason, I felt the need to validate myself. I won't share this information with them, but I just had to know for myself. Why is it so important to me that a test tell me who I am?
I'm so irritated right now. Not with them, but to my reaction to the situation. It's my OCD coming out at it's best. Why? Why does it matter?
This is so irrelevant.

  1. I think you need to consider stop thinking "roommates" and start thinking "landlord/tenets"...because it sounds like they already are.
