The Homeless Holmes are Two Compatible Personalities

I like saying we're the homeless Holmes... not because I like being homeless, but because I like how corny it is. I rather like having the name "Holmes". But really, if I' honest it could have been "Winterbottom" for all I care... I just love Joel. :)

We're living at Mom's right now... and since I last posted, it has been one of the most exhausting weeks of my life. We moved out on Thursday, finished moving on Friday, then headed up north to visit my Turner relations for the long weekend. It was so much fun... and I even tried a bit of photography! (I can hear Ashley crowing) But I'll post that later for you. Maybe if I say I'll post it, I actually will :p Since then, I've been working 9 hour days making up for lost time last week. Up early (I won't say when), on the bus at 7:15, at work at 8, back again at 5:30. Anywho... enough about my busy life, because honestly... I'm bored typing about it.

On to something more interesting: I had to take a personality test for work because I'm often their test subject for experiments. This one is about emotion while driving and how music affects that. Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, I am an ENFJ, or an Idealistic Teacher. You can click the link to see what that means, but this is the kicker: I took this test when Joel and I started going out back in 2008... and my personality has shifted! I used to be an INFJ, but am now 50% more extroverted. How's that? Marry an introvert and become an extrovert!


Me in 2008:
Your Type is: INFJ
Strength of the preferences: Introverted 11%, Intuitive 88%, Feeling 25%, Judging 44%

Me in 2011:
Your Type is: ENFJ
Strength of the preferences: Extroverted 44%, Intuitive 25%, Feeling 38%, Judging 44%









If you are interested, Joel is an INTP, or an Architect. We're both rare (go figure) him less than 1% of the population and me less than 2%. Both thankfully, we're still compatible according to Dr. Keirsey :p I will rest easy knowing that my husband and I are compatible! hehe... I guess God knew what He was doing :) I'll have to post Joel and I's love story some day... its a good one, but I'm biased. :)




Two last things:

One, the pictures were taken by Colleen, obviously :)

And two, I really love my hubby. And he's very handsome. See?

Just so you know. :D
