When it comes to home and life issues you are surprisingly adaptable (but this is only a surprise to those who don't "get" you). You take on the challenges of home and hearth with the same energy that you bring to everything you do. You have and love beautiful things. Whatever your passion — make-up, clothes, art, china, cooking ware — you have the best, and in your opinion, the most beautiful. You are practical and adept at spending money wisely and fiscally; the only things you struggle with are big picture design issues and time. There is never enough of the latter and it is very hard to remember everything. What's easiest is finding a bargain on quality stuff; what's hardest is being on time.

If any of this sounds eerily familiar then you are probably Fun. Whether you love a good party or would prefer a quiet night at home, read on to see if you are Fun Structure or Fun Freedom.

  • Fun Structures • STP

    FUN STRUCTUREs (STP) are more logical than your FUN FREEDOM (SFP) counterparts. Usually described as tolerant and flexible, theories and conceptual explanations tend to make you ... "AAHHYAA" ... yawn. You are more interested in cause and effect; what's real. FUNS get things done but are flexible about the when and how — thriving at improvising in the moment to solve problems and meet deadlines. Conflict isn't bothersome to you if it can be easily solved or ignored. This doesn't mean that you don't have feelings, you just don't get as worked up about conflict as so many people do, which means you often make great diplomats in tense situations. 

    How does this play out in the home and life arena? You take on the challenges of home and hearth with the same energy that you bring to everything. You have and love beautiful things but are practical and adept at spending money wisely; the only things you struggle with are big picture design issues, time and sometimes keeping your options open too long. In fact that latter is often what trips you up in terms of being on time. FUN STRUCTURES (STP) make up about 10-15% of the American population.

    EXTROVERTED FUN STRUCTUREs (ESTPs) tend to have the above characteristics but are also outgoing, friendly and easy to get to know. 6-8% of the American population.

    INTROVERTED FUN STRUCTUREs (ISTPs) tend to have the above characteristics but are also private by nature, calm and sometimes reserved. 4-7% of the American population.

  • Fun Freedoms • SFP

    FUN FREEDOMs (SFP) are the 'lovers of life & fun' and always described as friendly. You adapt readily to new people and environments and are often as practical as you are playful. You quickly tire of routine, but if it's a chore, you figure out a way to make it fun. You get things done but are flexible about the when and how — you're great at improvising. You pay attention to the details and can easily be overwhelmed by massive, big picture projects (you will eventually figure it out and get it done, it'll just take you longer than others types). You do not love conflict and do many things to avoid it.

    How does this play out in the home and life arena? You take on the challenges of home and hearth with the same energy that you bring to everything. You have and love beautiful things but you are practical and adept at spending money wisely; the only things you struggle with are big picture design issues, time and sometimes keeping your options open too long. The latter is often what trips you up in terms of being on time. FUN FREEDOM (SFP) make up about 13-17% of the American population.

    EXTROVERTED FUN FREEDOMs (ESFPs) tend to have the above characteristics but are also outgoing, friendly and easy to get to know. 8-10% of the American population.

    INTROVERTED FUN FREEDOMs (ISFPs) tend to have the above characteristics but are also private by nature, calm and sometimes reserved. 5-7% of the American population.
