Your type is: infj —The “Know Thyself” Mother
“I believe the joy of motherhood is self-discovery—for them and for me.”
Sensitive and family-focused, the INFJ mother looks for and encourages the unique potential of each child. Self-knowledge may be her byword. Her aim is to help each child develop a sense of identity and cultivate personal growth. In fact, she may value the mothering experience as a catalyst to her own personal growth and self-knowledge.
The INFJ mother spends time observing and understanding each child. She is drawn to intimate conversations and seeks a free exchange of feelings and thoughts.
Sympathetic and accommodating, the INFJ mother strives to meet the important yet sometimes conflicting needs of each family member in harmonious and creative ways
She is conscientious and intense as well. Probably no one takes life and child-raising more seriously than the INFJ. She approaches mothering as a profession requiring her best self.
yea i would have to say this pretty much describes me. kinda cool actually. i took the test twice. once with 100% honest answers and a second time i answered how i thought i would like to see myself. funny thing is i REALLY liked the INFJ description muuuuuch better than the other description i got...so i am glad i took it both times...seems i am on the right track as an INFJ mama!! woo hoo!

How funny! I'm the "Know Thyself" Mother, too.
i'm the independence mother. it fits , i posted it.
fun one thanks for sharing.
I'm the same type. Funny thing is when I've taken the full MBPI in the past, I've been INTJ. Becoming a mother changed my T to an F. Interesting.
Know Thyself. But really, I don't think I sounds like any of those things.
"Sympathetic and accommodating"? Meh, ask my kids, they'll tell you the truth :D
I was the "How-To" mother.
Thanks for sharing. That was fun.

Your type is: estj —The “How-To” Mother
“We’re the mothers you like to carpool with. Not only are we on time, we organize the driving schedule for everyone.”
Organized and comfortable being in charge, the ESTJ mother knows “how to” get things done, make things happen, and accomplish much on behalf of her children. Whether she is encouraging them to get involved in organized activities or talking with them about their personal concerns, children of the ESTJ mother learn “how to” succeed in life.
Upbeat and matter-of-fact, the ESTJ mother is intent on her children having the best. She puts her skills and talents to work to this end, from planning trips that supplement their studies to raising funds for new playground equipment. She is happiest when her efforts produce concrete results — children who try out for teams, participate in academic competitions, or are leaders among their peers.
The ESTJ mother runs a tight household. She is apt to have predictable expectations, consistent routines, standard procedures, and well-defined boundaries, all of which help her children feel protected and secure.
I don't really like this test or what it's telling me. I think I'll keep the results to myself. I think yours pretty much called it right though!
