What’s Your Mothering Style?

My friend, Ami, at Cup Runneth Over introduced me to this short quiz. My results, I think, were dead on . . . however, since self-perception is not always reality, I’ll be interested to see what those who know me best think about my results ;-)

ENTJ - The Executive Mother

Competent and confident in a management role, the ENTJ mother organizes the needs and schedules of family members into a workable family system. Within the system, she provides her children with care-taking, direction, and limits, but she also gives them space to develop their own self-sufficiency and judgment.
Analytical and adept at problem-solving, the ENTJ mother listens to her children’s concerns empathetically and then strategizes with them how to improve the situation—either by intervening on their behalf or backing off to let them solve problems on their own. She particularly enjoys watching them take responsibility and accomplish something they find important on their own.
Intense and insightful, the ENTJ mother is cued in to her children’s intellectual and emotional development. She uses her quickness and communication skills to talk things through and help her children connect with people and better understand life.

    I’m an ISTJ —The “Responsibility” Mother which is probably accurate because I always get ISTJ on those regular personality quizzes.

    I’m the Giving Mother too. (Tiffanie) I love being a stay at home mom and definitely have a hard time saying no. I also volunteer at my church and Robby’s school. What a great short quiz. Fun!
