What type of mother are you

From mother crone’s homeschool

go here

Your type is: intp ?The ?Love of Learning? Mother

?I keep the encyclopedia in the kitchen so we can look up things together while we eat.?

  • Intellectually curious and patient, the INTP mother relishes those times with a child when they are learning something interesting together. Whether they?re at the zoo or computer terminal, she sparks to answering his or her ?whys? with in-depth responses or new knowledge.
  • The INTP mother is also objective and introspective. She listens to and discusses children?s ideas and questions as she would those of a peer, fostering self-esteem and confidence. Open and non-directive, she allows children the freedom to do for themselves and quietly encourages them to believe they can do it.
  • Independence, autonomy, intellectual development, and self-reliance are probably the INTP?s highest priorities for her children. An avid reader, she naturally imparts an appreciation and love of reading as well.
  • Drawn to all types of learning, the INTP may also value her mothering experience for all the new insights about life it provides her.

Actually, going through old blogs, I am usually an ISFP – so just putting that in gives:
Your type is: isfp ?The ?Giving? Mother

?A people pleaser from Day One, it took me 30 years to
figure out I could say ?no.??

  • Quiet and unassuming in her devotion, the ISFP mother is responsive to her children?s needs, offering behind-the-scenes love and support. She is gentle and non-intrusive, flexible and adaptable.
  • A ?be there? mother, the ISFP takes pleasure in physically caring for her children and doing for them. Her best times might be ?doing little things? with each child one-on-one.
  • More than anything, the ISFP mother wants her children to know they are loved. And she enjoys being needed in return.
  • Dedicated to raising children who are responsible and care for others, she favors a non-directive approach: instilling values by setting a good example. She may be a strong role model for community service.


hmm! i prefer the first option – have been an INTJ before as well,

Your type is: intj ??The ?Individual Integrity? Mother

?My kids are better off arguing their own point of view than telling me, ?But everyone else is doing it.??

  • Individualistic and independent, the INTJ mother is both a role model and teacher of how to be an individual and live life with integrity. She is introspective, defining her own success from within, and generally confident in her decisions. She is unlikely to be persuaded by her children saying, ?But all the other mothers are doing it.?
  • The INTJ is competent in providing for her children?s basic needs, but she is likely more focused on developing their self-esteem and confidence. Observant and insightful, she puts great importance on independent thinking and self-sufficiency, yet she is comfortable providing protection and boundaries.
  • Self-motivated and intense, the INTJ works hard and takes life seriously. As a mother, she lives for those moments when she can impart knowledge and offer her children perspectives on life and important issues.

?so I guess i am probably a mixture – as always! I think the first is more what I aim to be, but I do see myself in the other 2 as well. what does anybody else think?

  1. Not sure any of them at totally you, the 3rd most perhaps?

  2. I think they all sound like you but the middle one sounds most like the kinds of things you blog about doing with your girls. I’m INTJ and the “everyone else is doing it” argument not washing sounds about right! The INTP on the quiz was alot like me too though.

  3. I did like the quiz. i also liked guessing where I would put people that i knew!!
