An old friend of mine just sent a link around to this MotherStyles quiz and I found it really interesting. It’s a Myers-Briggs type quiz analyzing your mothering/parenting style. Turns out I’m an INTP mom, or a “Love of Learning” mom, who excels at calmness, and fostering independence and love of learning, but struggles with routine and order. I think that’s pretty accurate, and if I remember correctly, my Myers-Briggs type is INTP as well.
What’s your mothering style?

My Myer’s Briggs type is E N/S (tie) TJ
Mom type was ESTJ — How To MOM.
Nearly opposite of you… gave me a chuckle…. I’ll bet it fits… for better or worse.
@Rachael: Mine fits pretty well. Oliver’s not in school yet, but I can totally imagine having trouble getting him out the door on time. I just went and took the Myers-Briggs test to find out my results for sure, it says I’m an INTJ, which fits me, but I read the INTP description too and I think that fits me a fair amount of the time as well.
If anyone is interested in finding their Myers-Briggs type, I used the test at Humanmetrics.com.
