Do you know “16 personalities”?

“Do you know MBTI test? I am “an entertainer” by nature, you know.” said my colleague. I nodded in conviction.
In my company, I have been assigned to a task team whose purpose is promoting informal communication inside the workplace and fostering psychological safety.
As a part of that activity, today we held a kickoff meeting for an event online. That colleague actively kept writing something short and funny in the chatbox, and helped us creating exciting, neat atmosphere during the meeting. We were really grateful to her. The utterance in the first line was her reply to me my thank-you message after that meeting.

Then I tried MBTI. The result was somewhat convincing for me, but I also thought that it was not that stable test and I could have different results each time I try it.

I reported to her, “I tried MBTI and found that I’m INFP type(that one who is playing with flowers).”Then she replied, “I knew that you’re that sort of person (playing with flowers)!”


「MBTIってやったことありますか?私は根っからのエンターテイナーなんですよ」と今日同僚が言っていた。なるほど、と納得した。
私は職場で、部署のinformal communication促進を通じて帰属意識と心理的安全性を高める活動にアサインされている。そのため今日はオンラインでイベントの説明会を開催したのだが、その同僚は、チャットで積極的に短く面白い発言をして、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれた。
そのお礼を言うと、その返事が冒頭の発言であったわけである。
私もMBTIをやってみた。結果は「なるほど」という感じではあったが、もじかしたら、診断するたびに違う結果が出るかもなあとも思った。
「わたし、INFPでした(お花と戯れてるやつ)」と伝えたら、「イメージ通り(お花と戯れてそう)です!」と返信があった。

I am “an entertainer” by nature, you know.” said my colleague.


"I am an 'entertainer' by nature, you know.,” said my colleague. "I am an 'entertainer' by nature, you know,” said my colleague.

When we use quotes within another quote, we use a single quote instead of double.

I am “an entertainer” by nature, you know. said my colleague. I am “an entertainer” by nature, you know. said my colleague.

I nodded in conviction.


I nodded inwith conviction. I nodded with conviction.

You might have meant nodded "in agreement" here.

I nodded in convictionagreement. I nodded in agreement.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here

I nodded in convictionagreement. I nodded in agreement.

"Nodded in agreement" is the correct term

I nodded in conviction.(acknowledgement / agreement) I nodded in (acknowledgement / agreement)

"conviction" is a _very_ strong phrase. It's the type of thing you might say about someone resolved to enter a life threatening situation like a soldier entering a war or a rescuer entering a burning building. At other times it can have a negative connotation, like the conviction of a religious zealot. It doesn't really fit for nodding along to a coworker. Agreement would work if you agreed that your coworker was a natural entertainer, or acknowledgement would work if you're just indicating that you've heard about the MBTI test.
