Fitness Personalities

We already know that our Warriors have very distinct fitness personalities, such as the Spartan Warrior, the Bonus Points Warrior, the Pink Shoes Warrior, the Fashionista Warrior, the Kung Fu Warrior, and the Smiley Warrior.  Anyone recognize yourself?  And we are guessing that from our observations of your workout patterns and preferences over the years, we could probably do a pretty good job of classifying your fitness personality.  But we thought it would be fun for each of you to take the personality test and see if you agree with your profile.

If you have not already taken the "16 Personalities" test, please click on the following link:
http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test.  The test takes only about 10 to 15 minutes to complete and you will need the results to identify your fitness personality.

Based upon the 16 Personality Types, Suzanne Brue has developed the 8 Colors of Fitness, where she defines each personality type's approach to exercise & fitness.  Find your fitness color below.


ESTJ, ESFJ – (Golds): The Gold Standard, Just the Facts.

Traditional and conservative in their approach to exercise, avoiding unproven, fad or “new-age” options, ESTJs and ESFJs plan for exercise based on authoritative resources and because it is the “right thing to do.” ESJs prefer structure and routine, valuing experience, safety, and proven methods. Conserving of energy, ESJs seek a balanced life, aiming not to over-do in all things, including exercise. Proud of what they do; results are what they’re after.













ENTP, ENFP – (Silvers): Quicksilver, The Master of Exercise Disguise

ENPs wrap exercise in the disguise of something else as the thought of pure exercise is unappealing. An alternative purpose keeps them engaged. ENPs enjoy activities that are convenient, requiring minimal process and planning. Fast paced, ENPs do not want to waste time/ effort in transition. ENPs are attracted to new ideas and possibilities and might cycle through activities and fitness passions.








ISTJ, ISFJ – (Blues): True Blue, Tried and True

Conscientious, committed, and concerned with safety, ISTJs and ISFJs approach exercise dutifully. ISJs are highly attuned to their bodies and correct form, focusing on one thing at a time. Steady and methodical, ISJs take comfort in routine, keeping track and measuring. ISJs enjoy using their outstanding powers of concentration. With a regard for the “tried and true”, ISJs have a common sense approach to exercise and prefer to stay with what they know.







INTP, INFP – (Saffrons): Saffron’s Seeking, Making Workouts into Play

INPs are attracted to exercise environments that are flexible and convenient, providing an opportunity for spontaneity and self-expression. Easily bored, INPs enjoy challenging activities with the right combination of fun, freedom and flow — with minimal stops and starts. Activities that connect them to their sense of play are appealing, as well as solitary activities alone or alongside comfortable others.











ESTP, ESFP – (Reds): Roaring Reds, Now!

Being in the physical world lets ESPs know they’re alive. ESPs are quick responders. They enjoy high stimulation, variety, and action preferring to “play” outside. ESPs naturally incorporate physical activity in their lives rather than scheduling exercise. ESPs find it boring to just stay in shape — it is helpful to have a goal. Living in the moment, they approach activities with “no limits” giving it all they’ve got every time.





ENTJ, ENFJ – (Purples): Royal Purples, Pursuers with a Plan

With a loosely envisioned plan in mind, ENJs approach exercise with purpose and objective. Motivated by“being at their best,” ENJs are attracted to variety and organize exercise in categories — cardio, strength training, and stretching. They experiment from time to time, but are drawn to exercise they can make part of their routine. Functional, orderly, and positive environments are important.





ISTP, ISFP – (Greens): Greener than Green, Naturally Outdoorsy

The physical world beckons. ISPs naturally and seamlessly merge with the physical world. Practical, modest, and understated, they are naturally observant of the physical details and small variations in their environment. ISPs enjoy living a physically active life in harmony with nature. With their practical approach it makes sense to get your exercise in activities of daily living. ISPs are motivated to maintain a level of fitness so they can partake in the outdoor activities they relish.






INTJ, INFJ – (Whites): A Blank Canvas, Trailblazers on Familiar Paths

Since exercise can provide solitary time for reflection, visioning, and mental drift, it is important for INJs to seek peaceful and pleasing environments. Jarred by interruptions and chaos, orderly environments provide the necessary calm for physical exercise. Familiar paths and activities are appealing, enabling exercise to become a moving meditation. Advanced planning makes it happen.
