Destined for Yoga?

I just finished reading a "fitness personality" quiz in Natural Health magazine.  The questions are framed to identify three of the four Myers Briggs factors (introvert/extrovert, sensing/intuition, judging/perceiving).  I know my MB profile, so jumped ahead to the answers section.  Out of nine fitness types, my ideal workout was:  "yoga, pilates, biking, and cardio machines in a well organized and serene gym."  None of the other 9 types mention pilates, and only three mention yoga.  I am kind of blown away, as all I basically do is yoga and pilates!  

It's interesting to think about personality type (whatever that is...) drawing me to this practice, because I've never really thought about it in that way.  In fact, I often think my personality counters what one might thinks of as a "yogi" -- for example, I'm very fidgety and bring lots of energy, rather than calmness and centeredness, to situations.  I guess in some ways, it's a reminder to be true to who we are, because who we are is perfect.
