About this time last year I first found the Myers Briggs test. I remember taking it, then convincing most of my family to do the test. I ended up getting INTP

A thread in the OOTS boards reminded me of it yesterday, so I took it again. This time, I got INTJ, but the T and the J had a 1% preference. Part of the reason I made this thread is to ask what exactly does that mean?

The other part was to see what other GITPers have gotten/get currently. If you want to take the test you can find it here (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp).

ENFP

Extraverted - 89%
Intuitive - 100%
Feeling - 38%
Perceiving - 11%

Heh. One hundred percent intuitive. Nice. That said, I wish there was a "Maybe" choice and that not every answer was capitalized.

Apparently, I share my type with Mark Twain. Excellent. :smallcool:

Ah, this thing again.

And yet again I find myself getting INTJ and rather strongly at that.. At least in the manner of NTJ. The I is more moderate. From what I hear, there is only about 2-3% of us out of the total human population. I suppose that's dandy as we are often called 'masterminds' should those links be understood correctly. Too many schemes end up in a Thirty Xanatos Pileup (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThirtyXanatosPileup) in short order.

I always veer between ENFP and INFP on these tests, depending on how social I'm feeling. :smalltongue: Got ENFP this time around.

11% extraverted
38% intuitive
50% feeling
56% perceiving

I normally have a higher P than that but the others seem about right.

Oh, you thought I meant what the whole....

No, I meant more that with such a small preference, it is basically equal. I'm pretty much equal parts F/T and J/P. I had no idea what that meant.

Edit: looking at the site there are 4 different personalities that would fit in the multiple letters: INTP, INTJ, INFP, INFJ, which would correspond to Healer, Architect, Counselor, and Mastermind individually(With a 1/100th lean towards mastermind). Am I the balance of all of these, or is it more certain traits of all of them?

The differences between what these things mean are described pretty well here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-briggs
Low ratings in any of the four traits just mean you're in the middle between the two extremes.

The problem with the myers-briggs is that it has never been shown to be at all useful in predicting how well a person will do at a particular job.

It's a neat test just to see where you fit, but it has almost no real practical application.

Personality typing is nothing more than cold reading- each "type" makes a bunch of broad statements, some of which are bound to be true for anyone, and the ones that are accurate "stick". Its complete and total unfalsifiability thoroughly relegates it to pseudo-science, and it's sad that it's taken on such an air of legitimacy that workplaces give their employees the test, and college freshmen are made to take the test in order to "understand themselves better".

EDIT- here's a fun challenge that no proponents of meyers-briggs typology have ever taken me up on (well, a modification of it based on the fact that this is a message board). Go through my post history, and guess which type I am. I've been forced to take these tests multiple times, and know what they always claim- it'll be interesting to see if they, at the very least, match up with what my "personality" (a term I hate for philosophical reasons, but that's a total aside...) actually is.

At 18, I was an INTP. When I took it again last year (22), I was an INFJ. My I has always been pretty moderate, though.

I'm pretty much borderline INTP/INFJ, though. I spoke with my Org Behavior teacher, because both descriptions fit me pretty well, and he said that situational factors can also affect the outcomes so it's possible that I fit in both just at different times. Like, my first MB test was on a computer alone (in the testing center at school), and this one was on paper in class.

Plus people just change.

But yeah...Myers-Brigg is pretty decent. I still find it amusing I moved from one of the rarest types to an even rarer type, lol.

I usually go between INTP and INTJ. I got INTJ when I took it just now, but I got INTP about six months ago, and it's changed each time I've taken it in between, I think. My J/P score is usually low either way, and my T/F score isn't very high either.

I've been forced to take these tests multiple times, and know what they always claim- it'll be interesting to see if they, at the very least, match up with what my "personality" (a term I hate for philosophical reasons, but that's a total aside...) actually is.

Now, I wouldn't call myself a proponent as much as someone who more finds entertainment in seeing how these work and in doing so self-analyzing then taking them as "the law" in a manner of speaking. But as to your points:

Take a look at exact opposites, for example INTJ and ESFP. If you look at analysis of the types(Here (http://keirsey.com/handler.aspx?s=keirsey&f=fourtemps&tab=5&c=mastermind) and here (http://keirsey.com/handler.aspx?s=keirsey&f=fourtemps&tab=4&c=performer), or here (http://typelogic.com/intj.html) and here (http://typelogic.com/esfp.html)), you can see, as the letters would claim, they are opposites. INTJ is the reserved, logical type, the ESFP is outgoing but unorganized(At a very bare bones description of each, I didn't do the topic justice). I couldn't find any personality traits that were similar between either pair of articles[Granted, I also only had about 5-10 minutes to], and, being shown as a INTJ on the test, could find little(I'm about equal parts TJ and FP) I could compare to me in the ESFP, anything found being about the FP. For the other ones, you are supposed to see a very small amount of yourself in every single one. The only people who wouldn't would have 100% preferences in all four categories, or at least close to it.

I'm not saying these tests are perfect. I am saying, however, that they are an interesting way to see a person's personality, or at the very least their perception of it. It takes characteristics of a person and sees how they weave together, and how a person is different based on their different character traits. Above all else, it's more or less for fun. Let other people have it. :smallbiggrin:

As to your challenge... How is going through posts on a public forum supposed to tell us anything about your personality? I may give of a certain persona here, but that may very well not be what it is in real life. To kind of illustrate my point: Let's say you find a picture of me messing with someone, like putting up bunny fingers behind their head. Now let's say that you find many pictures of me doing that. You may assume that I mess with people for fun in similar ways all of the time, but I may very well do that only for pictures. In the same way, you may compose yourself one way here(Which in part would be your personality), but that wouldn't be everything. Thus, even with years of posts, I wouldn't be able to extract your personality. If I knew you for a few years in person, however, I might have a better chance(Though a person's thoughts are their own, and that just opens up another can of worms...) of analyzing you as a person.

Me too, though I'm borderline INFJ. I also usually get 100% introverted, because that's because all the questions involve things like "Book vs. party" or "small group vs. big group". I like spending time with my friends, but just not with 100 of them at once.

I tend to oscillate between INTJ and INFJ in Myers-Briggs. I seem to be just on the border between T and F, which I guess lets me know that I'm logical and reasonable except when I'm not, which is less than helpful.

This time's results:

INTJ

Introverted - 78%
Intuitive - 62%
Thinking - 1%
Judging - 56%

I suspect INTJ is either much less rare than people think or the net attracts them like flies, judging by the number that usually come up in these type of threads.

INTJ fits the gamer profile (generally, not for everyone). The paper and dice or minatures style of gamer tends to be very detail-oriented and planning out all sorts of things (admit it, you've stat-ed one of your npc shop keepers and knew it would never matter, or done research to see that some minor accessory was painted accurately). These gamers are also going to test as introverts. The hobbies are inherently social, relying on the participation of others, but still belong to a relatively niche group that keeps to itself a bit. I'd bet you would see alot of common results among other hobbyists or professions.

Absent minded professor. They always tell me I don't feel things very well which worries me. I mean it's not like these tests are 100% accurate, but they make me feel sad. Honestly, becoming unfeeling is one of my biggest worries about my adult life. Reading The Stranger is hard. :smallfrown:

Many parts of this description I found online describe me pretty well though:
As an INTP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things rationally and logically. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.

INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. They see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. They live primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations. They seek clarity in everything, and are therefore driven to build knowledge. They are the "absent-minded professors", who highly value intelligence and the ability to apply logic to theories to find solutions. They typically are so strongly driven to turn problems into logical explanations, that they live much of their lives within their own heads, and may not place as much importance or value on the external world. Their natural drive to turn theories into concrete understanding may turn into a feeling of personal responsibility to solve theoretical problems, and help society move towards a higher understanding.

Their minds are constantly working to generate new theories, or to prove or disprove existing theories. They approach problems and theories with enthusiasm and skepticism, ignoring existing rules and opinions and defining their own approach to the resolution.They seek patterns and logical explanations for anything that interests them. They're usually extremely bright, and able to be objectively critical in their analysis. They love new ideas, and become very excited over abstractions and theories. They love to discuss these concepts with others. They may seem "dreamy" and distant to others, because they spend a lot of time inside their minds musing over theories. They hate to work on routine things - they would much prefer to build complex theoretical solutions, and leave the implementation of the system to others. They are intensely interested in theory, and will put forth tremendous amounts of time and energy into finding a solution to a problem with has piqued their interest.

INTPs do not like to lead or control people. They're very tolerant and flexible in most situations, unless one of their firmly held beliefs has been violated or challenged, in which case they may take a very rigid stance. The INTP is likely to be very shy when it comes to meeting new people. On the other hand, the INTP is very self-confident and gregarious around people they know well, or when discussing theories which they fully understand.

If the INTP is not able to find a place for themself which supports the use of their strongest abilities, they may become generally negative and cynical.

For the INTP, it is extremely important that ideas and facts are expressed correctly and succinctly. They are likely to express themselves in what they believe to be absolute truths. Sometimes, their well thought-out understanding of an idea is not easily understandable by others, but the INTP is not naturally likely to tailor the truth so as to explain it in an understandable way to others. The INTP may be prone to abandoning a project once they have figured it out, moving on to the next thing.

The INTP is usually very independent, unconventional, and original. They are not likely to place much value on traditional goals such as popularity and security. They usually have complex characters, and may tend to be restless and temperamental. They are strongly ingenious, and have unconventional thought patterns which allows them to analyze ideas in new ways.

That is longer than I expected. But from this (http://www.personalitypage.com/INTP.html) description, those are all the things that apply to me. That one part is bolded because I was surprised it was there. It applies to me very strongly.

Gee, a person with social anxiety disorder tends to be introverted? I wouldn't have guessed! :smalltongue:
...though I'd have hoped answering all these "do you care for others?" and "do you feel sympathy/empathy for others" questions to the positive would have helped with that at least a little bit. :smallfrown:

Winterwind
2010-10-24, 01:34 PM
A perceiving personality has nothing to do with perceptiveness. Whether one receives a P for Perceiving or a J for Judging merely indicates whether one is more likely to put emphasis on the "perceiving functions", that is, Sensing/Intuition (S/N), or on the "judging functions", that is, Thinking/Feeling (T/F). Basically, all it says is whether the second or the third letter is more important.

You're on. Give me roleplayed or authorial posts (in short, posts other than just a person talking normally) and I'll pick out my fellow INTPs. Hint: They're the ones that when the other posters say, "You're crazy", they're not using it as a synonym for 'wild party animal', they mean 'I pray that your unusually whimsical and scattershot imagination hasn't yet turned to the topic of mass murder'.

I, myself, am ENSFP. Yes, yes, I know there's 5 letters there instead of 4. I completely split N/S when the test was not self-administered. Apparently, combined with my strong P, that means that I'm very interested in perceiving the world in a balanced manner. Huzzah!

INTJ fits the gamer profile (generally, not for everyone). The paper and dice or minatures style of gamer tends to be very detail-oriented and planning out all sorts of things (admit it, you've stat-ed one of your npc shop keepers and knew it would never matter, or done research to see that some minor accessory was painted accurately). These gamers are also going to test as introverts. The hobbies are inherently social, relying on the participation of others, but still belong to a relatively niche group that keeps to itself a bit. I'd bet you would see alot of common results among other hobbyists or professions.

I hear ya. My entire gamer group are introverted except for one other member. (Not including myself). Sometimes I get frustrated when they don't want to go out and paint the town red. But then all the extroverts I know don't want to sit at home and geek out with board games..

Sooooo.....

Not surprised by the quiet folk around here.

The major problem with this test is that it measures things as dichotomies when they really aren't. None of them but introverted/extroverted are opposites, but it still makes them into a dichotomy.

It would be like if you had a scale that said "Intelligent" and "Athletic"; there may be a slight correlation, but not so much you would drop somebodies IQ because they can run a 5:30 mile or call them out of shape because they can find the derivative of X^2.

I'd say the big five personality test is a lot better, but even then, there are faults.

Huh. Interesting.The description labels it as "Inspector". Some people listed under that type include Queen Elizabeth II, Harry Truman, and J.D. Rockefeller.

Heh. I'm an Inspector.

That's definitely not what extroverted means. Also, I like the myers-briggs because it gives full profiles of personalities that are surprisingly accurate. I took that other test before and it told me very little about myself.

I'm trying to get a reaction of you "post and leave" introverts, determine the reasons for the reaction, find possible future reactions, act on my guesses, get it wrong, and leave everyone frustrated, confused, angry, or even confused.

That's extroverted, right?

That you are very inquisitive and probably know/researched the profiles of families or friends.

You also enjoy correcting errors (or hate seeing them) and probably either proofread your posts and/or think cafefully before speaking.

I had to do one of these tests (and a few others) for a psych project this semester...I got INFJ.

I - 44%
N - 38%
F - 50%
J - 11%

The description of the personality was interesting, because it seemed to match what I felt my own personality is.

Very judging, that's true. I try to be less judging but that's not really working out :smallsmile:

I would imagine that site is geared towards people of the US of A, which should naturally have been taught about their leaders in the process of growing up.

What it fails to mention is that falling in the same category as one of the aforementioned personalities doesn't mean anything. I share my combination with Einstein, but I won't be making any advancements in the field of science anytime soon or at all.

That one is the thoughtful politician with strong values and sense of duty personality. Suck in the fact to make decisions but can't read emotions unless someone tells them or is obvious.

That;s my guess.

Right. I'm pretty sure I've had entirely different results other times. Except on the introvert, that one always sticks. I've been Judging before, and I'm pretty sure I've also been whatever the opposite of Intuitive is.
