ENTP, here. I'm just wondering about the rest of you.

 

A link to one of many tests: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp

 

I got the same answer from this test as I did from its lengthier sibling in high school. Hopefully, it's as accurate for everybody.

Says I'm an ENFP. Means I'm an extrovert who's intuitive who's all about the feelings and perception. Says I might want to be a journalist, musician or a writer or a social worker. I've done all those things in some capacity. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I've got no use for math or science. Entirely overrated.

Cool test.

INTJ. 

Tony, you say yours has been the same since high school? For some of us, that's like twenty years, and that's about how long I've gotten the same answer whenever I've taken one of these. Did Jung think we are hardwired into our types? It certainly appears so.

I'm an INTP, and God, am I sick of my INTJ husband going on about these things. There are some funny YouTube videos for each type, though.

If you think it ends with the four letters, you are in for a long, dull journey, full of shadow types and functions.

On the other hand, my childhood wish of being a mad scientist is now completely justified.

drea: I'm not sure what Jung believed about being hardwired or not hardwired. I do know that there's a shift in personality according to what's going on with the person, etc. but I think that has something to do with what M.E.Prince was talking about--shadow types and functions, etc.

I'm not a professional. I forgot all about these personality types until the other day, when a friend of mine asked me to take the test. I retook it, got the same answer. It offered me some insight I found valuable, whether or not it's faulty. I figured there might be some merit to it.


cosmo: If you never finish anything and don't know how to dress properly, then you're probably in my group. Welcome to the club.


It really surprised me how many INFJs showed up, but it probably shouldn't. I read the INFJ is best at communicating via writing. It makes sense that they'd be the Lords of the Internet.


J. Y.: Haha. I fundamentally disagree with binary personality trait categories, too. 'S', specifically, probably because I'm not too caught up in sensation. I have a certain admiration for people who are more sensory, though. They seem to be more grounded in 'reality'. Did you take the test? I'm very interested in your results.


M.E.Prince: You should bring your mad science over to my top secret lair on top of Mt. Doom. It's a gruelling, treacherous five mile snow-hike through attack bears. Please watch the lazers. Type '6438' into the keypad, when you get to the front door. We'll have tea and discuss, but never apply any of our plans on world domination.

My MBTI that took eight years ago (with a job-preference inventory) indicated I'm INTP. Strongly stacked on the introversion, intuition, and thinking but with only a slight leaning toward the perceiving over the judging. 

Yes - INTPs stand behind the ESFJs that actually "rule" the world...we're the men/women behind the Man/Woman...

Thanks for the link to the test - my GF wants to take a free MBTI (mine was administered by pros at a state university who charged me $25). 

Everyone's always been fascinated by my MBTI long-form and they agree with its validity (in my case) and usefulness, but no one wants to pay $25 to take their own...

Hmmmm....

Just took the 72-question test at the link. It scored me as INTJ this time...same strong leanings on the introversion, intuition, and thinking but now apparently I'm more judgemental than I was eight years ago...

From the test: 

INTJ
Introvert(89%)  iNtuitive(100%)   Thinking(88%)  Judging(33%)
You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (89%)
You have strong preference of Intuition over Sensing (100%)
You have strong preference of Thinking over Feeling (88%)
You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (33%)

^ Yep (chortle). Also, since Carl Jung was catagorized as INTP, I've often suspected that the MBTI tests were crafted by fellow INTP/Js and therefore some "test bias" or other type of bias throws up a lot of INTP/Js...

Also, I think INTP/Js would be the sort most likely to get excited by taking the MBTI. They're the types who get excited by systems and theories....

ENFJ
Extravert(78%)  iNtuitive(75%)  iNtuitive  Feeling(75%)  Judging(1%)
You have strong preference of Extraversion over Introversion (78%)
You have distinctive preference of Intuition over Sensing (75%)
You have distinctive preference of Feeling over Thinking (75%)
You have marginal or no preference of Judging over Perceiving (1%)

 

I'm almost certain I got a different result the last time I took this, but I do think I have had some major shifts in my life/perception in the last couple years so that could be why. I do think it's odd that a 1% preference still gets a J over a P, rather than say, an N for Neutral.

^ Oh, the one thing I tell people about Jung's personality types is that this four-letter designation is just a "compass reading" of the way your mind is most comfortable working - everyone has introversion and extroversion and sensation and intuition and thinks and feels and judges and perceives...but this MBTI just shows your typical "bearings" as you navigate decisions. 

I find it useful for the "blind spots" that show in the analysis of each type. I already know my preferences - I guess I want to know what I may be missing...

(GF took this MBTI yesterday and we discovered that she is an ISFJ to my INTP - I told her she's my complement)
