What is your MBTI Personality type? [Archive]

Cliche Guevara

So what is your MBTI Personality type? My friend showed me this a few days ago, and I find it interesting that everybody fits into 16 personality types. And although at first it seems broad and general, its actually very specific in the questions you answer, and the personality type you are placed it.

Although, one flaw I see is that you answer questions based on how you perceive yourself to be as opposed to how you actually are, and in the end you end up with your "ideal" personality and not your "real" personality.

Anyways I ended up with INTP which is part of the Rational group and specifically labelled as "Architect". (lol all of the personality types have strange grandious names like that)

I find it fascinating how accurately it can describe your personality.

take the test here. http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

Granted there are flaws and its not a concrete determinant of personality. But you're being a little bitch if you think its on the same level as a "13 year old girl"

Its construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability make it a far better test than "some 13 year old girl on myspace". Futhermore it is widely used by educators, and psychiatrists everywhere.

"Of all the role variants, Architects are the most logically and verbally precise. In casual conversations, they may be tempted to point out errors the other speaker makes, with the simple goal of maintaining clarity within the exchange. In serious discussions, Architects' abilities to detect distinctions, inconsistencies, contradictions, and frame arguments gives them an enormous advantage. In debates, Architects can sometimes be devastating, or alienate themselves from the group with overly logical arguments.

Of all the role variants, Architects have the greatest ability to analyze the world in depth.[citation needed] They prefer to quietly work alone and they may shut other people out if they are focused on analysis. This, coupled with the fact that Architects are usually shy, makes it difficult for other individuals to get to know them. In social exchanges, Architects are more interested in informing others about what they have learned than they are interested in directing the actions of others.

I don't know about all the other stuff, but I can't fucking stand when someone says something incorrect in a conversation and sometimes I have to actively tell myself not to correct them. (even when its something like saying hyper speed instead of warp speed when talking about "sitting really close to the front in the star trek movie for when they go to hyperspeed")

Mastermind INTJ

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)
All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.

Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.
In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.

Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.

Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ulysses S. Grant, Frideriche Nietsche, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Stephen Hawking, John Maynard Keynes, Lise Meitner, Ayn Rand and Sir Isaac Newton are examples of Rational Masterminds.

Thats what bothers me about Objectivism. I agree, when taken at face value Ayn Rand is pretty valuable insight. But, Objectivism is more of an "ideological movement" than a well grounded academic school of philosophy. And I hate to see it taught along side other philosophies in high schools, universities as a direct alternative to mainstream/traditional philosophy when its clear there should be a distinction between Rand and the rest of Academia.

The problem is the person answering doesn't have a truly objective view of themselves.

Some do, some don't- sometimes the phrasing of the questions on better tests can help lead a person to give more unbiased responses. It also depends how introspective an individual is. I've always been interest in the Meyers-Briggs test types and have encouraged a lot of people I know to take them. The majority do tend to be aware enough of themselves to be objective. A couple guys end up rating themselves more on the "T" side when they really fall under "F," but that's probably trying to mold themselves to society's expectations for males.

Most of the time there's little to no B.S- none of the options should be presented as a negative or positive, so there's no incentive to fudge the responses.

None do, and if you think you have an objective view of yourself, you're worse than someone who KNOWS they are not objective. If you think you are objective, you're not objective.

INTJ
Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging

It's about right, but a few things don't really match with my personality. This caught my attention because it's so true:

"Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.

This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness.

Probably the strongest INTJ assets in the interpersonal area are their intuitive abilities and their willingness to "work at" a relationship. Although as Ts they do not always have the kind of natural empathy that many Fs do, the Intuitive function can often act as a good substitute by synthesizing the probable meanings behind such things as tone of voice, turn of phrase, and facial expression. This ability can then be honed and directed by consistent, repeated efforts to understand and support those they care about, and those relationships which ultimately do become established with an INTJ tend to be characterized by their robustness, stability, and good communications. "

Nothing more annoying that an illogical person ...

no it's not a step up. extroverts like you are arrogant and annoying.

It's annoying to deal with people who don't speak up loudly to make their points heard clear, or people without the moxie to take strong stands; the people who might have a good idea or two and don't make a point to make this known, and to defend the idea vigorously. But that's not as bad as being with other people like myself. More often than not, we have diametrically opposed views and clash rather nastily. There were these two cunts in a critical thinking class of mine who had their heads stuck up their self-righteous asses. Anything I said they felt like making a point of contradicting. Needless to say, I've made one of them (who is a bit emotionally unstable) cry on separate occasions through words. Not even insults, just my abrasiveness towards her.

I'm curious, how do INTP people work (in groups)? I tend to be an improviser. I don't believe in going into things with everything preplanned; I much prefer thinking on my feet, and I work better doing so. As such, I'm a cluttered fuck, deadlines tend to go over my head, and planning a bit sketchy, but the end result is usually nothing short of fantastic. I enjoy and excel at directing myself and others, I just don't have usually have a strict preconceived guidelines for things. I'm also pretty inflexible with my ideas, much to decry of people like those cunts I mentioned earlier who believe in the whole "everyone should have a say, you're not boss, we can be useful too" crock. Seriously, bitch, I know what I'm doing :mad:

Introversion doesn't necessarily imply shyness or lack of moxie. Rather, most of us are just the kind of people who find most social interactions exhausting. I love talking to and interacting with people--hell, nothing gives me a bigger buzz than delivering a lecture to a class--but I find sustained socialization very tiring, and can only keep it up for a few hours (at most). Afterward, I need a lot of time by myself to recharge; I think a lot of introverts probably feel the same way.

That seems more or less right: at least as right as a few paragraphs on the Internet can be with regard to a complex human being. It's not so much that I'm unmotivated or weak-willed--precisely the opposite, I'd say; rather, I'd say that I just prefer to work on problems that don't require me to manage people. I'm a philosopher by trade, and I'd much rather be behind the scenes working on ideas than in front of the camera working with people--that's just who I am. Like I said, though, I really enjoy teaching and giving lectures to groups: I just find socialization exhausting.

For what it's worth, many introverts see extroverts as shallow, superficial, yammering idiots who couldn't think their way out of a paper bag. That, of course, isn't accurate; these two archetypes just represent a fundamentally different way of approaching the world. Neither is superior or inferior to the other, and each has its strengths and its weaknesses; we need both to make the world go round.

It's not so much that I'm unmotivated or weak-willed--precisely the opposite, I'd say; rather, I'd say that I just prefer to work on problems that don't require me to manage people. I'm a philosopher by trade, and I'd much rather be behind the scenes working on ideas than in front of the camera working with people--that's just who I am. Like I said, though, I really enjoy teaching and giving lectures to groups: I just find socialization exhausting.

Thanks :thumbsup:. That's pretty interesting. I've never really considered putting myself in the shoes of someone with a mentality as such. Do you feel you're capable of leadership roles, or are such positions basically uncomfortable and something you'd rather avoid? Do you take orders and instructions from others well? How do you read and fit into a group dynamic, as well. Can you identify individual interests in people? Can you tell what people's needs, strengths, and weaknesses are? Can you put these qualities to the group's/your advantage?

Rereading that, I'm afraid I come off a tad condescending. I'm not being so, just curious :)

Interest in social interactions is the definition of an extrovert. Maybe you should retake the test. A real extrovert would not feel awkward in social settings.

I don't know what you are, you may be an extrovert but if that is the case then its probably not groups in general that you are uncomfortable with, it's probably just a few people in the groups that make you uncomfortable.

Here's a little bit of self-analysis that you might find useful. As I've mentioned twice now, I love teaching. I've taught a few undergraduate classes, and I also teach philosophy of mind to gifted high school students during the summers, which (of course) a rather social experience.

I've often thought about why this is the case, and here's my suspicion: I don't like interacting with people when I don't have a defined role to play. I suspect that this is the case because I'm just not naturally very good at chit-chat and small-talk--it takes a lot of cognitive effort for me to do it very well. When I have a discrete role to play, though, I don't have to expend the mental effort to figure out how to socialize well, and I can instead redirect it into doing what I enjoy: analysis and philosophy. The role (e.g. teacher), in effect, works like a tool to help me make socialization easier, and casual conversation with strangers deprives me of that tool, so it tires me out.

Now, let me speculate about extroverts a little bit: tell me how well this analysis sits with you. When you're around other people, you feel like you know what to do. You're smart, and when you're by yourself you feel like you don't have anything to which you can apply that intelligence. Around people, though, you can use your mind to coordinate, synthesize, and engage with their minds. You get a rush out of the kind of improvisation and original thinking necessary for interacting with other people.

While the MBTI is a piss-poor personality test (having shown poor validity and reliability as well as having almost no falsifiability), for the purposes of people wanting to talk about their personalities, it's fine.

However, I wouldn't take this test and assume that everything you "discover" is correct. Use it as a tool with which you can analyze your own behavior and thoughts.

If you really want to take a good personality test (or at least as good as have been developed at this point), take the MMPI or the EPQ. These are tests that have much more scientific rigor and aren't based upon Jungian theory.

Do you have any links to studies that have rated the validity of the MBTI tests? I've changed a lot in my (reasonably short) life, and my MBTI type has changed with me--every time I take it, I'm struck with the accuracy of the result, at least in general terms. Of course it doesn't define a personality with anything close to total accuracy, but it does seem to have some predictive significance.

As I said, though, I'm very open to being proven wrong via peer-reviewed studies. Got any links handy?

Born entertainers, they love the excitement of playing to an audience, and will quickly become the center of attention wherever they are. Performers aren't comfortable being alone, and seek the company of others whenever possible. Performers also like to live in the fast lane.

Definitely true. Attention seeking and histrionic, terrified of being alone, and 'living life in the fast lane' are all spot on.

Lively and uninhibited, Performers are the life of the party.

I've been told that :)

The Performers' talent for enjoying life is healthy for the most part, though it also makes them more subject to temptations than the other types. Pleasure seems to be an end in itself for them, and variety is the spice of life. Performers are open to trying almost anything that promises them a good time, not always giving enough thought to the consequences.

Hah!

None do, and if you think you have an objective view of yourself, you're worse than someone who KNOWS they are not objective. If you think you are objective, you're not objective.

I wouldn't believe the psychoanalysis of myself unless it was done by a trained professional who has no attachment to me what-so-ever.

This isn't like a diagnosis for a personality disorder.

It's just recognizing your own preferences.

Are you really going to say people don't have the ability to be objective on questions like "Do you prefer to be by yourself or be in a crowd?" on a 1-5 scale?

Sure, I can step into a leadership role if I need to--I just don't really enjoy doing it, and would prefer to get back to my work as soon as I can. I tend to lean more toward the extroverted side of introversion, though--I usually come up somewhere close to right between the two of them when I take these tests--so take what I have to say with a grain of salt.

And I'm an extrovert with a bit of an introspective streak, go figure :)

Here's a little bit of self-analysis that you might find useful. As I've mentioned twice now, I love teaching. I've taught a few undergraduate classes, and I also teach philosophy of mind to gifted high school students during the summers, which (of course) a rather social experience. It also requires most of the skills you enumerated above (particularly working with small groups of really smart kids). When I'm in front of a classroom, I don't find interacting with people exhausting--I find it exhilarating and energizing. I've often thought about why this is the case, and here's my suspicion: I don't like interacting with people when I don't have a defined role to play. I suspect that this is the case because I'm just not naturally very good at chit-chat and small-talk--it takes a lot of cognitive effort for me to do it very well. When I have a discrete role to play, though, I don't have to expend the mental effort to figure out how to socialize well, and I can instead redirect it into doing what I enjoy: analysis and philosophy. The role (e.g. teacher), in effect, works like a tool to help me make socialization easier, and casual conversation with strangers deprives me of that tool, so it tires me out.

I do enjoy the role of teacher as well. For me, it's invigorating to make a presentation, to get up on stage, etc. In fact, I wouldn't exactly mind teaching for a living about the subjects I find most interesting (linguistics, cultural studies, history), it's just that I have a very low tolerance for stupidity, disrespect, and disruptive behaviour. Not at all useful qualities for teaching (though I would imagine the older they come the better behaved?)

Now, let me speculate about extroverts a little bit: tell me how well this analysis sits with you. When you're around other people, you feel like you know what to do. You're smart, and when you're by yourself you feel like you don't have anything to which you can apply that intelligence. Around people, though, you can use your mind to coordinate, synthesize, and engage with their minds. You get a rush out of the kind of improvisation and original thinking necessary for interacting with other people.

Is that helpful? Am I totally off base in my speculation?

You're more or less on the right track. I do very well working, and interacting in and with groups, but I don't feel necessarily debilitated working alone (and if I feel I've been in an awkward/embarassing situation, I will retreat into solitude to collect myself). As to working by myself, I don't feel it to be necessarily hindering. If I'm working with other whom I don't feel are capable of producing work to the level I do, I have a bad tendency of getting authoritarian and doing all the work myself. In a sense, I am accustomed to working by myself (since more often than not, I'm doing half the work in a collaborative effort anyways).

I enjoy and participate fully when with a group of people, but I dislike the awkwardness of a one-on-one gathering, unless I'm with someone I happen to be good friends with, or with whom I have a good chemistry. Some people I "click" with when we're in groups, but between the two of us alone there can be dead silence. And that silence kills me on the inside.

Not at all useful qualities for teaching (though I would imagine the older they come the better behaved?)

Not necessarily, though the problems do change. When you're teaching younger kids, the main issue you face is in getting them to focus and stay on topic for any extended period of time--they're so energetic and exuberant that it's hard to do any sustained work. By the time they get to be college freshman, though, the problem is just the opposite: you can't get them to wake up and participate to save your life. I think that if we could somehow keep that transition from happening, we'd be a lot closer to solving some big educational problems.

I am INTP.

I don't really know what that means though. And I think these tests are vague and semi-accurate at BEST. At worst its a total piece of shit.

Anyways, cool bitches I'm an architect.

"Architects are introspective, abstract, informative, and attentive. The scientific systemization of all knowledge, or Architectonics, is highly developed in Architects, who are intensely curious and see the world as something to be understood. Their primary interest is to determine how things are structured, built, or configured. Architects are designers of theoretical systems and new technologies. Rearranging the environment to fit their design is a distant goal of Architects.

Of all the role variants, Architects are the most logically and verbally precise. In casual conversations, they may be tempted to point out errors the other speaker makes, with the simple goal of maintaining clarity within the exchange. In serious discussions, Architects' abilities to detect distinctions, inconsistencies, contradictions, and frame arguments gives them an enormous advantage. In debates, Architects can sometimes be devastating, or alienate themselves from the group with overly logical arguments.

Of all the role variants, Architects have the greatest ability to analyze the world in depth.[citation needed] They prefer to quietly work alone and they may shut other people out if they are focused on analysis. This, coupled with the fact that Architects are usually shy, makes it difficult for other individuals to get to know them. In social exchanges, Architects are more interested in informing others about what they have learned than they are interested in directing the actions of others.

Credentials or other forms of traditional authority do not impress Architects. Instead, logically coherent statements are the only things that seem to persuade them. Architects highly value intelligence, and can be impatient with people with less ability than they have. Architects often perceive themselves as being one of the few individuals capable of defining the ends a society must achieve and will often strive to find the most efficient means to accomplish their ends. This perspective can make Architects seem arrogant to others." - wiki

INFJ. This test is worthless, I already knew I was like that. It's common logic that if you prefer to stay away from most people that you are an introvert. It certainly doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

Did you not notice that introvert/extrovert is only 1/4 of the test and there are 16 different possibilities? When you say you already knew you were like that, doesn't that tell you the test works?

I've taken this test two or three times, and eahc time I get ENTJ (Fieldmarshal). I read hte main description and each of the school, work, and romance descriptions, and I'd say it describes me more than 90%. I've always thought personality tests to be mostly bullshit, but this has made me reconsider.

That test was annoying. Fore xample, they would sometimes give a rather specific question, which to me means that anything but agreeing with that means answering no.

Anyway, I got 44, 62, 12, 33 and INTP. I usually hate these tests, but they are better than nothing. If somebody asked me how I felt about myself objectively, and not how I want to feel about myself, I'd say lots of my personality could be made by mixing certain celements of INTP and INTJ mostly.

Cliche Guevara, where did you get those stats that INTP and INTJ are more likely to be in the upper echelons of intelligence? I am, INTP, and to me it seems like a bit of a circle jerk. I can imagine an aloof "genius" smirking to himself reading that thinking, "if only everone else realised my genuis".

It makes me wodner how intelligence is tested too....is it just raw processing intelligence? This test shows that there are many types of genius. People could do much better to learn and respect each other because everybody has their niche.

P.S. I took the test again and realised that about 30% of my answers could go either way. I got INTP again anyway. but this time I was even more intuitive and perceptive than before.

Some parts are clearly about patterns and others reasoning and logic. When I took mine there was a bit of vocabulary too but I believe that was just to establish a sort of grounds. There are hands on puzzles and things where you have to imagine a ton of different steps and say what you think the outcome would be (ie if you fold a piece of paper in a certain way with specific triangles and shit what it would look like after) and there are also abstract stuff where you have to decide which image fits best.

INTP - 11 12 25 33

Rational Portrait of the Architect (INTP)

Architects need not be thought of as only interested in drawing blueprints for buildings or roads or bridges. They are the master designers of all kinds of theoretical systems, including school curricula, corporate strategies, and new technologies. For Architects, the world exists primarily to be analyzed, understood, explained - and re-designed. External reality in itself is unimportant, little more than raw material to be organized into structural models. What is important for Architects is that they grasp fundamental principles and natural laws, and that their designs are elegant, that is, efficient and coherent.

Architects are rare - maybe one percent of the population - and show the greatest precision in thought and speech of all the types. They tend to see distinctions and inconsistencies instantaneously, and can detect contradictions no matter when or where they were made. It is difficult for an Architect to listen to nonsense, even in a casual conversation, without pointing out the speaker's error. And in any serious discussion or debate Architects are devastating, their skill in framing arguments giving them an enormous advantage. Architects regard all discussions as a search for understanding, and believe their function is to eliminate inconsistencies, which can make communication with them an uncomfortable experience for many.

Ruthless pragmatists about ideas, and insatiably curious, Architects are driven to find the most efficient means to their ends, and they will learn in any manner and degree they can. They will listen to amateurs if their ideas are useful, and will ignore the experts if theirs are not. Authority derived from office, credential, or celebrity does not impress them. Architects are interested only in what make sense, and thus only statements that are consistent and coherent carry any weight with them.

Architects often seem difficult to know. They are inclined to be shy except with close friends, and their reserve is difficult to penetrate. Able to concentrate better than any other type, they prefer to work quietly at their computers or drafting tables, and often alone. Architects also become obsessed with analysis, and this can seem to shut others out. Once caught up in a thought process, Architects close off and persevere until they comprehend the issue in all its complexity. Architects prize intelligence, and with their grand desire to grasp the structure of the universe, they can seem arrogant and may show impatience with others who have less ability, or who are less driven.

Albert Einstein as the iconic Rational is an Architect

Dr. David Keirsey, Robert Rosen, George Soros, Gregory Peck, James Madison, Ludwig Boltzman, Charles Darwin, Adam Smith, and Thomas Jefferson" /> are examples of the Architect Rationals

This is basically spot on......scary.

Ruthless pragmatists about ideas, and insatiably curious, Architects are driven to find the most efficient means to their ends, and they will learn in any manner and degree they can. They will listen to amateurs if their ideas are useful, and will ignore the experts if theirs are not. Authority derived from office, credential, or celebrity does not impress them. Architects are interested only in what make sense, and thus only statements that are consistent and coherent carry any weight with them.

Statement which fits the best.

I got ENFJ (and I've done these in the past and got very different results) but I flit through different roles throughout my usual day to fit many different sorts of situations, and so I think many different results would suit my personality. All just depends on how I was feeling at the time.

Normally I spend most of my time on my own and avoiding people, so to say I'm extroverted dominantly is a bit wrong in my view, even though I can very much be a people person.

Got INTJ once, I was more particular as well as more organized, then.

Someone asked about INTP workgroups. I think that INTPs argue among themselves about the possibilities (based on the given) until they consign the most likely ones. Then they slack off, lol.

ISTF - Inspector

"The Duty Fulfiller"

ISTJs tend to believe in laws and traditions, and expect the same from others. They're not comfortable with breaking laws or going against the rules. If they are able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, the ISTJ will support that effort. However, ISTJs more often tend to believe that things should be done according to procedures and plans. If an ISTJ has not developed their Intuitive side sufficiently, they may become overly obsessed with structure, and insist on doing everything "by the book".

ISTJs are likely to be uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others. However, their strong sense of duty and the ability to see what needs to be done in any situation usually allows them to overcome their natural reservations, and they are usually quite supporting and caring individuals with the people that they love. Once the ISTJ realizes the emotional needs of those who are close to them, they put forth effort to meet those needs.

Under stress, ISTJs may fall into "catastrophe mode", where they see nothing but all of the possibilities of what could go wrong. They will berate themselves for things which they should have done differently, or duties which they failed to perform. They will lose their ability to see things calmly and reasonably, and will depress themselves with their visions of doom.

In general, the ISTJ has a tremendous amount of potential. Capable, logical, reasonable, and effective individuals with a deeply driven desire to promote security and peaceful living, the ISTJ has what it takes to be highly effective at achieving their chosen goals - whatever they may be.

Spot on.

ESFJ ; Provider

Providers are observant, cooperative, informative, and expressive. They are greatly concerned with the health and welfare of those under their care and they are the nurturers of established social institutions such as businesses, churches, social clubs, and schools. Providers are the most sociable of the Guardians and they strive to provide friendly social service. They spend a lot of their energy making sure social functions are successful, traditions are upheld, and the needs of others are met.

Providers are excellent masters of ceremonies or chairpersons of social events. Highly cooperative, Providers are very capable of maintaining teamwork among their workers. They are attentive to details of the goods and services they provide. During social events, they are often able to remember their guests' names after one introduction, and they may appear to be aware of what everyone has been doing.

Providers are friendly, outgoing, and gregarious. They love to talk and they can become quite agitated when they are isolated from others. Providers are fascinated about news concerning their friends, neighbors, and local community. They will often strike up conversations with strangers and will talk about anything that comes to mind. If someone wants to know what has been going on in the community, Providers are often happy to provide the details.

Providers are often attracted to the sales and service occupations. They are usually good sales representatives as they are visibly and honestly interested in the customer’s welfare. They are also skilled in other people-to-people careers such as social workers, clergy and teachers. Their personal loyalty to their superiors often makes them valuable secretaries.

Providers may be the most sympathetic of the role variants as they are highly sensitive to the feelings of others. This sensitivity can leave them self-conscious as they care about what others think of them. Providers are affectionate and they feel a need to be loved in return. They can be easily crushed by criticism directed towards them and they strongly desire to be appreciated for who they are and for the service they provide to others.

I don't feel that unique, but the stats suggest I'm only 0.5% of the population.People move out of the way or help me out!

You can be heavy on both. I'm an INTP, but my "feeling" preference is still highly developed- just not as high as by "thinking" preference. I think the "FJ" together is an unusual combination- sort of a contradition in terms: http://www.personalitypage.com/INFJ.html

Dude u guys need to calm down, how do you guys expect a subjectively answered Internet quiz to accurately describe every facet of your lives? Of course its not entirely accurate, and OBVIOUSLY there are more than 16 different types of people.

The novelty of this quiz isn't in its empirical dissection of personality, its in reading a clever little paragraph about your personality based on questions you answered. I, and the majority of the people who take the test, think its a neat and fun read and regardless of the forer effect and subjective validation and what not, I still think the test has SOME merit as an indicator of personality.

If you take this test and you can't relate to the results in one way or another you're a fucking liar or you're dumb ass. If you answered alot of questions indicating you were introspective (where socializing causes you to expend energy), chances are you're introspective. You get grouped in these dichotomy's (I/E, S/N, T/F, P/J) based on how you answers and you get a percentage value at end. (which essentially means people of the same type are still different) See, thats how this test works. (with the hallmark of this test being its four dichotomies) Get it? It's not rocket science.

I've actually taken the MBTI a couple times and always tested as INTP - but I also believe I bent the truth a little bit based on what people usually consider me to be like. I have a problem where I sometimes try to be more like people want me to be to avoid conflict in their perceptions of reality and who I actually am.

I usually test as INTP, but my actual thinking probably comes closer to INFP. I voted INTP as that's what I usually test, but I'm more likely an INFP. :D

I find it interesting there are so many INTJ and INTP on Zoklet - they're some of the lowest in terms of population percentage. Perhaps it's just from it being an internet test... has anyone here taken the actual MBTI?
Edit:Introversion doesn't necessarily imply shyness or lack of moxie. Rather, most of us are just the kind of people who find most social interactions exhausting.I think a lot of people confuse I/E on the scale as 'shy/social'.
Introverts can socialise with the best of them, but find it draining. They need time after social functions by themselves. Extraverts are the opposite; they find extended time alone draining and may like to get social interaction after extended periods of loneness.

Introverts tend to think and reflect, then act. Extraverts tend to act, then reflect on actions.

Although the types use the terms 'introversion', 'extraversion', it's not referring to them in the more traditional shy-social scale. You can be social while introverted, or shy while extraverted. The test classifies your thinking.As I've mentioned twice now, I love teaching.Just quoting this to mention... did you know around 60% of college professors are either INTJ or INTP? :D (At least, according to my professor.)

Edit(redux): I just noticed this was bumped from three months ago last night. :x

I made an effort to answer these questions truthfully. Not surprisingly I ended up with the same personality as I did when I took this test a while ago. Some of these questions are tricky to answer. "You feel involved when watching TV soaps" doesn't apply to me since I don't even own a TV. I do however play a lot of video games and feel actively involved in them. Because of that I answered yes since I assume it's implying that I enjoy wasting time in front of the boob tube.

INTJ, it's always INTJ.

I-78%
N-56%
T-88%
J-33%

You are:

* very expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* very expressed thinking personality
* moderately expressed judging personality

I had a hard time answering 5 questions and skipped 7 because I didn't really feel strongly one way or the other. It seems they're all perceiving/judging questions.

INTJ- Strategist aka the Mastermind.

That's the first time I've gotten that. I think I usually tend to get INFJ... so I'm one letter off this time, but I think I'm somewhere in between those two.

So what... we're all reserved but diabolic geniuses now??

Bump.This was one of the better threads in Neurons & Needles.

Zoklet has changed quite a bit in the last couple years and it would give an opportunity to new users to check their MBTI personality types out.

Additionally, it would give new people some insight as to what type of community we have here.

I dunno. I've taken pretty much every MBTI test on the net at some point. Every time I see this thread pop up on a forum I'm a member of (which seems like every few months) and I hit INTP every single time. I think I slipped into INTJ on one test once upon a time. I think they are somewhat to the point for the most part. Even if you test differently every time, you should stay within your personality "grouping". I mean if you jump from INTJ to ENFP over to ESJT, and all over the fucking place, you're probably not answering the questions with any honesty. It's not that inaccurate...

When you consider the low percentages in the introverted intellectual and visionary populations throughout the world, is it really that surprising to find that quiet thinking individuals tend to assemble in odd little corners of the internet to discuss odd topics? Where else are they going to go for stimulating discussion when the extroverted touchy feeling population has a tendency to irritate or disinterest them? It doesn't really blow my mind to see a lot of INTx or INFx personality types on a forum like Zoklet...

Shakespeare, Homer and the virgin Mary (allegedly, according to psychological analysis of historical accounts at least)

Most of my free time is spent reading alone. And I feel lonesome if I am in large crowds of people, or with people I do not know well. It seems part of being INFP usually means that you have a small circle of very close friends, to whom you feel quite attached.

Do emotional stories and movies really move you? I cry reading the Harry Potter series.
