Jungian personality typing

[Myweponsg00d]

 

Morality cancels/counters/stands in the contrary of thinking? That makes no sense. :unsure:

 

The thinking/feeling category serves to determine how you make decisions.

 

So lets consider a scenario. You are a parent, and your child steals something from the local store. A "feeling" based parent would say something like "Son, stealing is wrong" based on your personal feelings about whether the act is good or bad. A "thinking" based parent would not be able to make such an immediate conclusion. The thinker would analyze what store he stole from, what item he stole, and whether or not the specific act was appropriate or inappropriate. In order to be a 100% thinker, one would have to never set a series of guidelines to live by.

 

This is my understanding of the trait, at least. I could be wrong. Also keep in mind that this hypothetical situation is just the two extremes of a situation. So for example, if you are only slightly more T than F, you would say something like "Son, stealing is wrong, but all you stole was a pack of gum, so I'm not that upset at you". A feeler, like myself, would be more likely to frown upon the act regardless of the details.

ENFP, that felt to me like it was quite an accurate personality test!

I disagree on the bolded part. Regarding myself as who I am, I was grown with certain values and ideas to follow. There isn't one that I hadn't gone deeply into, checked whether it's valid or not, and why, and whether I should keep following it.

 

Certain values were abandoned. Others were considered- such as stealing. I wouldn't go into it, but if my kid stole something, anything at all, I'd act firmly and probably even shout at him. Not because it's so very sad the store will be missing a pack of gums, but because I want my kid to understand how unacceptable it is to me.

[mcneilp]

ESFP.

I'm quite surprised. Fairly accurate on the whole. A couple of things i'm not too sure apply to me as much as the test implies but not far off.

[obfuscator]

Lot of INTJ's it seems (myself as well).

Here is the T vs F description:

We are making decisions in the Thinking mode when we:

Research a product via consumer reports, and buy the best one to meet our needs

Do "The Right Thing", whether or not we like it

Choose not to buy a blue shirt which we like, because we have two blue shirts

Establish guidelines to follow for performing tasks

 

We are making decisions in the Feeling mode when we:

Decide to buy something because we like it

Refrain from telling someone something which we feel may upset them

Decide not to take a job because we don't like the work environment

Decide to move somewhere to be close to someone we care about

I don't think these 'personality types' are any better than cold readings. I read through all of them and they could all pretty much apply to anyone.

I disagree with what they define as feeling then. Consideration of feelings does not equal not thinking. If I don't want to take a job because I don't like the environment, that means (atleast for me) that the place I'm working in, most probably on a daily basis, shouldn't be something I dislike. So even if I based it on a feeling, it was processed through thinking and weighing the options.

 

Or not telling someone something which may upset them requires thinking. If I wasn\t thinking, I'd say whatever the hell I want.

 

Etc, etc.

Just an FYI, type personality tests/classifications have basically been disregarded and are thought of as, well, not true by personality psychologists. If you want one that is accurate and that current PP's use to great success, you want the IPIP-NEO. It measures each of the big 5 factors individually and uses a sliding scale, it's much better. It is also long though (short version = 150 questions, regular = 300). Myers Briggs is kind of fun, but it isn't really accurate.

 

IPIP-NEO if anyone wants to take it

I recommend the 300 question version

[Nadril]

*shrug* got ISTP.

 

 

After reading it's description a bit I'm not so sure it describes me well at all. I'm a poor athlete (I did skate for a bit but was never that good) and I generally do "sit behind a desk all day". The other things aside from the athletic side of thing seems pretty spot on though.

You're taking this waaaaay too literally. The point isn't to say that if you're in the feeling category then you don't think. It's simply a way of categorizing different behaviors, the names just mean that generally someone will rely on their feelings more or less than someone else.

Apparently im ESFP. Describes me 80% of the time.

I stopped being convinced as soon as it said "traditional", but okay. :P Still a fun sort of test to take.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I was reading the ESTJ results. Sound a bit like me, though much more aggressive. Im guessing I was quite close to being any of the possibilities, with the percentages as close as they are.

Then again, I say it every time there's one of these Jungian Type posts and they still keep coming. I do personality research myself. The Myers-Briggs is almost 50 years old, before people had computers to do proper statistical analyses. Instead they based it on Jung's theories of personality, going back to 1921. Contrary to popular understanding, psychology has moved on a long way from the time of Jung and Freud talking about psychosexual development and other rubbish.

dusqi are you the guy who had that website with an IPIP NEO that you could link to facebook?

Heh, indeed I am, didn't want to advertise my own website (again) though... But since you mentioned it ;) http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2490151219 (you can help our research if you participate :) We have lots more tests as well as a Big 5 one)

 

Also, I feel continually guilty for my app having an estimate of one's Jungian Type. It's only there because people are so familiar with it, I'd love to get rid of it, but customer demand and all that... It is our way of transitioning people over to the new system.

Hah, I made a topic here and on zybez a couple months ago looking for your page. Awesome, thanks!

Ah, sorry that I missed it! And thanks to you too for helping our research :)

[Nero]

Mine always flutters between INTJ & INTP. No real surprise there.

[Bloodstain]

Awesome, you have new tests. I know what I'm doing for the next little while :thumbsup:

[TTanT]

I got ENTJ which seems compeltely wrong. XD

[Nenga]

ISTP, same result i've got of every personality test I took. I suppose it's supposed to be that way. The only test I took that described me completely was the enneagram.
