MBTI Personality Test

[Saru Inc]

Guess what time it is! It's our annual MBTI test TIME! Personality types change frequently for some, so I would like to see how people have changed. Post your current type, compared to any past types you've been.

 

 

Since personality tests online can be really iffy, and give you wack job answers, I'll just post this one:

 

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

 

And to find your definition of the type, I would read this website:

 

http://www.personalitypage.com/html/portraits.html

 

 

But after that, go google your type. Cuz I find you need 3-4 different websites to give you a complete and full description.

 

 

To give you a very brief description:

 

 

E - Extrovert - You feel rejuvenated and at peace around people, you feel stressed out and restless alone.

I - Introvert - You feel calm and aware by yourself, you feel confused, cluttered, and tired out around people.

 

N - iNtuition - You understand and comprehend with your mind, what the eyes cannot. You see the big picture much easier.

S - Sensing - You trust and comprehend what your 5 senses give you. You will never miss details, and you are very appreciative of art in most cases.

 

T - Thinking - You learn things, and replicate, along with associate with hard facts, logic, and the like.

F - Feeling - You understand, appreciate, and communicate with your feelings, your beliefs, and your ideals.

 

P - Perceiving - You want to experience what is out there, not a fan of closure, you want to do as much as you can. You may be disorganized, and a big procrastinator.

J - Judging - You want to have closure with as much as you can, finish one thing completely before moving on. Never late for appointments and very organized, you are content with what you have and or know.

 

 

Then, there are the sub categories:

 

SJ - The Protectors

 

SP - The Creators

 

NT - The Intellectuals

 

NF - The Visionaries

 

Since those are such broad groups, I won't define them. Physically impossible. Ok, so not really, but that's too much detail for me.

 

 

Please note these are actually for once blanket statements, you may be an I, but not feel confused/cluttered around other people. Also, most agree the P's and J's are the hardest to pinpoint, you might see that you are never late for appointments, and always keep your schedule handy. However, there's no need to finish this project, there are more to do!

 

Also, typically when under stress all types will revert to their shadow function, I notice the NF's do this the most out of any group. The shadow function being the exact opposite. So I go from being an Idealist, to a Duty Fulfiller. See if this is true for you or not, it may help you understand why you act a certain way sometimes.

 

Since some don't like the MBTI, take the Ipip-Neo:

(I've not taken this one yet ^^)

 

Also, I would like to stress no comments of "personality tests are a waste of time," or "you do know this test isn't even scientifically current... right?"

These topics can become very personal to a few types out there, so attempting to invalidate other people, consciously or not, won't be appreciated.

 

 

However, if you do wish to discuss the Forer effect, that is of course allowed, just be mindful of where the topic heads. Please avoid blanket statements such as "these things are crap."

My type:

 

For some reason, I only ever get INFJ on tests. I think I know why though, I'm not a J at all, I'm a P. but I have a lot of J type tendacies, because I've been basically taught that P's a disgrace XD I'm never late for any appointments, nor late for papers, but that's only because of my parents. If I was let alone, hecks, nothing would ever be done on time :) However, I am an INFP.

 

The Idealist

 

 

As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.

 

INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. What is their purpose? How can they best serve humanity in their lives? They are idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest for achieving the goals they have identified for themselves

 

INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place.

 

Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante. An INFP can be quite warm with people he or she knows well.

 

INFPs do not like conflict, and go to great lengths to avoid it. If they must face it, they will always approach it from the perspective of their feelings. In conflict situations, INFPs place little importance on who is right and who is wrong. They focus on the way that the conflict makes them feel, and indeed don't really care whether or not they're right. They don't want to feel badly. This trait sometimes makes them appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. On the other hand, INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them.

 

INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. When an INFP has adopted a project or job which they're interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for them. Although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their "cause".

 

When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically completely unaware of such things. They might go for long periods without noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulously brush a speck of dust off of their project booklet.

 

INFPs do not like to deal with hard facts and logic. Their focus on their feelings and the Human Condition makes it difficult for them to deal with impersonal judgment. They don't understand or believe in the validity of impersonal judgment, which makes them naturally rather ineffective at using it. Most INFPs will avoid impersonal analysis, although some have developed this ability and are able to be quite logical. Under stress, it's not uncommon for INFPs to mis-use hard logic in the heat of anger, throwing out fact after (often inaccurate) fact in an emotional outburst.

 

INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. INFPs may have problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are likely to be higher than other members' of the group. In group situations, they may have a "control" problem. The INFP needs to work on balancing their high ideals with the requirements of every day living. Without resolving this conflict, they will never be happy with themselves, and they may become confused and paralyzed about what to do with their lives.

 

INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkard and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they're feeling on paper. INFPs also appear frequently in social service professions, such as counselling or teaching. They are at their best in situations where they're working towards the public good, and in which they don't need to use hard logic.

 

INFPs who function in their well-developed sides can accomplish great and wonderful things, which they will rarely give themselves credit for. Some of the great, humanistic catalysts in the world have been INFPs.

 

One thing I found interesting, is that Shakespeare, Homer, Myer Briggs and Mother Teresa were all INFPs. Hah... I don't know, that just seems uncanny.

 

I'm a dyed in the wool INFP, however when I become stressed I become an ISTJ essentially. Not a pretty picture.

 

 

So, share yours! How accurate is yours? Again, I highly recommend you googling it, although the link I provided is very good because it also provides relationship/career/personal growth options at the bottom of your profile page.

 

I'm looking forward to this, I think I'll be seeing a bit of INTPs, INTJs, and ES_ _ ... But I may be wrong :)

I see what you tried to do there.

[Dupin]

I got INTP, but I remember deciding I was something different a while ago. Got 50% on the T, anyways.

 

Isn't this system of classification a bit outdated?

[Alg]

Either INFJ or INFP. Tend to come out as either depending on the test.

 

Who cares if they're crap, they're fun.

[Bloodstain]

Isn't this system of classification a bit outdated?

 

Yes, but I think this is supposed to be a fun thread.

 

Personality types change frequently for some

 

Psychologists I've talked to have agreed personality is relatively constant once you pass into adulthood.

You broke the rules. I will now break your face.

That's what an INFP would say.... As well as an INFJ.

 

How are you when it comes to criticism?

[Dupin]

Lie down.

Never. I am the Rosa Parks of INTPs, and I will not move this ancient ass for some young INwhatever whippersnapper.

 

I expect we'll see very few who aren't, if not IN--, then at least I---.

Oh. An INTP. I shoulda known.

 

 

I will now, with gravity, combine the atoms and skin cells of your facial visage, with the red tinted atoms and molecues of said cinderblock.

 

Just put your face on the ground.

These tests are ridiculous and I wish people would stop taking them and if they do take them, to stop taking them seriously.

I honestly don't know if this is sarcasm or not.

 

If it is: I lol'd

 

If it isn't: SO don't take it seriously. But allow others to.

[tripsis]

I got ISTP (The Mechanic) but last time I got INFP (The Idealist). I would still consider myself INFP, even after that test. Reading the descriptions of both the INFP just suits me SO accurately. A few things from ISTP may apply to me but some things REALLY don't. Maybe the previous test I took just had better questions that produced a more accurate result :P

These tests only serve the purpose of putting people into cookie-cutter personality types. It pains me to see people believe this crap. You are who you believe yourself to be, not what a personality test tells you.

 

That's all I have to say on the matter.

What's your opinion on the IPIP NEO? Better I assume?

[Wingless]

Your Type is

INTJ

 

You are:

moderately expressed introvert

moderately expressed intuitive personality

slightly expressed thinking personality

very expressed judging personality

 

Haha, this brings back memories of studying this during Psychology. Even there I got the same result :P

you're both very right, and very wrong. If you'd like to elucidate on your thoughts, I will on mine.

[Guest Rob]

ENTJ. Either these tests aren't entirely accurate, or my personality changes every time a personality test thread is made. Probably the first one.

Or something has happened with has made you change. A problem with many of these questions, are they are too ambiguous. For example: Are you later for appointments? Some P's can say no, while ALL J's will say no. P's it usually matters on how important the event is, J's are hardwired to be on time. Motivation is important.

[Nom]

It has seriously not been that long since we last had one of these.

 

Whatever, I'm INFJ, as always.

ISTJ

Strength of the preferences %:

Introverted 100%

Sensing 12%

Thinking 62%

Judging 78%

 

You are:

* very expressed introvert

* slightly expressed sensing personality

* distinctively expressed thinking personality

* very expressed judging personality

 

[spoiler=The Duty Fulfiller]As an ISTJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things rationally and logically.

 

ISTJs are quiet and reserved individuals who are interested in security and peaceful living. They have a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends them a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in their approach, they can generally succeed at any task which they undertake.

 

ISTJs are very loyal, faithful, and dependable. They place great importance on honesty and integrity. They are "good citizens" who can be depended on to do the right thing for their families and communities. While they generally take things very seriously, they also usually have an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.

 

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".

 

The ISTJ is extremely dependable on following through with things which he or she has promised. For this reason, they sometimes get more and more work piled on them. Because the ISTJ has such a strong sense of duty, they may have a difficult time saying "no" when they are given more work than they can reasonably handle. For this reason, the ISTJ often works long hours, and may be unwittingly taken advantage of.

 

The ISTJ will work for long periods of time and put tremendous amounts of energy into doing any task which they see as important to fulfilling a goal. However, they will resist putting energy into things which don't make sense to them, or for which they can't see a practical application. They prefer to work alone, but work well in teams when the situation demands it. They like to be accountable for their actions, and enjoy being in positions of authority. The ISTJ has little use for theory or abstract thinking, unless the practical application is clear.

 

ISTJs have tremendous respect for facts. They hold a tremendous store of facts within themselves, which they have gathered through their Sensing preference. They may have difficulty understanding a theory or idea which is different from their own perspective. However, if they are shown the importance or relevance of the idea to someone who they respect or care about, the idea becomes a fact, which the ISTJ will internalize and support. Once the ISTJ supports a cause or idea, he or she will stop at no lengths to ensure that they are doing their duty of giving support where support is needed.

 

The ISTJ is not naturally in tune with their own feelings and the feelings of others. They may have difficulty picking up on emotional needs immediately, as they are presented. Being perfectionists themselves, they have a tendency to take other people's efforts for granted, like they take their own efforts for granted. They need to remember to pat people on the back once in a while.

 

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.

 

The ISTJ is extremely faithful and loyal. Traditional and family-minded, they will put forth great amounts of effort at making their homes and families running smoothly. They are responsible parents, taking their parenting roles seriously. They are usually good and generous providers to their families. They care deeply about those close to them, although they usually are not comfortable with expressing their love. The ISTJ is likely to express their affection through actions, rather than through words.

 

ISTJs have an excellent ability to take any task and define it, organize it, plan it, and implement it through to completion. They are very hard workers, who do not allow obstacles to get in the way of performing their duties. They do not usually give themselves enough credit for their achievements, seeing their accomplishments simply as the natural fulfillment of their obligations.

 

ISTJs usually have a great sense of space and function, and artistic appreciation. Their homes are likely to be tastefully furnished and immaculately maintained. They are acutely aware of their senses, and want to be in surroundings which fit their need for structure, order, and beauty.

 

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.

 

Jungian functional preference ordering:

 

Dominant: Introverted Sensing

Auxiliary: Extraverted Thinking

Tertiary: Introverted Feeling

Inferior: Extraverted Intuition

 

 

Fits me well, I guess.

[Saru Inc]

It has seriously not been that long since we last had one of these.

 

Whatever, I'm INFJ, as always.

 

 

Yea I know. I got the thumbs up from admin to remake one, rather than bump the old one.

 

 

And I don't see an INFJ in you... ima think about this.

[Jimmyw3000]

dont most people answer what they want themselves to be like anyway?

 

delusion is a fantastic thing.

 

 

the yes/no answers are also weird, not many people are always yes or always no in every situation

 

 

anyway...

 

You are:

 

* slightly expressed introvert

* slightly expressed sensing personality

* slightly expressed thinking personality

* slightly expressed judging personality

 

 

And apparently i'm an ISTJ, a daily fulfiller. the description of which sounds like a wishy washy horoscope.

[Bloodstain]

dont post people answer what they want themselves to be like anyway?

 

 

It's one of the flaws in self reports, but usually there's a little information piece before it that says to avoid answering with how you WANT to be perceived, instead of how you actually are

[Hawks]
