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?

Like Jimmy said, people will answer what they want themselves to be whether they are using a self evaluation or being evaluated by a psychologist. I don't like personality tests because they place people in categories and where there is separation, there is inevitably inequality.

IPIP NEO doesn't place people into categories though, and people will be honest. There are people that will be honest, there are people that won't. It's the best we've got right now to measure personality traits. The ideal personality test DOESN'T tell you who you are, it helps you reword it. If a personality test tells you something about yourself you don't already know, something is wrong. One of the reasons personality psychologists gravitated away from the MBTI and the like, is because of what you said. You can't put people into neat little categories. IPIP NEO reflects this

INTJ.

 

Fairly accurate, considering the limited size of the questionnaire.

It's funny, INTJ's are quite rare in society as a whole but it seems the internet attracts us :P

INTP usually. Maybe I'll re-take it later to see if I've changed over the years.

 

Edit: Yup, INTP. Less extreme than it used to be though, I think.

I didn't take it again since I've taken this quiz probably 5 times in the past few months, but I'm always ENTJ.

 

So many NTJs here.

I'm INTJ as well, but this questions were inaccurate by only offering "yes" or "no." For example, I'm highly introverted, but I actually prefer large crowds over small groups of people because it takes the attention off of me.

ISFJ here. Part of the description matches me, but I'm not too sure. I don't trust this test too much.

You know, I've been around these forums for a long time and I can honestly say I've never seen this test before so I don't know how annual it is.. but I have the same opinion as Range_this11 about these kind of tests.

I'm always ISTP.

 

 

As an ISTP, 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 via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion.

 

ISTPs have a compelling drive to understand the way things work. They're good at logical analysis, and like to use it on practical concerns. They typically have strong powers of reasoning, although they're not interested in theories or concepts unless they can see a practical application. They like to take things apart and see the way they work.

 

ISTPs have an adventuresome spirit. They are attracted to motorcycles, airplanes, sky diving, surfing, etc. They thrive on action, and are usually fearless. ISTPs are fiercely independent, needing to have the space to make their own decisions about their next step. They do not believe in or follow rules and regulations, as this would prohibit their ability to "do their own thing". Their sense of adventure and desire for constant action makes ISTPs prone to becoming bored rather quickly.

 

ISTPs are loyal to their causes and beliefs, and are firm believers that people should be treated with equity and fairness. Although they do not respect the rules of the "System", they follow their own rules and guidelines for behavior faithfully. They will not take part in something which violates their personal laws. ISTPs are extremely loyal and faithful to their "brothers".

 

ISTPs like and need to spend time alone, because this is when they can sort things out in their minds most clearly. They absorb large quantities of impersonal facts from the external world, and sort through those facts, making judgments, when they are alone.

 

ISTPs are action-oriented people. They like to be up and about, doing things. They are not people to sit behind a desk all day and do long-range planning. Adaptable and spontaneous, they respond to what is immediately before them. They usually have strong technical skills, and can be effective technical leaders. They focus on details and practical things. They have an excellent sense of expediency and grasp of the details which enables them to make quick, effective decisions.

 

ISTPs avoid making judgments based on personal values - they feel that judgments and decisions should be made impartially, based on the fact. They are not naturally tuned in to how they are affecting others. They do not pay attention to their own feelings, and even distrust them and try to ignore them, because they have difficulty distinguishing between emotional reactions and value judgments. This may be a problem area for many ISTPs.

 

An ISTP who is over-stressed may exhibit rash emotional outbursts of anger, or on the other extreme may be overwhelmed by emotions and feelings which they feel compelled to share with people (often inappropriately). An ISTP who is down on themself will foray into the world of value judgments - a place which is not natural for the ISTP - and judge themself by their inability to perform some task. They will then approach the task in a grim emotional state, expecting the worst.

 

ISTPs are excellent in a crisis situations. They're usually good athletes, and have very good hand-eye coordination. They are good at following through with a project, and tying up loose ends. They usually don't have much trouble with school, because they are introverts who can think logically. They are usually patient individuals, although they may be prone to occasional emotional outbursts due to their inattention to their own feelings.

 

ISTPs have a lot of natural ability which makes them good at many different kinds of things. However, they are happiest when they are centered in action-oriented tasks which require detailed logical analysis and technical skill. They take pride in their ability to take the next correct step.

 

ISTPs are optimistic, full of good cheer, loyal to their equals, uncomplicated in their desires, generous, trusting and receptive people who want no part in confining commitments.

 

I'm the only one here with ENFP (The Inspirer) :twss:

A lot of you are introverted. Forever alone kind of comes to mind...

 

Anyways, I'm ESTJ

A lot of you are introverted. Forever alone kind of comes to mind...

Not really...What comes to mind is people who don't need be around others all the damn time.

ISTJ, I just did this for a public speaking class. This also ties in with social-psychology quite a bit. So who ever said who the hell cares it is actually used in education. I just wrote a 500 word paper about how I think these preferences will help or hurt me in the workplace, ect. It was also noted roughly half of the population are introverted so the guy above me making stereotypes about them is talking about a very broad group of people. I suggest looking up the definitions of each MBTI preference before jumping to conclusions also, as the names don't exactly do them justice.

I'm INTJ as well, but this questions were inaccurate by only offering "yes" or "no." For example, I'm highly introverted, but I actually prefer large crowds over small groups of people because it takes the attention off of me.

 

 

As I originally said, the size of it will never matter. Can you be yourself around other people? Yes? No? If you can't answer that, *as you may not be able to* If someone invited you to a big shindig, would you be excited, or just say "sure" kinda so-so feeling?

 

ISFJ here. Part of the description matches me, but I'm not too sure. I don't trust this test too much.

 

isfj's don't trust these tests. Generally speaking.

One of my good friends is an ENFJ (my favorite type <333) however, he doesn't have to talk all the time. My sister is an ENFP. She be calling people. Like... mad.

She doesn't either, I think ENFPs, due to their Ni and Fe dominations, combine to make them value their quiet time. Still. She be calling people.

Yep. I love being around people, but I equally love being alone at times.

Well, [cabbage].

Used to be an ESFP, evolved over time to an ENFP. I'd rather a psychologist analyze me rather than a test, but they are fun nevertheless.

Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types.

 

Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible.

 

Sounds reasonably like me.

^ Yay! A fellow ENFP :P

To be honest, everyone says every type is the rarest. Drives me past bonkersville, crazytown, and insanelodging. Where I arrive safely at my destination of the computer desk, and my brain slowly leaking out the back of my skull; due to excessive face palming.

So, I looked at the percentages of the test after I took it. Doesn't matter what the letters were, seeing as none of them were above 10% (I lie, one category was 30%. sue me). I broked their test :mrgreen: .

I got ENTJ , last time I did this I got INTJ, but I have become better in social situations since then, so I guess it's pretty accurate. I do question the accuracy of these online tests though.

 

Apparently Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are ENTJ's too, so there's still hope for me :mrgreen:

 

Also, if you want to see how rare the result you got is, you can check here: http://www.capt.org/mbti-assessment/estimated-frequencies.htm

I saw it was all Yes/No questions, so I didn't bother doing it. I can't see how it's going to be accurate when you don't feel like on thing or the other. Otherwise, you just end up being categorised falsely.
