OT: What personality type are you?

[Cap Mandrake]

ENTJ....but I was troubled on many questions. I didn't know if I was supposed to answer what I was like before or after a couple of drinks.


Plus I began to feel so crappy about not having empathy I just lied on the last 5 or 6 empathy questions. Of course, the damn thing probably knew I was lying. Bloody annoying.

I took the damn thing... It just said that I am only suited to be an exotic male dancer.


Well crap.....I already am an exotic male dancer..[:@]

[Knavey]

Exotic...yes.  Male dancer...not sure I needed to know that, although I did ask the question!  [:D]

Yeah, work has been hard to find lately
 
I think I may have to lose some weight. [:D]

Me too,

Your Type is

INTJ

Independent, original, analytical, and determined. Have an exceptional ability to turn theories into solid plans of action. Highly value knowledge, competence, and structure. Driven to derive meaning from their visions. Long-range thinkers. Have very high standards for their performance, and the performance of others. Natural leaders, but will follow if they trust existing leaders.

You are:

* distinctively expressed introvert
* distinctively expressed intuitive personality
* slightly expressed thinking personality
* moderately expressed perceiving personality

I'm a "thinker" - "Introverted Thinking with Extraverted Intuition." (Actually the longer descriptions were pretty good - hit the highlights of the things that make me up and the things I struggle with.)

I'm starting to think there are quite a few in here who fall into the '1' category for the third slot. I know mine was. It sticks out because you wouldn't think there were enough questions to render such a low result. I mean there weren't even 50 questions were there? If that's true, it's obvious the test is a utter and total fake, as it should be at least be either 0% or 2%.

INTJ here

Slightly expressed introvert / 22%

Moderately expressed intuitive personality / 50%

Moderately expressed thinking personality / 25%

Damn three are a lot of us Masterminds on this forum.

Not much room for team gaming here when so many of would just "have" to be in control. [8|]

When I read through the descriptions of what the different aspects were measuring, it seemed scoring low on "thinking" isn't bad. If you score high on that factor, what it suggests is that you are someone who applies the rules pretty rigorously; scoring low suggests that you are more apt to make a decision on a case-by-case basis. That you are someone who leans more towards mercy than justice, perhaps - or that you are someone who is a bit of an unconventional thinker.

At least that way it makes me sound good. [;)]

Meyers-Briggs is an old one - lots of fun. The personality researchers I work with use the "five factor NEO" - I'll see if I can find that one online if I have some time.

Coming in late on this one.  It looks like I missed it the first time through.  My worlds are colliding.  I've worked with this theory for over 20 years now.  I got qualified to give the real MBTI 10 years ago.

Just a few bits of information from scanning the thread.  David Keirsey's theory and Jung's theory have surface compatability, but are really different theories if you dig down any depth.  Those terms like "Field Marshall" come from Kiersey.  Isabel Briggs and her mother Katherine Myers developed the MBTI in the early 1950s from Jung's theories.  The first three letters come from Jung's theory and they added Judging and Perceiving as an aid to decipher the code.  There is a fair amount more depth to the theory than the simple alphabet soup.

Another thing is that online tests have not been as rigourously tested as the real MBTI and may not be that accurate.  The real MBTI only claims an accuracy of 85%.  A lot of factors can cause the test to be wrong: language barrier (non-native speakers mostly), a conflict between your actual preference and societal pressures, being in an unusual mood or state when taking the test, etc.  It is recommended that if a type doesn't resonate, read other types that might be close.  The scores are not a measure of how strong your preference are, but are a measure of probability of how accurate the test was.  If the scores are muddy, the probability that letter is correct is low.  If the scores are strong, the probability that it is correct is high.

Another point: virtually everybody does every function at one time or another.  What is being measured is your preference for one or the other in a forced choice situation.  Sometimes we can become very good at a function that isn't our preference.  To anyone who knows type, you're probably thinking I'm a T now.  Actually I'm an F, I just play a T very well.  Most male Fs and female Ts learn camo at an early age.  It's not socially acceptable for men to be F and women to be T.

I'd also be careful of those statistics such as INTJs are 1% of the population.  That was calculated by Keiresy based on a study done on high school students in the 1950s.  He took the letter by letter breakdown, rounded them off to the nearest handy number (25%, 50%, 75%) and then calculated the percentages for each type and rounded down any fractions.  That's how he got 1% for the 4 IN__ types.  Actual studies done in the last 20 years have found that, while rare, INTJ and INFJ are the two rarest types, but come in around 3% of the population.  N combined with P tends to be more common than N with J, so INTPs and INFPs are a little more common, about 5-6%.  (I'd need to look up the exact percentages to be sure).

I'm also not surprised at the number of N_Js  on this forum.  WitP is the type of game that would likely appeal to someone of that type.  I know I was thinking of something like this back when I was playing Flattop as a teenager and the state of the art in personal computers was the original IBM PC running at 4Mhz.

For anyone who might want to check out communities of people with their type, there are a lot of type mailing lists and forums out there.  I've been helping run the oldest type forum in the world, the INFJ-L mailing list (founded in 1993) for about 10 years now.  http://www.infj.org

I have lost touch with other type communities, but I know all 4 of the IN__ types had vibrant lists (many for each type) at one time.  ENTPs and ENFPs also had very active communities.

Thanks for the explanation. It was very enlightening.

What kind of personality am I?  According to my ex, the kind she "couldn't stand one minute more of!".

Great - i've always been told i'm "weird" - now there is statistical proof... [X(] [:D]
