Your Personality (MBTI)

[ev]

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator) (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.

I found this interesting, so I thought I would share it.

Here (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp) to take the test, post your results below.

Edit: I've added a poll to the thread, if you fill out the questionnaire, please do so honestly.

Brief summary of types available here (http://www.personalitypage.com/html/portraits.html)

[thesadmafioso]

INTJ here, can't say that I'm too surprised. Though I would imagine that would be a rather common sort of result on revleft.

Oh, and here are the details on how much I fell into the specific categories.

distinctively expressed introvert
distinctively expressed intuitive personality
distinctively expressed thinking personality
distinctively expressed judging personality

[gendoikari]

INTP

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

[Broletariat]

I never like things like this because my answer to a lot of them is "sometimes" and all they want is a yes or no, or sometimes just means they don't even count the question.

Then there's crap this this.
"Your actions are frequently influenced by emotions"

Uhm, duh? Who's actions aren't?

I got the exact same results as you :D

[RedAnarchist]

We've had a few threads on this before. I am an INTP, and I've been interested in the MBTI for a few years now. Our members tend to be INTPs or INTJs - Introverts are much more common online.

Yea, that thing labels me INFJ every time, but I still feel like I'm just fitting in answers by trying to understand what the questions is REALLY asking.

I also don't understand how I'm introverted as I pretty much am the televangelist version of a Communist

[Nox]

I wonder if there's a link between being INTP/INTJ and being Libertarian/Authoritatian

Me and thesadmofioso are both authoritarian, we both scored INTJ

The RedAnarchist is an anarchist (no prizes for guessing that), and scores INTP

Obviously this wouldn't apply to every case, but it would be interesting to see if it were true in the majority of cases.

Perhaps I'm just a statistical anomaly. Besides, I've taken this test before and I usually get INTP, I'm probably just in an authoritarian mood. :laugh:

[ev]

I'm INFP (http://www.personalitypage.com/INFP.html).

80% (http://funnybusiness.typepad.com/funnybusiness/2004/08/infps_need_not_.html) of business executives in corporate America are ENTJ's, I wouldn't be surprised if people with certain personalities are predestined to fail in a society that values ones status above their character.

I would love to know if there are more infp's on the forum..

[Catmatic Leftist]

I'm an INxP. Probably an INFP.

ENFP (http://www.personalitypage.com/html/ENFP.html)

[maskerade]

INTP. Last time I did the test I was in the 80%s for introversion and intuition, with thinking and perception being more moderately expressed. I hate small talk and don't get along well with strangers, but I can mimic other peoples' social interaction quite well.

I'd say most people on internet forums are INxP or INxJ

[Apoi_Viitor]

INFP

Although I was pretty much dead even on my scores for Feeling and Thinking.

[socialistjustin]

I am an INFP. Apparently those are the people who care, but are shy which is me.

[¿Que?]

INFJ



moderately expressed introvert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed judging personality

I kinda wish my results were more dramatic. I guess I'm just a moderate type of person.

EDIT:

Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes.

Spot fucking on!!! I was skeptical, but now I'm a believer, haha, no really I'm still skeptical, but I've often expressed this view to myself and others.

[Manic Impressive]

Still ENFP extrovert score off the charts

[praxis1966]

ENFJ - Highly extroverted - Compassionate to the point of self neglect - Constantly seeking the center of attention - Always seeking to identify and connect with the human element of a problem - Would make a good teacher or counselor lol

Yeah, pretty much me all the way... Like MI, I score off the charts in extroversion as well.

[Sensible Socialist]

INFJ.



INFJs are distinguished by both their complexity of character and the unusual range and depth of their talents. Strongly humanitarian in outlook, INFJs tend to be idealists, and because of their J preference for closure and completion, they are generally "doers" as well as dreamers. This rare combination of vision and practicality often results in INFJs taking a disproportionate amount of responsibility in the various causes to which so many of them seem to be drawn.


Spot on. Suprising, considering I don't usually put much weight into tests like those.

[Il Medico]

ENTP-

Nah. I think it's just more indicative of who uses online message boards.

[AnonymousOne]

They also tend to be impatient with the bureaucracy, rigid hierarchies, and the politics prevalent in many professions. INTPs have little regard for titles and badges, which they often consider to be unjustified. INTPs usually come to distrust authority as hindering the uptake of novel ideas and the search for knowledge. INTPs accept ideas based on merit, rather than tradition or authority. They have little patience for social customs that seem illogical or that serve as obstacles for pursuing ideas and knowledge.

Wow. That is dead accurate. Also, explains why I'm an anarchist.

INTJ, by Marina Heiss

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.


INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.


INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project. Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.


In the broadest terms, what INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.


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.


INTJ, by David Kiersey

All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds (INTJs) 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 one to two 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.

[Wanted Man]

"Your actions are frequently influenced by emotions"

Uhm, duh? Who's actions aren't?

I also get this idea with these tests very often. Analysing people in this way, with these categories, may very well be valid, but how accurate is a simple online test? The descriptions usually read like a checklist, designed to guide someone in the direction where they might think: "Hey yeah, that's so totally me!"

With some research, I think one could confidently argue that we are increasingly using these checklists as a 21st-century replacement for religion, astrology and self-help alike, fueled by our desire to give sense to our lives, to interpret and structure what is probably pretty loose in reality, to pigeon-hole both ourselves and others. I don't know whether that's good or bad necessarily. But the fact that they charge a slight fee for any more detailed tests at least shows that it there is some business potential there.

For what it's worth, I got INTP, like a lot of people here do, apparently. What I wonder is whether you would also get a lot of INTPs in other specific groups.

[praxis1966]

Right, well you're never going to get a scientific sampling in the way population studies are normally done by doing this sort of thing on an internet message board... Unless your aims are expressly to identify the personality trends of people who participate in such a medium. Ideally, you'd have to do a random sampling from as broad a population as possible... But I'm sure you knew that already.

At any rate, while this particular test does have some deficiencies (the either/or structure of the answers and it's far to short to be comprehensive) I have gotten similar results to the one stated above on other tests. I've seen a couple different shrinks for a couple of different reasons and they use something similar to this test only its much more elaborate. The better ones have somewhere in the neighborhood of 300-350 questions and use a gradation of answers (1-5, 1 being strongly disagree and 5 being strongly agree) instead of the binary this one operates on... And your results are plotted on this crazy looking matrix thing. The results tend to be much more accurate and read a lot less like a horoscope, not to mention they have devices "built in" to the test to counter a test taker trying to manipulate the outcome... But this test does have a measured degree of accuracy despite its limitations. Of course, my partner was in the room when I took the test and I asked her opinion on several of the questions because I wanted an objective assessment, so maybe that's why mine seems accurate to me.


This thread seems to point to the idea that leftist are not the most gregarious lot out there.

Apart from me, that is. I'm the lonely asshole that voted ENFJ, lol <---This must prove the test is accurate because clearly, this statement is attention seeking behavior. lol

Phew. Glad I'm not the only one, teehee. I didn't know that's supposed to be the rarest personality type. Though, you would know given your line of work I suppose.:)

That would explain why nobody could get a word in edgewise at the meetup I think.:lol:

[Apoi_Viitor]

This thread seems to point to the idea that leftist are not the most gregarious lot out there.

No, I think the results are just skewed that way because its an Internet forum. I think you'd find similar results if you tested any forum (leftist or not).

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

I'm an INTP, particularly the Architect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architect_%28role_variant%29):


Architects are introspective, pragmatic, 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.

Architects are 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.

Architects tend to analyze the world in depth. 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 often quiet, 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.

I didn't take this particular test, and it sounds like a particularly poorly-formulated version, but I've taken other tests (which allow you to graduate your answers), and as far as I can remember INTP was always the result.

However, if I remember correctly, not all INTPs are Architects.

[Le Libérer]

Phew.

That would explain why nobody could get a word in edgewise at the meetup I think.:lol:

Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say three or four 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.

Yes, this sounds like me all right.


And here I thought I might be an INTP. Probably one too many trips down the water slide earlier. :lol:

Advice: Don't take a personality test after going on a water slide!

Could someone fix my vote? I mis-clicked on the ENTP instead of ENFP.
oops.

[Fulanito de Tal]

INFP

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



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.

That is me exactly.

[Mark V.]

I don't really trust these kind of tests. I've taken this particular one twice, and I have gotten INTJ and ISFJ. It really just depends on my mood that month.

[thesadmafioso]

If anyone wants to, leftists are always welcome at PersonalityCafe. The majority of posters there are not that intelligent, so it would be great to have more intellectual members there.

To say they are not that intelligent seems to be quite the understatement. I recently made an account on the site and they appear to engage in the most rudimentary discussions. The majority of what I have read has been marked by an excess of ignorance as well, only making contribution to their community all the more challenging.

[RHIZOMES]

I've done these tests a few times, and I vary between ENTP and INTP - I guess it depends on how confident I feel about the person I'm projecting my personality towards.

I identify more with the ENTP label, however, and most people who know me intimately or rather well would probably see me more like that than INTP.

[Catmatic Leftist]

Would being 15 mess up your results because of questions relating to jobs and other things that I wouldn't know about?

At 15, you should be able to determine your dominant and auxiliary cognitive functions, so you should be okay.

[A Revolutionary Tool]

ENTP oh yeah! Seems about right.


As an ENTP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things rationally and logically.
With Extraverted Intuition dominating their personality, the ENTP's primary interest in life is understanding the world that they live in. They are constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations they are presented in their lives. Using their intuition to process this information, they are usually extremely quick and accurate in their ability to size up a situation. With the exception of their ENFP cousin, the ENTP has a deeper understanding of their environment than any of the other types.
This ability to intuitively understand people and situations puts the ENTP at a distinct advantage in their lives. They generally understand things quickly and with great depth. Accordingly, they are quite flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks. They are good at most anything that interests them. As they grow and further develop their intuitive abilities and insights, they become very aware of possibilities, and this makes them quite resourceful when solving problems.
ENTPs are idea people. Their perceptive abilities cause them to see possibilities everywhere. They get excited and enthusiastic about their ideas, and are able to spread their enthusiasm to others. In this way, they get the support that they need to fulfill their visions.
ENTPs are less interested in developing plans of actions or making decisions than they are in generating possibilities and ideas. Following through on the implementation of an idea is usually a chore to the ENTP. For some ENTPs, this results in the habit of never finishing what they start. The ENTP who has not developed their Thinking process will have problems with jumping enthusiastically from idea to idea, without following through on their plans. The ENTP needs to take care to think through their ideas fully in order to take advantage of them.
The ENTP's auxiliary process of Introverted Thinking drives their decision making process. Although the ENTP is more interested in absorbing information than in making decisions, they are quite rational and logical in reaching conclusions. When they apply Thinking to their Intuitive perceptions, the outcome can be very powerful indeed. A well-developed ENTP is extremely visionary, inventive, and enterprising.
ENTPs are fluent conversationalists, mentally quick, and enjoy verbal sparring with others. They love to debate issues, and may even switch sides sometimes just for the love of the debate. When they express their underlying principles, however, they may feel awkward and speak abruptly and intensely.

[Lacrimi de Chiciură]

I scored INFJ although most of the other times I've taken Briggs-Meyer tests before I typically scored INTP, and I think there was one time where I scored ENTP. Maybe I have multiple personalities...

The three are similar because they share some similar cognitive functions.

What's odd is that when I was in high school, and until I was about 20 or 21, I used to score consistently as INFJ. At 20 or 21, though, some switched must have flipped and now I score as ENFP every time I take any Myers-Briggs test.
