NSG! Tell Us Your Myers-Briggs Type!

[Unibot]

So, the other day I was talking with some NSers and I found out, out of a good ten or so of them - I was the only extrovert in the entire crowd. I found this strange, considering the odds in a 'theoretical' real world situation of meeting a extrovert is basically 3 to 2 (60/40)

But I suppose the stereotypical internet goer is a 'introvert' (in the non-scientific definition), so the same rules should apply to NationStates - or does it?

NSG? What is your MBTI type!?

&

Is one type more desirable on NSG than another?

By the way, I'm an ENTP, and I'd say the accuracy of that statement is about 110% true

INFP. Apparently the idealistic over emotional one who's always trying to help people no matter what.

[Neesika]

No. I hate the Myers-Briggs. I was very weirded out when a bunch of fellow law students rattled off their Myers-Briggs scores off by heart...

[SaintB]

Extraverted (E) 54% Introverted (I) 46%
Intuitive (N) 59% Sensing (S) 41%
Feeling (F) 70% Thinking (T) 30%
Perceiving (P) 73% Judging (J) 27%

ENFP

[Tubbsalot]

ISTJ. I've gotten that my entire life. You'd think it would have changed? You know, at some point? I feel so static.

[Jingoist Hippostan]

Okay, I'm gonna take the one you linked...

Introverted (I) 75% Extraverted (E) 25%
Intuitive (N) 64% Sensing (S) 36%
Thinking (T) 60% Feeling (F) 40%
Perceiving (P) 59% Judging (J) 41%

Apparently.

Also, I'm not sure the Myers-Briggs is really a decent measure. From what I understand, it involves basically answering a bunch of questions about yourself. The problem is, you're likely to pick the answer you'd like to say is true, rather than the one that actual is true. All Myers-Briggs do is present you with what you would be like if you were exactly the person you wanted to be.

Well good for those law students - they could remember 4 letters, all by themselves !!

No, but seriously the MBTI isn't as weird as it is in those situations - when people put spin on its meaning, and go deeper than they should with a simple personality test.

What you perceive yourself as is the most accurate. Coming from anyone else can be too objective.

ENFP. I used to be ENTX(halfway between ENTP and ENTJ). Guess I'm becoming an old softy.

[Tmutarakhan]

INTJ, consistently

INTJ: The outside contractor
INTJs are solid, competent personalities who may seem aloof and even arrogant, but who are typically highly skilled in any field which interests them. INTJs are confident in their skills and knowledge, self-assured, and imaginitive; their exceptional problem-solving skills make them ideal architects, auto mechanics, and tools of the evil empire. While it requires the driving will to conquer of an ENTJ to imagine the Death Star and the evil genius of an ENTP to invent its devastating weapons systems, the skill and technical prowess of the INTJ is what makes the whole thing work.

The INTJ sees life as a problem to be solved. For that reason, the INTJ is the person a company brings in from the outside to streamline production processes and identify redundant assets for termination. The INTJ's combination of analyticial problem-solving skills and complete and utter disregard for the morality or consequences of his actions also make him ideal for the job of hatchet man, CIA operative, and helpdesk operator.

RECREATION: INTJs are often baffled by the strange and incomprehensible recreational rituals of other people, such as going to parties, watching television, and having sex. Instead, they prefer to spend their leisure time installing twin missile launchers in their cars to deter tailgaters and playing chess with megalomaniac CEOs of the Tyrell corporation.

COMPATIBILITY: Silly person, INTJs don't have relationships! They may, however build their own friends.

From the REAL Myers-Briggs types

[Getbrett]

INTJ, though I put no meaning on Myers-Briggs as it's pseudoscience at its most base.

[Sarzonia]

The last time I took one of these, I was an ISTJ who was borderline ESTJ.

I feel the same 'touchy-feely' thing coming my way, and it all started when I cried at Charlie dieing in Lost.... CURSE YOU CHARLIE, AND PENNY'S FUCKING BOAT!

[North Wiedna]

Which one is, "I won't pay $5 to take a stupid quiz. Get out of my face or give me the thing for free."?

[Jordaxia]

distinct memory of you talking incessantly about being a 'mastermind' archetype twice on MSN and being quite proud of it, so go ahead and be all dismissive now that more than one person is going to read what you said.

Of course I'd be proud of that label!


...Doesn't stop Myers-Briggs from being pseudoscience.

Cheap people are sometimes associated with the ISFJ. But I think that would be branching off into pseudoscience - and I wouldn't want to enable our resident 'mastermind' now, would I? .

So how about you take the free quiz?

You are such an MSN whore!

[Luna Amore]

I get either INTP or INTJ

And neither spells something fun so I usually forget it.

I'm a terrible internet addict as it is...having that kind of access to you would cause me to sell my children to gypsies in order to fun a steady diet of ramen noodles and high speed internet.

[Tmutarakhan]

The last time I took one of these, I was an ISTJ who was borderline ESTJ.

ISTJ: The Thought Police
ISTJs are characterized by loyalty, duty, and civic responsibility. As an ISTJ, you have a natural understanding of the value of civil harmony and order, and a deep-seated dislike of non-conformity, anarchy, and chaos.

For an ISTJ, work is very important to a sense of self-satisfaction. Happiness comes most easily for you when you have a job that allows you to express your ethic. Whether it's blasting traitorous rebel scum as a proud Imperial Stormtrooper or monitoring the population's cerebral implants searching for evidence of unauthorized thought patterns as one of the Thought Police, you're most satisfied when you are crushing the population beneath the iron boot heel of oppression on behalf of your masters.

RECREATION; ISTJs approach leisure with the same dedication they bring to spreading tyrrany and oppression. Common ISTJ pasttimes include cleaning their rifles, improving their marksmanship, betting on political dissidents in the Gladiator Arena, and macrame.

COMPATIBILITY: ISTJs are capable of stong emotional connections, bonding closely with the other ISTJs in their unit, platoon, or sector.

Famous ISTJs include TK-421, Torquemada, and Yuri Andropov.

ESTJ: The Bureaucrat
Like ESFJs, ESTJs value continuity and order. They have outstanding organizational skills, and are meticulousand detail-oriented. Unlike ESFJs, ESTJs are followers and joiners; they are happiest when they belong to organizations, the larger and more mind-numbing the better. ESFJs often have an abnormal obsession with being normal at all costs.

ESTJs thrive in occupations which best utilize their organizational skills, such as driver's license bureau worker, junior bank teller, postal employee, COBOL programmer, or any other profession which involves long periods of mind-crushing tedium, preferably involving counting things. Quiet and courageous, they can perform difficult tasks other personality types are not well-suited for, such as denying health insurance benefits to crippled children with leukemia. They also make excellent extras in Hollywood movies.

RECREATION: ESTJs enjoy the company of others, and are often fixtures at office parties, where they cut loose by working the photocopier that the naked ESFP is sitting on. They also enjoy lining up sharp pencils on an otherwise clear desk.

COMPATIBILITY: ESTJs make good companions for ESFJs; the ESFJ lays down how it's going to be, and the ESTJ happily bounds along like a puppy dog. A big, orderly, tidy puppy dog that loves to count things.

Famous ESTJs include Count von Count and "Orgazmo's" Joe Young.

Aye. I meant to go to bed 4 hours ago. The internet is like crack, but I don't have to pay for it. And it's on my computer instead of inside me. And I'm sure it's different other ways too.

[Tmutarakhan]

I get either INTP or INTJ

And neither spells something fun so I usually forget it.

INTJ is like me (and Getbrett); INTP is:

INTP: The Egghead
The typical INTP is a logical, abstract thinker whose intellect is ideally suited to understanding pure mathematics, linguistics, formal logic theory, and other pursuits unsuited to making a real living. The INTP can often understand even the most subtle nuances of lattice quantum chromodynamics, but cannot perform more concrete tasks such as dressing himself, operating a motor vehicle, or opening a door. An INTP may be able to tell you how to construct a nuclear reactor from a coconut and two pieces of string, but may be completely incapable of fixing a hole in a boat.

The INTP is really only suited to two careers: college professor and game show contestant. Of these career choices, only one offers the financial rewards which allows him to suport himself; for that reason, INTPs often take the other path, and become tenured academics.

RECREATION: Surprisingly, INTPs are often the hit of the party--not for their sometimes annoying habit of turning every discussion into a debate about semantics nor for their fascinating stories about Pierre de Fermat's habit of writing things in the margins of his books, but for the fact that they often show up with their pants on backwards and that if you put a Post-It note reading "Kick Me" on an INTP's back, he won't notice it no matter how many people kick him. That kind of entertainment never gets old.

COMPATIBILITY: INTPs make ideal companions to INTJs, as neither of them notices they're in a relationship.

Famous INTPs include Pierre de Fermat and almost everyone who knows what Pierre de Fermat wrote in the margins of his book.
