What's your Myers-Briggs type?

[Meryuma]

I know we've had threads like this before but it's been a while and it's interesting to see. For those unaware, Myers-Briggs typology is a form of personality analysis started by Carl Jung and expanded/codified by Isabel Myers-Briggs. It tells you whether you're introverted or extraverted (revitalized by time alone vs by time with others), intuitive or sensing (basically abstract and conceptual vs pragmatic and concrete), thinking or feeling (more focused on objective reasoning vs more focused on emotional concerns) and judging or perceiving (structured and organized vs flexible and spontaneous). It's frequently contested but very interesting & generally accurate IMO. You can find out your type here for free through a 72-question test. Personally, I'm an ENFP and the description on that page is pretty much spot on for me. That also puts me in the same position as my favorite historical figure (Oscar Wilde), so that's always a plus. What about you?

[Tannarabia]

I am an ENTJ. That's pretty accurate.

[Divair]

INTJ. Very accurate, even if Myers-Briggs isn't particularly scientific.

[Orham]

I have a tendency to bounce between INFJ and INTJ depending upon how I think about the questions in a given go. But I never get anything but those two, so the only point of variance is on the third letter.

[The Flood]

The INFJ type is believed to be very rare (less than 1 percent of the population) and it has an unusual set of traits. Even though their presence can be described as very quiet, INFJ personalities usually have many strong opinions, especially when it comes to issues they consider really important in life. If an INFJ is fighting for something, this is because they believe in the idea itself, not because of some selfish reasons.

INFJ personalities are drawn towards helping those in need – they may rush to the place of a major disaster, participate in rescue efforts, do charity work etc. INFJs see this as their duty and their purpose in life – people with this personality type firmly believe that nothing else would help the world as much as getting rid of all the tyrants. Karma and similar concepts are very attractive to INFJs.

These tendencies are also strengthened by the fact that INFJ personalities have a unique combination of idealism and decisiveness – this means that their creativity and imagination can be directed towards a specific goal. Few other personality types have this trait and this is one of the most important reasons why many INFJs are able to eventually realize their dreams and make a lasting positive impact.

INFJs are masters of written communication, with a distinctively smooth and warm language. In addition, the sensitivity of INFJs allows them to connect to others quite easily. Their easy and pleasant communication can often mislead bystanders, who might think that the INFJ is actually an extrovert.

INFJs should be careful to avoid “overheating” as their zeal and determination can sometimes get out of hand. As introverts, INFJs need to have some “alone time” every once in a while or otherwise their internal energy reserves will get depleted really quickly. If this happens, the INFJ may surprise everybody around them by withdrawing from all their activities for a while – and since other people usually see INFJs as extroverts, this can leave them both surprised and concerned.

INFJs take great care of other people’s feelings and expect others to return the favor. Unsurprisingly, people with this personality type are very sensitive and vulnerable to conflicts – even the most rational INFJs may find it quite difficult to not take criticism personally. This is the INFJ’s Achilles’ heel – if someone with an INFJ personality cannot escape the conflict, they will do their best to deal with it head on, but this will result in a lot of stress and may also potentially lead to health problems or highly irrational behavior.

From a test I took, quite accurate.

[Cosumar]

I have taken the test twice before and received INTP both times. It describes me fairly well, though not perfectly.

INTPs are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who tend to spend long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. They are curious about systems and how things work. INTPs tend to be less at ease in social situations or in the "caring professions", although they enjoy the company of those who share their interests. They have little patience for social customs that seem illogical or that obstruct the pursuit of ideas and knowledge.

Given their independent nature, INTPs may prefer working alone to leading or following in a group. During interactions with others, if INTPs are focused on gathering information, they may seem oblivious, aloof, or even rebellious—when in fact they are concentrating on listening and understanding. However, INTPs' intuition often gives them a quick wit, especially with language. They may defuse tension through comical observations and references. They can be charming, even in their quiet reserve, and are sometimes surprised by the high esteem in which their friends and colleagues hold them.[12]



That's me. Other INTPs include Charles Darwin and Thomas Jefferson. Good company.

[Andersen Tribal States]

Mine is INTJ

It is accurate... But I am towards the middle when it comes to Thinking and Judging meaning I could be:
INTJ
INFJ
INFP
INTP
But I'm totally Intuitive, 88%
and moderately Introverted 33%

[Horusland]

INTP.
Introvert(11%)
iNtuitive(88%)
Thinking(12%)
Perceiving(6)%

Bleh, more random tests.

I share a personality type with The Flood?

[Vader Voice Mode: On]

NO---------O!

I kid, I kid.

[Orangi]

ENFJ, believe it or not.

[Shamhnan Insir]

ESTJ although the percentages added up to 103%?

[Horusland]

ESTJ although the percentages added up to 103%?

You don't add the percentages. It's between 100% to the left and 100% to the right, on four separate scales.

[Sebtopiaris]

INTJ.

[Shamhnan Insir]

ESTJ although the percentages added up to 103%?

You don't add the percentages. It's between 100% to the left and 100% to the right, on four separate scales.

Ahh thanks. My brain hurts too much this morning, back to bed it is.

[Agrincourt]

INTJ or INTP.

[Creative Vikings]

test said I was ENTP, but I find myself being quite introverted at times before becoming very extroverted again. I guess I'm ambiverted then, for lack of better term.

[Arglorand]

INFJ.

[Napkiraly]

xNTJ. I flip flop between Introvert and Extrovert.

[Sungai Pusat]

Expectation: ISTJ
From the OP's test: ISTP

Introvert(67%), Sensing(12%), Thinking(50%), Perceiving(44)%

[Shnercropolis]

INTP. We had to take one of these tests for our 'ten year plan' crap. I read the description of the type and it matched my personality so well that I think someone might have been spying on me.

[The Terran Systems]

I'm usually an INFP.

[Cato Island]

ENFP.

[Alyekra]

There seems to be a disproportionate amount of INTJ here, myself included.

[Boomhaueristan]
