What's your Myers-Briggs type?

[Glasgia]

Isn't there some sort of psychogical phenomenon, where, when you take tests like this and it spits out an answer, you tend to attribute the most positive attributes the tests lists to your actual personality, when, in reality, you probably don't act like that at all?

A coulda sworn something like that existed.

Yep. As Glasgia noted, it's the Forer effect. It works in a lot of other things too, like horoscopes.

Anyway, I'm an INTJ.

I actually tried to show why the effect's influence is likely to be limited on this test, but whatever

I just said it was present, not how strong it would be.

INFJ

[Farnhamia]

ISTJ
Introvert(56%) Sensing(25%) Thinking(1%) Judging(22%)
You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (56%)
You have moderate preference of Sensing over Intuition (25%)
You have marginal or no preference of Thinking over Feeling (1%)
You have slight preference of Judging over Perceiving (22%)

Meh.

[Esternial]

INFJ, apparently. It fits, somewhat.

You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (56%)
You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38%)
You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (38%)
You have slight preference of Judging over Perceiving (11%)

[Zottistan]

MBTI is a bit silly, IMO, but whatever.

INTJ
Introvert(100%) iNtuitive(88%) Thinking(88%) Judging(44%)
You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (100%)
You have strong preference of Intuition over Sensing (88%)
You have strong preference of Thinking over Feeling (88%)
You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (44%)

[Federated Terran States]

Intj
introvert 78%
intuitive 12%
thinking 12%
judging 1%

Nonsense I say; Im far more judgmental than that!

[Kylistan]

ISTJ
You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (56%)
You have slight preference of Sensing over Intuition (12%)
You have distinctive preference of Thinking over Feeling (75%)
You have strong preference of Judging over Perceiving (78%)

I'd say it's pretty accurate.

[Lost Memories]

Last time i did check i was INxP
where x stands for middle ground/balanced Thinking & Feeling

Gonna redo a test now, cause i love these kind of tests.


Wth, i've switched orderly sides? that test lookes a bit biased..

If you sensed rather then used your intuition, I would currently be suggesting a number of suitable hermit isles

Hey, as long as they have decent internet access, I'm good to go.

Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm an extreme introvert or an incredibly shy extrovert, tbh. :b But hey, as long as these isles have internet access!

Here's how you determine it fairly easily: When you go out, do you gain energy or lose it?

Lose. But I've seen more definitions of introversion/extroversion knocking about than I can count, even within the MBTI sphere.

Generally introversion and extroversion are simply methods of energy acquirement. If you are around people and you lose energy, you're an introvert. If you are around people and you gain energy, you're an extrovert. That's why introverts prefer to stay in, whereas extroverts prefer to go out. That's the very basic version of it. I recommend reading Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking.

The name sounds familiar. I might have read it before. From my understanding, though, in an MBTI context, the technical definitions are based around whether your introverted or extroverted functions were dominant or secondary.

Which is utterly meaningless, since MBTI is mostly nonsense, but still.

Quite. I tend to look at introversion and extroversion from a different perspective, something more scientific.

Well, I "lose" energy when I'm around a large group of people I'm unfamiliar with, but I do gain energy when I'm around a few good friends.

It's the same with me. I'd consider that introversion.

I tend to not look at it, but when I do I like to keep context.

I can connect this with, perhaps in a less defined sense. Around my friends and generally in places I'm comfortable, I'll be fairly extroverted. I'm more than happy to talk to new people, but as soon as I'm outnumbered in a group by people I don't know - That's when I can become shy.

Also, I'm a complete fail at talking to girls unless I'm completely pissed or I know they like me.

I used to score as INTJ, but I've been steadily drifting towards INTP for a while.
