What type of personality do you have?

Postby Kariudo » Mon Apr 25, 2011 1:07 am

I'm a sucker for stuff like personality tests. When I have nothing else to do (not including doing some hardcore not editing :awesome: ) I'll usually find myself looking for some flash game to play or some random test to do.

I stumbled on http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes1.htm a while ago. Took it, got my result, looked through the descriptions and generally agreed. Fun was had, but I can make it more fun by dragging you guys into it.

so...

-take the test
-report your result here
-discuss how well you think it has you pinned
-don't cheat by going back and changing a few answers to change your result
-you can skip up to 2 questions
-please start your post by putting your type in bold and size=150

a little extra:
-your typology 'opposite' is the one with the first and last letters inverted (with the middle two the same). For example, my opposite would be ENTP. Not to be confused with the inverse/anima (which would be ESFP for me).
You can find out more about which types are what to you by looking up your type at http://typelogic.com/ and scrolling to the bottom
(if you do that, this page might also come in handy)

INTJ
Myself, I got INTJ. From what I recall, the descriptions and career predictions match me pretty well. There were a few points I'd disagree with, but when there's only 16 such personality types...that's not too much of a surprise.

I'd have to do it again to be more specific (I'll prolly do it again in a bit).

+edit:
ok, took it again, got INTJ again (50% 25% 88% 95%)
Famous INTJs are Lance Armstrong, Peter Jennings, Hillary Clinton, JFK and more

one particular part of the description kinda worries me
Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel
D:
also...
INTJs thus develop a strong confidence in their ability and talents, making them natural leaders.
I don't think I'm a natural leader at all...I've been in some management positions before, and I don't think I'm that good at it (though part of that may just be my self-criticizing nature).

I think this pretty much sums up how I feel about leadership (especially with my senior design team last year)
Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead.
P.S. This doesn't represent my feelings about org administration (past or present), or explain why I became a mod in the first place

ISTJ

Famous people are: Lance Armstrong, Warren Buffet, Donald Rumsfeld, Greta Garbo. Other than Armstrong and Rumsfeld, I have no idea who the others are :/

But yeah, it matches me pretty good as well, both personality and career. I do have a job in accounting, but it's not something I would want to be in permanently :|

From previous times I've taken it, I tend to shift between INTP and INFP. Or was it INTJ and INFJ? Crap.

After just taking the test, it scored as INFJ, which from the description is actually the one I remember being placed in more often than the others. I have tested as other IN** types before, though, which makes me think it has to do with the mood I'm in when I take the test.

56% Introverted
38% Intuitive
25% Feeling
44% Judging

I have, in the last couple years, thought that due to my scores tending to be in the rarer introverted types, that it's been getting used against me on job applications even though there's (AFAIK) a federal law prohibiting that. Those personality sections on online applications are almost identical to MBTI tests.

INTP

You are:

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

Introverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving
56 12 12 33

Explanation of type: "They are the master designers of all kinds of theoretical systems, including school curricula, corporate strategies, and new technologies. For Architects, the world exists primarily to be analyzed, understood, explained - and re-designed. External reality in itself is unimportant, little more than raw material to be organized into structural models. "

_________________

Ok, I agree with the introverted part. If I were any more antisocial, I'd be a hermit on a hillside singing to the sound of music. I agree that I SHOULD be in education or law, but I'm in accounting and love it. XD I don't agree with that last quote. I don't find myself wanting to organize things into structural models. I find myself more desiring to explain irrational into the rational, but I don' think I do it in that manner. >_>'

ISFJ

Last time I took a Myers-Briggs, it classed me as an INTP. My highest strength preference this time was 12%, so I'm sure the next time I take one of these, I'll get something different again. A lot of my answers contradicted each other, so I've a well-rounded (or entirely bland) personality.

I've taken these Myers-Briggs things before, even in more detail, and my result this time is pretty consistent with them...

INFJ
(22%, 75%, 62%, 1%)
IN BOLD AND SIZE 150


That's more or less what I had before, although I tended to fall more on ENFP, with the first and last indicator being very weak - well, with this result I think you can ignore the J altogther (1%, ha), and I would agree that over the last 2 or 3 years I've shifted more towards introverted, by necessity more than anything (I spend the vast majority of my time completely alone, and if I didn't develop some introverted traits I'd probably go insane, which I nearly did...) So yup, not a bad picture at all!

The personality descriptions are hilariously spot-on in some ways...

INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.

That explains why I'm such a socialist :P You'd think growing up during the collapse of the USSR would turn me off, but I guess that's very much in my personality...

They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people -- a product of the Feeling function they most readily show to the world.


Haha, yeah. Maybe that's why I was slightly on the E side before. I used to get really offended when people called me introverted, even as recently as a couple of years ago. I've certainly come to terms with it better recently, partially by learning to actually enjoy my time alone.

Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends. Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.

Extremely true, a lot of it again going back to my upbringing in Russia where I grew up in truly dangerous, on-edge circumstances and had to learn, by necessity, a healthy but covert distrust of people. The description puts a very pretty positive spin on it, but the fact is that this also gives me some of my biggest, uh, issues. I have serious difficulties with trusting people, and combined with my inevitable need to be close to friends, I tend to be overly guarded and often miss opportunities to get close to people. I'm easy-going both in public/social settings and with friends, but the process of actually making friends I find emotionally very difficult.

INFJs, like many other FJ types, find themselves caught between the desire to express their wealth of feelings and moral conclusions about the actions and attitudes of others, and the awareness of the consequences of unbridled candor. Some vent the attending emotions in private, to trusted allies. Such confidants are chosen with care, for INFJs are well aware of the treachery that can reside in the hearts of mortals.


Bam. Those of you who know me well probably know exactly what this is about >__>
Again, pointing somewhat positively here towards trust issues which I genuinely do suffer from at times.

While instinctively courting the personal and organizational demands continually made upon them by others, at intervals INFJs will suddenly withdraw into themselves, sometimes shutting out even their intimates.


Haha, again, for those of you who wonder why sometimes I disappear for weeks at a time or why I won't play games/get on skype even when I say I'd like to, there's your explanation... sigh.

I find it extremely difficult but extremely important to focus to get anything done. A lot of the 'grunt' work I do, like grading assignments or working out technical issues, doesn't come easily to me, and nothing throws me off those more than other people. So alas, I often do have to shut down and hide .__.

INFJs, like their fellow intuitives, may be so absorbed in intuitive perceiving that they become oblivious to physical reality.

Space case? Space case. Oh god do I ever space out hard.

The INFJ under stress may fall prey to various forms of immediate gratification.

Can't be bothered. But I did have to take a personality test for work (can't remember what it was called) where the restults show you as like 1-99 for 7 different major personality types. My 2 primary personality types were Hustler and Politician. Heyo.

Your Type is INTJ

From any personality test i've taken it usually fluctuates between this and INTP.
Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
78 25 38 33

>Intro as fuck
You are:
very expressed introvert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
moderately expressed judging personality

All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning

I guess this sums some of me up.
