Myers-Briggs Test Anyone?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I got ENTP. Took it last night so I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was something like this:

Extrovert 13
iNtuitive 75
Thinking 15
Perceiving 13

Reading the explanation of my profile I concluded I didn't need this test to tell me that.
 
Just an FYI, I think many people are missing the point of what Myers-Briggs is for. Its not for telling you who you are - you already know that, its the next step (which generally requires a class or otherwise costs money) that is important. Basically once you are refined into those traits, how you should interact with other people can be better examined and worked on. These are generally administered by large corporations where there are teams of people working together to help the team figure out how best to interact with each other.
 
Yeah, I have a friend who is an ESTP and knowing how he functions really helps me to get along with him.
 
I 100%
N 75%
T 88%
P 33%

INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.

Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.

INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to most anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves.

A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves. The open-endedness (from Perceiving) conjoined with the need for competence (NT) is expressed in a sense that one's conclusion may well be met by an equally plausible alternative solution, and that, after all, one may very well have overlooked some critical bit of data. An INTP arguing a point may very well be trying to convince himself as much as his opposition. In this way INTPs are markedly different from INTJs, who are much more confident in their competence and willing to act on their convictions.

Mathematics is a system where many INTPs love to play, similarly languages, computer systems--potentially any complex system. INTPs thrive on systems. Understanding, exploring, mastering, and manipulating systems can overtake the INTP's conscious thought. This fascination for logical wholes and their inner workings is often expressed in a detachment from the environment, a concentration where time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli are held at bay. Accomplishing a task or goal with this knowledge is secondary.

INTPs and Logic -- One of the tipoffs that a person is an INTP is her obsession with logical correctness. Errors are not often due to poor logic -- apparent faux pas in reasoning are usually a result of overlooking details or of incorrect context.

Yeah, a lot of companies use the M-B...I sometimes wonder about that, because one thing about the M-B is that while it is very reliable within a particular time frame, over longer periods of time the reliability tanks. Therefore I can see its use within the psychological research area (we often use personality tests as correlates with the element we're mainly testing), but for employees who will be at a company for a long time...I just don't know. M-B is far more popular than the Big Five with companies, and that's the reverse of psych researchers. Something about that feels odd. Also, it doesn't have a measure for emotional stability, whereas the Big Five does.

It's also worth noting that these tests, especially on an individual basis, can be wrong, so I'd be awfully cagey about determining a person's future based on them.

I know that Myers-Briggs is frequently used for this purpose, but I don't like the notion that people have one "type." At best, M-B indicates your preferences in the absence of external situations. Someone might not prefer to take the lead if possible...but, when presented with a situation where no one else steps up, will take charge. Someone might be an introvert by nature, but need to develop extrovert-style behaviors because of their job or coursework. I'm not sure how you know from observing someone what their "type" is supposed to be.

I think it's good to understand your natural tendencies -- not just personality, but also communications styles, conflict styles, and mental frameworks -- but so you can train yourself to be aware of how you are perceived and so you can adapt your own behavior to be optimal for any situation. People who can only hear, act, and think ONE way are very limited.

The other thing is that I have problems with the accuracy of M-B results in general. Any test which requires someone to self-report could very well have bias. It's true that you know yourself better than anyone else...but that doesn't necessarily mean that you are fully self-aware, or that you would accurately report your true feelings to a test facilitator.

Hardly more than two percent of the total population, the Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups. In some cases, Fieldmarshals simply find themselves in charge of groups, and are mystified as to how this happened. But the reason is that Fieldmarshals have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are -- to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals. They resemble Supervisors in their tendency to establish plans for a task, enterprise, or organization, but Fieldmarshals search more for policy and goals than for regulations and procedures.

The bold part used to happen to me all the time.
 
ENFP

ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Som etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped.

ENTJ here as well and the bolded part applies to me often as well. Completely mystified when I'm working on a group project that I have absolutely no interest in and yet all the group members continue to look at me for approval when proposing ideas.

Anyway, the brutally honest evaluation makes me laugh:

Have you no soul? It's clear you have no heart and that your blood runs cold, but really, do you have even one redeeming factor?

Sure. You're a natural born leader. So was Hitler. You just don't like people, do you?

You don't play games. You take charge. And there's very little room for mistakes in your world. You're forceful, intimidating and overbearing.

Heard of the word "patience?" Trust me, it's a word and it's something you're sorely lacking. Believe it or not, you're not always right. Learn to have some patience for those who think differently from you, knobflap.

From the way people's knees knock when they see you, you should have realised by now that you're not exactly a "people-person." You're more of a "people-eater." You just ain't tuned into people's feelings and probably couldn't care less whether you were anyway. Maybe you're not from this planet but the rest of us are.

Sure, you're intelligent. So what? You have some semblance of power. Big deal.

At least people LIKE the rest of us.

"Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is marshaling or situational organizing role that reaches the highest development in the Fieldmarshal. As this kind of role is practiced some contingency organizing is necessary, so that the second suit of the Fieldmarshal's intellect is devising contingency plans. Structural and functional engineering, though practiced in some degree in the course of organizational operations, tend to be not nearly as well developed and are soon outstripped by the rapidly growing skills in organizing. But it must be said that any kind of strategic exercise tends to bring added strength to engineering as well as organizing skills."

I always thought I was a good strategic organizer. :D

I think this is similar to when I took it years back?
It is funny though that the jobs it shows are computer programmer, education, and translator.

This was bumped like hell, holy shit. No wonder I thought it was familiar. :lol

So basically, all my personal traits appear under-expressed? Or am I interpretting this wrong?

One in the same with total bad-ass George Washington.

Really strong in the INT part, but could go either way on J or P.
 
INTP. I think I did this wrong, I'm sure I could do this better if I concentrated to it some more. Wait...

Edit: why the fuck was this bumped? There was a new thread and I thought I was posting in that.
 
ENFP is what it popped out. The description sounds fine--but then again, this feels a lot like astrology--which any intelligent person knows is bullshit.

Well not really. Astrology attempts to guess your traits based on completely unrelated natural phenomenon with no scientific link.

This just tries to generalize your behavioral patterns from how you answer the question.

Doesn't mean it's accurate, but there is a factual basis for the results.

Am I surprised? Not really.


Queen Elizabeth II, Harry S. Truman, Warren Buffet, Queen Victoria, James K. Polk, and J.D. Rockefeller are examples of Inspector Guardians.


Well... Truman kicked ass. As did Rockefeller...
 
I'm also an INTJ. I don't think a lot about how I do things, so many of the questions are hard to answer. I don't think the result is necessarily "correct". But it's fun to do these tests anyway!

Heh, for the career indicator it says I am suitable to be a librarian, which I am and have been for 4 years now.
 
Wow.. I'm one of the few INFPs around :(

INFPs, represent!
Extraverted intuition faces outward, greeting the world on behalf of Feeling. What the observer usually sees is creativity with implied good will. Intuition spawns this type's philosophical bent and strengthens pattern perception. It combines as auxiliary with introverted Feeling and gives rise to unusual skill in both character development and fluency with language--a sound basis for the development of literary facility. If INTPs aspire to word mechanics, INFPs would be verbal artists.

Accurate. I see almost everything in some form of pattern. It helps me see the next step.
 
i remember taking this thing when i was about 16 and the personality i got said i had a small amount of precognition. yes. its in there. this test is retarded.
 
4 years ago, according to this thread, i was INFJ. i am now an INTJ.

edit: damn, this was the first result of my search and figured it was updated recently not 3 years ago.
 
INFJ
Introvert: 56%
Intuitive 12%
Feeling: 38%
Juding: 67%

I always enjoy taking this test because I usually flip flop between INFJ and INFP. I honestly like being an INFP more but having taken this test at least 6 times now I've now had more INFJ results than INFP. To be fair I took this test fairly recently before this current test so I'm not sure if that really counts.

edit: Damn it I thought this was a new thread. :[
