Your Myers-Briggs personality type

[manarak]

This personality test (MBTI) yields a lot of interesting insights on your personality.
While all may not be true, most of it is, 80% in my case.

The TEST: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

then look on the internet for explanations/interpretations of your type.

My type is INTJ, and there's a funny page about it:

I wonder if the personality type has something to do with liking ladyboys?


I couldn't do a poll since the poll only allows 10 choices and there are 16 types.

I took it last summer as a part of my 533X - Assessments graduate course. I think I scored ENTP but I'd have to check over my materials to be sure.

Thanks Manarak, these kinds of tests can be interesting time wasters.
It turns out that I'm:

INFJ
Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging
Strength of the preferences %
44 38 38 22

Functional Analysis:

Introverted iNtuition
Introverted intuitives, INFJs enjoy a greater clarity of perception of inner, unconscious processes than all but their INTJ cousins. Just as SP types commune with the object and "live in the here and now" of the physical world, INFJs readily grasp the hidden psychological stimuli behind the more observable dynamics of behavior and affect. Their amazing ability to deduce the inner workings of the mind, will and emotions of others gives INFJs their reputation as prophets and seers. Unlike the confining, routinizing nature of introverted sensing, introverted intuition frees this type to act insightfully and spontaneously as unique solutions arise on an event by event basis.


It also mentioned that I am nocturnal, covered in green scales, possess counter rotating eyes, a prehensile tail, and that I have a soft yellow underbelly. It's really uncanny they way they can get it so right!

INTP

You are:
slightly expressed introvert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
slightly expressed thinking personality
slightly expressed perceiving personality


Rational Portrait of the Architect (INTP)

Architects need not be thought of as only interested in drawing blueprints for buildings or roads or bridges. 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. What is important for Architects is that they grasp fundamental principles and natural laws, and that their designs are elegant, that is, efficient and coherent.

Architects are rare - maybe one percent of the population - and show the greatest precision in thought and speech of all the types. They tend to see distinctions and inconsistencies instantaneously, and can detect contradictions no matter when or where they were made. It is difficult for an Architect to listen to nonsense, even in a casual conversation, without pointing out the speaker's error. And in any serious discussion or debate Architects are devastating, their skill in framing arguments giving them an enormous advantage. Architects regard all discussions as a search for understanding, and believe their function is to eliminate inconsistencies, which can make communication with them an uncomfortable experience for many.

Ruthless pragmatists about ideas, and insatiably curious, Architects are driven to find the most efficient means to their ends, and they will learn in any manner and degree they can. They will listen to amateurs if their ideas are useful, and will ignore the experts if theirs are not. Authority derived from office, credential, or celebrity does not impress them. Architects are interested only in what make sense, and thus only statements that are consistent and coherent carry any weight with them.

Architects often seem difficult to know. They are inclined to be shy except with close friends, and their reserve is difficult to penetrate. Able to concentrate better than any other type, they prefer to work quietly at their computers or drafting tables, and often alone. Architects also become obsessed with analysis, and this can seem to shut others out. Once caught up in a thought process, Architects close off and persevere until they comprehend the issue in all its complexity. Architects prize intelligence, and with their grand desire to grasp the structure of the universe, they can seem arrogant and may show impatience with others who have less ability, or who are less driven.

Mine is an ENFJ personality..

As an ENFJ, you're primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system.

More so than any other type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people. ENFJ's main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people. They are focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. They make things happen for people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this.

Because ENFJ's people skills are so extraordinary, they have the ability to make people do exactly what they want them to do. They get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking. ENFJ's motives are usually unselfish, but ENFJs who have developed less than ideally have been known to use their power over people to manipulate them.

It's natural to their personality type that they will tend to place other people's needs above their own, but they need to stay aware of their own needs so that they don't sacrifice themselves in their drive to help others.

ENFJs do not like dealing with impersonal reasoning. They don't understand or appreciate its merit, and will be unhappy in situations where they're forced to deal with logic and facts without any connection to a human element.

Their genuine interest in Humankind and their exceptional intuitive awareness of people makes them able to draw out even the most reserved individuals.ENFJs are charming, warm, gracious, creative and diverse individuals with richly developed insights into what makes other people tick,they can read other people with uncanny accuracy.

Also they identify with others quite easily, and will actually find themselves picking up the characteristics, emotions, and beliefs of those around them. Because they slip almost unconsciously into other people's skin in this way, ENFJ's feel closely connected with those around them, and thus show a sincere interest in the joys and problems of their employees, colleagues, students, clients, and loved ones.

Just about sums me up..

a prehensile tail,

hmm... I think they confused your front and back sides...

[laputanegra]

Mine is : ESFP

You are:

* very expressed extravert
* slightly expressed sensing personality
* moderately expressed feeling personality
* slightly expressed perceiving personality

[tomscam]

I'm the same as Manarak, INTJ.

Did this test a while ago and think that it pretty much sums me up.

I think the fascination with ladyboys is just an extra quirk.

[thaibound]

after testing out as an INTJ, i went back and re-took the test trying to give the answers i felt/thought/imagined would be the best/correct answers, which is to say: the answers i wished i could honestly give, such as caring more about people (especially in soaps), etc. etc. and that second time through i came back as an ENFJ.

reading the descriptions of both afterward, i found the idea of being an INTJ "mastermind" sounding cooler than being an ENFJ "teacher" -- although having my partner be an ENFJ might be nice

one detail that caught my eye was that in the two areas which didn't change with my re-taking of the test -- Intuitive and Judging -- even the strength of preference percentage was exactly the same. thus i make the intuitive judgment that i am exactly as intuitively judgemental as i want to be.

but needing to work on turning that I and T into an E and F, the next time i'm alone in my room with just one ladyboy, dodging my social and socializing responsibilities -- i'll be sure to stop to ask her if she'd like me to take her back to the bar to gather all her friends together and chat about how we all feel.... and if she says yes, she would very much like to immediately get dressed and go do just that...



i'll go find another fucking ladyboy!

Just finished an assignment module on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator as part of a degree I am currently being forced to do (ISTP, by the way)
Personally I think it's all a bit pink and fluffy,and after completing the assignment I came to the conclusion I would rather blow torch my nipples than go through that shite again!

[manarak]

i felt/thought/imagined would be the best/correct answers, which is to say: the answers i wished i could honestly give

err... that's not how it is supposed to work - the test is about who you are and not about who you aspire to be.
I think about who I should be  when answering a test for a job and I think they expect an extraverted person or one focused on details, then I change the way I answer.
But not if taking the test for knowing more about myself.

The best method is to give each question less than 2 seconds for an answer.

Me too, I would like to be more sociable, to be able to make friends more easily with people, to naturally blend into a group of people, to be more caring about people's feelings, etc...
but the truth is that this kind of activities make me tired. Quickly.

So I think that your type really is INTJ and not ENFJ.

As you, I tried in the past to actively work to become stronger in the areas of E and F, but I can't keep it up for long, fatigue comes quickly and when acting as if I was genuinely interested in some relationship gossips, I felt first dizzy, and then depressed/tired.
I had to spend 2 weeks almost alone to regain strength.


INTJ make about 1 to 2% of the general population, and as much as 40% of INTJ's have an IQ in the higher 2% percentile.

The types ENTJ, ISTJ, INTP, INFJ have much in common with INTJ.

And the perfect partner match for INTJ is supposed to be ENFP - which my wife is :-)



BTW, we already have 3 people now who tested INTJ, me included, that is a lot for a group that should represent a maximum of 2% of a population!

Plus 3 with types that are close with INTJ!

Hmm... keep the empirical data coming...

(manarak @ Nov. 27 2009,00:07) I wonder if the personality type has something to do with liking ladyboys?

One of the questions is:

You feel more comfortable sticking to
conventional ways

Liking ladyboys or being a ladyboy is certainly not conventional so I'd imagine most posters would answer "no" to this one.

[ezflip]

I took this test about 10 years ago and my result was ENFJ. The question were not the same as this one but after 10 years the result is still the same - ENFJ. I wish I could remember the % though. I bet those have changed since the last time.
