I'm an ENFP or an ENTP, it's 0% on the F/T criterion.

I definitely notice a preponderance of Introverted types everywhere I go on the net. It could be a general thing that most people are introverted or perhaps that heavy users of the internet tend to be of that type.
 
Yeah, this is a more user-friendly medium for introverts. Looking back at the information I posted before about the difference between extroverts and introverts you can see why.

First letter: Energizing preference. Extraverts (sic) rejuvenate themselves by spending time with others; Introverts seek restoration by spending time alone. This goes well beyond "talkativeness" or "shyness." Extraverts like to partake of any activity that allows them to interact with the world around them; Introverts enjoy quiet time to themselves. Extraverts, at least in America, consist of about 3/4 of the population. For this reason, it is considered more socially acceptable to be an Extravert than an Introvert. The irony is that this preference is the least important of the four.
 
Most of the people I know are extroverts, and definatley none of them spend any time on message boards sharing their thoughts.
 
I got ENFJ. FWIW I took this test a few years ago and got INTJ (which was called accountant *gasp* , not mastermind on my test). Like all other tests there is some artificiality in the forced choices, but in both instances it described my personality pretty well. I've gone from being the most quiet, detached person in most groups to the most garrulous, though still not the life of the party. I've stopped living so much in my head and come to value my emotions a lot more, even though I still think a lot. It was surprising to see how much my scores have changed. For the ones that did, I was only weakly in the direction of the new score.

The enneagram - now that's a test where I haven't changed my basic personality type. (1, strong 9 wing, for anyone who cares).

You got the same as my girlfriend, doesn't get any better ;)

Provider Guardians [ESFJs] take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, but they are also the most sociable of all the Guardians, and thus are the great nurturers of established institutions such as schools, businesses, churches, social clubs, and civic groups. Wherever they go, Providers take up the role of social contributor, happily giving their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, that traditions are supported and developed, and that social functions are a success.

Providers are very likely more than ten percent of the population, and this is very fortunate for the rest of us, because friendly social service is a key to their nature. Highly cooperative themselves, Providers are skilled in maintaining teamwork among their helpers, and are also tireless in their attention to the details of furnishing goods and services. They make excellent chairpersons in charge of social events. They are without peer as masters of ceremonies, able to approach others with ease and confidence, and seemingly aware of what everyone’s been doing. And they are outstanding hosts or hostesses, able to remember people’s names, usually after one introduction, and always concerned about the needs of their guests, wanting to insure that all are involved and provided for.

Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others. This is not to say that Providers are afraid to express their own emotional reactions. They are quick to like and dislike—and don’t mind saying so—tending to put on a pedestal whatever or whoever they admire, and to come down hard on those people and issues they don’t care for.

In their choice of careers, Providers may lean toward sales and service occupations. They have such pleasant, outgoing personalities that they are far and away the best sales reps, not only regularly winning sales contests, but earning seniority in any sales group within an organization. Observing ESFJs at work in a sales transaction reveals clearly how this type personalizes the sale. They are visibly—and honestly—concerned with their customer’s welfare, and thus the customer is not simply buying the product, but is buying personally from the Provider. This same characteristic causes them to be good in many people-to-people jobs, as teachers, clergy, coaches, social workers, office receptionists, and so on. Providers seldom become a source of irritation in the workplace; on the contrary, they are unflagging in their devotion to their company, and show such personal loyalty to their immediate superiors that they make invaluable personal secretaries.
 
Something else i want to mention. Pretty much all my mates are extroverts, i get along with them much easier then introverts, our interaction is much more seamless and easy going.

Also I dont think we all sit at home on computers rather then going out, it's just that introverts need more time to themselves to recharge then extroverts, and i find the internet a great medium for doing this. I dont really consider talking on these forums socialising, it's more like i'm alone and having conversations with myself.
 
i got INTP too. but i missed the strength of the preferences.

its sort of accurate...except for i'm hardly cut out to be an engineer. but i do think an awful lot, and i want to know everything.

interesting test

Normal people are just strange.

(I'm thinking of the blonde girly girls who probably think I'm some loser).

For myself:

A)I have no money to go to a bar but I wouldn't go even if I did. I'd probably go listen to music/a band/ dj somewhere if I had the coin. Bars around here aren't really bars. A tavern is a better place. Or pub.
B)I don't really know anyone where I live.
C)When I drink alone sometimes I like to be by myself.
D)I probably have that social disorder thing where sometimes I can't stand being with people. Buying groceries is sometimes difficult. lol.

I don't really know. I mean I'm not really introverted in some sense of the word. Or maybe I really deeply am. I don't know where it stems from.
As a group of people. I think its just some sense of profound isolation. Really. Or just being completely self-centered. Two sides of the same coin.

Excluded. Selfish.

Is it a North American phemon? on the rise...

Somehow also as an additional comment being extremely introverted is also
taboo. in NA culture. I get that a lot. A lot of people pen me as shy (the extroverts damn them!) . I have been called autistic. There is this sense that something is wrong. When in fact there isn't. Socially I just don't care.
Or quiet. People say I'm quiet. Bugs the hell out of me. Invisible too. "Oh I didn't realize you were there...."

But people cannot stand being in a room when no conversation is going on. Some people will just freak.
 
When I did it how I feel now, I got INTP, when I did it acording to who I'd like to be I got ENFJ. No wonder I'm losing my mind and so confused atm.
 
this forum has a bizzare INT bias...which is very different from the populace at large.
...
my "I" is a shy "I", rather than a "schizotypal" "I"...I sometimes wonder if I am really introverted...I also wonder why the interaction on the internet "doesn't count".

ebola
 
I got INFP. This matches pretty well with me. Allthought... I'm more introverted and emotional.

E = 1 I = 38
S = 7 N = 32
T = 11 F = 28
J = 19 P = 20

Most definately. I try to understand why they do the things they do, and still don't get it. They crack jokes about the stupidest things, and I still don't get it. I must be a total geek then...

Never had that. I have this whole loner, brooding type of person going on, and from what I read, and have experienced females like that for some strange reason. Which leads to many broken hearts, and ruined relationshipd for me. For some reason they think I'm just bottling everything up, and I'm not. I truly am that care free. Nothing really affects me that much. I used to care, then I went through three years of hell as a teenager, and that stopped right there. Now I just can't seem to bring myself to truly care about another human being, or even anything that I should. I'm jaded, and shattered, and most likely suffering from post-traumatic depression. :\

I agree, I like going to this one pub where the music majors from ASU have this thing going on everynight. It's great to sit there, and chill with a Guiness, and listen to them just slam some old school rock, and roll out. The blues night is the best though. ;)

B)I don't really know anyone where I live.

Hell, I've lived here for three monthes, and I know a total of 7 people here. I don't actively talk to them either it's just if I have to. I'm not too social anymore. I grow weary of getting involved into another situation like last year. OMFGTSA.

C)When I drink alone sometimes I like to be by myself.

I hate grocery stores.

I say it's growing in America, because people are just getting tired of all the mind games, and the BS that goes on all the fucking time here. I never got any of this crap when in Germany, or the middle east.

I was ask if I was autistic by a room-mate last year. I said nope, but he said I should go find out. Turn's out I have what's called Asperger's syndrome. Mine leans into the mathematical, and conceptial thinking area. I'm extremely talented with visualizing things, and understanding how something complex works without reference, or manuals. I also have a photorealistic memory. I have taken cars apart full, and I mean totally down to pieces of the frames sitting there to restore tham, and put them all back together from memory. This is on E-type Jaguar's too. The most complex cars on the planet. Interpersonal interaction in a social situation tends to be a hard thing for me though. :\

But people cannot stand being in a room when no conversation is going on. Some people will just freak.

I have met people like that. It drives them insane that I can go an entire day without saying a damn word. In my family I can have an entire conversation, and they will understand me completely without me saying more than a few words, but for people that don't know me. It drives them insane.

I had a girlfriend, that hated this about me. Hence why she's no longer here, but I still don't know why she even bothered, maybe she thought I would change.

My motto is if you have nothing to say of any value, shut the fuck up. You are contributing to the polution, and ignorance of the human race.
 
i dont like this test, i dont like the "black/white" approach...u have to choose between yes and no all the time, i think that's complete BS, but hey i ll do the stupid test anyway =D

edit: accordin to this test i m eNFj type...the outcome is not that surprisin to me , still i dont like the approach and i dont really believe in tests anyways....everyone is unique ;)

lol :Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship.:\ But it's usually not meant as manipulation
