Personality Test

[schizoid]

Scored INTP, these tests are about as psychologically significant as an inkblot test though.

I (INFP) find I somehow tend to attract a lot of INTPs. They seem to really enjoy talking to me, even when I don't agree with them.

I'd bet that the INTPs affinity for your type can be explained by their often insufferable need to debate and finalize, which, when in contact with an FP's relative receptivity, even-handed approach, and tendency to 'open-mindedness,' can often procure a rewarding discussion (though, as you mentioned, not always mutually). After all, as I note its salient suitability, your characterizing profile name is indeed 'My Doors Are Open.'

er...i call it discussing and clarifying.

er...i call it discussing and clarifying

Being an INTP myself, so would I. Just not within a post addressed to someone who'd recently expressed some dissatisfaction with being occasionally beleaguered by those of my persuasion.

I got INFP.
It's quite accurate. Probably most accurate test I have done ( didn't do a lot though )

Thought I would score POOP.

I'm ESTP the promoter.
Charming
Fun to be around
Bold and daring at heart blah blah blah

I'd say this is very accurate to the person i used to be. I found this personality test very difficult as i have changed so much in the last year. A lot of the questions were very , do you like company or being alone more, sort of thing , i used to crave company but now i am a very solitary person i guess my result is pretty inaccurate but only because i refuse to except who depression has made me, and as such wasn't as honest as i could of been in my answers.

Yes, this is often true. There is a difference between who we are and how depression/significant changes have impacted us. You could score one result one day and another the next. We are who we are and we are always subject to change and modification.

I am INTJ.... but I am composer/healer IRL so... moral of the story,I dont give a FUCK what this crap test says lol

All of the results are along the lines of Forer / Barnum statements.

Read the other "personality types" and tell me you don't fit most of them.

 

[-=SS=-]

INFJ
Introvert(67%) iNtuitive(38%) Feeling(38%) Judging(1%)

You have distinctive preference of Introversion over Extraversion (67%)
You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38%)
You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (38%)
You have marginal or no preference of Judging over Perceiving (1%)

===

I did this test about a year ago and got the same result. I think it represents my personality pretty well; definitely majorly introverted, always have been. Same for being intuitive and feeling.

Having said that I don't think a personality test is that important and I regard it the same as an IQ test. Until you know yourself more directly, or someone else for that matter, you're only scratching the surface.

 

[Abject]

ISTP
Introvert 44%
Sensing 50%
Thinking 38%
Perceiving 44%

 

[crazycatman]

Didn't take the test but most put me between INTP and INTJ

INFJ

I´m your counselor babe!

 

[ebola?]

I'll just mention again that these are the most skewed results that I've seen (versus the general population).

[Thorns Have Roses]

I don't trust these things, or my ability to answer them accurately...well the I seems pretty sure though.

INTP
Introvert(100%) iNtuitive(12%) Thinking(1%) Perceiving(33)%
You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (100%)
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%)
You have marginal or no preference of Thinking over Feeling (1%)
You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (33%)

 

[MyDoorsAreOpen]

Indeed. The dearth of S-types is especially striking to me.

 

[TheAppleCore]

Sweet! I'm the most popular type (on BL). :D

INTP

You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (78%)
You have distinctive preference of Intuition over Sensing (62%)
You have moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (50%)
You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (56%)



I must admit, however, that this kind of test really strikes me as a crock of worthless shit. Although, it could perhaps be used well to pair up similar individuals on a dating website. :D

*EDIT* Omg, we should make similar polls in other subforums on BL. I wonder how Steroid Discussion compares to Philosophy and Spirituality - hahaha.

 

[ebola?]

Indeed. The dearth of S-types is especially striking to me.

But this might actually be what we'd expect from a web forum devoted to discussion of philosophy. However, one thing that strikes me is the prominence of INFPs and ENFPs in the forum, given that INTPs (and to some extent INTJs) have a bizarre affinity for for *NFPs...now, would this be due to this affinity's effect on the distribution of social networks, or is this just due to common attraction to philosophical topics?

From the first page:

heh...it could also be that these tests lack reliability...
I'd always take the results with a grain of salt and use face validity as a test (also checking the descriptions of types which should not fit, just to check against the "yeah! that's me!" bias these things often elicit).

These tests are rubbish.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect

It doesn't matter how you answer the test.. The result will seem to fit you (I checked out every description and sure enough I fit all of them but one).

 

[ebola?]

I think that the MBTI is a poor example for where we should expect the Forer/Barnum effect. For most people, most of the type descriptions will seem like a poor fit for them. At the very least, that's the case for me.
