Personality Test

What is your Meyers-Briggs Type?

First time I took this test I got INFJ, second time i was ENFJ. I voted here as INFJ as I spent most of my time feeling introverted - i think the second time I must have been in a particularly good mood!

^Yeah, i just took the test and scored INFP. I remember taking the test several years ago and scored INTJ on it, but my core beliefs have really changed since then (for example, I was studying to become a biologist at the time, and became increasingly disillusioned with the world of laboratories).

When I was at the beginning of my opiate habit, I took the test again, three years ago, and scored ENFP or something similar. Opiates made me incredibly talkative and social back then, but as I got accustomed to the feeling, I slid back into introversion, which is not necessarily a bad thing, since I think I have struck a much better balance of social skills and nerding out since then.

But its really interesting to have taken a Meyers-Briggs test several times and noticed how changes in my thinking and behavior have impacted my results...everything from belief systems to drug use can influence it. We usually assume that personality is a fairly non-malleable dimension, but re-taking the test just now made me contemplate how the opposite is true.

Yeah, I once toook the test at home & then, within 48 hours, at work in order to see if the results were different, as I recall I was more judgemental at work ( unsurprising ) than at home but it does show how we mould ourselves to fit a certain purpose.
 
when a thread like this came through somethingawful.com there were very few of us INTP Architects, but here on bluelight it's holds the majority.

weird, eh?
 
6 of the 8 intuitive types are well represented. In fact, they make up all the well represented types. I don't think that's an accident. It takes someone who enjoys peering below the surface of the obvious to be into philosophy or spirituality.

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:

* moderately expressed extravert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* moderately expressed feeling personality
* slightly expressed perceiving personality
 
it got me aaaaalll wrong! and half of the questions should be answered "depends on the situation". i just had to punt, since you could only answer "yes" or "no". i give it a thumbs down.
 
Yeah I agree that some of the questions depend on certain situations. For those questions I just answered what I thought was more prevalent.
 
Sure, whatever you want to do with it is cool. The author of the thread you linked above posted the same link that I posted in this thread. May as well merge it.
 
I've found the Myers-Briggs test quite interesting and it got me down pretty accurate I think. Consistently scoring as an INTP. Helped me realize a few things about my self and other people reading all the descriptions.
 
INTP. Pretty good test, but I've always doubted facile attempts to pigeonhole human behavior and qualities by such a formulaic method as a 'Personality Inventory.' This is not to mention the highly debatable status of static 'personality' as a true psychic entity in the first place.

On the other hand, the profusion of so-called 'Architects' and 'Masterminds' on an internet philosophy board could be seen as a testament to the Inventory's real-world validity. Perhaps the population of 'Champions' and 'Healers' are representative of the more "spiritual" crowd...

Kinda interesting, a couple of the questions made me stop and think for a sec. A couple of my initial answers changed when I thought back to instances of actual behavior.

Just looking now at the poll, I wouldn't mind seeing some stats from the website about what results it actually spits out. We got more than a third of people here reporting INTP or INTJ, when the actual number is meant to be <5%. Surely something isn't right here even given that this is a philosophy sub-forum.

I think bluelighters in general are far more likely to be INTP than in a "normal" crowd of people.
I took the test on 3 different occasions, one of them was through a career counselor, and I got INTP all 3 times.
Some of their questions make too much of an assumption about someone like "you feel comfortable doing things the familiar way" I mean the whole reason why people choose to do something in a familiar way is to feel comfortable about the outcome.
