What's your Myers Briggs type?

BigSlideHimself · Post by **BigSlideHimself** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 11:45 am

If you don't know you can take the test here:

I'm an INTP myself - polarized on all except the P, which is about 30% - so I'm similar to an INTJ but inclined toward perceiving.

What's your type? - I expect alot of INTPs/ INTJs here.

Hmmm, ISTJ, 44-12-50-22 respectively.

Whatever this means... is this good?

INTJ, from memory N and T strongly expressed, J moderate and I weakly expressed. (Don't really feel the inclination to take the test yet again.) A lot of people I know are similar, although the type is relatively rare in the wider world.

The type is fairly accurate as well, since I am in the software development field and have a strong feel for the abstract.

Hm, I'm not sure how well the results from a 72-question quiz match up to a full true Meyers-Briggs battery.

As I recall from a more thorough typology I did a few years back, I'm an INTJ, but a bit less introvert than I tend to think I am.

Gekko71 · Post by **Gekko71** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:14 am

Fascinating.

I use Jung personality traits a lot in my business, so I got a big kick out of this exercise.

I did this test many years ago and I was an INTJ. This time around I was an INFP (though the first time I did this, the TJ numbers were reasonably balanced and the same for this time, which would explain the subtle varience).

I thought that there would be a lot of NT personality types on the board and I wasn't far wrong. Ditto for the INTJ personalisty subset. Given that they're relatively rare combinations (only 15 percent of the population are NT, and only 1 in 100 are INTJ according to Keirsey and Bates) - being surrounded by like-minded individuals explains to me why I've always felt so at home here.

Nice one guys.

I've been a steady ISTP since I was 12. I act like an ESTP occasionally, but it's too much effort.

I forget mine, it's buried in my papers somewhere. I was in the middle for most of them except for Introverted\\Extroverted which was waaaaaaaaay over on the extroverted side.

Jeff250 · Post by **Jeff250** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:14 pm

I was hoping for more INTP's, especially from the Math folk, but Foil was a huge disappointment.

To add to what Testiculese says, I can generally act extroverted for a few hours, but then I feel too drained and need to go program or something to get myself together. Except for when I've been hitting the sauce... then my 'I' flips to an 'E' pretty quickly.

Interesting, I just now went and took that online version, and it shows me as having become an INFJ (barely, just 12% on F). I'm not sure if that's due to the ambiguity of some of the questions about empathy, or if I've actually changed a bit.

To those who don't know, this Myers-Briggs typology isn't unique to that site - search for your type on wiki and you can read more about it.

There's actually communities built around this. I read the INTP Central forums from time to time.

As for ambiguity in the questions: I tend to chalk that up to the gradient for each section. For instance, the thinking/feeling questions are black and white to me (a letter I'm polarized on) but I have more difficulty answering the P/J questions - since I'm so borderline.

DarkHorse · Post by **DarkHorse** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:18 pm

ENTJ. Always has been but it's even more strongly so now. Slightly / distinctly / distinctly / moderately respectively.

I've heard it being described as an \"Evil Overlord\" personality. It's actually not far off the mark. Hehe.

\"Hillary Clinton, Napoleon, Margaret Thatcher, Carl Sagan, Bill Gates, Golda Meir, Edward Teller, George Benard Shaw, and General George C. Marshall are examples of Rational Fieldmarshals.\"

Yep. I've had this test done by a Psychologist a few years back and the results were the same as the free version. In fact I've done all the free versions and they all come out the same with just slight differences in percentages. So, these tests are pretty accurate.

What is really interesting is how the book, Please Understand Me II, shows that only about 1% of the population is INTJ, yet many of you are INTJ

So am I.

I scored INTJ four years ago, and I just did the test again today, and scored INTJ, again.

You are:

* very expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* distinctively expressed thinking personality
* very expressed judging personality

The most interesting thing about these personality profiles is that they fall into tetra form personality archetypes.

There are four primary personality types, and since there are sixteen Myers-Briggs combinations, that means that each of the four archetypes have four subtypes.

The Platonic names are Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy, and Phlegmatic.

The Myers Briggs and Please Understand Me II names that correspond to that are called Artisan, Idealist, Guardian, and Rational, respectively.

All humans have a combination or spectrum arising from these \"primary color\" personality types.

I find it all very fascinating.

It all depends on how they write the questions and the way that you react to the questions.

---

Their test showed:

INTJ

Introverted: 89
Intuitive: 25
Thinking: 12
Judging: 44

You are:

* very expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* slightly expressed thinking personality
* moderately expressed judging personality

http://www.humanmetrics.com/vocation/JC ... F=12&JP=44

They nailed down \"Computer Programming\". That's been my profession for over 31 years at the present time.

Like \"Hillary C.\"? I think NOT!

---

In Reality, I'm very introverted and very deep thinker, and somewhat intuitive.

As to the judgemental part? Not quite so convinced of that.

Spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve the software that we write where I work.

Give me an abstract idea and it seems that many times I can come up with a solution to the problem.

Most people see the original 3 by 3 \"Rubik's cube\" as an unsolvable problem. Obviously it is solvable, it takes a lot of patience to learn how to do it. I know how to solve it by using a \"divide and conquer\" method by solving it in third's. The centers are all properly oriented. Anyone can solve 1 side. Next is to solve the middle 4 cubes on the sides. Next the 4 bottom corners, then lastly the 4 remaining cubes on the bottom.

The 4 x 4 Rubiks Revenge is a little harder but solvable.

If you subdivide a large problem into multiple solvable problems then solve the smaller equasions / problems, then the large problem gets solved in the long run.

One of my favorite stories is about a student taking a final math exam that showed up late to class. There were 3 additional problems on the board that were for extra credit on the exam. This student solved 2 of the 3 problems. The professor was absolutely stunned... The 3 problems were supposedly unsolvable. The student didn't know that up front and didn't take that bias into account when solving the 2 problems.
