Myers–Briggs Personalities! (also known as 16 presonalities)

[Tairaadansu]

The results are pretty close, it's 80-90% accurate.

[Guest]

I don't put much weight on myers-briggs types, however I do find them interesting.

 

I recently had to take one of these for career placement counselling at school and I scored practically null in all categories (if I remember correctly, +1% I, +1% N, +1% F, and +2% J), which I find funny because I just retook the test now and got ESTJ O.0

 

Idk man, all I know is that I agree with the -A at the end

I think INTP describes me best, though I got INTJ-T on that test.

I'm likely INTP. I've tested as several other things over the years (mostly INTJ and sometimes INFP, rarely ISTJ), but if you get fully into the theories behind it, like Jungian cognitive functions and stuff, you can usually figure out your type more clearly. But yeah, I'm fairly certain I'm INTP. (And the turbulent/assertive thing is just some nonsense that one particular online test -- 16 Personalities -- tacks on to their formula, and it has nothing to do with MBTI whatsoever.)

None of this is real science though, and it's not recognised as having any true validity in psychology. It's best taken with a grain of salt. Fun and interesting, but not something to take too seriously. That said, I've been interested in personality analysis for many years. Borrowed my first book on MBTI from the public library when I was about eight or nine haha.

What, you're telling me that employers are possibly rejecting me based on a test that isn't recognized in the world of psychology?!

What kind of crooked employers ask for MBTI?

Quite a few actually. So far the only employer I didn't need to take the test for is the hospital network I currently work for.

Ooooh actually. The only time I had to take "personality tests" for jobs was back when I was working retail in college.  Supposedly those weed out people who show up late and steal. I'm curious, do they also ask for things like marital status, if you have children, and your specific age?

I got INFJ - A

Test was quite interesting.

[knick-knack]

INTP.

For being one of the "rarest" types, this forum truly is full of INTPs.

INTP,yep that's me alright.

INFP-T The Mediator

 

Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, Mediators have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.

 

Being a part of the Diplomat Role group, Mediators are guided by their principles, rather than by logic (Analysts), excitement (Explorers), or practicality (Sentinels). When deciding how to move forward, they will look to honor, beauty, morality and virtue – Mediators are led by the purity of their intent, not rewards and punishments. People who share the Mediator personality type are proud of this quality, and rightly so, but not everyone understands the drive behind these feelings, and it can lead to isolation.

 

Daaamn. I answered the questions as honestly as I could but that sounds like my idealised version of me, not actually me. Or maybe it's me sans imposter syndrome.

 

I recognise a lot of myself in the "weaknesses" of the mediator personality, but from my reading of it, that sort of view of the self is a trait of the mediator, so I guess it fits.

INTJ- A Is my most common test result.

 

It is fairly accurate, though my I/E and A/T are at 50% so they sometimes change depending on my bipolar affected mood. 

[Félinferno]

INFP-T

I'd say it's fairly accurate (except for the optimistic part, since I'm definitely a pessimistic person).

[Xenobot]

INTJ-A, which I already knew but retook the test anyway. What's actually rather interesting about this poll is just how disproportionately represented the introverted-intuitive folks are. The types that begin with IN are each estimated to be 5% or less of the population.

Why am I not surprised? Will you be my queerplatonic arch nemesis?

Sure, I have many rivals. You can join them

[fiѕh]

What's it with all you people being IN's?

I feel... surrounded.

“THE MEDIATOR” (INFP-T)

 

That's what I got. I am also turbulent, non-assertive (which I agree is accurate).

 

Yep. This test is pretty accurate

This is very timely and relevant for me. At work, we have access to online training courses and I'm currently taking a course on personality types and the impact on work, such as communication, working relationships, etc. I've gone to several sites on the Internet to take free MBTI tests, including 16 Personalities. On most of the tests I scored ISTJ but on a few I scored INTJ. Each dimension is a sliding scale and some tests show where you land on the scale. For the I, T, and J, I scored around 70% so there's no doubt about those ones (and I definitely identify with being I, T, and J). For S vs N, though, I usually scored just over 50% and I identify with both, although maybe a little more with S than N. When I read the descriptions for ISTJ, it definitely sounds like me, but when I read the descriptions for INTJ, it also sounds a lot like me. It's interesting how the different dimensions are not black and white but are more of a scale and sometimes people will be in the middle and sometimes at one end or the other (this is a point that's been emphasized a lot in the course - people don't often neatly fit into one single box).

I forgot to mention that I recently read the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. If you find the subject of personalities interesting, I'm sure you'll enjoy reading the book.

[Guest]

INTJ -- everything I've seen related to this personality type has been spookily accurate in describing me. It's nice to see "IN" personality types so disproportionately represented here (when compared to larger society)! 

 

I, also, agree with @Mr E on Susan Cain's book - super interesting read. There's also a TEDtalk pertaining to the material from this book from a few years back: https://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts

 

[SamwiseLovesLife]

It's very interesting to me how the vast majority are Introverts! I got a major on the E element of my ENFJ

I've taken this test so many times, got different results (INTP, INFP, INFJ, INTJ). I'm starting to think it all depends on how I'm feeling at a certain point in my life. At least I got Introversion and Intuition down. 

 

INxJ / INxP 

ME too. First time I got ENFP later IFSJ and right now I have INFP.  I think that te last one is accurate right now 

[Mauru]

I got Defender (ISFJ-T). Pretty accurate, although I don't have "robust social relationships". In fact, I have no social relationships, robust or otherwise.

I got bored today so I took some different quizzes (from Similar Minds, Human Metrics, Celebrity Types, etc). Apparently now I'm an ISTP, who wants to be an ESTP, with Enneagram 549. Hahaha!! Ok. I guess I can see it.

 

I forget which test it was, but one of them made me feel like a heartless bitch because I got 100% Thinking and 0% Feeling.

[dragon_nerd]

I like how only 3% of people are supposed to be INTP but 20.16% selected it (at the time of this post). 

[J. van Deijck]

I'm an INTJ/INFJ hybrid it seems, most tests say Turbulent, no idea why.
