Know yourself: The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Thread [Archive]

Reesha

I know that not everyone appreciates personality tests, but I absolutely love the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator method (MBTI) because of how much it has helped me overcome weaknesses and to understand those around me better.

I also love to know where others fall in this spectrum as well.

Here is one of the better MBTI tests I've seen because your type is all based on a sliding scale, and this test allows you to answer on a sliding scale rather than just 'yes' or 'no'.

http://similarminds.com/jung.html

For those unfamiliar, MBTI, the wikipedia article is fairly comprehensive:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator

I am an ENFP. It means I am serious about externally expressing my feelings and that I can be a bit of a flake at times. ENFPs have a hard time listening to others, although they may be sincere. I have the long-term ADD of ENFP: I like to dream big for no good reason whatsoever and change my situation often to keep things interesting.

I'm the kind of person who likes to, ummmm influence/guide the outcomes of these type of things (I find the questions to generally be kind of transparent, I guess). The last time I had to do one - it was a work thing when I was at the VA, it was some sort of 4 quadrant thing. I got my circle right smack in the middle on the cross hairs......

I wonder what that says about me :rolleyes:

Reesha

09-02-2011, 10:24 AM

Yeah, I think also the more you know about MBTI, you can figure out your result without ever taking a test. At this point I can type friends before they've taken the test mostly by just knowing them and their habits.

I feel like ENFPs have a strong tendency to be very outwardly immature and I think back to my dark days as a college lady and know it is true. My psychologist friends now tell me I'm the most mature ENFP they know :) yay? I had to take the time to learn to listen properly, to recognize that not everyone needs to talk out their feelings to process them, and to settle myself when I get antsy to change my life around 180 degrees. :)

I'm not sure what the 'name' is for ENFP. maybe the advocate? Different sites have different names for the types.

Not a big fan of personality tests since a lot of the questions are vague, like "are you introverted?". That depends on the situation. My DH is far more introverted than I am, so he would say I wasn't.

I was surprised when the results came up as ISTB. Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Perceiving. Not sure how to describe it, but an online search nailed it almost perfect except for being athletic. I'm about as graceful as a hippo.

However; I've always wanted to be athletic and cycling has helped. I always wanted to ride a skateboard, go snowboarding, skiing, but the opportunities were never there and my back would never allow it anyway. So does that count as athletic? LOL.

ESTP - "Promotor". Action! When present, things begin to happen. Fiercely competitive. Entrepreneur. Often uses shock effect to get attention. Negotiator par excellence. 4.3% of total population.

The questions seem so weird, as Bethany notes, but the result seems pretty on target. I'm a professional mediator and spend my days negotiating; I started my own firm 2 years ago. Yeah, I'm competitive. :rolleyes:

Heh - that was funny. I was taking it and feeling like I was being entirely too wishy-washy in my responses even though they accurately reflected how I felt about each question.

So my result was this:

ESTJ - "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population

Which is pretty spot-on accurate.

But when I looked at this:

Extroverted (E) 52.78% Introverted (I) 47.22%
Sensing (S) 52.94% Intuitive (N) 47.06%
Thinking (T) 60% Feeling (F) 40%
Judging (J) 52.63% Perceiving (P) 47.37%

I WAS being wishy-washy! I'm pretty close to middle of the road for most of these. Interesting. Perhaps that's why I often get told that I should have been a diplomat?

I'm generally on the border of INFJ and INTJ. Depending on what's going on in my life, it registers as either more feeling or thinking.

Edit Argh! I just took the test, and I'm INTP! These changes are a sign of upheaval. And that is certainly the truth. But I also think all these descriptions of me are accurate. In the poll, I answered INFJ, because that's what I most often was in the past.

Ah, your P and J are so close, I don't think it's anything to worry about. My INTP boyfriend is the biggest empath I know. He swings from being really T sometimes to being really F when the moment strikes. :)

Thinking back over the years, every other time I've taken this test I've been an INFJ, this shows I've gone through some changes over the years ;) P/J have always been quite close, and F/J has typically been closer as well.

I like Reeshas description: "It means I am serious about externally expressing my feelings and that I can be a bit of a flake at times. ENFPs have a hard time listening to others, although they may be sincere. I have the long-term ADD of ENFP: I like to dream big for no good reason whatsoever and change my situation often to keep things interesting."

I love that I can click on one of the other types, read its description, and it *also* sounds like me!

Like how any ol' horoscope will do.

All the info bits I'm finding on Meyers Briggs emphasize over and over again that the types are just "preferences." They are not abilities. Not strengths. Not personalities. Not defining characteristics. Not set in stone. Any of us could function as any "type," given the right circumstances. The various tests just let us clarify our current preferences.

Kind of fun to play with.

To me, the most important thing about these tests is they help us to understand others. Certainly they do help us to understand ourselves, but even more important is they can be a tool to help us to see how we interact with others - and thus to understand them better.

Then again, I can be a little flaky, so never mind :)

KnottedYet

09-03-2011, 02:32 PM

Well, I believe that everyone has a default preference. As we overcome our weaknesses and emphasize our strengths we can become more like another preference. The test is really not the most important part of typing, typing is at it's best when its understanding yourself and understanding the details of the system (which I really am not even close to doing yet-- I mean it's Jung... it's pretty heavy stuff) together to know the type.

Exactly! That's why I think it's such fun to play with. You have every skill and every characteristic of every "type." Finding your preferences (which skills you lean on the most comfortably) is fun.

Having a preference is not a weakness. It is not something to be overcome. There isn't one perfect "type" we should all strive for. No perfect Aryan god/dess. It isn't "ENTP uber alles." I dig it. It's fun.

20 years ago I got all hot and bothered over the concept of "individuation." I read every dayum thing I could find on it. Since then I've matured and eased off on the "I must strive to become..." shineola. If it isn't fun, why bother? That's what I like about the uncorrupted MB stuff, there is no "strive," there's just preference. No value scale. Groovy.

Jung is easier in comic book form. I just searched my bookshelves for my favorite comic-book of Jung. Apparently I traded it in while in the process of casting off my chains <grin>. (the definitive act of individuation?) (get it? Individuating by refusing to work on individuation? See what I did there?) ;)

Nope - just tired of being dependable. :D

ISTJ, which is pretty much how I've always come out on these tests. I've always been viewed by family and friends as the dependable, level-headed one. Sounds kind of boring.

Nearly 20 years ago I tested ENTJ but now ESTJ. I'm going to guess that the change to S is because of life experience (a little more pragmatic) and I'm presently not doing anywhere near as much to feed my inner creativity. Interestingly, this weekend I started to organize my workroom so I can go back to playing with color rather than computers.:rolleyes:

Extroverted (E) 55.26% Introverted (I) 44.74%
Sensing (S) 52.78% Intuitive (N) 47.22%
Thinking (T) 63.16% Feeling (F) 36.84%
Judging (J) 70.59% Perceiving (P) 29.41%

I clicked ENTJ because I think that is more my natural realm. My right brain shuts down when the left brain is stressed but we're working on that.;)

I've come out both INFJ and INFP. I guess I can take it again as a vote splitter to see which I'll come out with this time.

somehow I missed this one.

ENTJ - "Field Marshall". The basic driving force and need is to lead. Tend to seek a position of responsibility and enjoys being an executive. 1.8% of total population.

Does this mean I'm a control freak?? YIKES!!

I have trouble knowing what to answer sometimes on these questions, or am surprised at the results. There are four axes - introvert/extrovert, sensing/intuitive, thinking/feeling and judging/perceiving. I usually come out with a clear preference towards introversion, even though I consider myself and am usually seen as outgoing and even bossy. I put the introversion thing down to being pretty much an HSP, I can be very social but I get very tired and crave solitude afterwards.

I never know quite what to answer on feeling vs thinking, though. I'm extremely analytical by nature, but also emotional and easily distressed by others. To me these two traits go hand in hand, I don't feel like I can choose between feeling and thinking. I can to a certain degree choose how I act, and will for example choose to decide something based on facts because how I feel about something can't be trusted ie. I know it will change with time. So I end up in the middle of that axis, even though I feel I actually represent both ends...

This is exactly me - but you put it much better than I ever could have! I've been doing a lot of career introspection lately - and it's harder to figure out because although I love talking to people, I definitely require recovery time afterwards. I definitely would not be happy in a career where I didn't have at least some level of people contact.
