Know yourself: The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Thread

Interesting.

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.

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?

INFP - "Questor". High capacity for caring. Emotional face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 4.4% of total population.

Introverted (I) 68.57% Extroverted (E) 31.43%
Intuitive (N) 55% Sensing (S) 45%
Feeling (F) 55.56% Thinking (T) 44.44%
Perceiving (P) 62.5% Judging (J) 37.5%

[maillotpois]

I had to look up "questor".

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.


I've tried to stop being a boss and live happily as a worker bee, but every single time I end up getting promoted to a very high level... whether I want to our not. Guess it's personality based.

INTJ - "Mastermind". Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models.

I've taken various versions of this test many times (the full one, professionally scored, twice and lots of shorter online versions) since my senior year in high school and have tested every single time as an INTJ. Know yourself, indeed.

Voldemort!

*to qualify, I love INTJs. They are such fun because they think entirely different from me in most ways-- but we are universally united by our intuitiveness. love it.

Yes! It's hard to read the description without adding the word "evil" in front of "mastermind."

Your type is: ENTP

ENTP - "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 3.2% of the total population.

[sjane]

I didn't take the test just now, but I always get INFP, with a heavy emphasis on the Introvert. I think it was 100% last time.

[Possegal]

I too didn't take it now but always get ESFP when I take these things.

[tytbody]

Can those other two ladies who came to this ESFP please show me you so I can see your posts. I want to see how happy you are.

Another INTJ.

I have tested as an ISTJ also - but I actually think INTJ is more accurate for me....

Heh, I was INTJ when I was tested many moons ago, ISTJ now

[TsPoet]

I think it would be interesting to get my SO to take this test on my behalf. Don't think this is me at all.


Introverted (I) 65.71% Extroverted (E) 34.29%

or maybe it is.
but not this

ISTP - "Engineer". Values freedom of action and following interests and impulses. Independent, concise in speech, master of tools.

Mabey it doesn't mean engineer in the way I think - Engineers are math oriented. I'm not even remotely concise in speech, I have good friends who usually cut me off and translate what I'm trying to say into a sentence.
