I'm INFJ. What are you? [Archive] - Giant in the Playground Forums

It's been quite a while since we've had this thread, so let's do it again!
Jung Typology Test (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp)
Chances are you've done it before. Yay you. Amotis made the previous thread, IIRC, and we were lucky enough to have the nifty poll option then, but alas!
(Back in my day when we didn't have a poll option at all we kept text a posted list of what everyones types were, and we liked it! :smalltongue:)

I've taken it four times since the first thread. I'm INFJ, though I've come out as INFP before... I think if you merged certain aspects of each type into one, that'd be me.
Nifty site here (http://www.personalitypage.com/high-level.html) with decent explanations of each type.

Get testing!

lazy.

these tests are too long.

Edit: ISTP, that's a good thing?

Edit2:Quiet and reserved, interested in how and why things work. Excellent skills with mechanical things. Risk-takers who they live for the moment. Usually interested in and talented at extreme sports. Uncomplicated in their desires. Loyal to their peers and to their internal value systems, but not overly concerned with respecting laws and rules if they get in the way of getting something done. Detached and analytical, they excel at finding solutions to practical problems.

Looks like me, except for the sport part. Well, at least I'm better at sports that doesn't require team work.

Well, there's a coincidence. Not only am I also INFJ, but, again like you, I'm somewhat borderline on the last part, so we must be very similar indeed :) And looking at the detailed profiles in the second link, the INFJ one describes me very accurately; I didn't find a single thing it said that wasn't true.

EDIT: I took this test, which was one I hadn't done before, and I did indeed get INFJ again, with J being the weakest (22%, the others all over 50%). Nice to know you're among the rarest type on the planet, isn't it?

I am...

ISFP!

"Quiet, serious, sensitive and kind. Do not like conflict, and not likely to do things which may generate conflict. Loyal and faithful. Extremely well-developed senses, and aesthetic appreciation for beauty. Not interested in leading or controlling others. Flexible and open-minded. Likely to be original and creative. Enjoy the present moment."

That's quite a good description of me actually. Much better than last time I did it.

Independent, original, analytical, and determined. Have an exceptional ability to turn theories into solid plans of action. Highly value knowledge, competence, and structure.

Natural leaders, but will follow if they trust existing leaders

I concur, aside from the natural leader part. The only time I want to become the leader is if those around me are too incompetent... actually this fits totally.

ISFJ.

Yay for Jung! Did a long paper on him last year--lots of fun the whole way through. Which is saying something, considering my stance on the academic system. In my school, to go into Junior year from Sophomore year, you have to do something called a Gateway, which is centered around a theme and requires a "cover letter" about "who you are as a learner."

My theme was the gaping flaws in the academic system and an alternative style of teaching (more college-conservatory-like, with majors and the ability to choose classes). I wrote a page explaining why I didn't write a cover letter, tacked on a few blank pieces of paper for the illusion of a lengthy paper, and ripped it up in front of my teachers for the presentation.

One of my proudest moments. :smallwink:

Huh. Not the worst analysis of myself, I guess, although I don't think I am that introverted. And I don't rely on emotion only. I like thoughts and rational thinking quite a bit, too.

EDIT:
So the choices are Introvert/Extrovert, Feeling/Thinking, Perceiving/Judging... but what does the S, which serves as counterpoint to Intuitive, stand for?

Volug

2007-11-10, 03:52 PM

DANG! That is acurate!

INTJs are natural leaders, although they usually choose to remain in the background until they see a real need to take over the lead. When they are in leadership roles, they are quite effective, because they are able to objectively see the reality of a situation, and are adaptable enough to change things which aren't working well. They are the supreme strategists - always scanning available ideas and concepts and weighing them against their current strategy, to plan for every conceivable contingency.

That explains how I find it so easy to beat every Fire Emblem game I pick up... On Very Hard...

It also says that I will "Acomplish Great things". Well... Cool!:smallbiggrin:

"Logical, original, creative thinkers. Can become very excited about theories and ideas. Exceptionally capable and driven to turn theories into clear understandings. Highly value knowledge, competence and logic. Quiet and reserved, hard to get to know well. Individualistic, having no interest in leading or following others. "

Everything to do with social, yes. Everything to do with intellect, no. I come across in this test as a brilliant theoretical thinker. I'm in reality a moderately intelligent (by which I mean, by my guess, average) person who enjoys thinking about theory without actually understanding it or turning it into something understandable.

I don't know if this actually describes me or not... hm

edit:
The Champion Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in accomplishing their aims, and informative and expressive when relating with others. For Champions, nothing occurs which does not have some deep ethical significance, and this, coupled with their uncanny sense of the motivations of others, gives them a talent for seeing life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil. This type is found in only about 3 percent of the general population, but they have great influence because of their extraordinary impact on others. Champions are inclined to go everywhere and look into everything that has to do with the advance of good and the retreat of evil in the world. They can't bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives. And then they are eager to relate the stories they've uncovered, hoping to disclose the "truth" of people and issues, and to advocate causes. This strong drive to unveil current events can make them tireless in conversing with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out.

Champions consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life, although they can never quite shake the feeling that a part of themselves is split off, uninvolved in the experience. Thus, while they strive for emotional congruency, they often see themselves in some danger of losing touch with their real feelings, which Champions possess in a wide range and variety. In the same vein, Champions strive toward a kind of spontaneous personal authenticity, and this intention always to "be themselves" is usually communicated nonverbally to others, who find it quite attractive. All too often, however, Champions fall short in their efforts to be authentic, and they tend to heap coals of fire on themselves, berating themselves for the slightest self-conscious role-playing.

I value both highly, but I'm pretty sure I don't distinctly prefer intuition over thinking it through.

That must have been all those questions about planning ahead, which I indeed do rather rarely, but my decision making still doesn't rely on feelings alone.

I know I always come out as INTP. But I don't believe these tests to be quite as helpful as everyone thinks. Much of the results are pretty generic. I'm sure you could give an ESFJ an ENTJ result, and he/she would still say, "yeah, that applies to me a lot". It's not a very defining test.Doesn't that apply to any test of that kind? :smallamused:

INFJ, like I thought. I've taken this several times before, though as I recall, I didn't get the rarest type the first time. A lot of the questions of these kinds of tests are somewhat subjective for me and taken out of context, so it's hard for me to give a solid yes-or-no answer. The versions with a 1 to 5 scale are more accurate, I think.

Maybe I'm just irate that I'm an intellectual that brushes logic under the rug once in a while. It's almost... shameful? :smallredface:

Every one of these tests I either get INTJ or ENTJ, depending on how the questions are worded. On this one I got ENTJ.

Extroverted: 1 (not surprising, one off from introversion)
Intuitive: 100 (What can I say, it's always been this way :P)
Thinking: 1 (much lower than usual... or than I used to)
Judging: 11 (about right)

When I was in highschool it was almost 100% introversion, but I've become much more of a social butterfly since then :P

INTJ careers include a MD which is what I'm currently going to school for anyhow. ENTJ is lawyers, judges, executives, and the like. Maybe I'll just end up like my grandfather and be a doctor and a lawyer :P (Just kidding, just kidding, dear gods no more schooling >_<)

I don't think so, especially combined with the other link. I've read the profile for my type on both sites and it really does describe me very exactly -- and yes, I have read some of the others as well for comparison :)

Incidentally, I just got my girlfriend to take the test. She comes out as ENTP (and again, from looking at the profiles we've both agreed this is accurate) which happens to be one of the types listed as being my ideal partner :elan:

INTJ:

Introverted 67
Intuitive 25
Thinking 75
Judging 44

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.

Okay...So I took the test and landed INFJ as well, with the following details:

Introverted 78%
Intuitive 38%
Feeling 12%
Judging 44%

Ummm...That's 172% total, so I'm immediately questioning the validity of this test. :smallconfused:

Then I started reading some of the lengthy descriptions, and while some aspects were spot-on, others were so off base that I don't even know where to start. :smalleek:

The percentages range on their own meters. For instance, Introverted/Extroverted ranges from -100% to +100%, -100% meaning you answered every associated question as an introvert would, +100% meaning out answered every associated question as an extrovert would.

Your personal answers mean you are Introverted more than Extroverted 78% of the time, Intuitive more than Sensory 38% of the time, Feeling more than Thinking 12% of the time, and Judging more than Perceiving 44% of the time.

This is not to say you are never Extroverted, Sensory, Thinking, or Perceiving, merely that your "base disposition" is not those things.

From your scores, you are very Introverted, close to balanced between Intuition and Senses, extremely close to balanced between Feeling and Thinking, and are more Judgemental than Perceptive.

I almost didn't take the test again, since the past two times I've taken it (one of as recently as half a year ago) I've gotten INTP. This time I got ISTP, which surprised me a bit, especially since in the previous tests, the intuitive part was more established than perceiving/judging.

Of course, the test said it was only a 1% strength for sensing. It's still a change though. I wonder if it represents an actual change, or if it's the test used. Reading the descriptions, I still felt like INTP described me better, although there were some things in ISTP that sounded familiar too (of course, there's bound to be an overlap from the other three categories). Incidently, Intuitive and Sensing were always the pair that I had the most trouble understanding.

Perceiving is still only moderate, just like the last two tests- this is the one I always thought was the most subject to change. In addition, I seem to have gone from 100% introverted to 89%. A 10% drop doesn't mean much, but both times I took the test before I was 100%, so that stood out to me.

Thinking got 62%, and I can't remember if that's about the same as before, or a bit higher. I kinda suspect that I was "distinctly" intuitive and "moderately" thinking before, instead of

I'm gonna have to do this test again sometime in the future, when I'm less likely to be biased, to see if there's any established changes. I feel a bit off guard since I'm still used to thinking of myself as INTP. But people can and do change, and personality tests are never definitive.

ENTP

"Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are not only funny, but incisively accurate.

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.

ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. This can take the form of getting found out at "sharp practice"--ENTPs have been known to cut corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient -- or simply in the collapse of an over-ambitious juggling act. Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys"--physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. They tend to tire of these quickly, however, and move on to new ones.

ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they tend to regard as challenges, and tackle with determin- ation.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. However, they do tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.

In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones. Some appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who've only seen their professional side. ENTPs are also good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are. Aside from those two areas, ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience -- good, bad, or potential.

I got really interested in this stuff a while ago and did a lot of reading...

Several things: your type can't change. Your answers can change quite a bit depending on what you're trying to accomplish and your priorities. Such as if you're an engineer, chances are your F is going to be suppressed in favor of T. Heck, if I did this five years ago, I would have probably come out as an INTP. But one of the underlying theories is that you're born with your type and you either act naturally (which makes you easy to type) or for some reason or other you suppress it (which then confuses everyone and makes you think the test is bull).

Also, Isabelle Myers completely screwed up Jung's order of functions (as in Extroverted intuition - introverted feeling, etc) for introverts, which made a lot of introverted types seem very similar and very confusing (INTP/INTJ and INFP/INFJ). This is because she reversed the "vertedness" of functions (which is the important part, extroverted feeling (aka conscious manipulation of emotions of yourself and others) is very different from introverted feeling (morality, relationships between people)). Therefore, someone with for example base Introverted Feeling is supposedly an INFP, but the description says he's a P, even though the person is a J (if you go by the extrovert order of preference of functions).

That is why, my friends, I am a fan of Socionics, which is the Russian typology based on Jung and developed independently of Myers-Briggs/Keirsey stuff. It doesn't have this problem (which is the biggest one) and it also doesn't suffer from political correctness. Their type descriptions are much more accurate, and they researched how the types THINK, not what they DO.

A much better, more accurate and less politically correct description of ENFP from the Socionics site, traslated by me (although abridged) from Russian:

1. Extroverted intuition:
Has an amazing intuition in regards to people. Can tell a person's intentions and motivations from their body language, tone of voice, minor nuances in their speech and behaviour. A quick learner because he can find the root of the problem. Has a good imagination, creates imagery, stories on the spot. Likes interesting, unusual people (note: if an ENFP doesn't go out of his way to talk to a person, chances are he doesn't find them interesting). Can inspire people by making them compliments and talking about exciting possibilities. Offers multiple solutions to a problem. HATES WITH PASSION routine, repeating work because it doesn't let him use his imagination.

2. Introverted feeling:
Understands the logic of interpersonal relationships (note: any kind, not just romantic) better than almost everyone, especially understands conflicts in love and friendship and the reasons behind them. It's easier for him to maintain existing relationships than to mend broken ones. Really strongly reacts to negative reactions towards himself (aka tries very hard to make people like him, and if they don't, gets really upset). Charismatic and sociable. Can make friends with anyone, as long as that person is interesting to them (look above). Understands which distance to maintain, although doesn't necessarily keep it. Gives advice on how to get on a person's good side.

Extroverted sensing: (the order is different from MBTI)
In extreme circumstances can mobilize himself, take control and act decisively (note: only in extreme circumstances, prefers for someone else to take control in normal conditions). Responds to any attempts to pressure and force him to do something. Is extremely independent and will never force anyone to do anything. Often lacks willpower to go and do something they've been planning for a while. Isn't afraid to go up against overwhelming odds (my note: mainly because an ENFP can't perceive relative strength, when I was a kid I often got beat the crap out of because I didn't realize some kids are stronger, better fighters, etc). Unless pressured, hates any kind of conflict and tries to be the mediator between two fighting parties (although this belongs more in #2).

Introverted thinking (aka systems):
Can't work in a rigid system with many limitations. Hates when others control his relationships with people. Won't dig into the details of something, will only try to understand the general drift. Because of this often won't listen to everything a person has to say and it'll look like he didn't understand everything. Often ignores the side of the facts that contradicts his views. Has trouble doing detail-oriented, precise work like calculations, accounting or filling in forms. Tries hard only to avoid conflicts with people. My note: often doesn't understand the concept of social status (like hierarchy at work, chain of command or prestige associated with jobs like lawyer).

There's more (4 subconscious functions) but I'm just too lazy to translate it, and I doubt anyone will read what I wrote anyway.

Introverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving

Pretty accurate, although I thought I would be more thinking.

"As the engineering capabilities the Architects increase so does their desire to let others know about whatever has come of their engineering efforts. So they tend to take up an accomodating role in their social exchanges. On the other hand they have less and less desire, if they ever had any, to direct the activities of others. Only when forced to by circumstance do they allow themselves to take charge of activities, and they exit the role as soon as they can without injuring the enterprise.

The Architects' distant goal is always to rearrange the environment somehow, to shape, to construct, to devise, whether it be buildings, institutions, enterprises, or theories. They look upon the world -- natural and civil -- as little more than raw material to be reshaped according to their design, as a formless stone for their hammer and chisel."

Pretty accurate since I do in fact want more than anything to change the world.

I have taken these types of tests several times over the years... had a prof who was doing a study on how different personality types learn in different ways, so we all had to take the tests.

I have always been an ENFP. However, I do notice that things change as we get older and have different responsibilities in our lives, because now I am an ESFP. The Sensing, however, is in the moderate to slight zone, so both N and S apply to me. After reading the details on both, I see that, after getting married, and now having a child, I have let the Sensing side of me out more, as I have more responsibilities and different goals that I am reaching for. That being said,

SPs sometimes think and talk in more of a spider-web approach. Several of my ESFP friends jump from thought to thought in mid-sentence, touching here or there in a manner that's almost incoherent to the listener, but will eventually cover the waterfront by skipping on impulse from one piece of information to another. It's really quite fascinating.
is so totally me it's not even funny.

Being blessed with a stong gift of Empathy means that I am a 75% Feeling, and perhaps that is why I am wanting to be more involved in Counseling.

these are interesting quizzes to take, because they really let you get a look at yourself. Are they DEFINITIVE? no... too much of it depends on how you are feeling at the time of the testing, but if you do the test several times over a few months, and consistently get the same answers, then yes.. it gives you a pretty good idea of how others view you.

Remember, anything under ohh.. 25% means that you have many characteristics of BOTH sides... the explanations are drawn up for people who are strong in that particular letter... so reading both will give you a happy medium and likely you will find yourself agreeing with parts of each, but rejecting other parts. Being able to see both sides can be very helpful when interacting with different people, so just because you're not definitively one or the other, isn't a bad thing.. but something to be celebrated.

Glad you're aware of your pretentiousness. :smallwink:

... This thread is proof of that. What's your point?
People share personality traits regardless of what a test says. You can't completely classify them, but you can ID those traits, and who shares them.

VeisuItaTyhjyys

2007-11-11, 10:37 PM

It's psychology, a science that, every day, gets better and better at doing just that. Categorizing people.
I'd very much disagree it's gotten any better at this, really. The vastly increasing number of conditions in the DSM4 is rather proof that categorizing people is not working. Misdiagnosis, especially those by omission, are still quite frequent and also show the folly of trying to classify people, and its inefficacy; in classying someone as depressed, one often misses the other half of the bipolar disorder, but does not continue to look, believing a diagnosis has been found.

@Ego Slayer: My point is that it is silly to choose to identify only four traits from a person's personality that, as this very thread has shown, may grossly misrepresent a person's nature, finding who shares them is something of a folly. These often incorrect IDs of a set of four rather arbitrary traits designed to include a general personality overview within them show very little about whether two people are like one another or not. All it really serves to show is that standardized testing is not a very valid psychoanalytical tool.

If that shakes your faith in your choice school of psychoanalysis, I'm deeply sorry.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. I'll bet if you took the MMPI-2 it would be pretty spot on. Too bad they don't have that one online :P

ENTP, all the way. I was amazed how accurately it describes me, too. Especially:

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.

and

ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they tend to regard as challenges, and tackle with determination.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. However, they do tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.

INFJ - very strong I, weaker NFJ.

I'm not sure I fully agree with the personality descriptions - I don't have have a knack for communication, at least verbally - but it's a reasonable fit, and the opposite personality (ESTP) doesn't sound like me at all.

Hmmm, still INTJ. The introverted dropped about thrity points from last time.... A good thing I think.

Heh, I still get a kick out of that descriptor... "Mastermind."

I'd very much disagree it's gotten any better at this, really. The vastly increasing number of conditions in the DSM4 is rather proof that categorizing people is not working. Misdiagnosis, especially those by omission, are still quite frequent and also show the folly of trying to classify people, and its inefficacy; in classying someone as depressed, one often misses the other half of the bipolar disorder, but does not continue to look, believing a diagnosis has been found.

@Ego Slayer: My point is that it is silly to choose to identify only four traits from a person's personality that, as this very thread has shown, may grossly misrepresent a person's nature, finding who shares them is something of a folly. These often incorrect IDs of a set of four rather arbitrary traits designed to include a general personality overview within them show very little about whether two people are like one another or not. All it really serves to show is that standardized testing is not a very valid psychoanalytical tool.

The typeology test doesn't just fit you into a category, it provides you with the level at which you do so. A person is never fully extroverted or introverted, for example. Its not like a horoscope (sorry for making the connection).

INFJ,

Numbers subject to change, really... some of those questions could go either way, I guess.

In the 15-20 times I've taken this test, I've always, always, always come up as ENFP (http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html). No one who knows me is shocked in the slightest.

Highlights and lowlights particularly pertinent to me:

ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.

Because ENFPs live in the world of exciting possibilities, the details of everyday life are seen as trivial drudgery. They place no importance on detailed, maintenance-type tasks, and will frequently remain oblivous to these types of concerns. When they do have to perform these tasks, they do not enjoy themselves. This is a challenging area of life for most ENFPs, and can be frustrating for ENFP's family members.

INTJ, all around 65ish.

Independent, original, analytical, and determined. Have an exceptional ability to turn theories into solid plans of action. Highly value knowledge, competence, and structure. Driven to derive meaning from their visions. Long-range thinkers. Have very high standards for their performance, and the performance of others. Natural leaders, but will follow if they trust existing leaders.
That sounds like me, especially the bits about being determined and having high standards- I have a very low tolerance for stupidity.

Wow. It classified me perfectly. ESFP (Performer).

Long Description:

Besides being concrete in speech and utilitarian in reaching their goals, the Performer Artisans are collaborative and expressive in their social interactions. Thus, while Performers are usually extreme in their expressiveness and sociability, observably the most expressive of all the types, they are not comfortable telling others what to do, preferring to offer information rather than to issue orders.

Demonstrating or performing is putting on a show to entertain others, and Performers, whether on the job, with friends, or in their families, are the natural performers among the types, people for whom it can truly be said "all the world's a stage." Playful and fun-loving, the Performer' primary social interest lies in stimulating those around them, arousing their senses and their pleasureful emotions-charming them, in a sense, to cast off their concerns and "lighten up." Representing about ten per cent of the general population, Performers radiate warmth and optimism, and are able to lift others' spirits with their contagious laughter and their irrepressible joy of living.

It is well that Performers are plentiful, something over ten per cent of the population, because they bring joy to so many of us. They love the excitement of playing to an audience, and they try to generate a sense of "showtime" wherever they are. Performers are not comfortable being alone most of the time, and seek the company of others whenever possible -- which they usually find, for they make wonderful playmates. Lively, witty conversationalists, Performers always seem to know the latest jokes and stories, and are quick with wisecracks and wordplay -- nothing is so serious or sacred that it can't be made fun of. Performers also like to live in the fast lane of society, and seem up on latest fads of dress, food, drink, and entertainment, the chic new fashion, the "in" nightclub, the "hot" new musical group. Energetic and uninhibited, Performers create a mood of "eat, drink, and be merry" wherever they go, and life around them can have a continual party-like atmosphere.

Seriously, it's like they know me.

INFJ! Sweet, I'm the late Obi Wan Kenobi and I did not know it (or I did? :smallbiggrin: )

As a broad description it fits. I think some people find the archetypes ill fitting because they fail to consider one factor. The test does not ask you why, for example, you'd pick the side of a room rather than the center. Perhaps you have an unfavorable perception of your body image, or you feel threatened by not having a solid slab of concrete behind you, and that could be for a number of reasons: from living in a difficult neighborhood without a friendly spiderman or from being an ex shock trooper in Cambodia, who knows? You could get a more accurate and descriptive profile, in a narrative form, if you had a chance to talk to a profiler. That was just an internet test, so it was accurate enough (to me, at least)

I've taken this test loads of times too, but not for quite a while....and I'm quite surprised that my results have changed quite heavily.

Your Type is
ENTJ
Extraverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
Strength of the preferences %
22 62 25 33

You are:
*slightly expressed extravert
*distinctively expressed intuitive personality
*moderately expressed thinking personality
*moderately expressed judging personality

I'm very very surprised. On every single one of these I've ever taken, I've come out as Introverted and Sensing, which has now switched around, the N/S one especially. I have no idea what's caused this, I don't feel or act any different to when I last took the test.

Could finishing uni and going into work have done so much to change my type?

hmm weird.Not at all. You answered the S & F questions identically the second time. And how ever many questions you answered the first time that skewed you towards I & J, you reversed the ratio on the second test.

It also suggests that all four axes have an equal number of defining questions. This too should not be a surprise.

I just got an ENFJ for the first time in my life. Normally I have been an ENTP. But it did say I was only slightly Feeling and Judging.

However it is interesting that for the 1st time, my chosen career path was given as good careers for this personality type.

Instead of it always telling me to go start a business of become a cop like it did for me as an ENTP.

Yeah I bet I'm every bit as ENTP as I ever was, so I'll just forgo the test bit.

Isn't this where me and Thes get to recruit our minions from?

Looks like I have gone soft on ya, Charity me ol' mate. Does that mean I can still co-rule with you? You can be bad cop, I'll be the good one. :smallwink:
