MBTI Personality Types

[Maedalaane]

I used to be a real big MBTI junkie. Was a frequent forum goer for a popular psychology forum and all that. I figured out the system of MBTI and was able to type myself without a test. Any sort of test has a mild-to-large margin of error and they always typed me wrong, usually as INFP. But, I am in fact ISFP. Interestingly, tests now peg me as ENTJ which is kinda-sorta right in actuality. ENTJ shares all the cognitive functions of ISFP, just reversed. For a test to say this, then, it implicates I have decently developed my auxiliary, tertiary, and inferior functions.

MBTI was a good tool to start me on the path to really figuring myself out, but even if you do figure the system out for yourself rather than take faulty tests, it's definitely not an end-all be-all tool. While it may be true that Humans fall into 16 archetypes, there is way more nuance involved.

I flip between ISTP and INTJ. We've done the tests at work at various parts of my so-far 10-year career.

There are some problems with it. The funny thing about all these psych tests is that whatever you get, they make you sound special.

I don't like rules for the sake of rules, think a lot of things don't make sense should be ignored, but I'm not quite as theoretically-minded as most INTJ.

The daredevil part of ISTP may or may not be true  ^-^

INTJ
Introvert(69%)  iNtuitive(22%)  Thinking(78%)  Judging(12%)
You have distinct preference of Introversion over Extraversion (69%)
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (22%)
You have strong preference of Thinking over Feeling (78%)
You have slight preference of Judging over Perceiving (12%)

I've always ended up INTJ. 😛

[AmberStarfire]

The previous times I've taken MBTI tests I've got INTP. This time I got INTJ, but J was only by 1%.

INTJ
Introvert(31%)  iNtuitive(31%)  Thinking(9%)  Judging(1%)

    You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (31%)
    You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (31%)
    You have slight preference of Thinking over Feeling (9%)
    You have marginal or no preference of Judging over Perceiving (1%)

I guess maybe I'm just very close to midway between the two.

[kasumine]

ISFP here, though it is very very close to INFP (and I've gotten INFP a lot in previous attempts at the test).

• Introvert (81%)
• Sensing (3%)
• Feeling (66%)
• Perceiving(56%)

I'm surprised to see a LOT of INTJs represented here! Or, at the same time, I probably don't know enough about INTJ. But you guys have encouraged me to research this!

A fun site to go to and look at descriptions is here! It gives a title to each type and explains them a bit. Looking at it now, it seems that INTJ is titled the "Architect" for their ability to develop strategies. Sounds a lot like a writer!

For me, I bounce between the "Adventurer" (ISFP) and the "Mediator" (INFP). Both types mention dreams of being an artist or an author, so it's quite funny that I'm here now. S/O to my fellow IxFPs~!

[CuriousVagrant]

I scored INTP, though most of my decisions change often, based on the context of each given situation, so tests like this are... not wrong, so much as they are too general.

[solkar]

INTP

Introvert(16%)  iNtuitive(62%)  Thinking(34%)  Perceiving(47%)

    You have slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion (16%)
    You have distinct preference of Intuition over Sensing (62%)
    You have moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (34%)
    You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (47%)

[JanesAddiction]

I've done similar tests before and INTP seems to be the consensus. A few if the questions kinda felt off. Like I don't read books so yeah I'd rather go to a party. But I guess that's the pitfalls of these kinds of tests... Still the result seems accurate:-)

INTP
Introvert(41%)  iNtuitive(31%)  Thinking(12%)  Perceiving(12%)

[RampantDesires]

INFJ

*gives Cassie the highest of fives*

[AnaisdeLuxxx]

I'm an INFP! All candycanes and unicorns and dark stormy, lightning-streaked nights.

Before I started using the MBTI, I mostly created characters who were just like me. So I find it a useful tool for trying to imagine the interior world of someone very different. <3

[Remiel]

INTJ here.  Someone should make this into a poll, so we can see what % of Elliquiyans fall under each type.

[StoryDaddy]

ENTP here.... extroverts represent?!?!?!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that so many introverts are lingering in the realms of the interwebs.... but I am kinda surprised. Learning so much here!

[Velaris]

INTJ..
Introvert(3%)  iNtuitive(9%)  Thinking(22%)  Judging(3%)
You have marginal or no preference of Introversion over Extraversion (3%)
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (9%)
You have slight preference of Thinking over Feeling (22%)
You have marginal or no preference of Judging over Perceiving (3%)

[deathspell]

Wow, lots of INTJs in the house.


Here's mine  >:)
INTP
Introvert(22%)  iNtuitive(19%)  Thinking(41%)  Perceiving(9%)
You have slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion (22%)
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (19%)
You have moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (41%)
You have slight preference of Perceiving over Judging (9%)

Hellooooo INTPs :)

[Kaspider]

INFJ here. Where are the INFJ rare gems? *looks*

[Tilt]

Oh boy, so I have FEELINGS about this test.

I'll preface them by saying that I test as an INFP. I've tested INFP without fail for years. I'm really familiar with this test and love putting my characters through it because it's an excellent tool for character creation.

But...

The problem with this test is it doesn't tell you what your personality is. The way it's set up, that's not possible. Even ignoring that this was created by people who weren't scientists or experts, based on an old theory no one sees as valid anymore, there's still a really big conceptual flaw. It's all self-reported.

The thing is, people aren't very good at recognizing how they'll act in fictional scenarios. That's why so many people think that if there's a shooting or fire, they'll be the heroes leading everyone out or saving the day. A lot of people sincerely believe that's how they'll react, but most people just don't.

The same as many people think that they can be the life of the party. Or, conversely, that they'll hole themselves up in a corner, when they may fit right in.

Just about every question in this test requires a high degree of introspection to answer accurately.

In most cases, the personality you get isn't really who you are. It's who you think you are. The MBTI test really just quantifies your own perception of self.

[Ariamella]

A lot of people say MBTI is absolutely meaningless, mostly because the results are self reported, and there's no way of getting objective answers unless you unknowingly had someone observing every moment of your life. Which is really creepy. I think a lot of people report what they want to be perceived as, rather than what they actually are. Everyone wants to be the "rarest" kind if personality, and even just skimming through these results, I see a lot of INFJ, ISTP, ISTJ, etc. Whether they're actually true or not is another matter.

It's also utterly ridiculous to assume people can be defined and fit into 16 types, as if our attitudes and life perceptions aren't fluid and changing.

That all being said, I test these days as ENFJ. When I was younger it was ESTP.

Here's an MBTI meme for y'all:

[Lovely Complex]

I am an INFP-T to the nines and "The Mediator" is the personality type

Introverted: 73%
Intuitive: 57 %
Feeling: 57%
Prospecting: 61%
Turbulent: 79%

[Lyron]

INFP - Introverted 100% and Feeling 38%. I can't remember the percentages of the other two, but they were less than 20%.

INFJ

Introvert - 69%
Intuitive - 12%
Feeling - 19%
Judging - 1%

I decided to take another test because I was curious how greatly the results would differ.

INFP

Introvert - 90%
Intuitive - 52%
Feeling - 64%
Prospecting - 58%

Everyone wants to be the "rarest" kind if personality, and even just skimming through these results, I see a lot of INFJ, ISTP, ISTJ, etc.

A site like E is probably more likely to attract introverts than extroverts. While it very well could be that the estimated demographics of the personality types are inaccurate, E is not likely parallel with the real world.

[Sebile]

INFJ(-T) both times, though different percentages with each test. These were from the last one:

Introvert - 71%
Intuitive - 62%
Feeling - 57%
Judging - 64%
Turbulent - 53%

[Nico]

ENFJ
Extravert(66%)  iNtuitive(12%)  Feeling(6%)  Judging(13%)
You have distinct preference of Extraversion over Introversion (66%)
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%)
You have slight preference of Feeling over Thinking (6%)
You have slight preference of Judging over Perceiving (13%)

This is, surprisingly so, rather accurate. :-)

[savvi]

I'm ENFP! It's been a while since I've taken the test though so I don't remember the percentages. My friend is super into meyers-briggs and can figure out people's types within a 30 minute conversation with scary accuracy. She got me within like 10 minutes before even I knew. I'm not entirely sure what that says about me.

[cutesii]

Hello there! I was recommended this thread. I love all things MBTI, especially the memes. I am an INFJ. I have been into the fascination of personality types for about 2 years now. Nice to meet you guys!  :-)
