What's your personality type

GlennCase · Post by **GlennCase** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 10:56 am

<a href="http://www.kisa.ca/personality/">Here's a Personality Test</a>

My results showed my personality type to be INTP.

Introverted (I) 57% Extraverted (E) 43%
Intuitive (N) 73% Sensing (S) 27%
Thinking (T) 65% Feeling (F) 35%
Perceiving (P) 73% Judging (J) 27%

Some of what they say about INTP's: "INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.

Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.

INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to most anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves."

The INTP page description is <a href="http://typelogic.com/intp.html">here.</a>

Feel free to post your results in this thread, if you like.

ROCK!

i'm also an INTP.

Introverted (I) 100% Extraverted (E) 0%
Intuitive (N) 59% Sensing (S) 41%
Thinking (T) 50% Feeling (F) 50%
Perceiving (P) 64% Judging (J) 36%

yeah, i'm pretty much the most introverted person in the world.

i know i've taken one of these tests before and received different results. none of them are perfect or definitive. they're just a good platform for self-reflection.

truths from the INTP description about me...

"INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them."

"A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves."

"Games NTs seem to especially enjoy include...word games of all sorts. (I have an ENTP friend that loves Boggle and its variations. We've been known to sit in public places and pick a word off a menu or mayonnaise jar to see who can make the most words from its letters on a napkin in two minutes.)" i am hopelessly addicted to and obsessed with this game.

Introverted (I) 82% Extraverted (E) 18%
Intuitive (N) 59% Sensing (S) 41%
Feeling (F) 90% Thinking (T) 10%
Judging (J) 64% Perceiving (P) 36%

Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.

INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ.

ENFJ, but the J vs. P is 50/50 (and the E vs. I is 56/44). N 73, F 80%.

Looking at it I seem more like an ENFP more than an ENFJ. Maybe I deceived myself in some of the questions.

ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Som etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped.

ENFPs like to tell funny stories, especially about their friends.

Very interesting test/poll, Glenn!

EDIT: How accurate is everyone finding the results to be?

Bjam · Post by **Bjam** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 1:33 pm

Mine's 50/50. I'm pretty idealistic and caring and have very few 'close' friends, which it says I should be. And the fact that I'm an artist and a musician going into nursing seems to be pretty spot on for what I 'should' be doing. Not sure how activisty I am, and while poetic justice is lovely, I can't do it. So yeah, kinda and kinda not.

I enjoy the same personality type of George W. Bush and Eeyore. Super.

Yeah, generally on these tests I am either INTP or INFP and as you can see here I am 50%/50% split on it. So that's pretty accurate based on previous tests

I just don't have the patience to fill this one out, but I've taken them before. I took one of these back in grade 9, and I was an ISTJ, and I was supposed to be an accountant or a mortician. I took one this year, and I was supposed to be a skydiver or personal masseuse, so maybe my personality would be different too.

This is some good stuff:

Possible Career Paths for the INTP:
# Computer Programmers, Systems Analysts, Computer Animation and Computer Specialists

Possible Career Paths for the INFP:
# Musicians

Looks like I've got that one worked out

INTPs enjoy games, formal or impromptu, which coax analogies, patterns and theories from the unseen into spontaneous expression in a way that defies their own comprehension.

This is so spot-on and relates to my interest in artificial intelligence, cognition, etc. and the use of Heuristics Inc. as a name. Awesome.
