The way I read it, it's not a 50/50 split, it's a 3/2 ratio between thinking and feeling (3 being 50% more than 2, hence the 50% figure). Perhaps I read it wrong though...?

I took the test a few years ago.  It was 40 questions, 10 for each aspect.  I scored exactly half and half for the first three categories and leaned toward J vs. P by 1 question.  So I guess I don't sway particularly hard to one personality type in particular.

That said, we read through the descriptions, and INTJ seemed like the best fit for me.  So I picked that one.

I'm INTJ.

Hello fellow INTP,

Wikipedia says 1% to 5% of people are INTP (making it one of the rarest types), including Albert Einstein. I find this quote below from "Portrait of an INTP" (http://www.personalitypage.com/INTP.html) entirely true about myself:
Quote
INTPs do not like to lead or control people. They're very tolerant and flexible in most situations, unless one of their firmly held beliefs has been violated or challenged, in which case they may take a very rigid stance. The INTP is likely to be very shy when it comes to meeting new people. On the other hand, the INTP is very self-confident and gregarious around people they know well, or when discussing theories which they fully understand.

Lol here are some of my favorite quotes from my "Portrait of an INFJ":

In the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be creative and somewhat independent. They have a natural affinity for art.

INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities.

Life is not necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of feeling and personal achievement.

Life ain't easy LOLOL.

INTP; intp.org (http://intp.org/intprofile.html) has a great description.

I've been reading through that link and found something interesting...Certainly explains the appeal INTPs have or computer keyboards.

Quote
Because the present is inextricably linked to a sense of the past, INTPs tend to hoard items which help solidify the connection to the past. They find it very difficult to let go of anything they have collected (or indeed created) and which may have a nostalgic meaning...Hence, INTPs are collectors, but they are collectors for whom the objects themselves are only important in so far as they evoke a connection to past events, in so far as they yield a nostalgic mood. The curious problem with any collection of an INTP is that he typically fails to enjoy it in the here and now. Items are stored away so that they can evoke this time at some point in the future, but such a point often never occurs.

Quote
The only area in which an INTP will carry out his own ideas to completion is in his personal interest world, where other people are not involved. For this reason, INTPs are fascinated by computer technology as well as the Internet which gives him a voice that he would not otherwise have. Many of the most dedicated Computer Freaks are INTPs. Ultimately, INTPs tend to trust machines more than they trust people and may feel particularly at home in the realm of cybernetics.

Why no ENFP! :(

Now I know why I dread to learn or do soldering myself :p

Quote
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.

Do I really do this? :cool:

INFJs also have a deep concern for quality. As will be elaborated later in this profile, they long to see their ideals (Ni) perfectly manifested in physical reality (Se). This need for quality underlies many common INFJ characteristics.

Though, to be honest, I don't put as much stock in these things at all. They may be fine for non self-actualizing people, but for a self-actualizing individual, there really is no personality type. It's just their own, self-made one.

Unless they're temporal paradoxes.

I think the percentages need to be posted.

Saying you're whatever type doesn't really mean all that much since Meyer's Briggs is actually more about how often you tend to use I vs E, N vs S, T vs F, P vs J and establishing your primary, secondary etc Jungian functional preference.
For ENTJ's it would be
Dominant: ET
Auxiliary: IN
Tertiary: ES
Inferior: IF

I agree that it's very useful for understanding a vast majority of people. That said, most people are not self-actualizing (aristotole would not consider them "people" at all). the test starts to break down for some people. (level 4-5 on positive disintegration, or an otherwise self-actualizing individual). Unfortunately such people are so uncommon, it's hard to find enough to study.

I find this interesting... much in the way tarot is interesting. It can be amazingly accurate in a broad and general sense... and at the same time utter bull****. In a broad general way, I mostly agree with the personality traits of my type and how they shape behavior patterns I tend to express in my life. But at the same time it's nonsensical to put a lot stock in such things and let it define you.

I know they do some sort of personality test, don't think it's this particular one, but one similar to it. And yes, I can see where it would be useful to assess one's compatibility within a particular department...

My understanding is that ones personality type doesn't change, it's an abstraction of thought processes (or a set of patterns in brain activity, if Nardi is right). It can develop a bit though. One can learn to fake behavior of some other type or can be forced to do so too, although it isn't recognized as healthy (I don't really understand the consequences though). At last but not least, personality type doesn't describe the whole psyche.

I have definitely noticed that cannabis (at least for me) numbs my emotions when used regularly, and now that I have stopped they have become much closer to the surface. Which in the case of this test, can show a major difference in personality (which is another reason why  this test kinda sucks).

And the whole "fake behavior" or "forced personality" thing: majorly accurate in my case. It's so bad for me that I almost have a unique personality for pretty much every one of my friends. I can agree, it's not healthy, but it's how my introverted mind copes with social situations.

I do not know you outside of the forums, so obviously take this with a bucket of salt - but here's my take on this, as I tend to adjust my personality to the people I'm talking to as well (I'm assuming that what you said is similar to my situation).  Okay, disclaimer done.

I see it as having the ability to relate to and converse easily with many different people easily.  I don't see it as a crutch or a need to "fit in" and copy what the other person does.  I've always considered it a sort of social skill, because some people either can't read a situation or just choose to act the same regardless of changing circumstances.  I find that having the ability to adapt (while still being genuine and happy with yourself and how you're acting) is helpful, and not a drawback or a character flaw.  (not intending for this to sound arrogant or anything like that, but I have thought about this before and this is the best interpretation I've come up with for my own situation)

Again, maybe we're talking totally different situations here.  But if you haven't thought of it this way, maybe give it some consideration.
Title: Re: Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type
Post by: Computer-Lab in Basement on Thu, 10 July 2014, 07:15:12
I have considered that perspective, but I still feel like, in my situation, it's more of a curse than an ability.

Reason I say that is because, now I truly don't know which personality is actually mine; it changes so frequently. It's as if the only time I can truly be myself is when I'm alone or with immediate family, which when trying to build outside relationships, is very much a bad thing.

A necro reply, yay!
MBTI isn't a horoscope. Actually, it appears to correspond quite well to patterns in brain activity. That's where the interesting part happens anyway.
I agree that it's very useful for understanding a vast majority of people. That said, most people are not self-actualizing (aristotole would not consider them "people" at all). the test starts to break down for some people. (level 4-5 on positive disintegration, or an otherwise self-actualizing individual). Unfortunately such people are so uncommon, it's hard to find enough to study.
To me, it looks like there's an obvious link between certain aspects of self-actualization (as defined by Maslow or Dąbrowski) and traits of certain types. Would love to see a study on the subject.

TBH, I'm fairly skeptical about the theory of positive disintegration; it has even less recognition than personality typing in the scientific community. Not enough data to take it for granted. I take even personality type with a grain of salt, until there's a viable quantitative neuroscientific study—with a viable method to determine ones type, instead of taking tests of quality all over the place... and tests are still better than "the art of speedreading people", which doesn't work at all in too many cases IME.

Well, that's because those tests suck. I usually test as INTJ, although it has nothing to do with reality—I'm a walking INTP stereotype (described here (http://intp.org/intprofile.html) and there (http://oddlydevelopedtypes.com/content/secret-lives-intps)).

...or maybe it's because there's one significant flaw in MBTI, it cuts the curve in the middle, despite the fact that population is best described by something closer to the bell curve, not camel bumps (explanation (http://www.celebritytypes.com/blog/2014/02/mbti-for-skeptics/)).

YOU CANT COMPARTMENTALIZE ME!!! I AM AN UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE!!

"an" doesn't need to go in front of every vowel, just the ones that sound like vowels...

With my ****ty pronunciation it does.

If you pronounce 'unique' like a Frenchman, then you are totally right to precede it with 'an'.  ;)

And the whole "fake behavior" or "forced personality" thing: majorly accurate in my case. It's so bad for me that I almost have a unique personality for pretty much every one of my friends. I can agree, it's not healthy, but it's how my introverted mind copes with social situations.

I do not know you outside of the forums, so obviously take this with a bucket of salt - but here's my take on this, as I tend to adjust my personality to the people I'm talking to as well
i guess many people do, including me. that is neither hard nor bothersome. what bothers me all the time is the necessity to adapt the conversation to the intellectual level of the people i'm talking to. to choose simpler words, to make less subtle jokes. maybe to repeat something several times. eww.

I hope ya'll understand that a large part of Personality is adaptive.. 

Which means that just because you scored one way AT THIS POINT in your life, Living Where you are now,   DOES NOT predispose you to be that way forever..

Humans are highly plastic, both mentally and physically..

So.. keep that in mind, and never attempt to justify your choices by these artificial conceptions.

Yeah, indeed. I would even go as far as to say it could change more than you think within a matter of days or hours, given a change in mood and circumstances. Also the general idea that you can bracket the entire human population into sixteen (is it sixteen? That's a guess because I can't be bothered to work it out) types of personality is naive and simplistic.

I think part of the reason people identify so readily with whatever result they've gotten from this type of quiz is because - much like horoscopes - everyone can identify with practically all the results to some extent, and since all the personality types can be seen as complimentary in some way, or suggest some sort of shared-ground with noteworthy people, there's a subconscious desire to identify with the result for purposes of self-affirmation. It's called the Forer effect.

That's Big Five and it's supposed to work like that. It's also widely used by psychologists.

The codes are indeed a bit confusing. I like vectors better... Big Five and MBTI do correlate in a way.

That's the case with any tool used in corporate environment or self-help books. Including Big Five. Fortunately, Jung's Psychological Types aren't written like that.

Well they appear to work exactly like that to me. The MBTI personality types read as though though virtually anyone could read and identify with every single one of them. The fact all the websites hosting the MBTI questionnaire give you your result a long with a list of celebrities you supposedly share type with, like Einstein or whatever, just triggers the needy part of people's subconscious to perpetuate the belief that it's correct.

I don't disagree that the fancy websites (and online tests) are misleading at best. Even MBTI itself is difficult to interpret correctly without basic understanding of Jung's work IMHO.

 All of Psychology is very imprecise because it attempts to cover extremely complicated interactions all at once..

So it's big on world theories,  but lacking on fundamentals..
