I'm not into psychology, but here's a nice Briggs-Myers personality test.

It nailed it at least for me. I'm ISFP.

It wasn't accurate for me. It didn't call me insane.

This tests can be annoying due to their seeming lack of mutual exclusivity in the responses.

muchadoaboutnothing · « **Reply #3 on:** Fri, 15 October 2010, 18:50:11 »

INTJ, distinct, moderate, moderate, slight (respectively).

Rajagra · « **Reply #4 on:** Sat, 16 October 2010, 03:26:49 »

ISTJ. It said I was only 38% Thinking. I'm insulted!

ch_123 · « **Reply #5 on:** Sat, 16 October 2010, 08:20:11 »

That told me absolutely nothing...

WhiteRice · « **Reply #6 on:** Sat, 16 October 2010, 08:22:32 »

ENTJ, but I knew that already. This is more of a conversation starter in the corporate business world.

quadibloc · « **Reply #7 on:** Sat, 16 October 2010, 11:07:25 »

I was also found to be ISTJ by the test.

NewbieOneKenobi · « **Reply #8 on:** Sat, 16 October 2010, 18:58:25 »

I got INTP now but I usually get INTJ.

I don't take personality tests.

I felt some trepidation before clicking on the link and then trying it. Fortunately, though, this one was a legitimate personality test.

There were no questions about whether or not I had sexual fantasies about L. Ron Hubbard's daughter.

LOL - After reading Dianetics I was curious so I went in to a Scientology building back in Boston and it was several hours before I could escape again after a bizarre ritual involving soda cans on the ends of a wire... Very scary indeed. All the windows were false - there wasn't any way to see in or out except right at the front door which only opens into a small vestibule with a table holding some hardcover Dianetics copies and cardboard promo stands. And they practically chased me as I walked away assuring them they would not, even on a cold day in hell, be getting me to spend a mere $300-$400 to take classes, which apparently I so desperately required. (Because, you see, despite being "cleared" by the soda can machine, according to their test, I was a ticking time bomb of hostility and a danger to myself and society...)

According to THIS test, though I am a (respectively) Moderate, Moderate , Moderate, Slightly expressed ENFP. (Exactly the same result as Personality profile on my FB page, which appears to be closely corroborated by my friends analysis of me as well.) I guess this one doesn't measure hostility bomb potential.

INTP, I belive a similar test have been posted before. I got the same result then.

frvrngn · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 18 October 2010, 15:16:48 »

INTP here. I got the same result in the past, but with a little different percentages.

Jack · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 18 October 2010, 17:42:26 »

I've tested consistently as INTP over the last several years.

vils · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 21 October 2010, 04:30:05 »

According to this interpretation of the 16 types most of us here should be INTP.

Voixdelion · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 21 October 2010, 05:37:18 »

Not entirely surprising that a certain personality "type" would be attracted to a forum dedicated to a relatively specific interest... I did notice that there is definitely a preponderance of "I" as opposed to "E" types in the thread already. I wonder, though, how that factor would be influenced if the questions were less skewed towards "in person" social activity since there is a new sort of interpersonal interaction arising with the internet. Much of my socialization is done online now, and I am a definite "E" type. (LOL at "Muckraker", too - I was just thinking about posting something that would fit that...)

clickclack · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 21 October 2010, 06:10:10 »

I was an INFJ apparently.
After reading a few descriptions of this particular type, I can't really say
it's wrong. Rather fascinating and somewhat spot on I suppose, sure beats concluding things through fortune cookies =)

k, back to keys I go....

mike · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 21 October 2010, 16:50:57 »

INTJ here.

Having done a bit of psychology a long time ago, I'm always surprised just how short these online tests are.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #19 on:** Tue, 02 November 2010, 08:16:59 »

I just took it. Another INTJ here.

ENFJ for me

according to this,

"ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity.".

I always knew it...

How do I reeeeeeach these kiiiiiiidz ?!?

hehe nice, can't say I did

That whole topic is not really new though. Can't point my finger on it where exactly I saw it but it must have been several movies where a teacher goes to a ghettoish school with ghettoish pupils and tries to turn stuff around for them.

Thought the whole cheating business was a twist in order to rip on belichick and created by the trey and matt. Didn't know it was also based on a movie.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #25 on:** Tue, 02 November 2010, 11:56:32 »

Haha no problem - a lot of students in the US tend to watch that film at one point or another (I know I did) so I figured a lot of folks overseas wouldn't necc. get the reference. Check out the film if you get a chance, it's actually worth watching. It's about a famous guy named Jaime Escalante (it's based on a true story).

pikapika · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 02 November 2010, 14:59:12 »

INFP here

I prefer the abstract/concrete and random/sequential type tests. I'm a hardcore Concrete-Random.

rippy I usually catch your cultural references, but I can't identify either of those men in that pic...

Oqsy · « **Reply #29 on:** Tue, 02 November 2010, 23:32:19 »

Yes, he was also "Tim", not to be confused with "Jim" from the BBC run of The Office.

As an aside, back around 2000 I recorded a song with vocals consisting entirely of Vogon poetry.

msiegel · « **Reply #30 on:** Wed, 03 November 2010, 00:46:21 »

INTJ as always

RoboKrikit · « **Reply #31 on:** Wed, 03 November 2010, 00:52:00 »

INTP for life.

...probably.

itlnstln · « **Reply #32 on:** Wed, 03 November 2010, 06:40:05 »

There seems to be a lot of INTJs on this 'board which is surprising since they usually only represent about 1% of the population. I wonder if a lot of members are in technical jobs (programmers, DBAs, etc.), thus driving their desire for keyboards.

I also fall in the lower right of ripster's graph. As much of a pinko as I tend to be, I really don't like people for the most part.

That's a logical assumption itlnstln.

INTP
So I should be a:
Natural Science (Geographer and anthropologist, so close)
Natural Science Education (ESL teacher count?)
Information System Specialist (I almost did this)
Computer Programming (I tried to do this, but I can't type or do math

)

But what does it all mean?

Voixdelion · « **Reply #36 on:** Wed, 03 November 2010, 12:41:09 »

I would imagine that this board has hit upon a particular slice of society where certain layers of personality trait or common experience has overlapped into a somewhat narrow subset. Not necessarily because of the interest in the keyboards, but also because of the depth of the examination of the keyboards is appealing also. Whereas some groups might tend to be a small slice of a wider variety of folk that it may draw its fans from, it seems that certain particulars of the interest here has drawn a subset of a subset of a subset. There are only at most 3 forums where I see such consistency in the posts as far as grammar and language being at a level which I now understand is far beyond average. I suspect too that there is also some similar scale in terms of intelligence here and that trait alone tends to create a large percentage of the Introverts. It would be interesting to compare some of the demographic stats and personality traits to see what else is common to have encouraged the joining of Geekhack. This forum often surprises me almost every time I visit. THAT is highly unusual in and of itself. It doesn't surprise me then that there is a disproportionate percentile of a "type" here that may be prevalent at GH and less so in society as a whole. I'd actually rather expect it to be that way.

It means exactly that. You don't make any sense, rip. I think you misread a lot of my posts.

I'm going to have to get myself officially diagnosed so I can confirm the test is wrong.
