What is your Myer Briggs personality type?

Asked by EzraDixon (177points) March 29th, 2016

If you’re unsure, you can take the survey here.

Has yours ever changed? Mine has varied a bit, though I think my most objective answers leave me as a Mediator (INFP—I forget if it’s -A/-T).

Female ENTP not too many us birds out there. I think I have only known one other ENTP a male, once upon a time.
I am very true to type, always have been, a comedienne at heart, verbose, highly creative, easy going, a knowledge and information junkie, a hedonist at heart, kind and altruistic.but don’t suffer fools gladly. haha
As the most introverted of the extroverts I am a perfect split between being social and on and then retreating into hermit mode and I don’t have a socially shy bone in my body, I can strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere, I’m pretty bold and fearless but also extremely easy to get along with. :-)

@EzraDixon Are you male or female? If male you’re a rare bird too as an INFP.
Intuitives rock, I do not have any intuitive friends at this time, they are all sensors. My old best friend was an ENFP we got along great.

Thank you for the link. I always wanted to take one of these. Here are my results:

Your personality type:
“The Architect” (INTJ-A)

Strength of individual traits: Introverted: 70%
Intuitive: 62%
Thinking: 56%
Judging: 70%
Assertive: 76%

Role: Analyst
Strategy: Confident Individualism

Can anyone more familiar with these tests translate a bit for me??

@cookieman NT’s are abstract and analytical, basing decisions on logic rather than emotion. Intuitives are keenly able to intuitively identify patterns and often make seemingly disparate connections that evade others. One thing leads to another and another and another. haha Your judging function does not mean you are judgmental, it means you prefer order and routine where perceivers like me, while organized do not enjoy routine and like to keep things flexible. There are a lot of resources to learn more about your functions.

@cookieman INTJ breakdown from the same site. A bit lengthy, but worth it IMO.

INFP. Hasn’t changed

Soubresaut's avatar

Used to get INFJ consistently, then I started to waver between INFJ and INFP, now I get INFP more often… the test you linked gave me INFP-T (64%I; 66%N; 68%F; 58% P; 71%T)

Mimishu1995's avatar

ENFP. Extraverted 71%, intuitive 85%, feeling 52%, propecting 76%, turbulent 75%. Hey, and I also have the same personality type as Quentin,Tarantino, my favorite director.

INTP—and it has never changed.

INTJ for whatever that is worth

canidmajor's avatar

A few years ago, six of us took the test 3 times, over the course of a year; January, June, and December. We each had results that varied every time.

@Coloma & @EzraDixon: Cool. Thank you!!

There was a question on here recently where people talked about their Myers Briggs results. If I can find it later, I’ll link it.

I’m IFSP. I’m not shy but I am “introverted” on the test. I was told that means where we get our energy from, and I definitely get mine from time alone and I like being alone, although I enjoy people, too. It depends on the circumstances. I am fine going someplace and talking to one person, instead of circulating and meeting many people.

I invariably test as an INTJ. The I and T are strong, the N and J are moderate.

I’ll do this test too, just for the shiggles.

Edit:

Oh, look, here’s my shocked face.

Coloma's avatar

My judging function is at 37% so I am more organized than a lot of perceiving types, just don’t expect me to get excited about repetitive task work. I constantly change the way I tackle my routines, gotta mix things up and my worst, possible career choice would be working in an assembly line. I’d blow my brains out the first day. lol

I do not like rigid schedules and micro managing at all, it wilts my creative flower and demotivates me. Probably why I have been self employed forever in areas that allow me a lot of space and freedom to do things my way.

ucme's avatar

Don’t do these shite tests, they’re like an ashtray on a motorbike, totally useless.

Coloma's avatar

@Seek I scored 75% on intuition, we are almost evenly matched.

Zaku's avatar

Wow, I almost agree with ucme on something!

Many of the questions don’t give the answer I would give. They need more boxes for things like:

* Why do you want to know that?
* What are you going to infer from whether or not “I enjoyed _Through The Looking Glass”?
* I refuse to answer, because I don’t think my answer would reflect who I am.
* Can I tell you more about what I think about that than A) B) C) D)?
* Bite me.

I think the paradigm is arrogant and inaccurate. I think it does tend to pigeon-hole me into the same bucket or two (or four – I think I have two factors that can flip), which is interesting, but it’s annoying being reduced to one (or even 4) of 16 buckets.

Seek's avatar

@Zaku – If you don’t like it, don’t use it.

I find my “assigned descriptor” accurate enough to be convenient. I am aware of the phenomenon of confirmation bias, and the descriptor holds up, at least one a level I find acceptable. If you don’t find it sufficiently accurate for convenience, feel free to not use it.

I choose not to identify myself by my astrological sign or numerology score, because I don’t find the generally accepted descriptors to be accurate enough.

Coloma's avatar

@Seek Agreed. Personality typing is not about defining the individual, it just showcases ones strengths and weaknesses and gives a guideline as to how one sees and processes their world as well as how their more dominant and inferior functions show up.

@Zaku Personality typing is not intended to box up people in tiny little airtight cubes, it is the exact opposite, a tool for better self understanding based on ones cognitive functions. A tool for deeper self awareness and insight into self and others. Take it or leave it.
I, personally, have found it very valuable in understanding myslef and those I know on a deeper level.

jca's avatar

Personality tests are also fun to take. If you don’t agree with the end result, just disregard it and discard it. Just roll with the punches. They don’t take that long to take.

ucme's avatar

@Zaku I have fairly standard views on most significant subjects, nowt you’d call extraordinary or controversial even, so for you to think it unusual enough to mention, is a little strange.
Unless of course you believe yourself to be somewhat askew :D

Coloma's avatar

Many therapists utilize personalty testing to glean insight into their clients driving forces as do many employers. Meyers-Briggs, Keirsey and other temperament sorters are therapeutic tools and work place tools designed to champion peoples strengths and weaknesses. As I said above, don’t put me on an assembly line, I’d go Postal. That’s a job for an ISTJ. lol

Zaku's avatar

Yes, I think the results are interesting for feedback, but they also seem sloppy in some ways.

@ucme Sorry if my observation came across as weird. It just struck me as funny, as to me it seems like there have been many questions over the last few months where I’m writing a response and notice your answer near mine that’s sort of the opposite. Mainly it’s things where you’re dismissing something woo woo and I’m going into detail on my speculations about it.

ucme's avatar

I love me a bit of woo woo
