I took the test and my letters were INTP:
Quote:

Logical, original, creative thinkers. Can become very excited about theories and ideas. Exceptionally capable and driven to turn theories into clear understandings. Highly value knowledge, competence and logic. Quiet and reserved, hard to get to know well. Individualistic, having no interest in leading or following others.
I'm shocked, this fits me perfectly. I've taken these tests before, but they are normally far off on all but two components of my personality.

I'm the same. INTP - I believe it's accurate too, very accurate.

I would do well in a relationship with either of you, apparently. It seems that ESFJ and INTP are exact opposites.

James 02-29-2012 10:30 AM

I am INFJ.
This is scary accurate, mindf*ck.

The more times you take the test and come out with the same result, the more it solidifies that you fit the bill for that type.

Phantom Limb 02-29-2012 11:50 AM

I'm an ISFJ

Quiet, kind, and conscientious. Can be depended on to follow through. Usually puts the needs of others above their own needs. Stable and practical, they value security and traditions. Well-developed sense of space and function. Rich inner world of observations about people. Extremely perceptive of other's feelings. Interested in serving others.

I guess this fits me pretty well, though sometimes i'm just like "**** people, they can suck a dick!" which doesn't quite fit in.

LoathsomePete 02-29-2012 12:18 PM

I don't know how much faith I put into the Briggs-Myer test as I've made a habit of taking it once every year for the last 3-years now and every year I get assigned a different personality. 2009 I was an ESTJ, 2010 it was INTJ which was flattering but I knew it was a little off. 2011 I actually forgot to do it, so consider this an act of penance on my part, but I did 3 different tests and got ISTJ - The Examiner.

Here's just a little blurb of what it says about that personality type.

Quote:

ISTJs are quiet and reserved individuals who are interested in security and peaceful living. They have a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends them a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in their approach, they can generally succeed at any task which they undertake.

ISTJs are very loyal, faithful, and dependable. They place great importance on honesty and integrity. They are "good citizens" who can be depended on to do the right thing for their families and communities. While they generally take things very seriously, they also usually have an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.

I won't quote the entire piece, but I do definitely feel this personality type is more on the mark than the others. I really do have this ridiculous sense of duty, like I need to be doing something regardless of whether or not people actually come out and say it, and I've been known to forgo things that would have made me happy in order to appease someone else because it clicked with that sense of duty. It's a little annoying in some regards, but as a result I do generally feel like I have a pretty clean conscious, despite all the bad shit I have done in my life.

Quote:

The ISTJ is not naturally in tune with their own feelings and the feelings of others. They may have difficulty picking up on emotional needs immediately, as they are presented. Being perfectionists themselves, they have a tendency to take other people's efforts for granted, like they take their own efforts for granted. They need to remember to pat people on the back once in a while.

ISTJs are likely to be uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others. However, their strong sense of duty and the ability to see what needs to be done in any situation usually allows them to overcome their natural reservations, and they are usually quite supporting and caring individuals with the people that they love. Once the ISTJ realizes the emotional needs of those who are close to them, they put forth effort to meet those needs.
I am definitely guilty of these, especially taking the efforts of other people for granted. This shows up more in school when I'm assigned to a horrible group project and I get frustrated with the work ethic of the students I'm assigned with. I use to think this was because I always got assigned into the worst possible groups, but last semester I was assigned to a group of students I would have considered smart, but they left me in a constant state of frustration.

As for expressing emotion, the only emotions I have no trouble expressing are more often negative ones like anger, frustration, and disappointment. This has lead me to burning a lot of bridges and losing a lot of friendships over the years, as some people are just not as emotionally hardened and jaded as me to let such remarks penetrate.

Quote:

Sexually, the ISTJ is likely to approach intimacy from a physical perspective, rather than as a means of expressing love and affection. They usually have a problem expressing their deepest feelings, even though they may be very strongly felt. They will expect sex on a relatively scheduled basis, and are likely to honor traditions regarding gender role-playing. Male ISTJs will assert their perspective on their partners, while female ISTJs will tend to follow along with what their male counterparts want (although they will be uncomfortable with anything extremely out of the traditional norm).
This definitely rings true and may explain why I prefer one night stands to relationships. It could be I'm just reading into things too much, but as I am my own favourite subject, I can't help but dedicate a little too much time to these things.

Odyshape 03-01-2012 01:12 AM

I got an INTP but I don't really know if the test was really right for me. I was very very very in the middle for 2 of the 4 questions and it was only a slight leaning towards one of the answers so the explanation wasn't as relevant to my personality as I thought it would be.

Farfisa 03-01-2012 01:23 AM

I'm in between INFP and ENFP. I'm not too quick thinking, but I'm laid back (INFP). I also have pretty bad social skills (ENFP) but I enjoy the company of other people.

I'm so confused.

I did one that came up ISFP:
ISFP
Quiet, serious, sensitive and kind. Do not like conflict, and not likely to do things which may generate conflict. Loyal and faithful. Extremely well-developed senses, and aesthetic appreciation for beauty. Not interested in leading or controlling others. Flexible and open-minded. Likely to be original and creative. Enjoy the present moment.


And another came up INTP:
INTPs are logical, individualistic, reserved, and very curious individuals. They focus on ideas, theories and the explanation of how things work. They are especially adept at discussions and debate. They have the ability to focus intently on a subject. They appreciate and respect intelligence in others.

I'm not sure how that happened. :/ I feel like the first one is probably more accurate though.

PoorOldPo 03-04-2012 06:46 AM

I am ISTP, 4-6% of the population.

I – Introversion preferred to extraversion: ISTPs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extraverts gain energy).[5]
S – Sensing preferred to intuition: ISTPs tend to be more concrete than abstract. They focus their attention on the details rather than the big picture, and on immediate realities rather than future possibilities .[6]
T – Thinking preferred to feeling: ISTPs tend to rely on objective criteria rather than personal values. When making decisions, they generally give more weight to logic than to social considerations.[7]
P – Perception preferred to judgment: ISTPs tend to withhold judgment and delay important decisions, preferring to "keep their options open" should circumstances change.


Naturally quiet people, they are interested in understanding how systems operate, focusing on efficient operation and structure. They are open to new information and approaches. But contrary to their seemingly detached natures, ISTPs are often capable of humorously insightful observations about the world around them. They can also be closet daredevils who gravitate toward fast-moving or risky hobbies

debaserr 06-01-2013 08:33 PM

Sorry for the bump, but I just learned about the briggs meyers test and the INTJ stuff fits me aside from a few points that I have improved through living.

This personality disorder test seems bogus to me (who wouldn't be more interested in a test that told you you were a freak), but I may have a bias:

Paranoid: Very High
Schizoid: High
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Moderate
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: High
Dependent: Moderate
Obsessive-Compulsive: High

I had issues with the wording with some questions, like:

Do you have difficulty trusting people? - I mean, doesn't this depend on so many outside factors? I'm very introverted, I don't really have friends, and most of my social interactions come from my job. I'm not inherently paranoid about people, I just have less interaction with them so it takes longer.

Do you sometimes profit at the expense of others, without being bothered by the pain or damage you may cause them? - But all my friends do that.

Do you often feel like people are saying negative things about you behind your back? - My lack of social confidence, particularly with girls, makes me think bad thoughts.

ThePhanastasio 06-01-2013 08:46 PM

I'm always an INFP, but the level of introversion/extroversion varies, depending. It's never enough to be an actual E, but I've seen it as high as a 60/40 split.

INFP: The Idealist

As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.

INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. What is their purpose? How can they best serve humanity in their lives? They are idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest for achieving the goals they have identified for themselves

INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place.

Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante. An INFP can be quite warm with people he or she knows well.

INFPs do not like conflict, and go to great lengths to avoid it. If they must face it, they will always approach it from the perspective of their feelings. In conflict situations, INFPs place little importance on who is right and who is wrong. They focus on the way that the conflict makes them feel, and indeed don't really care whether or not they're right. They don't want to feel badly. This trait sometimes makes them appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. On the other hand, INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them.

INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. When an INFP has adopted a project or job which they're interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for them. Although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their "cause".

When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically completely unaware of such things. They might go for long periods without noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulously brush a speck of dust off of their project booklet.

INFPs do not like to deal with hard facts and logic. Their focus on their feelings and the Human Condition makes it difficult for them to deal with impersonal judgment. They don't understand or believe in the validity of impersonal judgment, which makes them naturally rather ineffective at using it. Most INFPs will avoid impersonal analysis, although some have developed this ability and are able to be quite logical. Under stress, it's not uncommon for INFPs to mis-use hard logic in the heat of anger, throwing out fact after (often inaccurate) fact in an emotional outburst.

INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. INFPs may have problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are likely to be higher than other members' of the group. In group situations, they may have a "control" problem. The INFP needs to work on balancing their high ideals with the requirements of every day living. Without resolving this conflict, they will never be happy with themselves, and they may become confused and paralyzed about what to do with their lives.

INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkward and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they're feeling on paper. INFPs also appear frequently in social service professions, such as counselling or teaching. They are at their best in situations where they're working towards the public good, and in which they don't need to use hard logic.

INFPs who function in their well-developed sides can accomplish great and wonderful things, which they will rarely give themselves credit for. Some of the great, humanistic catalysts in the world have been INFPs.

In other words, I'm the last person who should be a bill collector by occupation. Today, I had a coaching sesh with my manager, and she asked my why I didn't ask something on the call that I was supposed to, per QA blueprint, and I was like, "She seemed embarrassed that she had to call in the first place, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings." I got a weird look at first, then minor admiration.

You really have to take it with a grain of salt. It's just a computer quiz, it's very black or white, it's either yes or no. There isn't a professional interpreting the results.
