Myers-Briggs Personality Types

Post by Tangrowth »

So what thoughts do you all have on the Myers-Briggs personality type stuff? I've been mildly interested in all of this off and on since finding out about it over 10 years ago, and I just had a conversation earlier today about this, so I thought, let's talk about it on The Syndicate!

If you're not quite sure what that is, check out some information on the 16 Personalities website I'll provide below. Here is some information on the 16 different personality types. Here is some information on that theory behind this stuff.

And here you can take a version of the test to see what type you are.

If you know what type you are, vote in the poll and discuss! I'm curious how many of each type we have around here.

As for me, I've been the same type every time I've taken one of these things: INTJ.

Generally I feel that type has always fit me the best anyway. The J is typically the strongest, with I not far behind, and N and T can be a bit weak depending on the test, especially N.

I've never taken the test, but my friends (I have friends, shut up.) assure me I'm INTJ.

I believe my most recent result was INTP, which probably fits most of the time. I do think this brand of personality testing has limitations in that it describes a current state, meaning it can be quite fluid (and for me it has been -- I've gotten a number of different results at various stages of my life). I think the most useful application of tools like this is that they expose points of personal weakness, or at least of lacking focus. When I am labeled an "INTP", it just makes me want to explore the things that make me different from the opposite "ESFJ", and what I can do to cultivate a more well-rounded personality for myself.

I took it too just to see if anything's changed. I seem to be veering closer and closer to the "E" spectrum according to the test.

I got ISFP. Which says 'adventurer', which is definitely wrong (did the test miss all my answers which were the opposite of adventurer?)

I think where it went wrong is I should not be an S. It is very close and it's possible it interpreted some of my answers differently than I meant them. INFP (Mediator) or INTP (Logician) is what I thought I was before taking the test, and the F/T is also very close. The I and P are strong and clear.

All of mine were in the 70%-80% range, except introvert, which was in the 90s, shocking no one.

ISFJ here. This was a pleasant little experiment, and I enjoyed reading the personality-tags that follow. The most I took away from this was learning things about myself that I know are true but never think about, specifically weaknesses.

That said, not everything that falls into this personality applies to me. The majority of it seems spot-on, but I'm quite different on a few traits. But that's just fine, that just emphasizes how people can't be simply and strictly categorized, and that we're all unique.

It should be no surprise that on that last one (that I've never seen before) I got quite heavily assertive. Not as assertive as Jay, though.

Yeah, it's all incredibly intriguing and it's easy to get caught up in all of it; nonetheless, I agree it has particular limitations, and your interpretation is agreeable.

With that said, I'm not sure what I can do with the opposite personality of mine, ESFP ("Entertainer"). Interestingly enough, I've always solidly been an INTJ and my brother an ESFP. :p (Those who know me and my brother would find this incredibly accurate.)

Carl Gustav Jung invented personality typing, though not this specific test. He also theorized about archetypes, the collective unconscious, and synchronicity. I generally find his work persuasive, unlike that hack Freud.

Translation: Llama wants to sleep with his mother?

(Freud is easy to mock and I have to admit I've never studied him deeply. But I agree, llama. His analysis seems relatively meaningless for any kind of real-life application in any event, whereas look at Jay putting this stuff into a context that gives it meaning)

I am an E, though I have also tested and an I as well which just proves Jay's point.

Sometimes it will naturally come out, but it can be contained if we just remember that this is a game on a message board forum that 99.99% of the population of the Earth has never heard of before. No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

INTP-A

Yep, that sounds about right for me.

That's a good question. I've never seen that distinction before. It appears there's more information about it in the "Our Theory" page.

Here's what I found:


Strategies
The Strategy layer shows our preferred ways of doing things and achieving goals. There are four strategies:

Confident Individualism (Introverted and Assertive)
Spoiler: show
Confident Individualists prefer doing things alone, choosing to rely on their own skills and instincts as opposed to seeking contact with other people. They know what they are good at and have high self-confidence. These personality types firmly believe that personal responsibility and trust in yourself are very important values. Confident Individualists do not pay much attention to other people’s opinions and prefer to rely on themselves.

Read more about the Confident Individualism Strategy.
People Mastery (Extraverted and Assertive)
Spoiler: show
People Masters seek social contact and tend to have very good communication skills, feeling at ease in social events or in situations where they need to rely on or direct other people. These types are confident in their abilities and do not hesitate to express their opinions. Playing an active role in the society and knowing what makes other people tick mean a lot for People Masters; however, they are not too concerned about what other people think about them.

Read more about the People Mastery Strategy.
Constant Improvement (Introverted and Turbulent)
Spoiler: show
Constant Improvers are quiet, individualistic people. They tend to be perfectionistic and success-driven, often spending a lot of time and effort making sure that the result of their work is the best it can be. As their name says, Constant Improvers are high achieving individuals dedicated to their craft – however, they also tend to worry too much about their performance.

Read more about the Constant Improvement Strategy.
Social Engagement (Extraverted and Turbulent)
Spoiler: show
The last strategy is adopted by sociable, energetic and success-driven types. Social Engagers tend to be restless, perfectionistic individuals, prone to experiencing both very positive and very negative emotions. Their curiosity and willingness to work hard also mean that they are usually high-achieving, even if quite sensitive people. Types favoring this strategy also tend to place a lot of importance on other people’s opinions; they value their social status and are eager to succeed in everything they do.

Confident Individualism definitely describes me. Interestingly, although it only occurs in 2% of the population, INTJ is overwhelmingly overrepresented in libertarian circles. A statistically improbable majority of the people I worked with at FreedomWorks were INTJ., and I'm very interested to learn that MP continues the trend!

52% Introvert
69% Intuitive
71% Thinking
62% Prospecting
65% Assertive

So I'm close to being ENTP-A. I can see myself switching back and forth depending on the situation.

I would be intrigued to know how much association exists between Myers-Briggs personality type and political affiliation. :ponder:

My wife is ESFP, almost the complete opposite of me. :p

I'm the Logician and she's the Entertainer. Yet, I love to entertain. I guess it just comes out when people least expect it.

Boom.

But there are probably many other interpretations.

I was not surprised to see Democrats leaning more F than T. I don't mean that as a swipe against Dems/Libs. It's just confirms a long-held suspicion.

I just read the descriptions and INFP and INTP definitely both describe me very well in part. I suspect I swing between them.

ISFP does not describe me at all. I think it interpreted a lot of my answers to questions about keeping schedules or to-do lists as evidence of spontaneity and flexibility. In fact its not, it's just that I have a well-structured and organised brain for these things so I don't need to put that effort in to do it. If it had instead asked questions about whether I'd do things at the drop of a hat it would have realised I am not that. It takes me to be particularly relaxed and have no plans in my head to be spontaneous.

I will go through and read everyone else's responses but first I want to post that despite taking the official MB test a couple weeks ago, my husband harassed me into taking this one. So to make him happy I did. The results were the same and it is no surprise to me at all. I am quite solidly an ENTP. There is no letter that even comes near a gray area. It was as follows:

E - 91%
N - 90%
T - 73%
P - 83%

I was at 90% Assertiveness.

Happy now Alex? :p

As a side note, I've been aware of my personality type and weaknesses for a long time. So I answered the questions as I naturally tend to be, as opposed to the way I have learned to adapt to others. For example, I am not a naturally compassionate or thoughtful person, but I have learned that others need that and tried to cultivate it more. Or at least pretend it's there, lol. Anyway, yeah, tl;dr: I'm a loud, outgoing (and probably annoying) woman. Poor Alex.

Compassion and thoughtfulness are overrated anyway.

For the record:

87% Extroverted
51% Intuitive
65% Feeling
75% "Prospecting" (I've seen it as Perceiving)
70% Turbulent

Took the survey for the A or T y'all were talking about.
