The first two famous examples the website gives of this personality type are Shakespeare and Tolkien, so I'm more than pleased with the company here. I also like the Syndicate company.

Wow. We have a disproportionate amount of INTPs here.

I have some E tendencies, but I'm really an I. And I'm all INTP.

It just seems like the most sensible, logical, normal way to be. Like... you know what's what.

I know I've taken this before. I don't remember my results. I will take it again. I will not be surprised by my results. Myers-Briggs, much like the DiSK that my job uses. Is easy to understand testing wise. And easy to skew and criticize while you are taking it. I KNOW this is my personality type btw. I'm retaking for giggles.

and no surprise here. ISFJ.

I could go through the greatest hits. But yea. They are in every sense. Greatest Hits. I love those Lost Eps btw.

AKA - I will stubbornly make you great by refusing to believe you are anything else but. If I just believe hard enough, you can't possibly let me down.

Just today said to both an older employee and a noob. Older employee was all cranky cuz I'm up her ass about details while others slide.

Told them both. "If I'm yelling, you are fine. I still believe in you. I still think you are an important part of the team. It's when I quit yelling that you should be worried. Cuz then I gave up on you and your potential. And I just don't care anymore. You are a person who fills a hole and a need. Nothing more nothing less. If I loose you I'm not loosing sleep over it, I will make it up. In the mean time, you fill a hole, you fill a need. IF I KEEP YELLING AT YOU, I STILL CARE. I STILL THINK YOU ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR TEAM."

It's weird but true how much yelling = love in our line of work. It means we still care about you. And your development.

I'm pretty sure my left (aka the AM I MOST lean on ) is also just like us - cuz noob was laughing his ass off while I was telling him how to read me and my AM had told him all that the night before. I was all saying something and he was all "Keith said the exact same thing last night!" And I was all - you heard it twice from management. Take that as a lesson.

Looking at the poll:

Introverts: 74%
Extroverts: 26%

Introverts stay at home, socializing through the safety of a computer, while extroverts are outside interacting with people.

Thinking: 35%
Feeling: 65%

I guess... people who care more about people are more likely to play a game about people?

Sensing: 21%
Intution: 79%

This one actually makes sense. A game about imagining if someone is lying or not involves some use of intution.

Judging: 32%
Perceiving: 68%

Eh... I guess people who are more flexible and slower to make decisions like the game more since it's slow? Wonder if this would change if we only had burglaries.

I just pulled all of these conclusions from my ass, so don't take them seriously.

I took this again and this time I am an ISFJ-A which reading the description is pretty accurate.

I flip between INFP and ISFP pretty regularly, depending on where I am in life. I just retook it and got INFP, which is what I voted for originally, too.

I took this about a year ago and got INFP-T, which made sense. The T in particular was kinda funny as my life was falling apart at the time

I took this quiz recently which is not the same structure but which yielded shockingly (and I mean, like, mind reading) accurate results: http://www.colorquiz.com

On a whim/due to procrastination I just took another one of these tests and then remembered this thread. Turns out I took the exact same test linked in here. I still got INFP-A, but with slightly different scores:
Introverted -- 76% (I'm gradually becoming more social!)
Intuitive -- 59%
Feeling -- 75%
Prospecting -- 63%
Assertive -- 69%

A few of the questions were silly and I think I answered them different than how they were intended.

Edit: I took the second test that pops up on Google as well and got INFP again, so I guess that much is accurate. Scores varied again:
Spoiler: show
Introvert -- 66%
Intuitive -- 75%
Feeling -- 66%
Perceiving -- 72%
No mention of Assertive/Turbulent.
I didn't like this test as much and answered the neutral option on a lot of questions that felt too loaded to answer one way or the other.

That's awesome, I should take it again too! I used to get INTJ all the time, including here when I took it 3 years ago, but the last couple times it's been INFJ now.

I'm on the borderline between INTP and INFP, but the last test gave me a slight preference towards F so I'll go with that.

There's a member of the faculty in our psych department that absolutely loathes Myers-Briggs and shuns its very mention in his presence (which is understandable, to be fair, given that it's not at all scientific). Still, since he likes to be a party pooper my peers and I have made a tradition of gushing enthusiastically over what our types are whenever he is nearby.

I’ve never met psych people who are fans. I can get them behind big 5 trait tests though and there are strong correlations, so, I don’t know.

Most psych academics I’ve talked to deride the field, but I’ve seen what therapists and clinical psychologists can do with very simple personality profiles so I’m hesitant to judge.

And I’m just here for fun. And as a math kid, to examine strange data distributions. Like the “why are there so many INFPs”

I feel like the test doesn't go in depth, it's not specific enough to give any sort of useful info. It mainly tells you if you're introvrrted or extraverted which is like base level info. I wonder why a more refined test hasn't been developed yet. Probably because it's more fun to explore your identity without a big ol test

There are a lot more tests out there that are more refined than Myers-Briggs. And there's also a lot of junk out there which is what I think of Myers-Briggs, though it's certainly a fun exercise. Here is a short article without a lot of scientific jargon and math that asks the question "How Accurate Are Personality Tests"

I used to fluctuate between campaigner and debater but for many years I have been firmly campaigner on every test I've done.

I think I'm shifting that direction. Was solidly debater a few years ago, but on a few personality checks in the past eighteen months the F has been increasing. It gave me campaigner for the first time a few weeks back.

A lot pf psych people will learn that "MBTI bad" and "Big 5 good". It's very puzzling to me as I see them as being extremely similar systems, though MBTI gives the (somewhat false) impression of being more confined. I can see it from the perspective that MBTI in itself was developed for very practical reasons (sorting different types of women into fitting jobs during WW2), and so it had (and can have) a more generalised and practical use. However, the Jungian psychology the MBTI builds on is very rich, and Jung is one of the greater figures in the whole field of psychology. I think many people dismiss the ideas before they really get to the juicy stuff of what it's about. Which can probably be said about a lot of things in life. =p

No personality or typology system is something concrete that exists in life. I view it as a sort of language. Some of these languages are very useful in describing and making sense of personality, which is often otherwise very hard to describe and discuss with a shared understanding without having anything to grab on to.

Also, I think it's important to be clear about what a specific personality system does and does not account for. MBTI is about cognitive preferences. So it's all about how you gather and sort through information. Which is a pretty limited part of what one can call personality. So it doesn't say anything about what a person does, what motivates them or what drives them. But it can describe, fairly well imo, how a person prefers to perceive and judge information.

But the Enneagram is the real shit for those who want to go to the dark depths of ego and illusions. :llama:

Definitely harder to get into, I think. Exponentially more rewarding for me, personally. It also took me some time to find my type and type variant. It's tricky, cause it's about the way our ego tricks us. I was like "I can't be a body type relating to anger, cause I've never been angry my whole life!" Because I'm fucking angry all the time and have built a defence of sleep around it lol. There's a few reasons one can have trouble finding ones type. One being that you're a 3, 6 or 9, who all have a built in motivation to change a lot depending on circumstances. Another being you're a so called countertype - your instinctual variant (self preservation, sexual or social) combining with your type to be reactive to it, which generic type description sometimes doesn't account for. Like social 9s often being workaholics trying to rub off their sluggish indolence, self pref 4s being mild and friendly holding in their sadness, social 7s being sacrificial and guilty about gluttony etc.

Uh. I could talk a lot about this. Especially when I should be doing work (Type 9 power weeeeeee)

ENFP, but very close to ESFP. This was newly taken test, but nothing has really changed on this for a long time.
