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.

INTJ-Ts unite!

Wait, I thought we all wanted to be left alone, because libertarian INTJ

Yeah, I definitely have that. It's a weird conundrum to have with the INTJ personality type, which tends to be self-confident, but it's because I always overanalyze myself into oblivion and worry about pretty much everything.

what??? you????

Interesting that one dynamic makes such a difference, i.e., INTJ (19% Dem) vs. INFJ (49% Dem).

Could it be why, given I'm so close to the border on that, I see myself as a swing voter with politics I can't find a label for?

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

I could have told you that you were T!

Really? Whta about me makes you think that?

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?

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.

Golden wrote: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'm sure none of you are surpised there

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!

MovingPictures07 wrote: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.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: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.
