The Syndicate

Funny that I accidentally called Jay "J"

INTJay.

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?

Hmm, I don't think I could it put it to words. I think you have a sort of duality of thought that comes out often, that I associate with this T. Like, maybe, there is a fight between two sides of you within the single thought - the emotional and rational sides maybe? I could have that wrong. I'm probably not a good analyst of why actually lol. But just instinct! The A's definitely seem more like people like me and J, the T's people like you and MP. It just makes sense in my head.

oh golden...

Did I get it completely wrong?

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.

Daisy is an E for sure.

Not my brain twin after all!

Interesting. I see almost the opposite - I'm much more likely to see my areas of strength and play to them.

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 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.

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. (Those who know me and my brother would find this incredibly accurate.)

You should change your title from 'the don' to 'the entertainer'

I find your mafia play entertaining. I never know what I'm going to see next.

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.

Well, you should stop arsoning then.

Oops I didn't cut and paste the picture. But I was 96% introvert lol. Nearly 70% P and the others were close to 50/50

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.
