My girlfriend, at the time, did a profile on me for her educational psychology class. Turns out I was a fifty-fifty split for killer or priest.

Nope. Was invited to during a couple of those god awful team building exercises seepy83 mentioned but declined to participate. I guess I'm anti-social/paranoid. Generally, the kind of folks who suggest employees take these tests are exactly the kind of people you wish you could meet in Half Life.

This is interesting. I took a much longer myers-briggs at work a couple of years ago as a team building exercise (something about learning how to talk to people with different personalities....i dunno, it was total B.S. and no one got anything out of it). When I took it then, I came out INFP.

Now, my results are ENTJ...


As a rule, I'm really not a fan of these "tests"...I don't think they work. I wonder which personality type is most likely to not think that they work....I'd say that's the best way to categorize myself 😀

It works better for some than others. MBTI tests people's natural preference for things. Like we have a right hand and a left hand and we can use both, but we prefer to use one of them. But some people can be ambidextrous too.
 
Just took the test linked in the OP, to see how I currently line up.

INTP
# distinctively expressed introvert
# moderately expressed intuitive personality
# slightly expressed thinking personality
# slightly expressed perceiving personality

Pretty fitting that none of them are like OMG you are this! I tend to change based on the situation, how I'm feeling that day, but in a general concept, I am definitively INTP, with the ability to difficultly adapt to a degree when I see a situation calls for it. More comfortable being me, but my intuition is my guide in life, which helps me see possibilities, which aids in adapting, though as I think about it my intuition unconsciously helps steer to avoid those situations. :laugh:

That'd be the ENTJ. 🙂
Relax, we're only 2% of the population.

and us INTPs are equally are rare apparently. 😀

We polar opposites need to band together. But as I'm a procrastinator by INTP nature, we can do that some other time. 😛

Dammit I don't want to adapt. :laugh:

In the MBTI personality type, introvert doesn't mean what most people think it means...

Introverted Characteristics

Think/reflect first, then Act

Regularly require an amount of "private time" to recharge batteries

Motivated internally, mind is sometimes so active it is "closed" to outside world

Prefer one-to-one communication and relationships


http://psychology.suite101.com...icle.cfm/the_introvert


Introverted isn't the shy, keep to yourself, socially awkward type as most people think...in fact, many/most introverts can do just fine in social situations, interact just fine with large groups of people...but it tends to drain them, and they need some "alone time" to recharge.

I are one...I can talk to/with large groups of people with no problem, but I PREFER either small groups or being by myself or with my wife. I LIKE my quiet time and do better when I have more of that than I do "people time."

Extroverts are just the opposite. They can function by themselves, but need large groups of people, often the center of attention, in order to recharge.

 
INTJ. When I was younger I was INTP, but have sliped into J. INT has always been the same (taken the test about 6 times since high school).

I am really introverted, but as the above poster stated that doesn't mean "shy." Would have been hard to lead a platoon of infantrymen through 15 months of combat being shy. But instead, interacting with people tends to drain me of energy after a while. If I do it a lot I take longer to recharge. Sometimes the whole weekend I won't leave or talk to anyone, just read books, paint, play with my dog or play computer games. Sometimes when going into work on Monday I actually have to talk to myself in the car to get my voice working again if it has been a long weekend because I haven't spoken a word in 4 days 😛
