I’m an XXFX… I was in the middle on all of them except one point more torwards feeling than thinking. Don’t know what to do about that. Ha ha ha…
Temperament is: Rational
Character Style is: Inventor (eNTp)
According to this, I am like The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
Oddly enough, it mentions in the description something about self-conscious role-playing and that this is apparently something eNFp’s do but don’t like it. I was just telling my friends at lunch today that no matter what I do I feel like a poser, even when I’m being genuine…
Lolagranola and I are both ENTP’s. Yay for us!
Your Temperament is Rational : NT
Your variant temperament is Inventor : ENTP
I’m an Idealist Counselor. (INFJ)
The Counselor Idealists are abstract thought and speech, cooperative in reaching their goals, and directive and introverted in their interpersonal roles. Counselors focus on human potentials, think in terms of ethical values, and come easily to decisions. The small number of this type (little more than 2 percent) is regrettable, since Counselors have an unusually strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others and genuinely enjoy helping their companions. Although Counsleors tend to be private, sensitive people, and are not generally visible leaders, they nevertheless work quite intensely with those close to them, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes with their families, friends, and colleagues. This type has great depth of personality; they are themselves complicated, and can understand and deal with complex issues and people.
Counselors can be hard to get to know. They have an unusually rich inner life, but they are reserved and tend not to share their reactions except with those they trust. With their loved ones, certainly, Counselors are not reluctant to express their feelings, their face lighting up with the positive emotions, but darkening like a thunderhead with the negative. Indeed, because of their strong ability to take into themselves the feelings of others, Counselors can be hurt rather easily by those around them, which, perhaps, is one reason why they tend to be private people, mutely withdrawing from human contact. At the same time, friends who have known an Counselor for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that they are inconsistent; Counselors value their integrity a great deal, but they have intricately woven, mysterious personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.
Counselors have strong empathic abilities and can become aware of another’s emotions or intentions-good or evil-even before that person is conscious of them. This “mind-reading” can take the form of feeling the hidden distress or illnesses of others to an extent which is difficult for other types to comprehend. Even Counselors can seldom tell how they came to penetrate others’ feelings so keenly. Furthermore, the Counselor is most likely of all the types to demonstrate an ability to understand psychic phenomena and to have visions of human events, past, present, or future. What is known as ESP may well be exceptional intuitive ability-in both its forms, projection and introjection. Such supernormal intuition is found frequently in the Counselor, and can extend to people, things, and often events, taking the form of visions, episodes of foreknowledge, premonitions, auditory and visual images of things to come, as well as uncanny communications with certain individuals at a distance.
Mohandas Gandhi and Eleanor Roosevelt are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ).
Actually, I’ve found that a lot of the people I’ve met online are INFP’s. I was also wondering if that had something to do with the fact that we all spent a good portion of our time online.
Has anyone taken TheSpark’s personality test? It’s similar in that there are four categories, and sixeen types, but the types are different. Several people who had the same Keirsey type as I did ended up with different types on this test. I’m thinking Keirsey’s more accurate, since this is TheSpark.
The test is here if anyone’s intersted.
Another Idealist Healer checking in.
ENTP. Strongly E and P, moderately N, and only barely T. So, primarily a rationalist inventor, with a touch of the idealist champion in me.
…I['ve taken the test so many times it isn’t really necessary. Every time I’ve taken it (over a period of ten years), I’ve always come up:
ENFJ: The Idealist Teacher
Rather appropriate, yes? In the book Keirsey authored, my personality type is also described as the “benevolent pedagogue of society.” Groovy and stuff.
BTW, I may be an NF, but I have a strong secondary NT-leaning. NTs are the actual opposites of NFs (as the book describes, as opposed to the ST one might assume), and as a result, I’m a frequently very conflicted person when it comes to handling emotion. Ah well.
Are any of the descriptions actually negative or are they just pandering to our egos?
You say that as if it were a bad thing.
another inspector guardian here.
Again.
My Myers-Briggs test came out INFP. Like that surprised any one who knows me… :rolleyes:

eSfJ–Provider Guardian.
Yep, me and George Washington.
Idealist-Teacher… it fits me well.
TroubleAgain-Found it! 
Your Temperament is Artisan : SP
Your variant temperament is Promoter : ESTP
Though I’m always suspicious about these results. Every time I take Myers-Briggs (4 times now for one reason or another) I end up with a different type. Sometimes radically different types.
In the past I have been:
INTJ
INFP
ESTP
ENTJ
So given my experiences I’d take it with a grain of salt.
Looks like I’m also an Idealist Counselor.
Hey Falcon! You and I can counsel the Teeming Millions together.
And here I thought I was just weird…
Tally
I’m an Idealist NF with a variant temperament of Counselor INFJ.
I have no idea what that means. All I know is those were some vague, vague questions.
