**NoCoolUserName** - looks like we got us a convoyā€¦ **ENTJ** here and Wordwife would definitely characterize me as a pain in the butt, er, Fieldmarshall. Not sure what she is - probably ISFJā€¦ ---

[QUOTE=Tabby\_Cat] Evil pun, yes, I know. šŸ˜ƒ I was just checking out my MBTI personality type, and I happen to be an INTP. Strange thing is, my SO happens to be an ESFJ, which is TOTALLY opposite from what Iā€™m supposed to be, and, well, weā€™re almost 2 years, and still going strongā€¦ So, whatā€™s your MBTI type? SO, too. [http://www.humanmetrics.com/](http://www.humanmetrics.com/) [Similar Minds](http://similarminds.com/advtest.html) also has a great test for this too. I am an ENFP. And youā€™re supposed to be the opposite of your partner to balance things out. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Iā€™m aware that we are in IMHO, not GD or GQ. But I donā€™t see any indication yet in this thread that [MBTI](http://skepdic.com/myersb.html) is anything other than a semi-serious method of describing a personality. Yā€™all are aware that this has about as much validity as asking ā€œWhatā€™s your sign?ā€, especially in this particular message board? Where ā€œfighting ignoranceā€ is at least given a token nod? Myers-Briggs is NOT a valid psychological tool. Itā€™s a bad attempt at pop-psychology bafflegab mumblespeak. If you find it fun, fine, but donā€™t take it seriously. If all contributors to this thread are aware of that except me, then I will consider myself to be royally whooshed. And Iā€™m a Pisces. ---

[ENFP](http://keirsey.com/personality/nfep.html) Some of the stuff in there describes me so accurately, itā€™s spooky. Especially [quote] Champions strive toward a kind of spontaneous personal authenticity, and this intention always to ā€œbe themselvesā€ is usually communicated nonverbally to others. That describes my style of socialization _exactly_. ---

INFJ. I hate these sorts of tests and yet to my surprise upon reading the description I felt that in many ways it summed up what I have always known about myself. I do tune out and yet Iā€™m very tuned inā€¦ Idealistic, activist, writer, intuitive, introspective and I can get into other peopleā€™s heads sometimes. Occassionally confused with a leader when I prefer to work behind the scenes. Often confused with an extrovert when I am simply fascinated by people. Any idea what type would be a good match for an INFJ? ---

_Yet Another_ INTJ here. Got me bang-to-rights - perfectionism and disregard for authority - check - been known to implement critical decisions without consulting their superiors - check, hehehe - do not readily grasp the social rituals - There are social rituals?

Anyone else get varying results on these things? Iā€™m almost convinced that peopleā€™s answers are highly biased by what has been going on in their lives in just the last few days. Although the fact that Iā€™m nearly on the border every time for introvert/extrovert and judgemental/perceptive may have something to do with it; who knows. ---

> [@msklystron](#): > > Any idea what type would be a good match for an INFJ? That would be someone who shares your values rather than a particular personality ā€œtype.ā€ How you feel about kids, travel (or living in one spot), communication, art, scienceā€“well, to make it short: life. These compabilities mean so much more in terms of a ā€œgood matchā€ than some (quite possibly bogus) test score. Just MHO (which is where we are, is it not?).
