My Myers Briggs is capricorn.
That gives you an I, an** N** and a P. Are you sure you aren’t a fapricorn or a tapricorn?
As part of a team-building day our company’s staff took an informal Myers Briggs type test. The four main divisions were (basically) empathetic, task-oriented, action-oriented, and analytical.
IMO it divided up the room pretty accurately. The company was mostly a counselling service, and the counselors were clustered together in the Empathy group, the executives were Analyticals, the counselling supervisors had a mix of Empathy and Task characteristics, and there was just a tiny handfull of fun-loving Action people.
I had the strongest Analytical score in the room, and am generally skeptical of pop psychology, but it was a fun experience and, I feel, a useful one.
If someone had a reason to try a mess with the results (e.g. when taking an employment test) then the quiz would probably be pointless.
INFP
Had to do it for one job. Didn’t think much of the training as tne HR “MBTI expert” took me aside and asked if I was SURE I was an introvert, because I spoke up a lot during the discussions (the group was people I’d worked with for five years). So in addition to sitting through the complete claptrap all day, I had to explain what “introvert” means to the “expert”. (It doesn’t mean you’re shy, it means that being in large groups exhausts you and you recharge by being alone.)
Anyway, I’ve taken it many times. Since hitting adulthood, my “type” flips between INTJ and INTP, both supposedly rare types. I’m pretty equal on the Judging/Perceiving axis.
Also, it’s basically pseudoscientific claptrap based on a faulty interpretation of Jungian archetypes, but at least “I’m an INTJ” sounds a *bit *smarter than “I’m Sagittarius with moon in Scorpio and Gemini rising.”
Everyone quoting their M-B tag as if it means anything should be made to watch this.
But then again, I’m a Virgo.
intj i think, i took an online quiz a long time ago
ISTJ
INTP.
But the characteristics you consider favorable will vary according to your personality. ![]()
ISTJ here.
Don’t most people score as S rather than N, though? Reading the descriptions, it seems to me that the N traits describe, essentially, people who are smarter – intellectual curiosity, comfort with abstract ideas, the ability to spot connections and patterns. (Of course, it may well be true that these traits aren’t actually valued in society. Sigh.)
We did this once at work, many years ago. About what you would expect for a bunch of software engineers, we were all INTP. The guys, that is. The one woman in our group was the exact opposite.
Iirc, intp
Lawful Evil.
Yes, I vary between INTJ and INTP.
Took it again last night. As of 9pm CDT I was INTP, which is my usual. However, as an INTP, I made every attempt to play fair because I was genuinely interested in the results, and analyzing them. Which I haven’t done because I got bored.
I’m an INTJ. INTJs are one of the rarest of the 16 psychological types and account for approximately 2% of the population. Women of this personality type are especially rare, forming just 0.8% of the population.
I wonder what percentage of Dopers are INTJs.
Today: ISTJ. Last year: INTJ. Several years ago (and close now) ESTJ. So this proves I’m extremely various? (Not gaming the thing; I don’t know how to do that, really.)
What I wonder about is how INTPs and INTJs deal with being the smartest kids in the room, at least according to Myers and Briggs. As a telemarketer I’ve given up and let the morons run things.
