How amusing that the most common type, ISFJ (which is mine) is not well-represented here. Then again, I always thought I was a bit of an oddity in Doperland.
ENTP here. What’s interesting is that ENTP’s are about the hardest group to market to, as we are highly resistant and skeptical when we’re being subjected to advertising.
INFP
You are not alone!
However, I have the feeling if I took the test again tomorrow, I’d be something else.
It’s been awhile since I’ve taken one of these tests, but every time I do my results are predictably INFP.
ENFP - so far, I seem to be the only one on here…
Here’s another in the INTJ crew.
I’m an “E”, but don’t know where my old test score is located, so can’t fill in the blanks.
INT(f)P. Sometimes the T/F score is nearly split. Heavy on the obliviousness. Ask anyone.
Gatopescado - the 9 is an enneagram, right?
I can never remember the letters that go with it but I was a “Protector Guardian” type when I last took a test for it.
Wiki Article for it. IIRC, and combining with the Wiki article, it’s the far-side of the ISFJ type.
I was just a few points away from being that. Instead I’m an ESTJ.
ESTJ tied with ESTP. Supervisor/Promoter.
How can I find out which Type is what % of the population?
There’s a table halfway down here.
I mentioned in the other thread that I’d done some short version of the test as a class exercise in grad school, mostly just so we’d be familiar with these kinds of tests once we were out in the professional world.
I came out INTJ, with the “I” being moderately expressed. In other words, I’m fairly extroverted for an introvert.
I just did the free online test linked to earlier in the thread and came out INTJ again, all traits moderately expressed.
ENTJ both times I took it.
INFP as well. just taken this morning as I realized that I do not like what I am doing for a living because I do not feel engaged at all.
Do a lot of people actually pay to take the M-B test? I had it administered to me as part of a couple of interviews, but have never paid for it.
Edited to add: If you have paid for it, do you find the information useful, and what do you do with that information?
I got INFJ. I wondered about this because I am not an introvert really. Well, I definitely have a complex inner life, but no one would ever describe me as “quiet”. But the descriptions of the ENFJ doesn’t sound like me at ALL.
So I don’t know. Other than the “introvert” bit, the INFJ is very close to my personality.
<a few minutes of reading later>
These descriptions of the personality types are kind of like horoscopes, aren’t they? It’s easy to see one’s self in all of them.
So I won’t put too much faith in the test. It told me I am an INFJ - read into that what you will.
ESTP, though it would probably vary if I took it tomorrow or had taken it yesterday or interpreted the questions differently.
I hear you - although I am an ENTJ, and I am VERY comfortable with public speaking and perform/sing in front of crowds regularly, I measured practically in the middle of E and I - just a point or two over into Extrovert. When I spoke with an MB expert along the way, one of them asked me what I did with my downtime - did I seek to be alone, or did I seek to be with others? I totally crave alone time - which that person saw as “recharges batteries alone” and definitely leaning more towards introvert. To get all Freudian about it, the logical follow-up observation (as posited by this expert) is that I have adopted extroverted tendencies both because I am comfortable doing so (that balanced I and E) and so I can use those tendencies “defensively” (i.e., reach out to someone to control the situation before they do the same to you…so the best defense is a solid offense, if you will). So I come across as far more E than I really am…
Bottom line - yeah, this stuff is horoscope-y and you can bend it to meet any hypothesis you want it to. Having said that, this basic model has worked for me as I have tried to figure my way through some tough inter-personal situations, so I have stuck with it for a while…
