I just took it and got ISFJ, the “defender” personality type. I must say it’s a pretty accurate description of me. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > The most useful thing about this test and others like it is to introduce a person to the concept that there are other valid ways of seeing, interpreting, and interacting with the world. . . . I can agree with that. There are a lot of other systems that do the same thing, but only divide people into 4 categories and make those categories broadly work related. Those are the systems that sell one or two day classes to a lot of businesses and agencies. I’m an INXP. And I’m always really ambivalent about the result because I’m always second guessing the answers. It seems like basing personality assessment on a survey will be most likely to give you the personality that you identify with, not necessarily the personality you have. > [@MeanOldLady](#): > > Awesome is my personality type. I approve of this assertion. But if you don’t have at least three other possible personality types, you’ll never sell your class. ---

My complaint with MBTI is that each dimension is binary. e.g. you’re either I or E. Yes, some later flavors introduced X for “too close to call”. The reality is there ought to be about a 10 point scale running from 0 = hardover I to 9 = hardover E. And likewise the other 4 dimensions. ---

> [@P-man](#): > > INFP here, supposedly the rarest type among males. Also have a hard time finding mates. Perhaps we once roamed the earth in great numbers but are now dying out. Seriously, I’m skeptical of attempts to quantify something like personality traits. The test can probably provide insights, but I don’t see it doing more. Yeah, I don’t take them as gospel or anything, but as another INFP male I think it does explain why I don’t get along very well with other people despite not being hostile or rude in my personality. ---

INTJ. First tested in high school 20+ years ago and retested a few times since, most recently last year. The retesting tends to be prompted by something like this thread making me wonder whether I’ll get a different result. I have never gotten any other result. ---

No, there aren’t, but I’ll let that slide because I like you. 😉 INTP-T, though I sometimes come up as INFP. Plus an excess of black bile. ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > INTP-T, though I sometimes come up as INFP. Plus an excess of black bile. What is this “-T” part that’s mentioned in a couple posts? But have you made sure that your aether levels are okay? I bought a phlogiston detector from a nice man who came to my door one day. You can never be too careful.
