What Myers-Briggs personality type are you? (1 Viewer)

ENFJ

Strong Extravert

Moderate Intuitive

Slight Feeling

Basically even Judging vs. Perceiving

Extravert(78%) iNtuitive(50%) Feeling(12%) Judging(1%)

You have strong preference of Extraversion over Introversion (78%)

You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (50%)

You have slight preference of Feeling over Thinking (12%)

You have marginal or no preference of Judging over Perceiving (1%)

David, King of Israel (interesting note as family lineage can be traced back to King David through a long line of Rabbi's on my mothers side)

U.S. Presidents:

Abraham Lincoln

Ronald Reagan

Bill Clinton

Barack Obama

Curious what the ENFP would be, as Judging and Perceiving were very close.

ETA: Looked up ENFP, and must say it looks to be even more spot on than ENFJ, although they came in only 1% apart, so should be expected.

Last time I took this, my TF score was almost 50-50. I frequently go back and forth on the PJ as well, but definitely fit the Perceiver description better. The INTP description is pretty accurate for me.

INTP here.

http://oddlydevelopedtypes.com/INTP

Independent, abstract reasoners, INTPs are often found working at the cutting edge of thought as mathematical/political/economic/etc theorists. INTPs are not interested in everyday chitchat about coworkers, barbecues, shopping trips, etc. They would rather be discussing whether dolphins have language or complaining about how Star Wars breaks the laws of physics.

INTPs are interested in absolute Truth as established through logic and reasoning. For this reason, philosophy is a beloved INTP pastime.

The beauty of pure reason and perfectly designed systems is not lost on INTPs. They appreciate the design of cleverly-engineered products and carefully constructed statements of logic, whether in the form of arguments, equations, or computer code. They feel a sense of satisfaction when they see facts appear in that fall in line with their mental model of a situation.

Over the past couple of years, I've taken a bunch of these sorts of tests (DISC, Hogan, MB) as parts of various professional development programs. First of all, these things are so spot-on for me that they're sort of creepy. I'm not a psychometrician, and I'm constantly floored at how relatively brief tests can nail my personality. I know some people feel like these tests completely mis-read them, but not me.

Second, I've found these to be pretty reassuring. I always assumed that my introversion would be a big liability for positions involving leadership, but I've since learned that that needn't be the case. There are a ton of people similar to me in academic administration. I've gotten more comfortable in my position knowing that I'm not really that much of an outlier.

 
Potential shark move:

Go into an industry dominated by opposite personality types and do business using primarily your strengths. Consumers of that product or service may be drawn to you if they are disenchanted with the normal/standard offerings in an industry.

Example: Car salesman who only markets to buyers in non-aggressive ways, set appointments, educate only, allow buyers to leave pressure-free, followup with touches down the line for birthdays, anniversaries, etc... as opposed to pulling into a car lot and being swarmed by cheesy plaid suits and fake smiles.

It would be interesting to see people posting their results along with their career paths. I'm an INTP who's about to become an attorney, which makes a lot of sense according to the Wikipedia page.

 
ENFJ - spot on for me

Extrovert-78%/Intuitive-12%/Feeling-25%/Judging-78%

These can vary for you based on the nature of your job - if you are in an operations job at the time vs. marketing, etc. you have to be more concerned with deadlines and are typically less flexible. A lot of people move through various jobs and if you are going to be decent at them you have to change your approach somewhat.

I have varied in the past too. I usually am INTJ but the last two times I've come out INTP. The percentages that come with your results indicate how heavily you tend towards that strength. A higher percentage, according to Anatalytical psych, also indicates a larger "shadow" in that individuals personality. So a lower percentage indicates a more balanced individual.

(Yes, I realize this is a 2009 post...)

I just started trying to multiquote all the responses here for INTP but I was surprised to see it really added up, it might be like 15-16 or so.

But I am curious if anyone knows anything about the above comment. Within a group, if you are really high in one, then you are high in the other. So for instance a high Feeling grade results in a low Thinking grade, and vice versa, right?

What if you are extremely low or extremely high in any one category, what does this mean?

apparently our prior poll thread on this was pruned.

since there's no poll here, i decided to track the responses in Excel. Over one-third so far fall in the two INT dimensions (compared to a little over 7% in the general pop). 16 INTJs and 9 INTPs.

Compared to those general population figures posted earlier:

E/I - 50/50 split in general pop; we are 68% Introvert

N/S - general pop is 68% S; we are 73% N

T/F - slightly more Fs than Ts in general pop. We are 64% T. IIRC, this dimension has a male/female skew.

P/J - general pop has 57% J; we are close at 66% J.

Of the 16 possibilities, the only combo not represented is ISFP. Considering one of the ISFP descriptions as "considerate of others, do not force their opinions on them", perhaps that's not surprising for the FFA.

p.s. I am INTP.

So the FFA skews INTJ?

INTJ - Independent, original, analytical, and determined. Have an exceptional ability to turn theories into solid plans of action. Highly value knowledge, competence, and structure. Driven to derive meaning from their visions. Long-range thinkers. Have very high standards for their performance, and the performance of others. Natural leaders, but will follow if they trust existing leaders.

Of course you are, who else would spend the time calculating all of that?

I'm not sure what this means. Do you mean that if you're high in one, then you're low in the other? The more of an introvert, the less of an extrovert you are, etc.

The real me: ENTP

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their debating skills. ENTPs tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. This sometimes confuses, even angers, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.

I flip between ENTJ and ENFJ almost every time I take one of these tests.


 
INTP lawyer here. A few years back I got really into Myers-Briggs. Here are a few thoughts to help make sense of this (and I know at least some of this has been discussed already):

- each of those four letters actually represents half of a spectrum, but being classified as one letter or another only says you fall into one half or the other of that spectrum at the time you took that test, but not how far into that half;

- the people who are fairly balanced on a given axis (for example, they're nearly 50/50 on intraversion-extraversion), may very well test differently on that axis from test to test, coming out as extraverted on one test, intraverted on another, when in reality this is the natural result of psycho-social changes day to day - literally, a lack of sleep or the proverbial "bad week" might change the test results enough to affect a closely balanced characteristic;

- the free online tests vary widely in terms of their accuracy/validity, so changes when you take one test versus another are to be expected; with free online tests the best approach is to take at least several and then compare results and look for patterns;

- the same approach should be taken with the various sites' descriptions of each type;

- people are typically poor self-reporters/self-evaluators; this test can easily (and unintentionally) be manipulated by how we'd like to perceive ourselves or how the think we ought to behave, rather than how we actually do; for fun, you could have someone who knows you very well take the test "for" you and see how the results come out;

- these test results typically get over-interpreted in a number of ways, as if the test is magic or something, and the implications of precision you get from reading the highly detailed descriptions don't help; in reality the 16 classifications are simply bundles of characteristics that people who test with these traits often (but but not always) have; everyone has their own combination of those characteristics, and usually at least one or two characteristics that may not fit well within that type;

- it's tempting to think that this test tells you "who" or "what" you are, but it doesn't; it merely is a general classification of your typical behavior and personality, based upon a combination of genetic traits and life experience; these traits typically change, at least to a degree, during the course of our lives, and they are also affected by our parents' child-rearing, socio-economic status, psychological trauma, mental illness, drug addiction, general physical health, and countless other variables that act as overlays upon the personality traits we're born with as our "default settings".

This is a good posting. I was first introduced to this test a few years ago by my girlfriend who took it for her job. Seeing the results helped me to understand some of my strengths and weaknesses more clearly, and it helped me realize different ways for me to address some of my deficiencies, particularly talking to people who are way more "F" than "T" and being more empathetic about instead of just offering hyper-rational responses that I view as the correct solutions to their issues.

 
On a related note - if you have not read Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine - I highly recommend it. Yes, it is similar to many other works out there. However, I found it very relatable to identify what the different psychological factors are that motivate and demotivate myself as well as the others I work with. Not to assess them per se, but to be aware of factors to consider when working with them and factors within myself to be aware of when dealing with others.
