Status: offline 		I just made a reference to Meyers Briggs personality profiles in another thread and got to wondering about how the members of this forum would be classified in this system.

For the folks out there who have taken this test, what type did you end up being classified as? And does it fit how you perceive yourself?

I'll start it off. I'm borderline INTJ/INTP. INTJ is referred to as "The Scientist". (And I actually am I biology teacher.) INTP is referred to as "The Thinker". (And I minored in philosophy in college.) So for me, this test was dead on. Friends who have read the descriptions of these types say they sound exactly like they are talking about me.

Most people I know who have taken the test get similar results - it's usually right on target. It kind of creeps me out a bit - sort of like watching "psychics" perform their craft. You're very skeptical of how it works, but sometimes you just scratch your head and say, "How the hell did they know THAT?".

So, is there anyone else out there who has taken the Meyers Briggs Test? If so, what were the results?

Majored in biological sciences in undergrad, then went on to veterinary school and a couple of other masters degrees. So, yeah, the scientist stereotype fits.

INTJ. Strong bias towards the "I" and the "T" in their respective categories. It fits pretty well, IMO, but I think standardized tests are limited in their ability to plumb the depths of one's psyche. Gross generalizations though? OK.

Most definitely. But for such a simple test that only takes into account four main axes, it is pretty scary with respect to its accuracy.

Status: offline 		The MBTI went around the forum once a few years ago. If I recall correctly INTJ was the most common type, probably around 40% with the other three _NT_ types making up another 40% of the forum.

I've been qualified to give the real MBTI since 1998 and I've had an interest in the system since 1982. I've taken the MBTI as well as several of the knock offs.

A word on test results, because of the nature of the test, the results are a probability that the test got the letter right. If the score for a letter pair is strong one way or the other, it is an indication that the test is pretty confident it got it right. If the score is close to 50/50 that is not a measure of relative strength, but a low probability the test got it right. If there is muddiness in any scores, the best way to tell for sure what you're preference is to do a bit of reading as you did and determine which resonates the best.

You indicate the your scores were muddy for J/P. That's very common for Introverts because of the way J/P was defined when the MBTI was created. The first three letter categories came from the work of Carl Jung. Introvert/Extrovert is called the Orientation. It's about how you are oriented to the outside world. Extroverts tend to engage the world to think and Introverts need to step back and create some space from the world to think.

Sensing/iNtuition is called the Perceiving Function. It is what we engage to gather information (perceptions) about the world. Feeling/Thinking is the Judging Function and it is what we engage to make decisions (judgements) on the information we have. Of the middle two letters, one is always extroverted and the other is always introverted. One is also always the dominant function (the favorite, most used) and the other is the auxiliary (2nd best).

Judging/Perceiving was invented by Myers and Briggs when they came up with the test to point to which of the middle two letters was extroverted. For an Extrovert, this points to the dominant function (the extroverted middle letter is always dominant for Es), but for Introverts J/P points to the Auxiliary because the dominant is always the introverted one of the middle letters.

Because for Introverts J/P points to the 2nd best letter, tests can sometimes come out hazy on J/P for Introverts because when answering the questions for J/P you may answer some thinking about how you interact with the world (when using your Auxiliary) and other times think about how you operate when using your dominant Introverted function which is Dominant.

All this is assuming someone who is generally mentally healthy (no serious mental illnesses or serious cognitive deficits). The system is not valid for people who have abnormal personality development due to some serious mental condition. (I'm talking about mental problems that get people institutionalized or fairly severe retardation.)

There are many books out there on this stuff. The system isn't so magical seeming when you understand how it works.

I'm an INFJ BTW. Though I fake INTJ fairly well from living in a society that encourages males to be T, coming from an all T family, then 8 years of technical education followed by a career in engineering.

As I said in my essay the test results are actually a probability the test got it right. Any category you scored near 50/50, there is a chance the test was wrong. On the other hand there are various external influences that can skew he score.

One of my instructors for MBTI training was doing consulting with the Army and gave the MBTI to units he worked with. When he tested them at work, he found most tested ESTJ. When he told people to take it home and take the test after dinner and relaxing with a beer, he got results that were much closer to studies of the general population. The Army encouraged ESTJ thinking, so at work, many people tested that way.

Status: offline 		Because the type doesn't predict everything about a person. In any group of people, you might see a skewing from the general population, but you will find every type represented.

I know an ex-cop INFJ. He loved being a cop (had to retire early due to a neck injury), but he was renown for being the weird guy (most cops are Sensors and did not grok him at all).

If we sat down and talked in depth about what we love about the game, you would probably come up with a different set of things that draws you back than I, but we both still enjoy the game. I know another INFJ who loved WW II games. I introduced him to WitP and he hated it.

The MBTI says a lot about a person, but it doesn't say everything. There are a lot of type "gurus" out there who try to predict relationship compatibility based on type. In my experience, they are all full of it in that area. Any given type can have a successful relationship with any other type. The factors that draw two people together go beyond the scope of type. Though type can be a good tool for explaining the speed bumps within a relationship.

Another way is to do tests where your peers answer questions about you.

I had one done on me and the accuracy was spooky, I certainly wouldnt have answered some of the questions in the same way!

I do know my blood line runs heavy to introverts. As I understand it, that doesn't mean we're anti-social or shy. It means we draw our "energy" from introspection (reading, arts, thinking, etc.) whereas extroverts draw their "energy" from social interaction. My family likes people and being with people, but after a certain amount of social interaction, our systems "shut down" and we need quiet time.

Yes, the "I" is about where you draw your energy from.

When I take the test, I'm 100% "I". Social interaction feels like work and just being around people sucks the energy/life right out of me. That's probably why by the end of a day teaching, I am completely beat.

Give me an hour by myself in a quiet room and I'm recharged. That's probably why at the end of an eight hour shift at my second job (milking cows), I actually feel mentally energized. Just me, 600 cows and one other employee (who I only see for about 2 of the 8 hours) = nearly zero stress.

Yes, and like Napolean, all the John Grisham characters are inherently evil-being as they're attorneys and all.

...i've taken the MB several times over the years...i've also taken one that uses D.I.S.C. as the characteristics (Directive,Influencing, Stability, Conscientious, IIRC) but don't recall the name of the test...it was eye opening for me as a manager in our complany because it gave real insight into why certain people behave as they do and the best way to deal with the certain types...

is D.I.S.C a MB knock-off or considered a separate model/test?

PS - if you really want to blow your own mind, google luscher (sp?) color test online...place 7 or 8 colored cards in order and the order speaks volumes...at least it did for me...knowing what all the colors signify considerably influenced the test for me, though, upon repeated tests...

I was an ENTJ as a young cadet at the Citadel (100% N and T, 80% J and 55% E), and years later only change was the J turned to a bare majority for J. Still solid NT hasn't changed.

I was part of a commissioned home sales force where the DISC system was the core of the selling process. We were taught different closing techniques to use based on our assessment of the DISC type. The system boiled the types down to animals for a memory aid. As I recall D= bull, I=tiger S=lamb and C =owl.

The initial assessment in the lobby of the model home was to figure out who the prospect was and what they would respond to. I found C's the easiest to close. Just answer all the questions in their Folder of Questions and they self-closed more often than not. I had a lot of trouble with Bulls, probably because I am one too. A lot of the Lambs were females and Lambs are the highest percentage in the population. The female sales people had an easier time with them. A couple of word pictures about throwing a Thanksgiving in their wonderful new kitchen and a lot of them caved. I wasn't so successful with that approach.

After losing 3 carriers in early 1942 I am more likely to:

A) Pretend like I have been killed in a car accident and change my login name.

B) See it as a challenge and form a new carrier group around HMS Hermes.



When setting an combat air patrol for a base I generally:

A) Use the "set all" button and check it every 2 or 3 months.

b) Carefully comb through commanders for their leadership and team buidling abilities, hand pick the pilots, mercilessly weeding out the slow learners and carefully keep track of the altitude of incoming attacks, setting the CAP squadrons to bracket the expected attack altitude. To tell you the truth if the game engine permitted team buidling seminars with guest speakers I would probably do that too.


You get the idea.

Oh Gawd. Where do I sign up for the car accident?

Status: offline 		When I go on vacation I:

a) Fraternize with the children all day long, splashing in the waves together and lavishing milkshakes on them; then, when the sun goes down, I take my spouse to dinner, topping off the evening with a lingering soak in a hot tub, reclining supinely while we relive the pleasures of the life we have built together;

b) Daydream for sixteen hour stretches about how our CL/DD force that is still twenty-seven hexes away from Colombo might arrive unnoticed and ravage to shreds a vulnerable and juicy enemy transport TF laden with irreplaceable troops and equipment, then spend four hours mulling over the possibilities of a northern gambit as opposed to a southern gambit, and just how many airfields are on Hokkaido, what levels can they be built to, and could I stage in aircraft from Attu Island?
