Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
*is surprised at the people who are INFJ's, too, because she never thought herself alike to them...* Well, there're only 5? or so right now so that's still some special.
And for me to decide if I'm mostly INFP or INFJ:
From the Perceiving and Judging Characteristics, the ones that apply to me:
* Controlled
* Good at finishing
* Organized
* Scheduled
* Quick at tasks
* Responsible
* Likes closure
* Makes plans
* Adaptable
* Relaxed
* Care-free
* Spontaneous
* Changes tracks midway
* Procrastinates
I know it seems that more of the "J" characteristics have a "yes", but the "yes" ones for the "P" characteristics have a greater value than the ones on the J, which leads me to believe that the characteristics in me equal each other. I don't know. >_< The part of perfectionistic characteristics, being good at socializing when feeling like doing so, and that they like to express themselves through writing is what makes me not say that I'm not an INFP. [/ramble]
It is a comfort to know you have a similar trouble, wolfloversk.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
INTP
INTP types are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who tend to spend long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. They are curious about systems and how things work.
Yeah.... Pretty much. Doesn't completely cover it, but that's me.
...notable [INTPs] might include Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, and Thomas Jefferson
Good company.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
I was an INTP (although I took the test a few times and got different answers...I wish they had a "sometimes" button ) Here are the numbers...
Introvert- 44 (I think this may be because I answered yes to the "comfortable in crowds" question)
Intuition- 25
Thinking- 1
Perceiving- 11
I didn't score really high in any one catagory...I guess I'm just kinda weird That's a really cool list Val! Only 1%...I feel kinda special now
Here are a few of the things I thought were me-ish...
I always do this, it drives me crazy when I can't find the perfect word
^ The last two drive me crazy as well^ (Actually some of these kind of connect...I usually have a hard time expressing my feelings and bottle them up because I can't find the right way to describe them (first Wikipedia quote))
This, however, is not me at all
Although I think I might be a lot like you Bella because I (think at least) a have a lot of the INFP traits, and a few INTJ (although since I only got 1 in thinking and 11 in perceiving I guess they're not really far-fetched)

-INTPs frequently puzzle over a problem for hours on end, until the answer suddenly crystallizes in a flash of insight.
As their inferior function, Feeling can be a weak point; when threatened they will hide behind a wall of stoic logic. This can lead them to bottle up their emotions to preserve reason and harmony; but a failure to deal with these concealed emotions can lead to childish outbursts.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
I'm an ISFJ.
Introvert - 56
Sensing - 12
Feeling - 38
Judging - 44
I guess I agree with the description - especially the introvert part. Not so sure about 'sensing', but then again, it's low. Some of the questions were hard to answer one way or the other, like others said.
"Traditional careers for an ISFJ include: teaching, social work, most religious work, nursing, medicine (general practice only), clerical and and secretarial work of any kind, and some kinds of administrative careers."
Haha. That's not really the kind of thing I had in mind.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
I often turn up with INTJ, but there have been many variations. I am certainly introverted, usually intuitive. "Thinking" is true for me, but I'm of the opinion that it does not shove aside "feeling." I'm at least as much of an arts person as a math/facts person, for instance; but I certainly do usually rely on objectivity over "personal considerations." Occasionally I come up with "perceiving."
This time I took it I got back INTJ with every number at least 50 (Introverted and Thinking being the highest at 100 and 75 respectively).

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
INFJ supposedly.
The only famous person that I was interested in that's that type as well is John Calvin...
(Edit: A few more...)
Robert Burns
Fanny Crosby
NL: Lame? Maybe some of them on the list. But I think Robert E. Lee being on there is pretty awesome.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
INTJ
Introvert 67 %
Intuitive 38 %
Thinking 62 %
Judging 44 %
This is the second time I did that test, and even if the "Strength of the preferences %" is a bit different, the result is the same .
Famous people with the same particular type (from Jung Career Indicator): Stephen Hawking, Andrew Grove, Marie Curie, Guy Kawasaki, Igor Sikorsky, Hillary Clinton
some of the famous fictional people (from Functional Analysis by Joe Butt): Cassius (Julius Caesar); Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice); Gandalf the Grey (J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth books); Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs); Professor Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes' nemesis; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Hamlet)
The description: "not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead" That's me .
That was a bit odd. I certainly didn't think of myself as a personality type alike to Gandalf and Moriarty.
Edit: Valiant_Lucy and PrincessMia241, unless I missed something, just the three of us have INTJ .

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
I am an ENFP. Although, honestly, I would consider myself an Introvert, I consistently get Extraverted. I'm definitely one of the rarer types here around NW.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
This seems like a pretty accurate test, but I'm not sure if it is completely accurate. (That is, it's a thorough test, but it's so DETAILED I'm not sure! ) Here's my result.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
I was talking to one of my friends and his family and they were all saying that you can't take an online test to determine what kind of personality you have. It's something you have to have done in person. It's determined by how you talk, how much energy you expend, what you do with your hands, how you stand, etc. They actually said I'm an extrovert, not an introvert. And, after thinking about it, I can see that they're probably right.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
GtG, I can see that having a professional "test" you in person would probably be helpful, but saying that online tests *never* work is not true. What about the majority of this thread who were able to find their "type" that they identify with and seems to describe them exactly?
I was doing some thinking about the types of Lost characters. The ones I could come up with are:
Sawyer--ISTP
Ben--INTJ
Locke--INFJ
Jack--ESTJ
Any thoughts about the other characters, or characters from other shows/movies/books?
I kinda think Aragorn is an ISTP, and Snape, and probably Voldemart as INTJ's. Hermione probably is an ISTJ, and Luna I'm going to say is an INTP. I think Harry might be a INFP.

my friends said that sometimes, that's who you think you are. Sometimes you can convince yourself you are that personality but really aren't. And they didn't say they could never work, but they said that the magority of the time, the tests aren't accurate enough.

That's exactly right--our preference has a part in what the result of the test is.GtG wrote:that's who you think you are
I think sometimes we aren't aware enough of what we are really like. When I was younger I'd taken the Myers Briggs test and my results were different. It's only in the last year or so that I've really gotten to know myself better, and therefore have gotten the more accurate results. For example I used to think I was a details person, but then I realized I'm actually goal-oriented.GtG wrote:Sometimes you can convince yourself you are that personality but really aren't.
If you're talking about just any old random "personality test" I'd have to agree with you. However the Myers Briggs test is more then just "What color is your personality" sort of quiz. According to wiki, it's a "psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions." It goes on to say that "These preferences were extrapolated from the typological theories originated by Carl Gustav Jung, as published in his 1921 book" and that "The initial questionnaire grew into the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which was first published in 1962."GtG wrote:the magority of the time, the tests aren't accurate enough.
They didn't have internet back in the 60's. This has been around for quite some time, and was developed by extremely intelligent professionals.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
^ok well a test can never get the same results that a professional himself can tell you. I know someone who can tell what type you are just by talking to you for five minuts. And he's only been wrong once. I'm just saying that face to face is better than what can be a biased test.

Re: Personality Types *Vote in Poll*
mmmm.... I seem to be a minority here, I am ENFP a Champion, Extraverted 100%, Intuitive 12%, Feeling 12%, Perceiving 33%.
"Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences.
Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types."
Yeah, thats me alright
"Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible."
Yet again. Me.
"Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company. Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen."
YET AGAIN! ME! Hehe. I'm in the same league as Charles Dickens, Joseph Campbell and Sargent Shriver! Coolness man!
