[unsavedtrash]

57. me too

[Tuesday Afternoon]

63. thanks for the link. Looks like we keep good company.

:D

[FloridaJudy]

83. INFP as well

I've taken this test several times in my life. I'm always an INFP. Close to the line on the I and F, Waaaay over into the N and the P.

Typical Buddhist/lefty flake. :hippie:

[CBHagman]

112. INFP here.

For some reason DU seems to have a lot of us. :shrug:

[DarkTirade]

2. INTP

And I don't remember what it all stands for. :P

[CreekDog]

14. It means INTJ's and ENTJ's are right and your type is wrong

hehe. take heart, i'm wrong too.

:pals:

[DarkTirade]

23. Bah. Humbug.

:P

[DarkTirade]

38. Actually, my T sometimes ends up an F depending on the test

but mostly I get T. :)

[MrScorpio]

77. Another INTP here

There you go

[DarkTirade]

98. And a fellow scorpio and a music lover. Huh. :P

[MrScorpio]

102. Yeah, Dude

You know what I'm dealing with then

[DarkTirade]

107. I'll do what I can to make sure the music keeps getting made

and you do what you can to make sure it keeps getting played. :)

[lizziegrace]

3. INFP for me and Lelapin's an INFJ n/t

[Xipe Totec]

4. INTJ

[supernova]

6. INTJ

:hi:

[Xipe Totec]

8. Heavy on the I and the T

People tell me I think like a crab; sideways...

:hi:

[supernova]

18. I'm definitely "I" heavy

but sometimes, depending on my mood i can be a T or rarely a F, but always IN and J.

[Xipe Totec]

41. The think the kid in "The Emperor's New Clothes" story was INTJ

Never ask us a question, if you can't stand to hear the answer.

:hi:

[CreekDog]

44. But sometimes you just think you are right

when you are in fact, wrong.

:eyes:

[Xipe Totec]

48. But that's the beauty of being INTJ

the only opinion of yourself that matters is your own.

The rest is commentary.

:hi:

[supernova]

52. Oh so true!

:rofl:

And I openly admit that when I run into a person in authority, if I perceive that he is less smart than me and wanting to appear more so, my respect goes totally out the window.

[Xipe Totec]

55. ...

[Strawman]

90. Same here

"Rational Mastermind." Not sure I like that.

[supernova]

91. I know, it sounds so cold and calculating

and I don't perceive myself that way.

I like that Gandalf is a fictional representation of the INTJ. He's an impassioned visionary on a mission. I like that better.

[sasquatch]

101. Me too!

[supernova]

105. Wow! all the cool people are INTJs!

B-)

[SKKY]

5. ENFP

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. INTP. Always, every time I take the test.

Sometimes bordering a bit on ISTP.

[Kutjara]

9. Capricorn.

Oops...sorry, I was thinking about some other superstition. ;)

[Xipe Totec]

11. Definitely a J (nt)

[Critters2]

10. Sometimes an INFP, sometimes an INTP.

So, I don't put a lot of stock in Myers-Briggs.

[CreekDog]

12. ESFJ or ENFJ

I'm borderline on all the letters except for the F where I'm off the charts against T's.

No offense to T's, who won't be offended, they will just think I'm wrong or can't make up my mind.

[MissMillie]

93. I'm an ESFJ

:hi:

[RoadRage]

117. I'm an ESFJ too!

The description hit me to a tee!

[VenusRising]

13. INFJ for me and Zodiak Ironfist.

Weird. :crazy:

[lizziegrace]

22. ...

introvert? You? :P


:hug:

[VenusRising]

I know it's shocking.

But it's true. I'm only extroverted with friends and people I like.

I guess that means you, too. :eyes:




:P

:hug:

Enjoy the game, sweetie!! Go Bucks! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

[lizziegrace]

25. Such a burden...

:eyes:


;)






Go Bucks!!!

[VenusRising]

27. Nothing is harder than being an introverted smartass.

That's a lot of wasted funny. :P

[DarkTirade]

29. I think that's why I let so much of it out on the internet...

if I didn't, it would build up inside my brain until my entire head exploded.

And I sure as hell ain't cleaning up that mess.

[VenusRising]

30. I'm lucky in that I'm married to a smart-ass, too.

He ends up getting an earful of things I thought of during the day. :silly:

:hi:

It doesn't look easy to clean up.


:rofl:

[DarkTirade]

36. But what happens if you both think of the same smart-ass thing at the same time?

That can get messy too.

Although it's fun to bounce smart-assness off of each other... I had a roommate I could do that with for a while, and now that I moved up here I started dating a girl who's at least as quick as me, if not quicker. :) I'm kinda hoping it works out with her just of that.

Well, that and she's REALLY cute. :P

[VenusRising]

40. Cute is good.

We actually do come up with the same smart-ass things at the same time, and often it makes it even funnier.

I wish you much luck and laughter with the cute girl. :hug:

Does she have red hair? Cause then she could be the cute red-haired girl. :P

[DarkTirade]

47. Nope, blondish.

Which is odd, because I usually go for brunettes. :P But in her case... well, let's just say she doesn't photograph well. So when I started talking to her online the pictures I saw didn't do her justice. She had a certain cuteness to her, but it wasn't like 'holy crap I want a piece of that', just somewhat cute. But she was really cool (in the geeky sort of way that I like) and smart and we had enough in common to have a starting point, so we set up a date.

I almost got cold feet right beforehand because the day before I found out she was a *shudder*... Mac user. I couldn't believe I couldn't tell. I mean, I was talking to her ON MY COMPUTER and I couldn't tell that she was talking back on a Mac. Can we say compatability issues? Still, it was too late to cancel the date, so I showed up anyway.

When she came down the stairs though, it took all my self-control to keep my jaw from smacking into the ground. I was NOT expecting her to be that cute. Thankfully, being in chorus for four years in high school and in the string section in orchestra for 6 years gave me plenty of experience in how to talk to hot girls without making an ass of myself. :P

[lizziegrace]

32. It is!

you're a scream. ;)

[harmonicon]

72. no, it's just more concentrated

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. I'm a 19 out of 20 for the introverted polarity.

16. INTP

17. INFP

34. Me too.

19. INFJ

[Jackpine Radical]

20. INFP; however,

I know of no validity good studies ever done on the MBTI.

[Inchworm]

21. ENTJ

I always get those results. The only difference the last time I took it was that I was in a depression. My E was almost an I. Its back to strong E now :)

:hi:

[CreekDog]

24. I think I's behave like E's and P's in the lounge

In GD everyone behaves like E's and J's.

31. I'm iNto Toilet Paper

INTP

[pink-o]

33. Me too...

..But I could also say I'm a Sagittarius with a Virgo moon and 5 planets in water signs.

The astrology books would analyse me the exact same way!

[SteppingRazor]

35. ESTP, however none of my percentages are particularly high or low. n/t

[DarkTirade]

37. Interesting... people who hang out in the lounge here seem to be inordinately INs. :P

The I doesn't surprise me, if we had lives we'd be out and about instead of hanging out online. Anybody know what the N stands for?


*edit* Hmm... Intuitive, huh? Maybe 'cause our intuitiveness makes us care about other people more or something, hence why we're a bunch of dirty hippie liberals? :P

[HERVEPA]

39. ENFJ

[last_texas_dem]

42. I'm a strong INF with a very weak J

I've taken different tests several times and never scored as a "P" but am always right on the line between "J" and "P"; just barely on the "J" side. But I'm a very strong "I" and "F" and a fairly strong "N."

ON EDIT: I also rarely proofread before hitting the "post" button. haha

[CreekDog]

46. i hope you don't worry about your P-ness.

:rofl:

[last_texas_dem]

50. Nah, I'm alright with my "p-ness"!

(Hope that wasn't too much information. haha)

[last_texas_dem]

106. Wow, I should have capitalized that "P"

Looks kinda dirty otherwise. haha Just noticing this a couple days after the initial post...

[WinkyDink]

43. I am an introvert who hates stuff like Myers-Briggs.

The Portait of the Counselor (INFJ)

The Counselor Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in reaching their goals, and enterprising and attentive in their interpersonal roles. Counselors focus on human potentials, think in terms of ethical values, and come easily to decisions. The small number of this type (little more than 2 percent) is regrettable, since Counselors have an unusually strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others and genuinely enjoy helping their companions. Although Counsleors tend to be private, sensitive people, and are not generally visible leaders, they nevertheless work quite intensely with those close to them, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes with their families, friends, and colleagues. This type has great depth of personality; they are themselves complicated, and can understand and deal with complex issues and people.

Counselors can be hard to get to know. They have an unusually rich inner life, but they are reserved and tend not to share their reactions except with those they trust. With their loved ones, certainly, Counselors are not reluctant to express their feelings, their face lighting up with the positive emotions, but darkening like a thunderhead with the negative. Indeed, because of their strong ability to take into themselves the feelings of others, Counselors can be hurt rather easily by those around them, which, perhaps, is one reason why they tend to be private people, mutely withdrawing from human contact. At the same time, friends who have known a Counselor for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that they are inconsistent; Counselors value their integrity a great deal, but they have intricately woven, mysterious personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.

Counselors have strong empathic abilities and can become aware of another's emotions or intentions -- good or evil -- even before that person is conscious of them. This "mind-reading" can take the form of feeling the hidden distress or illnesses of others to an extent which is difficult for other types to comprehend. Even Counselors can seldom tell how they came to penetrate others' feelings so keenly. Furthermore, the Counselor is most likely of all the types to demonstrate an ability to understand psychic phenomena and to have visions of human events, past, present, or future. What is known as ESP may well be exceptional intuitive ability-in both its forms, projection and introjection. Such supernormal intuition is found frequently in the Counselor, and can extend to people, things, and often events, taking the form of visions, episodes of foreknowledge, premonitions, auditory and visual images of things to come, as well as uncanny communications with certain individuals at a distance.

Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker Eddy, Queen Noor are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ).

65. Never heard of this before...

so I tried it - INFJ. Seems pretty accurate. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

49. INTJ for the effing win.

PSYCHE.

51. intp, same as it ever was

pretty much on the outer ranges too. hyper-analyzing b'strd, me. just can't help it.

[YankeyMCC]

53. INTJ

I remember from getting tested in Officer Training for the Air Force. I remember my Training officer looking at the result and telling me that INTJ was extremely rare for people who serve in the military almost an 'opposite' type.

:shrug: she never really liked me :)

[Generic Brad]

64. She was just scared of you

We make up 1% of the population and scare the shit out of people who do not comprehend us.

[triguy46]

54. ISTJ, give 'em hell Harry and me.

Inspector Guardians look carefully and thoroughly at the people and institutions around them. Making up perhaps as much as ten percent of the general population, Inspectors are characterized by decisiveness in practical affairs, are the guardians of institutions, and if only one adjective could be selected, "superdependable" would best describe them. Whether at home or at work, Inspectors are nothing if not dependable, particularly when it comes to examining the people and products they are responsible for-quietly seeing to it that uniform quality is maintained, and that those around them uphold certain standards of attitude and conduct.

[Rabrrrrrr]

56. ENTP. Never tested as anything other than that for 15 years.

And I love it!

Best Myers-Briggs to be. The other good one is INTP.

Generally Pissed Off But Not Without Humor

Actually, I took the assessment in the middle of a really nasty divorce. VERY depressed at the time and it was taken as part of a class. Really dreaded the whole event. The results were weird. Almost right down the mid-line in all categories. I burst into tears.

Prof and a classmate were taken aback and asked what was wrong. I blubbered: "I don't even have a PERSONALITY anymore!"

Prof looked at the print out and explained it meant I was extremely fortunate and could draw well from all aspects which would actually make me more resilient and less brittle in confronting problems.

Who knew?

Can't remember the type classification and won't dig the thing outta the closet. But since there was no strong leanings in any one direction, let's just say I am a dandy referee ;)

84. I always have problems with that question

"Would you prefer to go to a party, or stay home and read a book?" It's on almost every personality test - including this one - in some form or another.

Which party????? Which book?????

Ann Coulter or Introduction to Economics vs. MoveOn fundraiser? Party wins.
Kurt Vonnegut or Harry Potter vs. Trendy Disco? Do you even have to ask?

On average, I've found that there are more good books than interesting parties, but my own mileage varies.
