Kevin's Watch

I just took this test and answered all the questions based on how my favorite childhood story character would answer them (based solely on the character's thoughts and actions during the story), and got the same score as when I took it for myself. Maybe that's why I liked her so much--we have similar personalities.

I've come up on these tests before as an ISTP...

Your Type is
ISTJ

How odd. Just did this test, didn't realise that I'd already done it (and posted) 2 years ago. i got what looks to me like very different scores, but ended up as the same letter thingy, ESTJ.

so...i think this is hooey!


who among you think that i'm only SLIGHTLY EXPRESSED extrovert???

For a long time I personally have questioned the accuracy of the I/E scale on this test. That doesn't make the entire test or the idea behind it "hooey." It is limited to the scales provided and anyway there are no pure personality types in reality, this is just a rule of thumb guide to personality.

Some people have observed that they have obtained radically different test results over time. That is not a problem for the system or the test, it is simply the way some people are, not just over the years but on a daily basis. Some of us are like a different person at work than we are at home. Our personalities tend to change to the opposite pole when we are under stress, for example an ENFP becomes more like an ISTJ, so test results can vary depending on mood.

Just took the test in the OP.

INFJ
Introvert(56%) iNtuitive(62%) Feeling(38%) Judging(44%)

You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (56%)
You have distinctive preference of Intuition over Sensing (62%)
You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (38%)
You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (44%)

I've taken this test a good few times over the years (in a book I have) and I generally come out either INTJ or INFJ.

I always wonder if I'm a true introvert or just fakin' it 'cos it's cool

u.

I just took it to compare with old ones, but I don't seem to have posted my old result in this thread.

This time I got INTJ. N and J are slight, T is moderate.

Care to share your Enneagram digit Vraith?

5 here. Can't remember my wing, probably 6.
Or maybe Red Leader

Typology systems have their limitations but I still find them interesting. I was a bit wary of the Enneagram, mostly because a kinesiologist I was seeing at the time was way too obsessed with it. But the manner in which I came to learn my number was kinda powerful. My Kinesiologist reckoned I was a six. Some of it fit, a lot didn't. Then I had a dream in which I was setting up audio equipment for a Claudio Naranjo workshop. (Those who know the Enneagram will know him.) He was sitting in a circle with his workshopees. I was outside the circle fiddling with speaker cables when he looks across the circle, eyeballs me, and says "You're a 5."

Cheers Claudio

P.S. I still may have been skeptical were it not for the fact 5 fit me like a glove... with 5 fingers.

First off, you can't be a Red Leader here unless johnnyredleader has retired and somebody promotes you. Sorry.

Anyway, 5 wing 4, though once was a wing 6. [not much difference between the 2 really...Worm of the World's End is also a 5/4 IIRC]

I play with these tests a lot...I'm sort of lackadaisically running an experiment for my own entertainment...pondering what my scores+their summaries/categories+how they phrase the questions tells me about these kinds of quizzes in general, and the people who create/analyze particular tests.

Sounds like a fun experiment... until somebody gets hurt.

Sorry, that last bit's not relevant here. It's just what my Mum said when I put my brother in the washing machine. That and, "Stupid girl. I've told you he needs to go on permanent press!"

But yes, sounds like a fun experiment, especially the bit re: what it says about those who create these tests! As I said, I don't mind them so long as they're not applied rigidly and so long as their many limitations are recognised. But when used during a workplace "team bonding" bullshit conference, that's when they're REALLY dangerous. Unimaginative boss comes away from one of those thinking, 'Oh no, she can't do that task because she's ENTP not INFJ. Also, I heard she once put her brother in the washing machine.'

ETA: Trying to act surprised at your 5ness. Not working

P.S I would NEVER make myself Red Leader. I meant my wing was RL. As in, I've got your wing Shaun but I'm not Shaun. As in a separate entity. As in, never mind.

I'm always a bit suspicious about what is actually being tested in online tests and also who is actually gathering the information generated.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you

Funny, I suffer from extreme Narapoia...constant hyper-vigilant certainty that I'm out to get someone.

I choose to have a condition which is a specific (to only me) form of Narapoia called Vraithanoia; the constant need to stalk and twit anyone with the name Vraith

[EDIT: to make it funnier (if that was possible )]

I've done these several times over the years and always emerged as: I (strong) N (very strong) T (strong) I/J (borderline).

Your problem is more serious than you think...cuz there are only 2 vraith's...
And they're both fictional.

ISTJ
Introvert(67%) Sensing(1%) Thinking(88%) Judging(78%)

You have distinctive preference of Introversion over Extraversion (67%)
You have marginal or no preference of Sensing over Intuition (1%)
You have strong preference of Thinking over Feeling (88%)
You have strong preference of Judging over Perceiving (78%)


*sigh* This is me. I recognize myself.

A person who chooses to be afflicted with Vraithanoia enjoys fictional chuckles even more than RL ones

On topic: that's a powerful lot of thinking and judging you got going on there Lady Revel. If I remember my early scores from this test they were much closer to that than where they are now. I think that I have come to trust my body and my intuition much more than when I was younger. (Have you ever heard of the second brain?)
