Myers Briggs Personality Types, who's in the house?

[fleabert]

If you have taken the test, let us know your results here... I am curious if there is a prevailing type here at DU. There are 16 types, so I will have to make two polls... here's the link to the rest of the types:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2827103

www.myersbriggs.org
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm (online test, not thru offical MB site)

I'd also be curious if you agree with results or not. Here's an overview of all the types, this site has lots of good stuff, poke around a bit if you are interested in this stuff. I love it!

[fleabert]

5. PM me about the board, if it's open to newbies, i'm curious...

thanks.

[xmas74]

8. I gotta find the link.

It is open to newbies at any time-it's more of a open letter than a actual message board. I'll look around for it in my mail since I haven't been there in a while.

[mac56]

66. INFJ here too.

My lovely wife is an ESTP. Opposite on all four scales.

[xmas74]

78. That is really odd!

I guess in your case opposites really do attract.

[leftofthedial]

7. ENFJ?

[fleabert]

9. you are on the second page, click the link in the OP to find it...

[phaseolus]

10. INTP here

...and with a careful, dispassionate analysis of all relevant data, applying logic and reason to arrive at the absolute truth, I've come to the inescapable conclusion that INTP's rock. :D

[Malva Zebrina]

[flvegan]

14. ENFJ here, so they tell me.

[loudestchick]

64. How ENFJ are you?

[flvegan]

82. From the "definition" they give, and the scenarios

it's a dead hit. Describes me pretty well.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

15. ESTP

"Friendly, adaptable, action-oriented. "Doers" who are focused on immediate results. Living in the here-and-now, they're risk-takers who live fast-paced lifestyles. Impatient with long explanations. Extremely loyal to their peers, but not usually respectful of laws and rules if they get in the way of getting things done. Great people skills."

[JohnKleeb]

20. Why does that not surprise me?

:D. Ive gotten the imperssion, youre a bigger talkah. I am that really rare one with only one percent, I forget what, I have the results in my binder but no way in hell will I open that thing. I am an I for sure.

[xmas74]

21. INFJ

Just like me. It's me, you and Dark-Leftest. We are very rare people you know.

[JohnKleeb]

24. Yep me and Dark Leftist both have Aspergers Syndrome too

[xmas74]

26. I didn't know that .

That is very interesting.

[JohnKleeb]

27. Yep

Have you heard of it?

[xmas74]

30. Yes. I've done some reading into it.

Many w/ the condition tend to also be of above average intellegence. I dated someone w/ it once.
I am much more familiar w/ austism-only because I worked in an institution.

[JohnKleeb]

31. Oh yeah?

Yeah Ive been told I have an above average IQ.

[xmas74]

34. It's just more in the way that you process stimuli.

Do you find that everything seems to have a pattern?

[JohnKleeb]

35. Yeah sorta

[xmas74]

36. They tend to be really good at processing data.

But the patterns will drive you nuts. Many do have that problem. My exboyfriend did. He was superb in mathematics.

[JohnKleeb]

37. I am great at basic mathematics

When I would visit graveyards as a little kid, I would always be able to find out how old people were when they died really quickly. I also love sports statistics and the such but I hate advanced math. My favorite subjects are history and english. I am gonna be majoring in liberal arts at the community college as a matter of fact. Yes, patterns acan drive me ntus and as far as data goes yes, I can remember stuff easily, I dont even study for my history tests EVER yet I get the best grades in the class.

[xmas74]

39. Than you turned it into an advantage!

[JohnKleeb]

41. Sweetness

Yeah I suck at things lke Algebra but I do love reading statistics, one of my favorite books to get from the library as a little kid was a book called total baseball.

[xmas74]

42. I like statistics myself.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. I am very outgoing, no shyness here-ever!

:D

Did you take the MB test at school?

[JohnKleeb]

25. I took some of it yeah

At the beginning of the year in English. I actually had two different results. Hey, btw, if I save up some money and I get time this summer, I may be up to Boston, maybe someone can board me up, I turn 18 this summer.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

28. You're always welcome up here in Boston!

[JohnKleeb]

32. Cool

I really would love to hang out.

[curse10]

17. I'm an INTJ

although there was a time when I would score as an INTP

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. You're an "I"? That's surprising!

:D

[curse10]

29. LoL- I only become an "e" if I've had a lot of vodka

:D

[Kathy in Cambridge]

33. LOL I become more of an "E" with vodka

much to my chagrin...

[VelmaD]

43. In may be because of an artifact in the test...

I'm an INTJ as well and I usually score one more question as an I than as an E. There's a reason. Some of the I/E questions ask about things like fear of public speaking and standing up for yourself - I score those as an E. Other questions ask about playing well with others and whether you like to work in groups or alone - I score those as an I. :shrug:

I'm still a bit stunned that so many people here scored INTJ though since I've always been given to understand we are the rarest of the types.

[curse10]

52. I'm stunned as well

And I score the same as you :-) I have no fear of speaking in public, but I don't socialize much. I hate meeting new people. But I can me more extraverted with people I'm very, very comfortable with. My family and close friends. :-)

As for the number of INTJs, I don't think this is a good environemtn for test taking. These online exams probably aren't all that accurate. I've actually taken the real myers-brigg twice, and scoer INTJ both times. I took a home version a few years ago and scored only slightly different.

[Wapsie B]

46. INTJ here!

Masterminds unite!

[Mz Pip]

23. INFJ

The discription seems about right.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Discord]

38. I'm an iNTj type.

For being in the %1 of the population... we seem to have alot of them here. LOL

See. Democrats are the REAL elites!

:kick:

[xmas74]

53. I thought that was odd too.

I am one too and I have only met one other in real life (I had the test done years ago in college).
They tend to be activist types, so maybe that explains it.

[Discord]

76. your probably right.

I don't think I've met another one in person before, but I would bet that a few people I've talked to online might fit a similar type. I never really considered myself an activist though, well not until recently anyways. Maybe it was just that nothing got me quite riled up enough until recently to get me to be more active.

[xmas74]

77. I really think that it is the mentality of the people who post here.

We may joke around here, but we are all passionate to a certain extent about politics and the world around us. If we weren't then we never would have looked around here in the first place.

[Discord]

81. Your right.

Thats certainly what brought me here.

[xmas74]

83. Same here.

[Solly Mack]

40. INTP

[blue neen]

44. ESFP

A party person, I guess!

[emma_jane]

45. INFP

It made so much sense when I read the INFP profile after taking the test.
I've never met another INFP.

[FrankBooth]

47. INFP also

and I was pretty amazed at the accuracy of the description.

[emma_jane]

48. Pleased to make your aquaintance...

Fellow INFPer.


;-)

[CBHagman]

67. I'm an INFP, too.

Did you look at the percentages of DUers listing themselves as INFP above? Amazing. It was 26 percent when I made my vote.

One of my friends is an INFP, and it's fun to watch us try to decide on a movie. We're both so accommodating of each other's moods.

[LynzM]

69. Same here

The first time I read the description, it blew me away. Right down to the types of books I like to read, and why. WOW. There sure are a LOT of INFPs here!

[Radical Activist]

85. I'm INFP and I have met a good number of other INFP's

They are much more common if you hang out with issue activists and people who work for non-profit agencies.

[Blue_In_AK]

49. I am a mastermind. You will obey...

INTJ here, heavy on the I and N.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

50. Wow-mostly Introverts on this thread

very few of us "E's"

[Dastard Stepchild]

51. I'm INFP...

What an interesting thread. This was a neat idea.

[Spider Jerusalem]

54. INTP/J (it varies)

Taken the test before, and my perceiving/judging preference is always about a 49-51% split and goes either way depending on when I take the test...

[DemExpat]

55. INFJ here - taken test several times. Description fits very well.

:hi:

DemEx

[Melissa G]

56. INTP married to an INTJ ...twice...n/t

[HeatherG.]

57. INFJ

It describes me very well. I wasn't expecting that.

[musette_sf]

58. where ENTP at?!?! (eom)

[JohnKleeb]

59. Ok guys I finally got my results

INFJ and ISFP.

[LSdemocrat]

60. ISTJ

[Hans Delbrook]

61. I'm both ISTJ and ESTJ

but since there were no other ESTJ's checking in - I picked that one.

[rox63]

62. I changed type in 3 of the 4 categories

The first time I took the test was about 10 years ago, and I scored as an ISTJ at that time. I took it again last year, and I am now an INFP. Still an introvert, but I flipped type in all the other categories. I really think the introvert/extrovert thing is hard-wired into our brains, and it would take some sort of major trauma to change that aspect of our personalities.

[benny05]

70. been erased..

[loudestchick]

63. This is me

You are:
slightly expressed extrovert 1%

very expressed intuitive personality 99%

moderately expressed feeling personality 78%

slightly expressed judging personality 11%

[supernova]

65. INTJ in the HOUSE!

:D

Call me Mastermind!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

68. I'm an INFJ. Here's a link to a neat page I found...

that has a lot of information on these personality types. There's a link that explains what the letters mean. Also, there's information about ideal mates according to temperament. I found it kind of interesting.

http://www.westonkaanimalhospital.com/myersbriggs/personhome.htm

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

71. It seems most of us have the IN part in common.

Here's a link that says a little about what the IN characteristic means.
http://www.westonkaanimalhospital.com/myersbriggs/4quadrants.htm

[YankeyMCC]

72. Interesting

A majority of the people answering this poll on a Web site where people "hang out" with other people without actually physically being with other people are....Introverts. :shrug:

I don't know for sure but there might be something funny (humorous I mean) about that. :)

[fleabert]

74. exactly what I was thinking...very interesting huh?

I hope the thread stays up for a bit so we can get a whole lot of replys. I find it fascinating. ;-)

[Philosophy]

73. INTP

I guess.

[fleabert]

75. 66 introverts....14 extroverts.......very interesting. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

86. We introverts like to hang out anonymously on message boards.

It limits our exposure, and we don't have to actually "engage." :)

edit to add -- This is the truth. I go for literally DAYS without even leaving my house (I work at home), and I'm happy that way.

[KitchenWitch]

79. ENFJ

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

80. ENTJ

one that describes me pretty accurately...

[SCDem]

84. ENFP

and Myers Briggs has it right on

a champion of causes that is our character and it fits me to a T.

[kick-ass-bob]

87. Mostly IN

the other two are pretty indifferent usually TP, though, but barely.

I took the humanmetrics test and gave me these results:

Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
Strength of the preferences %
22 62 1 1

[kick-ass-bob]

88. This is a lot of INFJ's since only 1% of people are them.

"INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types."
