Personality Test

[Jay82]

I decided to take the test. Like all previous (similar) tests, I have always come up as an ENTJ.

Your Type is
ENTJ
Extraverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
Strength of the preferences %
89 62 38 44

I guess I go against the grain when it comes to the results posted so far.

[KindredSoul]

I = 33
N = 50
F = 50
J = 1

I believe I've taken the test before and gotten INFP. Evidently I'm really borderline on the J vs. P area. That probably explains why, when reading both the descriptions of the Idealist Counselor (INFJ) and Idealist Healer (INFP) I was able to think: "THAT'S ME!" for both of them.

The terms used do not have the same meaning we would normally give them. For example, "introvert" does not mean "shy."

OK, so here's a bit more about each of the distinctions. These quotes are from Wikipedia -- not the most reliable source, but it's succinct.

Introvert (I) or Extravert (E)

The terms extravert and introvert are used in a special sense when discussing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. People who prefer extraversion draw energy from action: they tend to act, then reflect, then act further. If they are inactive, their level of energy and motivation tends to decline. Conversely, those whose prefer introversion become less energized as they act: they prefer to reflect, then act, then reflect again. People who prefer introversion need time out to reflect in order to rebuild energy.

The extravert's flow is directed outward toward people and objects, and the introvert's is directed inward toward concepts and ideas. There are several contrasting characteristics between extraverts and introverts: extraverts are action-oriented and desire breadth, while introverts are thought-oriented and seek depth. Extraverts often prefer more frequent interaction, while introverts prefer more substantial interaction.[18]

Intuitive (N) or Sensing (S)

Sensing and Intuition are the information-gathering (perceiving) functions. They describe how new information is understood and interpreted. Individuals who prefer sensing are more likely to trust information that is in the present, tangible and concrete: that is, information that can be understood by the five senses. They tend to distrust hunches that seem to come out of nowhere. They prefer to look for details and facts. For them, the meaning is in the data. On the other hand, those who prefer intuition tend to trust information that is more abstract or theoretical, that can be associated with other information (either remembered or discovered by seeking a wider context or pattern). They may be more interested in future possibilities. They tend to trust those flashes of insight that seem to bubble up from the unconscious mind. The meaning is in how the data relates to the pattern or theory.

Feeling (F) or Thinking (T)

Thinking and Feeling are the decision-making (judging) functions. The thinking and feeling functions are both used to make rational decisions, based on the data received from their information-gathering functions (sensing or intuition). Those who prefer thinking tend to decide things from a more detached standpoint, measuring the decision by what seems reasonable, logical, causal, consistent and matching a given set of rules. Those who prefer feeling tend to come to decisions by associating or empathizing with the situation, looking at it 'from the inside' and weighing the situation to achieve, on balance, the greatest harmony, consensus and fit, considering the needs of the people involved.

Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

Myers and Briggs held that types with a preference for judging show the world their preferred judging function (thinking or feeling). So TJ types tend to appear to the world as logical, and FJ types as empathetic. According to Myers,[1]:75 judging types prefer to "have matters settled." Those types ending in P show the world their preferred perceiving function (sensing or intuition). So SP types tend to appear to the world as concrete and NP types as abstract. According to Myers,[1]:75 perceiving types prefer to "keep decisions open."

Hope this helps some

I am a 'Healer'
Healers present a calm and serene face to the world, and can seem shy, even distant around others. But inside they're anything but serene, having a capacity for personal caring rarely found in the other types. Healers care deeply about the inner life of a few special persons, or about a favorite cause in the world at large. And their great passion is to heal the conflicts that trouble individuals, or that divide groups, and thus to bring wholeness, or health, to themselves, their loved ones, and their community.


It did a pretty good job at describing me

Hello all,

I suppose this thread has been inactive for quite awhile.

I have taken the test twice and both times I turned out to be an INFJ.

This fits perfectly with my work as a development economist, as well as my charity work in general. My wife took the test recently and also got an INFJ result. Obviously, it is quite puzzling that so many Roman Catholics seem be in that personality category.

Hello All
I don't visit this group very often...I tend to forget that this forum is here....sorry
I just took the personality test and my score is
I=22 S=38 F=50 and J=67
So now what? Is there a knight in not so shiny armor out there that is of similar or tolerant to my scoring? When I say "not so shiny" I mean of the older than 40 some age group....maybe older than late 40's group.....
that's where I am.
I hope all is well with you in this group.

Was searching around these boards and this thread caught my attention as it is generally one of my main interests.

My results:
INFJ
Introverted - 78%
Intuitive - 25%
Feeling - 38%
Judging - 95%

Overall it doesn't surprise me. I took this test a few years ago and had the same type but I scored 90+ intuition and only moderately as a judger. It seems that as my life goes by I trust my intuition less and become more rigid in my ways of thinking. Enrolling in college as an engineering student since then might have something to do it....
