I am not much of a psych person, but has anybody ever taken the test? I've taken them online quite frequently and almost always end up as an INTJ, the "Mastermind". Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 2.1% of total population. What's even funnier is that apparently I am attracted to INFJs, the rarest of all the personality types (probably why I have trouble finding women I really click with).

Just curious as to what some other EBers were, or if any of you guys were familiar with the test...
-
I'm an INTJ, and I tend to date ENTPs or ENFJs. Despite being a small percentage of the population, there's a lot of INTJs being anti-social on message boards, baby!

ENFP. Lolz THE CHAMPION.
ENFPs are initiators of change who are keenly perceptive of possibilities, and who energize and stimulate through their contagious enthusiasm. They prefer the start-up phase of a project or relationship, and are tireless in the pursuit of new-found interests. ENFPs are able to anticipate the needs of others and to offer them needed help and appreciation. They bring zest, joy, liveliness, and fun to all aspects of their lives. They are at their best in situations that are fluid and changing, and that allow them to express their creativity and use their charisma. They tend to idealize people, and can be disappointed when reality fails to fullful their expectations. They are easily frustrated if a project requires a great deal of follow up or attention to detail.
edit: the myers briggs descrip is actually much more balanced.

INTP
I love the cute little nicknames they give for the personality types. You are EPMX THE GIGANTULATOR!

Too many questions, I'm ABCD

I'm INFP. Weird to think that you would be what I'm like, if I were female and more extroverted. Seriously, I don't know if the tests mean much. The school made us take the test to anticipate possible academic weaknesses but I seriously doubt it did anything for anyone. It was the only test we enjoy taking though. lol The environment and people can do much to change one's inherent personality.
Too many questions, I'm ABCD
:lol That's why you got sent to the special school.

The tests are used by HR departments sometimes, and my results were fairly consistent with things I have known about myself, but...you know. Corporate entities do lots of useless things.
-
INFJ - "Author". Strong drive and enjoyment to help others. Complex personality. 1.5% of total population.
INFJs value their integrity a great deal. They are generally "doers" as well as great dreamers. They have high expectations of themselves and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. They do this through total trust of their intuition. They believe in constant growth and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. INFJs are proud of their authenticity, respectful of their benevolence, confident of their empathy. They also are constantly in a state of self-renewal.
Preferred type: ENFJ
Rarest personality type; estimated 2% of population.
* private
* sensitive
* quiet leaders
* great depth of personality - intricately and deeply woven, mysterious, and highly complex, sometimes puzzling even themselves
* introverted
* abstract in communicating
* live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities - part of an unusually rich inner life
* abstract in communicating
* artistic (and natural affinity for art), creative, and easily inspired
* very independent
* orderly view towards the world but within themself arranged in a chaotic, complex way only they could understand
interesting test... guess i'm "different" :lol

Yeah, but you consciously or even subconsciously do stuff to compensate for quirks in your personality. So if you do stuff that's not really part of your inherent personality, then are your inherent personality traits really part of your true nature? ??? Psychiatry/psychology are interesting but they also seem like a bunch of illogical BS sometimes. I guess that's why it's the least popular specialty. Hollywood made Psychiatry glamorous but in reality, it's at the bottom of the list for most aspiring doctors.

Fuk that. I hate that crap. My friend's brother is a genius who graduated from MIT but since he got converted to Scientology, he's been donating every dime he makes to the "church". He remained loyal to Scientology even when his whole family threatened to disown him.
Also, a lot of doctors really look down on Psychiatrists and as far as I know, most of them are not scientologists. Many people just don't choose to be Psychiatrists, simpy because of the prestige, or lack thereof.

He's trying to take over the forum for his dark lord xenu! :o

INTP, attracted to ENTP
INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population
That seems accurate. Everyone bitches at me about criticizing shows and movies, but I think I'm fairly good at it, and more importantly, it entertains me. My actualized type is identical to my preferred type, too. So I guess I am largely who I want to be. . . :(
-
INFJ, and apparently i have psychic powers according to the last wacko MB variant i took. me and bluetsunami -- the other INFJ around here -- were gonna burst some heads scanners-style, but laziness triumphed over DER WILLE ZER MACHT. lucky for you feggits, i guess! :punch :-*

Do I? You don't know me, ese.
So if you do stuff that's not really part of your inherent personality, then are your inherent personality traits really part of your true nature? ???
Everything you do is based on judgements you make. You make them whether you're aware of it or not, and you make them based on your own internal frame of reference. I'm not really sure how you could do something contrary to your "true nature" without being aware you are doing it.
Ur doubletalk confuses me.
-
on top of that, people take these tests and then start to act MORE like the parameters expressed in their evaluation. you see this post-management training all the time. POWER OF SUGGESTION.

hm, this test said i was ENFJ. fuck 'em! i have different degrees of feeling on different subjects at any given point in time. I AM NOT A NUMBER. I AM A MAN.
-
INFP - "Questor". High capacity for caring. Emotional face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 4.4% of total population.
Apparently I'm attracted to -ENFP - "Journalist". Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama. 8.1% of total population.
lulz.
-
This one asks like the same 10 questions over and over.
-
ISTJ, attracted to ISTJ
ISTJ - "Trustee". Decisiveness in practical affairs. Guardian of time- honored institutions. Dependable. 11.6% of total population.
ISTJs are quiet and reserved individuals who are interested in security and peaceful living. They have a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends them a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in their approach, they can generally succeed at any task which they undertake.
ISTJs are very loyal, faithful, and dependable. They place great importance on honesty and integrity. They are "good citizens" who can be depended on to do the right thing for their families and communities. While they generally take things very seriously, they also usually have an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.
Best describes me:
The ISTJ will work for long periods of time and put tremendous amounts of energy into doing any task which they see as important to fulfilling a goal. However, they will resist putting energy into things which don't make sense to them, or for which they can't see a practical application. They prefer to work alone, but work well in teams when the situation demands it. They like to be accountable for their actions, and enjoy being in positions of authority. The ISTJ has little use for theory or abstract thinking, unless the practical application is clear.
It's almost impossible for me to sit down and do something if I don't see any point in doing it. I also hate working with people but will do it to reach my desired end goal.
-
ISFJ - "Conservator". Desires to be of service and to minister to individual needs - very loyal. 13.8% of total population.
I aim to please, people.

would you be my slave? :-[

Do I? You don't know me, ese.
You, as in general people, not Cyanista. And don't call me ese, I'm not a beaner. :)

It confuses me too. That's my pt.

OMG OKCupid says I'm INTP. Paradigm shift total.
Also, I gave my dating answer based on actual girls I've known and Meyers-Brigged. Heh heh.
I think I need to just take the test from the scratch.

I don't need any test to tell that you're a pretty interesting character.

They bring zest, joy, liveliness, and fun to all aspects of their lives.
yet, you bring the exact opposite to the forum.
yeah, I went there. Let's box :punch
-
Okay, the test linked says I'm an INTJ who prefers ENTPs, which is as expected (and stated earlier).
However it also says I'm an adapted/preferred ESTJ, which I haven't seen before.
Also, apparently this is splitting hairs:
Actualized type: INTJ
Introverted (I) 56.67% Extroverted (E) 43.33%
Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50%
Thinking (T) 55.56% Feeling (F) 44.44%
Judging (J) 51.61% Perceiving (P) 48.39%
I guess my chi is in balance.
My biggest mismatch was the E in prefer-to-date ENTPs, which was an 80/20 landslide. What can I say, this introvert likes bubbly girls.
EDIT: It's a good thing Keith isn't going after the same dating pool as I am, or we'd have to bust some heads.

Never doubt that I'm having fun, peaches.

Patel, where's the mismatch? The test says that you like E girls, which you say is true. The percentages you showed were for yourself, right?

I know you can do better than that.

by mismatch I mean tilting one way or another. imbalance? most of my answers, for both myself and others, were in the 52/48 range.

Well better to find out now than after 200 hours of trying to date chicks
-
patel's not gay, he just wants a strap-on -- driven by a luscious lady of the yellow persuasion -- in his porthole! see this week's savage love to determine if you, too, are a man who wants a little physical extroversion in his introversion!
-
Prole, did you ever try to see if you have psychic powers? They might be right, you know.
-
if i did have them, why would i tell anyone? or would i

Stop trying to manipulate my mind, you asshole. I'm immune to Jedi tricks.

it would seem so! :o

INTJ, same as when I took the test my freshman year of college. 2% of the population and I'm apparently attracted to a much better version of myself while wanted to be more normal (a variant of myself that's 11.6% of the population). How sad.
-
I'm the only ISTJ here? :'(

Oh god, apparently I want to be more like PD.
