Myers Briggs Type Inventory (experience, recall, preferences)

[lilithu]

Sometimes I have watched two people whom I like/admire really tick each other off. And I've experienced not getting along with people who seem perfectly reasonable when interacting with others. At these times, we tend to get frustrated and start accusing the other party of bad intentions. But I think usually this is not the case. Usually, we are coming into these debates with different assumptions and different ways of viewing the world, BUT we are assuming that everyone else thinks the same way that we do.

The Myers Briggs Personality Type Inventory says that we perceive things differently based on our MB type. And that people of different types can come into conflict based on these different expectations of each other.

There have been threads on Myers-Briggs before but I do not recall one with a poll.

I am curious to see what our member's different types are like; whether we are skewed towards any particular areas, and whether we can identify patterns between MB type and the way that we "debate" online.

So please, if you have the time, answer the questions in the following page and report your type in the poll. Or if you have taken the inventory before and already know your type. And if anyone feels that the site did not report their personality accurately, go with your own feeling of what you are. It is probably more accurate. Tho it would be interesting to hear how the inventory differed from your own perceptions.

I chose this one because it seemed the most comprehensive (ie - long):

Here's a much shorter inventory based on self-reporting:

Please note that since there weren't enough options in the poll for all 16 types, I omitted the I/E dimension, since introversion and extroversion probably do not play as much a factor in our online interactions here as the other dimensions. (Then again, I may be wrong about that!) But please feel free to report what you are in that respect.

I'll start. I am INTP.

• distinctively expressed introvert
• highly expressed intuitive personality
• slightly expressed thinking personality
• moderately expressed perceiving personality

I've taken this test at least 10 times and I always get the same thing, so I'm not taking it again, no offense. I'm an INTJ...introverted-intuition-thinking-judgment.

I'll take the test again- the last few times I've taken it, I've been an INFP. Maybe it'll say something different this time.

Qualitative analysis of your type formula
You are:

• distinctively expressed extrovert
• distinctively expressed intuitive personality
• moderately expressed feeling personality
• slightly expressed perceiving personality

I've taken this test many times and the only category that changes is the last one.....from perceiving to judging. Usually the numbers are quite low.

[uu_sage]

I am (drum roll please).....an ENFP

[lizskid]

ENFJ

slightly expressed extrovert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
distinctively expressed judging personality

It's that judging thing that scares me, as I really try NOT to judge all the time.
I think it's more an issue of following guidelines/rules in my OCD type that got this rating. LOL More than you wanted to know?

[Feathers in Hair]

Nope, INFP again. Some of the descriptions do seem to apply to me.

You are:

• very expressed introvert
• distinctively expressed intuitive personality
• very expressed feeling personality
• moderately expressed perceiving personality

I enjoyed the summaries that the site links to, especially this one. The description of a person who names and creates personalities for their stuffed animals and have sympathy, no matter how illogical, for almost anyone seem to be both the things I enjoy most about and the things I wish I could change about myself.

INTJ

The outline really fits me to a "T", lol. http://typelogic.com/intj.html

JFK, Rumsfeld and Gandalf, eh. Strange bedfellows.
