The Devil's Advocate
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):
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
Here's a much shorter inventory based on self-reporting:
http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html
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.
