Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is an attempt to categorize your personality into one of sixteen different types. Obviously, people are individuals, and as such, the narrowing down to a mere 16 different types means that it's not necessarily all that reliable (also, it's somewhat anecdotal), but I'm curious to see what the distribution of people who take the test here in ZU is.

The sixteen types are based on four main traits:

Attitude: Introversion (I) vs Extraversion(E): Introverted people tend to focus more on concepts and ideas, spend lots of time reflecting and feel drained by too much social interaction, whereas extraverted people feel energized by talking to people, and focus on actions and objects.

Perception function: Sensing (S) vs Intuition (N): People who are type S prefer information that is tangible, solid and concrete. People who are type N prefer abstract ideas and concepts.

Judging function: Feeling (F) vs Thinking (T): People who are type F tend to rely more on emotions and empathy when making a judgement, whereas people who are type T are more detached and logical.

Lifestyle: Judgement (J) vs Perception (P): People who are type J tend to rely more on the judging function (ie. feeling or thinking) than type P people, who give more importance to the perception function (sensing or intuition).

Personally, I've consistently scored as an INTJ in pretty much every Myers-Briggs test I've taken (most online, although one was actually a professional test).

You can take an online version of the test here. It's rather long, however - a much quicker one (but probably less accurate) may be found here.

I took the longer test and scored ISFP. Seems about right.

I got INFP. Apparently that's the same as Shakespeare and "Mary, mother of Jesus".

It's weird how at the time I'm on this forum, I'm re-taking the test after being introduced to it on a different forum site and on that site's specific thread about this test.

You visit other forums behind our backs? GET OUT. We don't need your kind around here.

On that note, I'm ENFJ:
- slightly expressed extrovert
- moderately expressed intuitive personality
- moderately expressed feeling personality
- slightly expressed judging personality

Apparently I have the same mindset as Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Clara Barton and Ronald Reagan. Interesting.

I'm sorry! It's just Last Airbender Fans, nothing completely against ZU.

And now you're advertising for the forum! You are SHAMELESS.

In any case, what result did you get?

I'm not finished with the retake of the test yet. I'm too distracted by other threads here on ZU.

I am ISFP, I think its kinda close maybe. Elvis and Princess DIana share this type.

* distinctively expressed introvert
* moderately expressed sensing personality
* distinctively expressed feeling personality
* slightly expressed perceiving personality

INFJ. Meh.

Bravo: I sure hope not.

I got ENTP

I got ENTP, but I predicted I would get ISFP. Interesting.

Last time I took this test a couple of years ago, I turned up as an INTP. However, I'm not particularly sure what I am anymore. I think it tends to change a lot depending on my mood; furthermore, my perception of myself may be very different from my actual behaviour.

I was going to make a thread about this when I found the time.

I am an INTJ.

Hello lesser beings.

I have no clue what that means.

I've never heard of those people.

Haha, Computer Programming. Yes.


Famous peeps: Stephen Hawking, Andrew Grove, Marie Curie, Guy Kawasaki, Igor Sikorsky, Hillary Clinton

Marie Curie rocks.



I've known I was an INTJ for awhile, but I figured I'd take it again just to make sure nothing's changed much.
