Myer Briggs, Myer Briggs (personality testing)
 

Ok. Who is what letter combination?


I find it quite fascinating--when you read the descriptions of your personality type, shockingly accurate (at least for me). I believe others will find this just as interesting. Or not. But that's just like your opinion, man. Also make sure you post a quick description (you can find them all over online), so that people have reference.

Also I suggest when you find out go and do some internet reading about what this means about you/what this means about who you are compatible with/ect. It will make your narcissism bone giggle with joy :)


I'll start. My type=ENFP (Social Scientist)

Basically I am super intuitive concerning peoples emotions and states of mind. I love human relationships and am super warm and enthusiastic. I get super close to people and then get super forgetful about their importance in my life. I also love thinking about things as a whole, and hate details of life such as being on time, organization, ect. Makes me miserable. My favorite thing in the world to do is break down people's walls and get to know what their deliciously, scrumptious core is all about. The harder it is to get to that core the more interested I am in them. I am always involved in a situation, but at the same time very distant from it so that I can analyze its true nature. It makes me appear very spacey to people, I think. I often tend to say things just so that I can watch people react so that I can better understand their motives and their inner-core. Life is beautiful and exciting.


Here is the professionally written profile of an ENFP:

Outwardly to others an ENFP may seem like a happy chappy. They are easy going, easily pleased and interested in everything around them; especially people. They really enjoy listening to others, and to move the conversation along they can be quite revealing of their own experiences to get the other person to open up. It seems as if they give themselves away completely, but this is not quite true. The ENFP has dimensions to him or herself that are never revealed to anyone except for a very close and trusted companion.

Don’t be fooled entirely by an ENFP’s interest in you, though. ENFPs are genuinely interested in people, but are also very interested in patterns of social behavior. ENFPs are a social scientist. They don’t need formulas and charts to be keep track of their findings. Information on the motivations and needs of people are constantly being added to the interior laboratory of ideas. They will subtly test their subjects with questions and actions designed almost subconsciously to provoke a response. The split nature of the ENFP is to be involved and at the same time uninvolved, observing their ‘subject’ not unlike protozoa under a microscope.

If you listen long enough they will probably contradict all the things that they spoke so strongly about giving a completely different point of view. The ENFP is aware of the contradiction, but knows that there are many ways to view a subject and do not like to cancel out an opposing view too strongly. Despite any outward confidence they need reassurance that they are OK the way they are. Sometimes they find friends among people others consider misfits, nerds or eccentrics.


ENFPs often don’t realize the impact they can have on other people. They can quickly create a feeling of intimacy by their very personal approach. Problems arise when people become too possessive of the ENFPs time an attention.

Just as they see potential in others they see potential in themselves. They want desperately to actualize that potential to benefit not only them, but to set a good example for others to follow. They desire so much (too much?) and envision a sweet life where all the elements come together with friends, family, intimacy, sex, music, good food and freedom to pursue new worlds. Their striving for this utopia seems like pipe dreams to others and ENFPs know it. Still they cannot give up as their intuition pulls them headlong into the future.

The greatest source and motivation for learning for the ENFP will come from other people. In school they will learn calculus to please a teacher they admire even though they are not naturally drawn to such subjects. ENFPs love to learn and when young are like sponges. Sometimes their brain runs so fast and continuous they can’t sleep at night.


When a person or situation no longer carries any new information an ENFP may begin to loose interest and become bored.

Friendship with ENFPs can be a problem if you need a lot of consistency. They are there, full of life and personal attention and then they might be gone for days or weeks even months without much contact. When they show up again they like to pick up right where they left off. Then as mysteriously as they came they disappear again. Usually they are either two places, at home trying to catch up on all the work they’ve avoided or with other people somewhere. They find a great deal in life fascinating. Their enthusiasm to experience it all makes them restless and independent. They know they are different from most others around them and this makes them despondent occasionally. When all is said and done ENFPs want to shower affection upon someone who loves them and accepts them for who they really are, warts and all.

I am so not surprised your J is so strong.

I am ENFP also.

Thanks?

Js stress me out. Sorry. Just the rigidity in thinking, and unwillingness to compromise unless you have provided a million facts to the contrary and even then they seem unwilling to let go of their believes. They also love arguing and conflict (like you seem to), and I avoid it at pretty much all costs.

I'm an INFP - I'm actually a part of a forum that has to do solely with MBTI personality types. Don't post on there often, but it's seriously bizarre to post in the forum of your personality type and read these people talking about their quirks and whatnot...and realizing they sound JUST LIKE YOU.

Awww. I'm part of a forum for personality types too! Which one?

I have mad, mad love for INFPs (as I date one currently), and it is the happiest, most compatible loving relationship ever.

If INFPs decide they care about you they are the most loyal, dedicating and loving friend ever. They just rarely decide they care about you.

They are also complex beasts, which i'm a huge fan of :).

this is mine.

Holy ****. you must never be on time, anywhere.

PersonalityCafe. I've been on there for a while, but I post on this forum way way more. I just like reading a lot of the posts on there. It's weird, because it's so like me!

I remember mines being ISTP

maybe later I will re-take it from that one site to see the exact percentages.

Took it again to get the actual percentages.

Your Type is
INFP
Introverted: 78%
Intuitive: 100%
Feeling: 82%
Perceiving: 79%

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:
- very expressed introvert

- very expressed intuitive personality

- very expressed feeling personality

- very expressed perceiving personality

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.

Healers have a profound sense of idealism that comes from a strong personal sense of right and wrong. They conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place, full of wondrous possibilities and potential goods. In fact, to understand Healers, we must understand that their deep commitment to the positive and the good is almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. Set off from the rest of humanity by their privacy and scarcity, Healers can often feel even more isolated in the purity of their idealism.

Also, Healers might well feel a sense of separation because of their often misunderstood childhood. Healers live a fantasy-filled childhood-they are the prince or princess of fairy tales-an attitude which, sadly, is frowned upon, or even punished, by many parents. With parents who want them to get their head out of the clouds, Healers begin to believe they are bad to be so fanciful, so dreamy, and can come to see themselves as ugly ducklings. In truth, they are quite OK just as they are, only different from most others-swans reared in a family of ducks.

At work, Healers are adaptable, welcome new ideas and new information, are patient with complicated situations, but impatient with routine details. Healers are keenly aware of people and their feelings, and relate well with most others. Because of their deep-seated reserve, however, they can work quite happily alone. When making decisions, Healers follow their heart not their head, which means they can make errors of fact, but seldom of feeling. They have a natural interest in scholarly activities and demonstrate, like the other Idealists, a remarkable facility with language. They have a gift for interpreting stories, as well as for creating them, and thus often write in lyric, poetic fashion. Frequently they hear a call to go forth into the world and help others, a call they seem ready to answer, even if they must sacrifice their own comfort.

Very interesting. I had forgotten mine but took the one that was shown earlier. We've got another INFP in the house! The breakdown was:

63% Introverted
84% Intuitive
89% Feeling
74% Perceiving.

I find it interesting that, although only 2% of the population are INFP, it seems that most of us (at least a lot of us) on this thread are INFP! I guess I shouldn't be suprised that people with enough passion for music to join a forum like this would fall into this catagory. Anyway, it's nice to be in the same group as Paloma, The Phanastasio, and Dayvan Cowboy!

After seeing you guys' percentages I feel like all of my percentages are really low. They're all less than 50% :confused:

How do they classify us in a certain category if the percentage is less than 50%? Wouldn't that by default make us the opposite, seeing as how each category only has 2 possible choices?

I have no clue, but the "Thinking" one is an extreme anomaly, it's 12% for fuck's sake. I think I need that one explained.

Which test did you take?

I took THIS free one, per a Google search.

^^ Yup, I took the same one.

Hmm, I was kinda thinking it looked like the opposite of your actual result, because all of my ESTJ percentages were around that range?

But either way, I went looking for this in an old Saturday Six Pack thread, because I remember asking

jsyk!

Yes! I remember doing it and I got ENFJ, but I decided to redo it! To get the actual percentages, and I got the T instead of the F. But all of my percentages are really low. When I used to do it before, I used to get INFJ sometimes as well. The introverted and the extroverted were always 50:50 =/

I think it's definitely the nature of the forum - a lot of the people I know who are really into music have NF in the MBTI somewhere. Not necessarily INFP, But definitely a lot of NFs who are way into the arts.

I've actually done this before and got a INTJ (that was just before school ended a few months ago)

I took it again just now and got INTP. This time my P rating was 11. Before my J rating was single digits... not sure what that means... either way I obviously thought about the questions differently this time.

Edit: Just did it again and got INTP again after reading the question very very closely.

yeah my J/P part changed from when I took it in the past so now I'm

Do you like History? I have a theory i'm trying to solidify.

^ My boyfriend's an INTP, he loves history.

Every INTP I know talks me to death in history. Almost every night I play Jeopardy with this INTP I know, and for history questions i'll say the answer and then he says the answer in the original Latin and throw in whatever back-story he has time for.

It is exhausting.

Ya I love history... I think your theory may be correct...

Looks like I'm an...

Description:
The Architect

Seems you got some pretty low percentages too, all below 50.

Can anyone explain the basis for choosing these letters then?

Ok. Percentages have to do with how much you lean towards a certain tenancy associated with that letter.

For example. My E is like at 3% meaning I have a combination of I and E tenancies, but I lean more towards having E tenancies. I require more time alone than an person with 80% E. Another difference is that because I am very close to being an 'I' I have a tendency to internalize my thoughts more than a person with 80% E.

Each of the two letter pairings have minute difference like that depending on where on the scale you lay. It really can make a difference in your personality too. And make you have strong traits of another letter combination even though your traits are largely associated with one letter combination.

I think those numbers are the amount by which you lean in the direction of that letter. For example, if your first letter comes up as "I 10%" that means that you scored 45% for E and 55% for I.

At least that's how I think it works.

I've done this sort of test before and I find it highly flawed. Yes, some aspects are spot on, most are questionable, and some are flat out wrong. Tarot cards. Zodiac signs. Just vague enough to apply to anyone.

Whether or not you find it accurate also depends on what type of person you are, amusingly enough. Some will focus on what's right, others on what's wrong. Some are skeptics, others believers who will interpret the information to fit them, sometimes drawing long shots.
