I started paying attention to that when I started dating after my divorce. It was somewhat helpful in determining who to take a pass on at times.

Me: an ENFJ.

It depends upon how much I have had to drink when I take the test.

INTP logician. I am apparently rare and weird. And I like it that way lol

Mine said I'm an azzhole.

I'd say it is fairly accurate.

Yeah, me too. I took it after drinking, and I came out ENTJ. But I'm right close to 50 percentile between T & J.

Pop psychology very successfully marketed.

Exactly, Wifey says I’m more fun!

My dad and older son are INTJs, which are the rarest. Einstein was an INTP. INTJs and INTPs are some of my best friends, and my fiance is an INTP.

It's amazing how well the ENFJ profile describes my past--both the positive and negative. I think it's pretty useful.

I was dating an ESFJ for a couple of months, and she started showing signs of that type that don't mesh well with mine. She was gorgeous, and a great person, but that made it easier to move on to someone with whom I'm more compatible.

I’ve taken that several times. I’m on the border of a couple. I think for me at least, it’s situational.

Tests aren't validated by anecdotes of how well the results appear to match individuals. It requires large samples and proper controls. The fact that you believe it is useful indicates how successfully it has been marketed.

When my job involved the purchase or contracting of various tests, I rejected any marketing that was supported by testimonials. I wanted to see the actual validation studies.

Tests like this do make for interesting discussions as in group meetings, but the problem arises when they are given too much credence and are used for such purposes as making hiring decisions.

Curious what they were. Doesn't matter as far as how I would treat anyone, but the best friends I've had for decades before I even heard of MB all have fairly close MB types. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Don’t recall which components. It’s been years since the last time.

To each his own. I know a lot of people with extreme intelligence and awareness that aren't susceptible to Jedi-mind-trick marketing who find it pretty interesting.

I'm guessing you're an I N _ _.

Like I need another test!

I never said it wasn't interesting. I said it was of unproven validity, and it has nothing to do with the intelligence and awareness of anybody.

Do you have a graduate degree in psychometrics? There are established standards for the use of psychological tests.

I should have known better than to comment here.

Like you said, to each his own. Carry on.

Interesting! Those are really really rare and, in my experience, generally very smart.

INTJ strongly defined in all the factors.

Nope. Law. But I can think fairly well. I don't have an MD either, but some MDs have have gotten medical issues completely wrong that I understood correctly. Degrees aren't always the end of the answer. And the MB tests have been around for a really long time and evolved over time.

Interesting. INTJs are, I think, about 0.5 percent of the pop.

+1

marginally useful exercise to get people to think about the fact that what they think of as reality is flavored by aspects of their own personality, and the same is true for everyone else.

It immediately goes off the rails (IME) when almost everyone seizes it as a reason they are right.

You're both off subject, but I started a new thread to give you a place to vent about the defects in the MB stuff: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/15695293#Post15695293

I don't have a degree in law, but I have had a fair amount of legal training, but that doesn't qualify me to address legal issues with any authority. Would you consult a psychologist on legal matters? If you are a lawyer, research the statutes and case law on psychological testing, particularly for decisions involving employment.

The problem with a test like MB isn't its informal use to facilitate discussion, it's that too many people are so sold on it that it is used to make decisions about individuals. That is unethical and, under certain circumstances, illegal.

I'm out of this discussion.

Does Myers Briggs factor in how you "identify"
Say you "identify" as a Viking warrior, but are working in a gyno-tatership...

How does that affect your score?

Thanks for posting.

In this day and time why would I voluntarily want to click the buttons on my keyboard for anything like that?
Am I just being paranoid if they are really after me/

No, they really are after you.

A lot of thought went into this from people with all the requisite degrees. I didn't create it. They did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16PF_Questionnaire

INFJ all the way through four years of seminary...no idea what I'd score now...really don't care either.

I guess I'm joining your "crowd".

Grumpy old man!

I think it's great that you're commenting here.

I haven't taken the test, but I wonder what my being glad we have what appears to be a voice of reason here has to say about my personality,

And were those details accurate?

I took it some years ago, INTJ it claims. It did seem fairly accurate, especially some of the weaknesses.

They used to make good small engines, don't know if they still do.

Read it aloud with my wife sitting here.

We were cracking up.

Spot on says she.

Please do tell the result!

It said "Commander."

I didn't write down the code that you guys have been posting. I guess I should have.

Gee, that was a nice little ray of sunshine in the day.

Another way to categorise people, sheep dip!

Yeah that’s it!

Mine had the A suffix.

INTJ.

5 billion dollar a year company had all us managers tested years ago. Got a nice, spiral bound report back. Maybe 30 pages.

Was pretty spot on. Current company is 20x larger than that. We did the tests again. Same results. Tests taken 12 years apart.

Have a friend with advanced degrees in psychology- does research for a larger CPG company - 19 billion dollar CPG company.

He's considerably more positive about the MBT than others here. Along with family that also have advanced degrees in psychology.

Hmmmm....

Pretty interesting article about it's validity......or lack of it.

https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/does-the-myers-briggs-test-really-work/

I first met my fiance over the phone. After about 30 minutes, she told me my exact personality type. Asked me to take the test. Never heard of it before. I did, and she was 100% correct.

ISTPT

Load of bullshit, I took the test and it came up with the message " 'flave, piss off...you have already taken the test".

MarineHawk;
Good evening to you sir, I hope the day was a decent one for you and all you care about are well.

Thanks for the interesting thread, it makes for some thoughtful reading for sure.

I've done these a few times since at one point in my life in middle management I was in the HR field.

Pretty much consistently it's told me I'm ISTJ-A.

At one point in my working life I had a General Manager who was former Canadian Forces JTF2 and was taking his degree in some branch of Psychology. He had a bunch of us managers take a bit of a longer, more detailed Myers Briggs as part of his course.

After I'd filled out mine, he asked me if I'd answered carefully and as honestly as possible. When I assured him I had, he responded, "My could I have put you to work in my former life".

I believe it was mostly the strong sense of duty and Teutonic stubbornness coupled with the insensitivity.

When I was in high school the tests said the same thing, but when I talked to a Canadian Forces recruiter I was disqualified because of lasting physical damage from a car accident, so that wasn't a path I was able to go down in life.

Anyways, it's interesting how we've come out and what we deal with as far as personality traits for sure.

Thanks again and all the best.

INTP-A. It somewhat describes me but not all that accurately. Many of the questions I could go either way depending on what day of the week it is. Fun but kind of useless. I’m pretty clear headed about who I am. The good and the bad. Weaknesses I’ve addressed and others I struggle with.

Elitist Lib females drunk on white wine discuss personality types.

Why do you??

Boredom.

I know you are, but what am I?

Bored.

Past quizzes of this type have always placed me as ISTJ personality; this one says ISFJ-T. Different questions sometimes bring up different answers, but nothing really suprising. The overall descriptions of personality traits are fairly close to what l knew about myself without a little quiz, but these are fun when you're bored.

INTP here also. I tell people it’s an acronym for “pain in the a$$”.

Thanks for running me down tonight's rabbit hole. My first response was was an attempt at humor. I don't drink at all. I don't need to tell this group that adding alcohol to me is a bad idea.

I started by taking a 100 question test that pegged me ESTJ. Very slightly E. I took another test that pegged me ISTJ. Very slightly I. That is consistent with all the other tests I have taken over the years. My wife took a test. Then we took a test for the other person. She pegged me as an ISTJ. I pegged her very slightly different from the way she pegged herself. The good news is that it doesn't look like we are going to need a divorce lawyer.

Poppycock, and balderdash!

Took it again. Turned out.

It was very interesting, I'm a Logistician-A, wife of 42 years is an Adventurer-T. Many parts are very scary accurate. Others not so much. Seemed to have worked out however. We have raised two great kids and we are still together.

I'm lucky I've been able to work mostly by myself, at my age I'm not here to teach someone that won't learn or listen to someone's bullchit all day. I'm there to get the F'n job done. I have 3 contractors I do piece work for, the main one I do his foundations, footings then stem walls. Foundations are the chit end of the stick and I didn't think I'd end my career on them but for some reason they don't hurt my body as bad as bent over setting flatwork, pounding in stakes. Or finishing, bent over rodding, constant shoulder motion. Anyway, carrying 70lb panels is easy enough and I can set them in place standing up. I only have to bend over a couple hours per footing and then stem to tie the rebar in.

My buddy had a mexican crew do his stems for years, he does 2 to 4 houses a month so paid them to do his when they could. There was 5 guys and they could set a stem in a day, then after inspection would pour the concrete an afternoon, usually the next day. They screwed up enough stems that my buddy asked me to do them. He pays me the same as that crew per house. The only help he supplies is an hour of pouring the footing and same for the stem. I can set an average 250 lin ft house in a day plus the next morning before inspection and often can pour the same afternoon if the inspector comes before noon. 3 days on a big house... I wouldn't do it if I didn't get paid the same as the mex crew or just wages.

Every time at first when the general building the house saw I was a 1 man crew they were skeptical, then soon were happy when their framers said how bullet proof those foundations were and easy to build on. I might take a day longer on bigger houses but they don't gripe.

So like this job I did this week, the homeowner is a retired contractor from Oregon, nice enough guy but wants to talk shop... dude I have to work, no time for chit chat... he knew the drill cause I did a big RV garage on the house he bought, he's building a large house to sell now. His son comes from Oregon with the kids to help build the house, it's next door so he comes over all the time.

We do it this way in Oregon, why do you do it that way? like 10 different things from the footing to the walls... and where's all your help... I work by myself... it'll take you 2 weeks... nope 2 days... well in Oregon... they aren't me, I cut him off. I just kept working and hammering till he finally got the point and left.

You don't have to be a rancher, farmer, forest ranger ect to work by yourself, you can be grouchy and run folks off.

Kent

One has to find their niche. Mine is Project Engineering for radio, satellite, and TV systems.

Kent, my last job before retirement involved a lot of time spent on barges, taking care of fish and the pumps that kept the fish alive. And living on a tug that pushed the barges. The tugs had 4 in the crew, basically 2 working and 2 in their racks. Me, I had to check the fish on a particular schedule on the two day trip downriver, but that was all I had to live with. Eat with the crew at 0600, 1200, 1800. On the 2 day trip back up I had things that needed done and it was my choice as to how and when to do them. This went on from late April through August. The rest of the 8 months I worked every year I preferred to work the 1800-0600 shift so there was only me at the facility to do the work properly without interference from the bosses etc, of if not doing that job just please set me up on a barge alone to do maintenance while they weren't moving fish.

It fit my requirements quite nicely for the most part.

Glad you found a workable solution to life too.

Ya, my buddy has to have a hip replaced in a couple weeks, he turns 65 next november and for some reason thinks he needs to keep contracting till he can get on medicare. I've told him to quit, he's worth a couple million, can barely walk, can't stay away from the job, grab a shovel, rod a floor, pour a small chit job in the dyke trailer park... yes there are dyke only trailer parks... he's got it in his head he has to get to medicare.

I told him I'd do his foundations till then and the longest I'd go is the following april when I turned 65, then the wife and I are loading the 5th wheel and heading out each summer. I may work some during the winters but no more summers.

The only reason I still walk on the jobsite is cause I still can, like an old fighter that won't hang them up... I'd just get fat and old and wish I could instead of... 'I can'.

Yep, 66 in March, I am done. Time to enjoy what I have left of life. Second 20 after the Navy.

Some of this seems right

Adventurer personalities are true artists, but not necessarily in the typical sense where they’re out painting happy little trees. Often enough though, they are perfectly capable of this. Rather, it’s that they use aesthetics, design, and even their choices and actions to push the limits of social convention. Adventurers enjoy upsetting traditional expectations with experiments in beauty and behavior – chances are, they’ve expressed more than once the phrase “Don’t box me in!”
Adventurer (ISFP, -A/-T) personality
Happy to Be Who They Are

Adventurers live in a colorful, sensual world, inspired by connections with people and ideas. These personalities take joy in reinterpreting these connections, reinventing and experimenting with both themselves and new perspectives. No other type explores and experiments in this way more. This creates a sense of spontaneity, making Adventurers seem unpredictable, even to their close friends and loved ones.

Despite all this, Adventurers are definitely Introverts, surprising their friends further when they step out of the spotlight to be by themselves to recharge. Just because they are alone though, doesn’t mean people with the Adventurer personality type sit idle – they take this time for introspection, assessing their principles. Rather than dwelling on the past or the future, Adventurers think about who they are. They return from their cloister, transformed.

Adventurers live to find ways to push their passions. Riskier behaviors like gambling and extreme sports are more common with this personality type than with others. Fortunately, their attunement to the moment and their environment allows them to do better than most. Adventurers also enjoy connecting with others and have a certain irresistible charm.
Adventurers always know just the compliment to soften a heart that’s getting ready to call their risks irresponsible or reckless.

However, if a criticism does get through, it can end poorly. Some Adventurers can handle kindly phrased commentary, valuing it as another perspective to help push their passions in new directions. But if the comments are more biting and less mature, Adventurer personalities can lose their tempers in spectacular fashion.

Adventurers are sensitive to others’ feelings and value harmony. When faced with criticism, it can be a challenge for people with this type to step away from the moment long enough to not get caught up in the heat of the moment. But living in the moment goes both ways, and once the heightened emotions of an argument cool, Adventurers can usually call the past the past and move on as though it never occurred.
Meaning Is in Every Expression of Life

The biggest challenge facing Adventurers is planning for the future. Finding constructive ideals to base their goals on and working out goals that create positive principles is no small task. Adventurers don’t plan their futures in terms of assets and retirement. Rather, they plan actions and behaviors as contributions to a sense of identity, building a portfolio of experiences, not stocks.

If these goals and principles are noble, Adventurers can act with amazing charity and selflessness – but it can also happen that people with the Adventurer personality type establish a more self-centered identity, acting with selfishness, manipulation, and egoism. It’s important for Adventurers to remember to actively become the person they want to be. Developing and maintaining a new habit may not come naturally, but taking the time each day to understand their motivations allows Adventurers to use their strengths to pursue whatever they’ve come to love.

It's interesting that there are a lot of fairly-rare types on here based on the responses. I don't think there has been a single ESFJ, which are about 12% of the population.

I filled out the form many years ago and it came out INTJ.

I see some of the characteristics of an INTJ in myself but not others. I *do* consider myself more intuitive than average, however. INTJ's use intuition quite a bit in the way they put everything together and I see that in how I think. So that much of it seems correct.

I'll put it this way. I've got enough intuition to be a borderline recluse these days. I think I may be ahead of the curve on wanting to limit my associations with people.
