I have my doubts about these things....my results vary depending on my mood that day, I think.

I agree with sis. This stupid test can't read hearts. It only goes along what you thinking of.

I have followed and studied MBTI for quite a while now deeply. It's helped me in understanding and accepting myself. I'm an ENFP (statistically rare for men) - 50/50 between Assertive and Turbulent 

 

This list is perfection for me. 

 

http://thoughtcatalog.com/heidi-priebe/2016/02/12-struggles-only-introspective-extroverts-will-understand/

 

 

If I were to be described as a fictional character, the Matt Smith Doctor Who would be the best match, after that Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka (who is debated to be either ENFP or ENTP) or Jack Sparrow from POTC, just without the drunkenness haha (Who is ENTP, the two types have many similarities). 

 

People often misunderstand MBTI however and use it as a stereotyping tool, or something to say "oh you're nice, and that person is horrible, and he will like that, and they will only like that. This person is emotional, this person is cold", but that of course is a gross misunderstanding of the system and are armature mistakes. 

 

In simple terms the letters are functions, the term "personality" test really is a bit misleading, we are all individual and we all have all the functions (MBTI letters), your MBTI type really serves to point out what your cognitive preferences and strengths are. You can have two people like the same thing, or come to the same conclusion, but the path they took to get there will be different on a cognitive level, and that's what MBTI serves to examine. Some MBTI types may be prone to certain behaviours or interests, but it should not be seen as an "end all" stereotype tool.  

 

Online tests can only get you so far, and point to what is most "likely", but if you really want to find out your type with more certainty, it requires in depth study of the cognitive functions and the entire system. 

 

 

 

 

MBTI is also often combined with the enneagram system. A number personality system with operates and studies a separate set of cognitive functions to MBTI. People who do not fit their MBTI "stereotype" usually are a result of an unusual or rare enneagram type for their MBTI.  Me personally I do not, I have one of the stereotypical enneagrams for an ENFP, type 7, however the variant of 7 which I am is rather rare for an ENFP, being an "So" 7 (meaning social, someone who likes to have a good reputation, or form of status, though not necessarily in a haughty way), as opposed to "Sx" 7 (meaning sexual, but not to be misunderstood as referring to actual "sex", but means the person is focused on interpersonal relationships). My So variation is what gives off my ENTPish vibe that people in the MBTI community who I have spoken to often pick up.

 

With the variants a person will have a main, then a support. There are three varients, So, Sx, Sp (Sp being Self preservation, putting life's necessities and security at the top of their lives). A person's third stacked function will take a backseat, though will still exist, but won't be in the forefront of the mind like the person's main stacks.

 

Enneagram combines numbers for a more fleshed out typing, but generally people will just focus on the one number, their main number because it is more simple to understand. 

 

 

My full psychological type is ENFP A/T - 7 So/Sx   (Full enneagram; 7w6 - 2w1 - 9w1 So/Sx)

I would've post it on the GAMES forum but couldn't start a thread to to my newbie access.....but didn't want to pass up the opportunity to share this. Where I work, I have new employees take this for fun and discuss the results - 1st I took it I was impressed on how spot on some of the information was....

Post your result....and how you've been able to use your strengths and weaknesses in any aspect of Jehovah's will/organization   

 

Mine was INTP (for example purposes, I'm adding the "Strengths & Weaknesses" page if you can try to minimize the amount of info) 

 

INTP Strengths

• Great Analysts and Abstract Thinkers - People with the INTP personality type view the world as a big, complex machine, and recognize that as with any machine, all parts are interrelated. INTPs excel in analyzing these connections, seeing how seemingly unrelated factors tie in with each other in ways that bewilder most other personality types.
• Imaginative and Original - These connections are the product of an unrelenting imagination - INTPs' ideas may seem counter-intuitive at a glance, and may never even see the light of day, but they will always prove remarkable innovations.
• Open-Minded - INTPs couldn't make these connections if they thought they knew it all - they are highly receptive to alternate theories, so long as they're supported by logic and facts. In more subjective matters like social norms and traditions, INTPs are usually fairly liberal, with a "none of my business" sort of attitude - peoples' ideas are what matter.
• Enthusiastic - When a new idea piques their interest, INTPs can be very enthusiastic - they are a reserved personality type, but if another person shares an interest, they can be downright excited about discussing it. More likely though, the only outward evidence of this enthusiasm will be INTPs' silent pacing or their staring into the distance.
• Objective - INTPs' analysis, creativity and open-mindedness aren't the tools of some quest for ideology or emotional validation. Rather, it's as though people with the INTP personality type are a conduit for the truths around them, so far as they can be expressed, and they are proud of this role as theoretical mediator.
• Honest and Straightforward - To know one thing and say another would be terribly disingenuous - INTPs don't often go around intentionally hurting feelings, but they believe that the truth is the most important factor, and they expect that to be appreciated and reciprocated.

INTP Weaknesses

• Very Private and Withdrawn - While INTPs' intellectualism yields many insights into their surroundings, their surroundings are ironically considered an intrusion on their thoughts. This is especially true with people - INTPs are quite shy in social settings. More complicated situations such as parties exacerbate this, but even close friends struggle to get into INTPs' hearts and minds.
• Insensitive - Oftentimes INTP personalities get so caught up in their logic that they forget any kind of emotional consideration - they dismiss subjectivity as irrational and tradition as an attempt to bar much-needed progress. Purely emotional situations are often utterly puzzling to INTPs, and their lack of timely sympathy can easily offend.
• Absent-minded - When INTPs' interest is captured, their absence goes beyond social matters to include the rest of the physical world. INTPs become forgetful, missing even the obvious if it's unrelated to their current infatuation, and they can even forget their own health, skipping meals and sleep as they muse.
• Condescending - Attempts at connecting with others are often worse than INTPs' withdrawal. People with the INTP personality type take pride in their knowledge and rationale, and enjoy sharing their ideas, but in trying to explain how they got from A to B to Z, they can get frustrated, sometimes simplifying things to the point of insult as they struggle to gauge their conversation partners' perspective. The ultimate insult comes as INTPs give up with a dismissive "never mind".
• Loathe Rules and Guidelines - These social struggles are partly a product of INTPs' desire to bypass the rules, of social conduct and otherwise. While this attitude helps INTPs' strength of unconventional creativity, it also causes them to reinvent the wheel constantly and to shun security in favor of autonomy in ways that can compromise both.
• Second-Guess Themselves - INTPs remain so open to new information that they often never commit to a decision at all. This applies to their own skills as well - INTP personalities know that as they practice, they improve, and any work they do is second-best to what they could do. Unable to settle for this, INTPs sometimes delay their output indefinitely with constant revisions, sometimes even quitting before they ever begin.

I worked for a company that concluded that if we all took a similar test it would enable us to better understand each other and facilitate our working together. The individual result was to be  posted on a small graph we could keep on our desk. The company would pay for it. I always avoid any probing test, whether serious or in fun. Only one of us four field superindents took the exam and got his little graph. Cute little diagram in a plastic desk stand.

A several weeks later we were all together for our weekly staff meeting and he asked if any of us had recieved our annual bonus. We realized he hadn't and were too embarrassed to answer. He said "I knew it, I shouldn't taken that dammed test. They are going to fire me!"

He was right.

Don't probe my psyche.

It pays to be a little paranoid...

 

A lot of my workmates refused to participate in any Health Fitness programs that offered blood tests, they were concerned the company would test for medial issues and then terminate the employee. You never know...

As a Licensed Certified Social  Worker with a degree in Psychology, I took a graduate school course in personality styles. It was an interesting course.  The person generally recognized as initiating the psychology of personality types was Carl Jung. He also believed in astrology (and its types).  Of course, my studies covered Meyers and Briggs, the Kolb and others.  I wrote the obligatory term paper on the course and got the obligatory  "A".   For more than 30 years, psychologists have questioned the use of Meyers and Briggs as well as other Personality Type Assessments. 

 

Look up "Meyers and Briggs flawed" to find numerous professionals, psychologists and others, who have found personality typing to be lacking.

I never used these testings professionally, except with a middle school math class in 1996. I let the students take an informal inventory to select which daily activities they may prefer. 

 

Some people rattle off 4 letters (or 5) with as much pride as people I hear saying they are "proud to be a  Capricorn just like Jesus." According to personality theory (especially Kolb, if I recall correctly) the idea was to understand oneself in order to work on synthesizing characteristics  and  become more well-rounded: example -  the concept of a so called intravert (introvert) learning to extravert (extrovert) around a task, and  verse-visa.  

 

A while back in a teacher's meeting, we all took a couple of personality tests. One was the Myers and Briggs, and a chart to pinpoint which side of each line one's type fell. Mine was one dot in the middle of the chart. So, I have either synthesized all traits or figured out the test, although I hadn't seen it in about  20 years. 

 

Certainly, my husband and one of my sons  seem to lean more towards introversion, than the rest of us.  Personally, I was painfully shy as a child, and scored in as a flaming extrovert when I took that grad course. My teacher wrote on my final paper "Some extraverts are anxious about extraverting."  (She always used the letter 'a' rather than the 'o' in the middle of intravert, etc.)  I think I worked on overcoming shyness, especially during my late teens.  People think I am an obvious extrovert, but I still have a difficult time with being self assertive. I'm a good advocate for others.  As a teacher, I wrote many activities, daily, to appeal to a variety of learning styles  (tactile, audio, visual........ )

 

 If you think these labels are helping you expand the boundaries of your natural tendencies and to continue working on emotional and spiritual growth, why not? If it is pigeon-holing someone into staying the same, it may be an opportunity to re-think the premise.  

 

Love it/hate it? I'm somewhere in between.

A personality test?  I usually fail those.

 

i did this test a while ago.  I got INFJ-T (advocate).  It's funny because I took this test twice.  Same answer, but my percentage of being introvert went from 70% to 80%.  Lol. I'm a mess

You are definitely  not a mess, that's for sure. I believe the original poster wanted this thread in games and puzzles. May have been a better placement, imho

P.S. I know of no valid IQ test online, although I see a number of them posted. Should also be in games and puzzles.  I had some 'official' IQ testing materials at home, but I am thinning out my paper files.

ESFP is considered the "sister type" of ISFP, as they are very similar Jungian types. According to the MBTI theory, it's not uncommon for these two types to be mistaken for eachother. They both have the same functions, tho in a different order (ESFP functions = Se - Fi - Te - Ni*. ISFP functions = Fi - Se - Ni - Te). They both fit into the SP category of types (ESFP/ISFP), which is titled the "Artisans" or the "Experiences". Also, they both fit into the same Socionics "Gamma quadra" (The conversion to Socionics types is this: ESFP = SEE. ISFP = ESI).

On the otherhand, EP types (such as ESFP) are called "Explorer" types, while IP types (such as ISFP) are called "Individualist" types...so that's a clue to their differences.

 

*Functions key:

Fe = extroverted feeling

Fi = introverted feeling

Te = extroverted thinking

Ti = introverted thinking

Se = extroverted sensing

Si = introverted sensing

Ne = extroverted intuition

Ni = introverted intuition

I f you are married, you know your faults.

If you have a relationship with Jehovah, you know your  positive qualities.

If you are in a car group, you know how to put up and shut up.
