STFU NOOB
Oct 26, 2009


The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an assessment based on the theory of psychological type as originally developed by C. G. Jung. It is the most widely used personality test in the world, and with good reason. The cool thing about it is that when you read your own personality description, it feels like someone has known you for years, and when you read other personality type descriptions you say to yourself, "Wow, I know people just like that".

There are 4 "dimensions", I guess, in your personality, according to MBTI.

Extraversion- You get energy from being around people
Introversion- You get energy from being alone

Sensing- You are concerned with facts
iNtuition- You make connections

Thinking- Logical thinking
Feeling- Emotion over logic

Judging- You like things to be planned out
Perceiving- You "go with the flow"

For the record, I'm an INTP/INTJ, but there are 15 other personality types (4x4=16)

Anyway, this is a pretty basic description of MBTI. You should take the test ( http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp ) to get an accurate description of your type. If you're interested further, you can read into "functions" and the more advanced stuff too. It's pretty fun and you can get to know more about yourself in the process.

INFJ or P. I never have completely decided on my function order, which I guess suggests INFP.

Most goons are INTJ or INTP. We have a much higher percentage of intuitives here overall though (compared to the general population)

Yeah, that makes sense:

Wikipedia posted:

Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel ... This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals ...

Wow, I have taken this test at least a dozen times (I was a pysch major) and I've always gotten ENFP. I haven't taken it since I started grad school, though (second year PhD student now) and I took it again, just for shits and giggles.

Apparently grad school has turned my P into a J, making me ENFJ...I read the descriptions of both and ENFP totally described me when I was younger, but ENFJ is accurate now. This is pretty ...graduate school changed my personality.

According to every online test I've ever taken, I'm brilliant and smart and unique and special. The universe basically exists just for me to analyze and eventually control. So you know.

If so, I'm that MBTI type.

I guess I didn't save it for myself, but yeah, there's definitely a chart floating around of the normal distribution of MBTI personalities and the goon distribution of personalities which are complete opposites of each other. Someone still has it for sure.

But this makes me feel much more special than a horoscope does. At least it did until I found out being an INTJ isn't special.

I think there's truth to that. Though I don't know that I've taken this specific test before, its rating systems lead me to believe that I'd normally score in the "I" range.

However, I started a new career earlier this year that has drastically changed my outlook on many things.
