MBTI - What's your personality type? (ANDROGYNES)

[lady amarant]

89% introverted - 11% extraverted
89% intuition - 11% sensing
79% feeling - 21% thinking
84% judging - 16% perceiving

INFJ - The "Confidant"

INFJs, making up an estimated 1% of all people, are the most rare type (males even more so). They are introspective, caring, sensitive, gentle and complex people that strive for peace and derive satisfaction from helping others. INFJs are highly intuitive, empathetic and dedicated listeners. These traits tend to act as a "tell me what's wrong" sign on their forehead, hence the nicknames Confidant, Counselor or Empath. INFJs are intensely private and deeply committed to their beliefs.

Wow, interesting that INFJ is the rarest type, and yet it's quite prevalent here.

The first time I took this, in 2005, I got INFP. The about a year ago I took it in a Dyadic Communication class and was INTP. Now I'm back again as an INFP. I really feel like it fits me better, though when I find something that really gets me my F turns into a T.

That happens. I've taken variants of the test a few times over the years, and while I'm consistently (and pretty strongly) IN, the other two are much closer to the middle and can go whichever way. INTP is the most common result for me, but I've got INFJ as well.

well, thanks for making me feel less special.   


I'm kidding with you

Keep in mind that it's only the rarest tested type. Though, on the other hand, the Is rule the internet, and the INs in particular are the most likely to hang around forums dedicated to exploring the self, which probably explains the prevalence of the four rarest types here.

[Seshatneferw]

And then again, perhaps an IN personality makes it easier to thumb one's nose at the external pressures of binary gender roles and go one's own way. This would appear to be consistent with how the introverted/extroverted axis is defined, and perhaps also the intuitive/sensing.

I sense a scientific turn to this topic.

I sense a scientific turn to this topic.

That's scary, as these kind of tests are about as much science as VooDoo is.

[RebeccaFog]

Thank God.  Then it makes no difference that I can never understand the arguments.

[tekla]

Nope, consider yourself Pleasantly Ignorant about it, which means, not only do you not know anything, not knowing anything makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside too.  Which also, at least to my crew, means "Hey, when you find out all about that, don't tell me."

You mean voodoo isn't science?

Haha, I was just going to bring up something like this. Though I'm claiming us MBTI-inclined peoples as being more rational on the basis that we kill 17% less chickens than they do.

[Seshatneferw]

Then again, there's nothing wrong with pseudoscience as long as you know that's what you are doing.

A case in point, back when I still lived with my parents I once found a book on astrology. It looked like a nice exercise in celestial mechanics with some weird interpretations added on top if it, so armed with a couple of elementary courses in astronomy I went at it. When I presented nice and properly done horoscopes to my family members they all agreed how well each description fit the person -- right up to the point where I admitted that I'd mixed them randomly. But that was just the icing on the cake, doing the astrology was fun too. Thanks for reminding me of this episode.

INTJ here, though I don't really think those sorts of tests are reliable.

ENFP (sometimes I get ENFJ on other tests)

Extraverted - 79%
Intuition - 100%
Feeling - 84%
Perceiving - 63%

I think INFP's are common on most forums I read (not just TG forums) so I think it has more to do with the fact the internet media attracts them and not so much that a majority of "x" is INFP.

I'm ENFP too. 

[KYLYKaHYT]

I've taken this test (or ones similar to it) many times and I've always come up INFP.

Extroverted 16% - 84% Introverted
Sensing 16% - 84% Intuition
Thinking 26% - 74% Feeling
Judging 21% - 79% Perceiving

I actually thought my results might be different this time, as it's been several years since the last time I've taken one of these tests, and I'm pretty sure I answered some of the questions differently than I used to, but nope, I'm still INFP.

[Simone Louise]

Many of us took a similar test almost a year ago https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,30022.0.html. Today, as last year, I was INFP:
87% introverted
68% intuition
63% feeling
68% perceiving.

Darn, I so wanted to be the non-conformist here. I can't even say I was borderline. I guess I'll go sulk in a corner, and concentrate on being egocentric.

I, I, I, ....

[Huggyrei]

I got ENFJ!

But I was so close to 50% on all the measures apart from the N, which doesn't surprise me, as I kept staring in panic at the options and thinking "but I do both of those, at the same time".

(sorry, I know I'm somwhat behind here; just thought I'd read some of the old Androgyne topics )

Register and take the test...

I got INTP. Sometimes, I get INFP through...

The Meyers Briggs personality test is a variation of something in psychology called the forer effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect

The personality type definitions are so vague that if they were jumbled one could pull different ideas from a different personality type and equally say the same things about themselves. The results are no more accurate than the generalizations that are found in horoscopes.
