I know there was a thread a while back about this but it seemed to somewhat fall flat or there was not enough around. Maybe now we can get a larger number of people involved. I don't want to say what Seshatneferw and I are both probably thinking, I would rather let the results speak for themselves.

Some people and certain personalities change. Some change depending on the time of day even.
Looks like my Type is male bodied INFJ
I'm not sure, though because I tried to answer honestly, but sometimes I could see where my choice would make a difference and I'm not certain I didn't influence it or anything. Plus, I think on a couple of questions I could have gone either way.
Jinkies, Batpeople, look at the description. It nearly nails me.
QuoteThe Portait of the Counselor (INFJ)
The Counselor Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in reaching their goals, and enterprising and attentive in their interpersonal roles. Counselors focus on human potentials, think in terms of ethical values, and come easily to decisions. The small number of this type (little more than 2 percent) is regrettable, since Counselors have an unusually strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others and genuinely enjoy helping their companions. Although Counsleors tend to be private, sensitive people, and are not generally visible leaders, they nevertheless work quite intensely with those close to them, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes with their families, friends, and colleagues. This type has great depth of personality; they are themselves complicated, and can understand and deal with complex issues and people.
Counselors can be hard to get to know. They have an unusually rich inner life, but they are reserved and tend not to share their reactions except with those they trust. With their loved ones, certainly, Counselors are not reluctant to express their feelings, their face lighting up with the positive emotions, but darkening like a thunderhead with the negative. Indeed, because of their strong ability to take into themselves the feelings of others, Counselors can be hurt rather easily by those around them, which, perhaps, is one reason why they tend to be private people, mutely withdrawing from human contact. At the same time, friends who have known a Counselor for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that they are inconsistent; Counselors value their integrity a great deal, but they have intricately woven, mysterious personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.
Counselors have strong empathic abilities and can become aware of another's emotions or intentions -- good or evil -- even before that person is conscious of them. This "mind-reading" can take the form of feeling the hidden distress or illnesses of others to an extent which is difficult for other types to comprehend. Even Counselors can seldom tell how they came to penetrate others' feelings so keenly. Furthermore, the Counselor is most likely of all the types to demonstrate an ability to understand psychic phenomena and to have visions of human events, past, present, or future. What is known as ESP may well be exceptional intuitive ability-in both its forms, projection and introjection. Such supernormal intuition is found frequently in the Counselor, and can extend to people, things, and often events, taking the form of visions, episodes of foreknowledge, premonitions, auditory and visual images of things to come, as well as uncanny communications with certain individuals at a distance.
Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker Eddy, Queen Noor are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ).
INFP, both from when I encountered MyersBriggs tests many years ago and taking this online test now.

Just to spite Rebis ;), back to topic:
I've taken a few variants of the Myers-Briggs test over the years, and I'm quite consistently IN. In the other two dimensions I'm pretty much in the middle of the scale, and while INTP seems to be the most common result, I've been labelled any of the other three combinations as well.

Oh that made me laugh so much. How true it is! My best friend is an introvert. When he gets REALLY drunk he pukes, cries, and then mumbles about random things. When I get really drunk, I puke, hug everyone and say "I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!" and then offer to do a table dance (at what point they remind me that I'm not sober enough to even get TO the table...)

It's surprising what happens when you are drinking vodka straight out of the bottle. It used to be gin straight out of the bottle, but when you puke that up it tastes like you are throwing up a christmas tree... ever since then the smell of pinesol makes my stomach turn.

Bit more than I needed to know. :D
Never put much thought into how what I drink tastes like on the way back up. Then again, I try to make sure taste is irrelevant long before that happens. Been a long time since I drank like that.
Thank god for whiskey then, nothing else tastes or smells like it.
I just retook the test and came up INTP.
Not a lot of difference, but the differences are important. probably depends on my mood as to which is more accurate.\

You don't think the same way as they do more than likely. Considering that stat, it does not surprise me.

Sometimes when I read someone else's post, I notice that I take away something completely different than others do.
One of the traits of people like me is that we can write but cannot verbalize our ideas. If you ask me how I feel in person, I'll stammer and change what I'm saying as I say it.

QuoteThe Portait of the Architect (INTP)
Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition, it is the structural engineering role -- architechtonics -- that reaches the highest development in these Rationals, and it is for this reason they are aptly called the "Architects." Their major interest is in figuring out structure, build, configuration -- the spatiality of things.
As the engineering capabilities the Architects increase so does their desire to let others know about whatever has come of their engineering efforts. So they tend to take up an accomodating role in their social exchanges. On the other hand they have less and less desire, if they ever had any, to direct the activities of others. Only when forced to by circumstance do they allow themselves to take charge of activities, and they exit the role as soon as they can without injuring the enterprise.
The Architects' distant goal is always to rearrange the environment somehow, to shape, to construct, to devise, whether it be buildings, institutions, enterprises, or theories. They look upon the world -- natural and civil -- as little more than raw material to be reshaped according to their design, as a formless stone for their hammer and chisel. Ayn Rand, master of the Rational character, describes this characteristic in the architect Howard Roark, her protagonist in The Fountainhead:
He was looking at the granite. He did not laugh as his eyes stopped in awareness of the earth around him. His face was like a law of nature-a thing one could not question, alter or implore. It had high cheekbones over gaunt, hollow cheeks; gray eyes, cold and steady; a contemptuous mouth, shut tight, the mouth of an executioner or a saint. He looked at the granite. To be cut, he thought, and made into walls. He looked at a tree. To be split and made into rafters. He looked at a streak of rust on the stone and thought of iron ore under the ground. To be melted and to emerge as girders against the sky. These rocks, he thought, are here for me; waiting for the drill, the dynamite and my voice; waiting to be split, ripped, pounded, reborn, waiting for the shape my hands will give to them. [The Fountainhead, pp 15-16]
Many regard this attitude as arrogant, and Architects are likely, especially in their later years, after finding out that most others are faking an understanding of the laws of nature, to think of themselves as the prime movers who must pit themselves against nature and society in an endless struggle to define ends clearly and adopt whatever means that promise success. If this is arrogance, then at least it is not vanity, and without question it has driven the design engineers to take the lead in molding the structure of civilization.
Albert Einstein as the iconic Rational is an Architect
Dr. David Keirsey, Robert Rosen, George Soros, Gregory Peck, James Madison, Ludwig Boltzman, Charles Darwin, Adam Smith, and Thomas Jefferson" /> are examples of the Architect Rationals
That's pretty accurate. Hmm...let's try another analysis...(like you all really want to read all this now...heheh! I am evil, hear me roar :icon_evil_laugh:)
QuoteINTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.
Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.
INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves.
Um. Yes. That is me.
QuoteA major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves. The open-endedness (from Perceiving) conjoined with the need for competence (NT) is expressed in a sense that one's conclusion may well be met by an equally plausible alternative solution, and that, after all, one may very well have overlooked some critical bit of data. An INTP arguing a point may very well be trying to convince himself as much as his opposition. In this way INTPs are markedly different from INTJs, who are much more confident in their competence and willing to act on their convictions.
Hmmm...actually, in this area, I think I'm a mix of INTP and INTJ...I'm confident, but then again, I have trouble honing in...career wise, for example. There are lots of things I'd like to do, but I don't know which one I'd be best at or which one has the most promise. Right now I'm trying to decide between a master's in gender studies (I'm leaning towards this one now) and education, while also thinking about a degree in creative writing or maybe Japanese or some other language...yes...now that I think about it, this applies to me too. You know, I am often trying to convince myself as much as those around me (particularly about my future).
Quote
Mathematics is a system where many INTPs love to play, similarly languages, computer systems--potentially any complex system. INTPs thrive on systems. Understanding, exploring, mastering, and manipulating systems can overtake the INTP's conscious thought. This fascination for logical wholes and their inner workings is often expressed in a detachment from the environment, a concentration where time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli are held at bay. Accomplishing a task or goal with this knowledge is secondary.
INTPs and Logic -- One of the tipoffs that a person is an INTP is her obsession with logical correctness. Errors are not often due to poor logic -- apparent faux pas in reasoning are usually a result of overlooking details or of incorrect context.
Games NTs seem to especially enjoy include Risk, Bridge, Stratego, Chess, Go, and word games of all sorts. (I have an ENTP friend that loves Boggle and its variations. We've been known to sit in public places and pick a word off a menu or mayonnaise jar to see who can make the most words from its letters on a napkin in two minutes.) The INTP mailing list has enjoyed a round of Metaphore, virtual volleyball, and a few 'finish the series' brain teasers.
Yes, again, except that I HATE Risk/Stratego. I like the other games though. My pod neighbor and I do word jumbles everyday. I tried sudoku, but it makes my head hurt. I'm a language geek too. And I can be really bad about making careless mistakes. That one is me to a 'T'. Everything but the confidence thing.
Now I'm going to go back and read the rests of these posts and catch up to you all.
Quote
Introverted Thinking
Introverted Thinking strives to extract the essence of the Idea from various externals that express it. In the extreme, this conceptual essence wants no form or substance to verify its reality. Knowing the Truth is enough for INTPs; the knowledge that this truth can (or could) be demonstrated is sufficient to satisfy the knower. "Cogito, ergo sum" expresses this prime directive quite succinctly.
In seasons of low energy level, or moments of single-minded concentration, the INTP is aloof and detached in a way that might even offend more relational or extraverted individuals.
Extraverted Feeling
Feeling tends to be all or none. When present, the INTP's concern for others is intense, albeit naive. In a crisis, this feeling judgement is often silenced by the emergence of Thinking, who rushes in to avert chaos and destruction. In the absence of a clear principle, however, INTPs have been known to defer judgement and to allow decisions about interpersonal matters to be left hanging lest someone be offended or somehow injured. INTPs are at risk of being swept away by the shadow in the form of their own strong emotional impulses.
This is the general explanation below the other one in the J. Butt and M. M. Heis explanation. It's extremely me. The second one eerily so.
Alright...I'll stop adding to this post...it's long enough already.

Oh yes. Unintentional ones certainly count! Those are the best ones sometimes. Because then the guilty party can dance around saying "I didn't mean it! Don't *pun*ish me!!!"
Anyway, back on topic:
I have been gaining a better understanding of myself and people around me since this thread was begun.
I coerced a bunch of people at work to take the test and I've been thinking about the bigger application of it by trying to transpose the types across general society.
Like how republicans seem to be an actual 'type' general. Not all of them of course, and democrats are another type. The person who handles the front desk here at my company is a Guardian Protector and a lot of the characteristics she has fits into how she does her work and, as I explained to her, why people have the need to curse about her. It's because her trait is to need to see results and she often reminds people of what is expected of them and things like that. Whereas, if it were me in the job, I would let people do whatever the hell they want which is not only impractical, but likely to prevent anyone here from ever hiring me now that I've childishly blurted it out.
So, for once, I may be learning something, however, my mind is designed to forget it all tomorrow.

You made a pun...:icon_love:
I thought puns were a punishable offense? Didn't someone say that in another thread?
Actually, I think that was me. :icon_blah: I'm sorry. I'm a turncoat. I have come to love the pun!!! They are pun-tastic!!! :icon_weee: hehehe.

Anyway, back on topic:
I have been gaining a better understanding of myself and people around me since this thread was begun.
I coerced a bunch of people at work to take the test and I've been thinking about the bigger application of it by trying to transpose the types across general society.
Like how republicans seem to be an actual 'type' general. Not all of them of course, and democrats are another type. The person who handles the front desk here at my company is a Guardian Protector and a lot of the characteristics she has fits into how she does her work and, as I explained to her, why people have the need to curse about her. It's because her trait is to need to see results and she often reminds people of what is expected of them and things like that. Whereas, if it were me in the job, I would let people do whatever the hell they want which is not only impractical, but likely to prevent anyone here from ever hiring me now that I've childishly blurted it out.
So, for once, I may be learning something, however, my mind is designed to forget it all tomorrow.
heh. I agree with you, especially about the parties...I have a hard time getting along with a lot of republicans I've met in general. I don't even discuss politics or religion with them. That's very interesting. I'll have to think about this more.

So I lugged the catheter and bag around DisneyWorld with my wife, 4 children, son-in-law, and 3 grandchildren. And I've been to the hospital, been reamed and cleaned, and come home without a catheter. ;D And now I am recuperating and catching up on all the doings here. It's good to be back.
Warmest regards,

Totally OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back, Simone!!! :icon_flower: ...and ouch. yikes.
Yes, it's easier to smile now. Now I'm supposed to drink lots and walk lots. Maybe I'll stick Jaimey's flower behind my ear. Anyone for a stroll by the river? Most of the snow is gone.
Even better news: my daughter got out of the hospital today! It is my intention and I'm keeping my fingers crossed (and ask that you do the same) that, even with the school she's missed, she will be able to graduate with her high school class on 6/7/08. Her first choice college has accepted her and offered a nice scholarship, if she can get past that hurdle.
Blessed be the unicorns,
Simone
Ohhhhhhh, the poor kid. I hope she does graduate as expected.
And I hope she never sees a hospital again except to drive by it.
but not to commit a driveby

I own a copy of "The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead".
I am ready for the uprising.

The first and last ones to die, usually get it the worst.
There is no good when you are being killed by zombies. I think they just gnaw at you until you eventually die.
I wonder why their old dead teeth don't fall out?
Stupid zombies. they have better teeth than my girlfriend's family.

I can be the first zombogyne, though because of my maleness, it might be an androzomb.
Even as a zombie, I have GID.
Andrombie?
that sounds almost like a disease.
Can't go to work today. I have andrombie.
You all watch such scary dramas. Murder She Wrote is scary enough for me. I prefer Brigadoon, or Sleepless in Seattle, or Serendipity, to name a few off the top of my head.
The wimp,

I'm not so sure they're dramas. I tend to laugh at a lot of it. like this ---> :laugh:
Aren't zombies androgynes by their very nature? They don't really have a gender it seems.
By the way anyone seen Fido? >:D
who's Fido and why are you making a devil face?

Fido is a hilarious movie set in the 50's where zombies are treated like pets and slaves.

And the whip? Please? Pretty please with cherries and maybe even some highly-tempting whipped cream on top? ;)
And that "1970s' Reeb" piccy is so cute, Rebis! :D
Also, I have a question...I know it's a crime worthy of the death sentence (or certainly spanking sentence) to commit a pun, so I was just wondering, is it also a crime here to consume large amounts of caffeine? Not addicted-to-it large amounts, just ready-to-lie-down-and-have-its-twitchy-hyperactive-children large amounts... So yeah, are people here for or against caffeine consumption? (Although, now that I come to think of it, I'm not sure if I want to be found innocent or guilty... ;)).
I have not heard any decrees against caffeine. I'm using it right now.
Would you like us to punish you? >:D
As truly splendiforous as that sounds...I'm right thanks. Leave it for your new Spanking Nero movie (it'd ruin the suspense, otherwise :laugh:).
Just glad to know caffeine isn't forbidden! Woo! ;D

Never withhold caffeine from a junkie, that is taking your life into your own hands.
On a side note, other than a soda when at a restaurant once in a while, I have been caffeine free (and almost sugar free) for just over 2 weeks now and I am not yet in jail for murder!
that implies a murder has been committed.

Oh god, please no!!! I had braces when I was a teenager :'(, so now I have *issues* with dentists/orthodontists... So I'll do anything you want, just so long as it doesn't involve teeth!
Or mushrooms. Bleugh. :P
(However, if it's chocolate, I'm yours ;)).
And though I much prefer
Midsomer Murders and
Jonathan Creek ;D, isn't Angela Lansbury lovely?! Her, and Maggie Smith and Judy Dench. When I get to be their age(s), that's how I want to be. :)
Good that you didn't come by for supper last night. I made steak with mushroom sauce and sweet potato oven fries. The mushroom sauce had 8 ounces of mushrooms (and a quarter cup of brandy) for three people. Lamb stew tonight, I think. BTW it seems to me, that firing a cannon at a cow would yield hamburger, not steak.
As for clothes, I spend a lot of time in a bathrobe, but I sleep naked when I am home. I recently bought a teal nightshirt (like a long T-shirt in material and design) for sleeping away from home. Any of you into constructing your own clothing? I made some of my own for colonial re-enacting, but really dream of sewing or knitting more of my daily wear. It's kind of the same impulse that led me to farming.
I choose not to discuss dental work--and have no desire to do my own. Continuing to eat solid food is, however, very important to me.
Buon appetito,
Simone

You are correct, it would make make hamburger. Then again, with the right cannon it could just leave a dark spot on the ground.

I must confess that I've had New York steak two nights in a row (rock star life style, well, not, but I get to eat the same food) and shrimp and lobster the night before that. But I'm not against veggies, I eat them too. But meat rocks my world.

Lllllunch.
Simone. She's what's for lunch.
Veggies are like character actors, fill a film full of them and it'll often be a good film. They give the film texture and bulk and can make or break it. A film without them feels a bit skimpy. But a film needs some stars. Like casablanca, it may be peter lorre and the fat guy that provide the good texture but you need bogart and whatsername. Similarly you need meat to a meal to give it that focus.
