Hi Guys and Girls!
I am not sure if someone has asked the same question before, at least I couldn't find it using the search function. I recently came accross something i found really interesting and it is called Myerr Briggs Type Indicator. You can take the test online to see what your personality type is. There are 16 types total and knowing your own type can help you be aware of your strengths and flaws. Also you can read a detailed description of your personality type online.

A personality type consists of 4 letters:
E or I: Extravert of Introvert
S or N: Sensing or iNtuition
T or F: Thinking or Feeling
J or P: Judging or Perceiving

You can take the test over here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp

My type is ENFJ (Teacher) and the description seems to fit me fairly well.

What is your type? Do you feel it is accurate? Did your type change during transition (maybe T versus F because of letting go of previous gender conditioning)?

I voted but didn't take the test, I've been typed a couple times. (Don't ask)

I'm an ISTP, and it fits me like a glove. Hugs, Devlyn

Hi Devlyn
Thank you for responding. based on our types it seems we are total opposites
hugs sweetie

I can fix that, my type is the Troubleshooter! Hugs, Devlyn

Hehe that is good to know! Since my type usually avoids conflicts there will be no problem to solve :p so i am probably boring for a troubleshooter

INFP

Think I got something different before but, I can see it's probably true. Yuck. 

I always think these things are a bit like horoscopes. Practically every question I could say, well it depends, tell me the context and I may answer one way or the other depending on the situation we're talking about.

It gives me INTJ... but quite neutral between some of those categories.

This part made me laugh in the context of this forum: 'many (INTJs) also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.'

Holy crap... that pretty much got me absolutely perfectly. I got INFP. And the jobs that it recommended:

-Religious Education (yeah... I was a religion major in college.)
-Education (my post-college goal, before I gave up on it and became a poker dealer, was to be a teacher. I LOVE working with kids.)
-Graphics Design / Multimedia (I just love ALL forms of visual art, especially animation, although I haven't really ever pursued them despite it being a passion.)
-Musician (God, I LOVE singing. Again, though, I opted to pursue other things over this, although I'm still hoping to start a band some day.)
-Literature and Writing (my absolute FAVORITE hobby. Honestly, the only way that I was ever able to express my true gender identity before finally deciding to do it in real life, was through writing. And I'm still just writing, writing, writing, writing. I would have been a creative writing major in college if I could have been.)

And this quote from the description absolutely scared the hell out of me. (GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!)
"INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities. "

Yeah... this survey pretty much got me 100% perfectly. It managed to capture every single one my my major life interests, the very way that I seem to go through life, where I get pleasure in life, and how I respond to conflict (as in, not at all. I'm a complete "can't we just all get along?" pacifist.)

I think there's an existing poll buried in the backlog on this. I'll do this one too, but you might want to take a look at it, as it had a pretty long discussion that may add somewhat to whatever comes of this one.

INFP, fwiw. And I was paid, from about 19 years old, until my kids were born, for writing.

I think something might be hinky with the polling mechanics or maybe just alignment (or maybe I clicked funny?) as INTP is what's in boldface when I look at the poll, and there's only one entry for that type.

Sounds lovely, but doesn't describe me at all. I'm certainly no Pollyanna type. Think I got ENFP last time. But that doesn't seem to fit either because I'm a hermit. 

I thought about taking it, but then I realized I have no personality.

I would say mine probably reflects quite well my approach to 'trans' things actually - i.e. analyze them to death and consider all possibilities and outcomes in my head in a perfectionist kind of way.

'INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.' - fairly reflective of my approach of saying to myself I don't trust anyone else knows anything for certain about 'trans' anything and I'll rely on my own intuition.

It also calls me a 'rational mastermind' - makes me wonder if I should get a cat and take up 'bond villain' as my next career choice, lol.

Wow! It's impressive how spot on the test is with you. It pretty much nailed my personality as well. You seem to be really creative and cute! I believe the INFP is called "The Dreamer"  ... personally i love NFP's and get along with them very well.

Oh, I thought I saw it called the 'Idealist'. So not me. 'Dreamer's not so bad, I suppose.

I always, always get the Pollyanna one.

Why am I not surprised? 

The MBTI is a pretty established test. The free internet versions are shorter than the full test, but still accurate. The seemingly meaningless and repetitive, rephrased questions are all there for a reason.

I'm an ENFP

I've been ISTJ every time I've ever taken it, and I think it fits really well. They tend to call it the 'Inspector', which is kinda cool.
ISTJ pretty much pegs me for engineering, which is really accurate. Science, math, logic, the works.
I like my personality! Even if no one else does.
