And then, hmmmm, "personality type"  It feels a bit like astrology to me.  A fun party and dating device that gives people the chance to talk about themselves (always entertaining) and categorize the worlds population into tidy bunches.

I feel this way about the very casual versions of the MBTI test roaming free on the internets, but having recently taken the "official" version with several hundred questions, am somewhat converted. My detailed report was like looking in the mirror. 

Anyone ever take the MMPI?

I had that one administered as a 16 yo teen in a psych situation. 

It would certainly seem that a more detailed test with a larger number of questions would produce more convincing results. 

I remain a skeptic but delighted to consider the practical usage, as in looking for a career or self improvement.

I've taken the MBTI test several times over the years, and I've gotten INTJ about 95% of the time. I've noticed over time that I'm slowly but surely moving closer and closer to INTP. As of the last time I took the test (a few days ago), I had only a 1% preference for INTJ over INTP. I think it's quite interesting how we change over time.

I'm an INFP, "The Dreamer", and the description is insanely accurate.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see there are so many INFPs here! Generally, we tend to be pretty few and far between. 

Infj...
Thats not me.. I dont really judge ppl but i do tell them if something is right or wrong. I am big on mercy.
These tests never pinpoint who i am. Its odd.

But the J doesn't mean judgmental--it means roughly "works freely from a preliminary judgment."

Ohh... But in the description it said i liked revenge or poetic justice.. And i dont like revenge at all...

I have taken various versions of the MBTI tests since my official test at the end of high school. Every time I have been INTJ. I have always agreed that the description fit me perfectly. I even initially picked a major outside of the suggested careers and then switched to engineering after a year and was much happier.
Similarly on the true colors test I tested as green which has the same characteristics as INTJ.

Same for me except I'm going into research science.

I would love to go into research science after grad school! Ideally in electromagnetics.

wow. INTJ is supposed to be one of the rarest personality types and it's in the lead here. Hehehehe.. I really have found a place I fit in.

Retook it with my roommate last week, along with the Birmingham Grid for Learning Multiple Intelligences test. Came out as INFP.

I am NFJ, the E/I fluctuates and J is not a stong preference. I'm an ambivert :B

Also i am enneagram 2w3

Wow, for INFJ's to be a rare breed in the world there sure are a lot in one place lol.

I'm INFJ

Every few years I retake some version of this test and my results are always different. Last time I got ISTJ.

I got ENFP again, which is what I usually get.  Extroversion was higher than normal this time, usually I am a "ambivert" too hehe.

Guess somewhat with the pack of INTJ but more like IN lol.
I 78 N 50 T 1 J 1
Does describe me well I think I took some similar test and about same thing and really it is fairly accurate.

i'm an ISTJ. figures based on my personality

I'm an INFJ. I'm surprised at how many other people are too, since it's supposedly the rarest type. Maybe it has some correspondence with transsexualism.
