Hi all,

I am an MtF from an east asian country and have a lot of MtF friends there. I have noticed a pattern that the majority of MtFs in my country are of the "IN" (introverted intuitive) types in the Myers-Briggs personality indicator, and a surprisingly large proportion of them are INFPs. I wonder whether such a strong correlation of transgender people and MBTI types exists. If any of you has any interest in MBTI and knows your own MBTI type could you reply below? Also please mark if you are MtF or FtM.

Thanks.

Hi Stmoraza 🙋 Welcome to Susan's Place!  I'm Jessica and I'm a transgender woman.  I did that test a bit ago.  I'll have to find those results again and post it.
I see you were missed with a proper greeting, so I'll post some links that may help you get better acquainted with the site, if you haven't found them already.

Please feel free to stop by the introductions forum
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,8.0.html to tell the members about yourself.

I'm INFP.  We have asked this before here and it turns out that INFPs are over represented as compared to the general population.  Also, if I remember correctly the majority were INs.

you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.

MTF INFP :) Isn't that interesting.

I've tested formally once, informally a few other times. While I always seem to end up a P, I've skirted the edge of J once or twice. Unfortunately, I understand the questions too well now. I don't think I can take the test anymore without injecting confirmation bias into the results.

I took the test several months ago and was designated as INFJ, and I took the test again a few minutes ago and according to that test I'm INFJ

I am Male, but not MtF. More likely trying to transition to androgynous, which fits me best.

I kept getting different results every time I've done that test, several years between times. So I have no idea. The only thing that was somewhat consistent was that I got the "I" (introvert) aspect more often than not. I'm FTM.
Mar. 2009 - came out as ftm
Nov. 2009 - changed my name to John
Mar. 2010 - diagnosed with GID
Aug. 2010 - started T, then stopped after 1 year
Aug. 2013 - started T again, kept taking it since
Mar. 2014 - top surgery
Dec. 2014 - legal gender marker changed to male
*
Jul. 2018 - came out as cis woman and began detransition
Sep. 2018 - stopped taking T and changed my name to Laura
Oct. 2018 - got new ID-card

Medical Detransition plans: breast reconstruction surgery, change legal gender back to female.

I took the 16 personality test, so I hope that is the right one. Anyways, I got the mediator which is in fact an INFP. Honestly I am not surprised though as my social anxiety dictated what answers I chose. If I did not have anxiety then the results may have been different.

I would like to note that I do not agree with the results, as some of the things it says about me would be inaccurate. In the end I do not even believe in these tests, as people do not have fixed personality's. Just because someone acts or thinks a certain way now does not mean they will within a month or a year.

According to the 16Personalities test, I'm ENFP-A.

IIRC, when I took a similar test years ago for one of my friends, I was something similar. :)

I can never remember what I was in the past, but I think it was some off-shoot of what I am now, anyway. 

Took the test here: https://www.16personalities.com/

Said I'm an INFP-T Mediator
85% introvert
77% intuitive
51% feeling
51% prospecting
61% turbulent

I think the shift in feeling and prospecting is thanks to Eryn. I DEFINITELY remember being more judging and thinking in the past.
Looking to make and keep friends! Spreading the love, now that I can truly love myself!

I just looked at my percentages again, and WOW!  Two of my stats are 90%!

90% Extraverted
70% Intuitive
63% Feeling
90% Prospecting
78% Assertive

The site misspelled "Extroverted."  ;D

I also took the test there: https://www.16personalities.com/
