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.

There is a free Mbti at http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp.
MBTI = Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

As for me, I am a male bodied INTJ.

I'm a female bodied INFJ.

I used to be INFP... Odd.

Cheers,
Jordan

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.

It should nail you, that is the point. 

My personality has a ton of famous leaders and scientists, many of whom I have looked up to.
I have to take exception to this one though: Dr Gregory House 

Female-bodied INFJ. I did this test...(thinking)...six years ago (oh that's scary!) in year ten at high school, and I got exactly the same result. Shows how much I've changed.

Always INFP

The I is a very weak one, the P is round about in the middle of P-ness...But the N and the F are off the scale in strength.

You, me, and also Shakespeare. 

So far we're all IN__... I don't know how that explains androgyne propensity for veering off topic though  >

Maybe we use our fabulous powers of intuition for understanding each other even when we seem to be talking around the subject, or nowhere near it.


The thing says there's only maybe just above 2% of people who are INFJ.  I'm also a unicorn according to nero.   If I was an albino, I'd be all set to join a circus.

Unicorn?

Quote from: Lutin on March 16, 2008, 10:01:36 PM
Unicorn?

Our benevolent king Nero has decreed that all androgynes are unicorns in his forest  I could see how this could seem to confusing to someone who has just joined.

I'm sorry.  Nero believes androgynes are unicorns because we're rare and (hopefully) beautiful.

INTJ is also about the same rarity.

I could be a slight oddity here as I am borderline MtF.

Ah, I see. Well in that case, I'm happy being a unicorn. 

QuoteI could be a slight oddity here as I am borderline MtF.

Doesn't seem all that odd from here.

INFJ bordering on INTJ has been my consistent results over the years.

Moderately Introverted over Extroverted.
Moderate expression of Intuitive over Sensing.
Strong balance of Feeling and Thinking.
Slight expression of Judging over Perception.

Counselor Idealist, bordering on Mastermind Rational.
Female-bodied.

Why settle for something as paltry as a kingdom? Let's declare ourselves as the androgyne empire. Besides, emperor is a more traditional title for a Nero.

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.

The 'introverted intuitive' designation seems to be common for all who have answered so far. I guess we really are the IN crowd.
