| Hello Rose, I just want to say, I've noticed your posts on varying threads and began to think we must be a lot alike, but something wasn't sitting quite right with that idea. Now I figured it out: Quote:

| I took the first quiz and got INTJ. My most recent longer-version MBTI was an ISTJ, but not very far into the S. I'm right on the line between S and N, and also very close on the line between E and I although I've never scored an E. I am very strongly in the T and J categories, however. |

Often I find that the question can be a little vague on the I/E and T/F values but unfortunately the J/P has a strong bias towards being messy/clean etc... Not the best indicator unfortunately. |

| One test says I'm INTP, the other says I'm INFP. In the past I've tested as INTP more often. I think it depends on the wording of the questions and the choices. For a lot of the questions I would really like to answer, "It depends," instead of yes or no. For example, am I energized or drained by social situations? It depends! If it's a fun dance party with people I like, then I'm energized. If I'm not comfortable with the subject of the social situation, then I'm drained. Sometimes I want to be the center of attention (again, if it's something I care about), and sometimes I don't. I certainly wouldn't mind getting attention from looking good or being in a good-looking photo, if only I could. Sometimes I'm logical, and other times I let my feelings guide me. Sometimes those two are in conflict, and I end up doing nothing. So, how accurate do I think my test results are? I work in an INTP field, and I have the feeling that most people see me as an INTP. I'm definitely introverted and somewhat analytical, but I'm not that great at logic problems, and I don't feel like I fit in with other people in my field. As for the INFP side, it's true that I'm idealistic, though my values are different from and less altruistic than other people's ideals. I try to stay true to my own values, but I'm not willing to make many sacrifices. |

| INTP here. But like slinky said, some of the questions depends on the situation. I've always been good at seeing things from multiple sides (yes, sometimes even more than 2). I feel like I understand most people (even though I don't agree with everyone), and often see things from a perspective that would make many people look strange at me |

| One test labeled me as ENFP, the other as INFP. On the introversion/extroversion scale, I love to be around other people, but I also have a strong need for alone time to "recharge my batteries." Interestingly, I'm 33 now and very surprised to be the same "type" I was when I took this test back in high school - ENFP. I know I've changed a lot since then... it's surprising that, according to these tests, my underlying personality is basically the same. EDIT: "ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole." That describes me to a T.

| yeah i was thinking about that because as i said, im really in a transition stage now where i really want to get out of the box. but what about the innate nature of a person? i mean do you guys believe that a person born with an introvert personality will always remain to be that way because it is already in his nature to be that way so that no matter how hard he tries, or desires to be an extrovert, he will still be an introvert in the end? my friend talked about that the other day, got me thinking. |

| Your personality isn't fixed, it can be changed according to desires and will change over time as your situation changes (from child to adolescent to adult to parent, etc.) The most shy introvert can go on to become the life and soul of the party if they want to, I've seen it in others and done it myself, there's no reason why you can't also oh yeah I got ENTJ (Chief) and ESTJ (Overseer) Although following other peoples rules and traditions isn't really my thing so the description for an ENTJ is probably more accurate |

| Interesting. I am the ENVP Orignator, and ENVP Advocate. 5.5 Percent has this type. Extraverted Intuition , was the original label. What I find very interesting, is I have a green aura, that I can see myself. When I read the meaing of a green aura, it says the same thing that personality test does! There is something to that! And it was me to a tee. Thanks for the link, cool. Ama Last edited by Amatrine : 12-26-2007 at 04:51 AM. |
