What's your Myers–Briggs Type Indicator?

I've taken that test at various times throughout my life. Every time I get the same result. So it must be right.

INTJ.

 

Haven taken it multiple times. Here is the most recent from about a month ago. Took it for a class I'm currently taking.

 

INTP

 

It was claiming ESTJ-A.

 

My Introvert and Extrovert is on the line. It goes back and forth every time I take it. INTJ or ENTJ, most recently it has been ENTJ

 

I'd go with ENTJ, you probably 2nd guess it because you get worn down and don't want to be around anyone. I go through stages like that where I prefer not to have a lot of people around me but at the same time, as a former professional ring announcer, I can handle being the center of attention of a couple hundred people. Being an extrovert means you have that ability to socialize at will. It doesn't mean you want to all the time. Does that make sense?

 

From attitudes, demeanor and responses presented on this forum and folks results to the test they presented, I'm inclined to believe that some of you are seriously delusional or have a propensity towards deceiving yourselves. Please go ahead and take the test a few more times and farm that desired outcome.

 

These things aren't always so obvious. I'm an introvert, but I can absolutely be the center of attention. I can tell the jokes, weave the stories, be the "life of the party" if I have to be. And often I do, because that's the mask I've learned to wear when I'm in that setting. It's a big emotional drain though. I'll agree to a random social gathering happily enough but, as the time nears, the knowledge that I'm going to have to be on stage again weighs me down.

I would much rather be at home wandering through (or being distracted by...) the world(s) in my head.

 

I wouldn't ever the MBTI. MBTI exhibits significant psychometric deficiencies, notably including poor validity(i.e. not measuring what it purports to measure) and poor reliability. (giving different results for the same person on different occasions). There are more methods used to profile and categorize individuals. This system is not, by any means, accurate. In the best case, it MAY give you brief insight, but not consistently enough to go off of.

 

I switch back and forth between the INFP and ENFP depending on what I'm doing. I tend to find it about as useful as the DISC assessment or my horoscope in the daily paper, but not as much fun as runestones, the I Ching, tarot cards, or talking to my imaginary friends.

 

Nope, we fools are a crafty lot and quite capable of subverting the most meticulously crafted understandings. I'll keep an eye out for Clarence and make sure to warn the dusklings not to eat him.

 

I worked at a company that was trying to assess employee potential and growth. It was a good company actually, but they gave us all these tests and had this guy give us bi-monthly training. They used it to determine areas where we should get further training and whether someone would make a good manager or not. The test was fairly accurate for the group, but afterward, they had no idea what to do with it all. Just an example of how some places use it. The entire thing was mostly a waste of time, but I did find it an interesting experience. I was tapped for management training afterward, but I left the company a month later. I had an offer I couldn't refuse, as the godfather would say.

The most interesting part was how it played out after the results were in. Instead of a bonding experience for the entire group, it created division among the workers and they grouped according to their results. I feel like it called attention to our failings more than out positive attributes.

 

Interesting...I mean if it says is and I was honest... So who can I persuade to pay tribute to a great cause?

 

Hahahaha, I laughed till I cried! Thank you!
