Personalities and existential hoopla by Howsie April 26, 2015 at 11:04 AM UTC

Yo! Lately I've been rather intrigued by the concept of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, AKA your personality type!

If you're interested, you can go take the test over HERE, to see your diagnosed personality type. Please know though, nothing as fixed as this can never been entirely accurate. So if its not, feel free to discuss it here, I'm really interested to see all your results.

Have a read about the theory over HERE as well and all the personality types are listed HERE

Vaguely, in the sense of the matter.

ENTJ - The Commander

Howsie April 26, 2015 at 1:04 PM UTC

Quick note also, because a lot of you seem to be confused...

1. THE NAME DOES THAT REPRESENT THE PERSONALITY TYPE PROPERLY. Its just a crappy description, read the fine print.

2. Please say whether or not you agree or not and why, I'm genuinely interested

ViceTechnicolour April 26, 2015 at 2:04 PM UTC

How am I not more judging and assertive...?

Anywho, I got the Campaigner. (ENFP-T)

INFJ-T (Advocate)

It says I enjoy helping others, which is true, and that INFJ-T's make up less than 1% of the population, which is amazing to me, and I'm glad. It says that Martin Luther King Jr. was one also, along with Nelson Mandela!

Edit: Holy crap, everything they have said is exactly what I do and think

This was really cool! I also mostly agree with my results, but I'm not too sure about how Vladimir Putin is an example of an INTJ-J xD Thanks for sharing this Howsie!!

toketrain April 26, 2015 at 11:04 PM UTC

ESFP-T. I've taken this test many times and about a year ago I would get INFP, but now I always get ESFP. I guess people change.

Zieno12345 April 27, 2015 at 12:04 AM UTC

The extroversion in me is 1%, so I'm not sure if it completely counts.

Mediator (INFP-T) INFP personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, INFPs have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the INFP personality type - but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration. When deciding how to move forward, they will look to honor, beauty, morality and virtue - INFPs are led by the purity of their intent, not rewards and punishments. Not everyone understands the drive behind these feelings, and it can lead to isolation, At their best, these qualities enable INFPs to communicate deeply with others. The strength of this intuitive communication style lends itself well to creative works. INFPs will focus their attention on just a few people, a single worthy cause - spread too thinly, they’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that they can’t fix. This is a sad sight for INFPs’ friends, who will come to depend on their rosy outlook. If they are not careful, INFPs can lose themselves in their quest for good and neglect the day-to-day upkeep that life demands. INFPs often drift into deep thought. Luckily, like the flowers in spring, INFP’s affection, creativity, altruism and idealism will always come back, rewarding them and those they love perhaps not with logic and utility, but with a world view that inspires compassion, kindness and beauty wherever they go. These are the bits I relate to. Thanks for sharing this :D

Not to bumpity bump, but I thought I'd bring this back up seeing as I was really enjoying reading all your responses. I've been really getting into /r/infp which is the sub-reddit for my type and its so awesome to talk to people who identify with very similar traits to my own. I really recommend y'all go check out your types sub-reddit.

Thanks for bringing it up! I took it and I was pleasantly surprised. I definitely feel like this describes me well, though I feel like I was changing a lot during the test so it might not be accurate xD

TheTNTPotato May 18, 2015 at 3:05 PM UTC

I remember taking this a while back, actually.

http://www.16personalities.com/intp-personality Sounds about right, actually; An introvert who's also a perfectionist, and thinks realistically rather than trying to twist that reality. x3
EDIT: "there's nothing they'd be more unhappy about than being "common"." Ridiculously accurate.

Awwwww yeeee, you got the same as me bud

I've been really getting into the r/infp sub-reddit. Its a little depressing at times, but they're a nice group of people.

I'm quite terbulent, and would be the analyst.
Seems right.

Edit - Read the description of it, pretty much me in a nutshell. This is quite interesting, thanks for showing us this.

I took it when I wasn't tired this time, and got ESTJ - The Executive. Pretty fitting.

Puysegur May 20, 2015 at 4:05 AM UTC

I did this test just a few months ago and it came up with something different. I think as long as we understand thats its only a representation of our current self rather than as a whole, this is an interesting and helpful tool to learn more about yourself and others.
